Cyberia - The City of Ladies

Pandora’s Gift - Heather Blakey

Posted in Lemurian Wisdom, Queen of Lemuria Chateau, Women's Myth and History by imogen88 on March 26th, 2008

Prometey rejects Pandora’s gift — Pandora’s box with diseases, vices and disasters.
(Engraving on bronze, 2-3 B.C. Musee de Louvre, Paris)

Pandora’s Gift

Bearing Pandora’s gift prominently on her heart
Seared by Vulcan’s reddened, blazing, branding iron
She wore the scars of self-doubt
Her battle coat stained, shredded
By the beak of the very falcon
Who relentlessly clawed, pecked at Prometheus
Vulnerable, chained,
She stood defiant
Until the raven came
Bearing the self-sowing seeds of self-confidence

Knowing the raven will come is all the hope one needs.

Always fascinating, this theme. The etching is so old, it’s beyond imagining.

City of Ladies

Christine de Pizan set out to disprove masculine myths and within the context of her time her thought was revolutionary. In her classic ‘The Book of the City of Ladies’ Pizan explains how she had been commissioned to build the City of Ladies.

The Cyberian City of Ladies, is a reincarnation of the lost City of Ladies as envisioned by de Pizan.

Capital of Lemuria

The City of Ladies is the capital of Cyberia and is the city that residents retreat to during the long Lemurian summers. Being by the sea it is a cool place but perhaps more importantly, it is populated by an eclectic bunch of writers and artists who maintain residences here.

Cave of the Ancients

The Cave of the Ancients is the place where pilgrims who have passed through the Seven Doors of Soul Food gather in a circle. Here Elders and Ambassadors of the Soul Food Way work collectively to rescue much of women's history and mythology, their stories and tales from decay, and in doing so find meaning.

Enchanteur's Journey

Enchanteur's Journey is the journey that adventurers undertake with le Enchanteur herself. (Heather Blakey’s alter ego) This journey, deep within Lemuria, is an important soul journey and is steeped in Goddess Religion, Mythology and folklore. Under Enchanteur’s guidance and with the help of supportive mentors, travellers wander the Lemurian Silk Road and undertake labours under the guidance of people like Baba Yaga, the Russian crone who Clarissa Estes Pinkola made famous in her book ‘Women Who Run With Wolves’.
