Soul Journal – Pages 1 + 2

Believe it or not this is my name page!  I was reluctant to do this – I am not sure why, but once I got started I had such fun – what a great experience – I spent hours, doodling, colouring, sticking, playing.  It really loosened me up.  I am thinking that in all future journals, and where I have space in those I have already done or started I shall make room or tip-in a name page – it is well worth it and definitely shows who owns the book.

I am with Gail in that I don’t do armour either.  This is a drawn copy of an image I created some fifteen years ago – she is one emanation of several protector-teachers that I have – at the time of her creation (she is a stitched tapestry on canvas) She named herself Raven Mother – quite apt eh .  The mirror at the centre of her chest is to deflect and reflect negativity, the spiral shield I have placed at her crown as it represents for me both internal and external negative criticism and put-downs…the spiral transforming/transmuting these or just spiraling them away from me.  The red stone on the left depicts heat/energy and nature both nurturing and inspiring aspects of life.

Raven ATC swap

Here are all the raven ATCs

They have now been posted to the participants and should arrive within 7-10 days. Thank you to everyone who partipated – they are all wonderful

Up and running, or drawing, painting, sewing….

Oh, I’m so excited!! This blog is going to be some much fun and a good addition to all the amazing writing blogs attached to the Soul Food Cafe.

I am hoping that you’ll be dying to create visual arts in addition to your writing and using the great creative visualisation prompts from the Bumper Catalogue we’ll have a very colourful blog on our hands.

So, as this journey along the Serpentine Road slowly begins, I have been altering a book to use as my “photo album”. With each new chapter, I’ll be adding something to it and posting the images here. I’d love it if you’d do the same.

In addition to this, we plan to co-ordinate some snail mail art. Imagine, Raven art all over the place!

So, hang onto your feathers girls. Stay tuned for the next installment!
