Bill Ried Raven
I thought we would like to have a replica of Ried’s Raven on our island. The story of the birth of mankind according to the Haida Legend is told.

White Owl Island
White Owl Island is a part of the Lemurian Archipelago and, like the Isle of Ancestors is regularly visited by the SS Vulcania who brings a fascinating human cargo to its shores. White Owl Island is a popular destination for residents keen to seek the advice of White Owl. It should be high on your list of destinations on the Lemurian Silk Road.

It is lovely. I will include these under R for Ravens. Fran sent me more a month or so ago and I have been waiting for the right place to put them. The Alphabet project is just the right place.

Anita: A larger picture can be seen by clicking on my name. The story in the Haida legend says that mankind was formed between the shells of a great turtle. I have always seen a similarity between the Maori legend of the earth and sky being the parents. Bill Ried was, perhaps, the most important of Canadian sculptors. He also made fine silver jewelery. He was a young radio announcer in Prince Rupert, B.C. when I was first married and living there. The Raven is a totem of the Haida.
