Welcome!

   Hello. I am Reverend Raven Behrendt, ordained minister and artist. I have created this blog to share with you my art and spiritual insights. I only ask that you be patient with my writings. I am not a writer. My writing style may seem a bit crude and scattered to the eye of an educated literary. I will however, do my very best to convey my ideas in a meaningful and entertaining way.
   I am an Universalist. This is a spirituality that accepts peoples of all faiths. We welcome and respect all spitiualities. I, personally have spent many years studying many spiritual ideas including but not limited to: Paganism, Gnosticism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and more. What I found by diving deep into the fundamental ideologies was that at their core, they are all the same. All of the stories and myths are meant to point to the very same higher principles. I love studying spirituality and I know that I will never be finished. No one can know all things, but I have a constant drive to continue expanding my awareness on such things. As a Universalist in perpetual study, I do not adhere to any specific beliefs. This being because, the act of simply 'believing' any one principle: 1. closes your mind to further possibility of learning more. 2. doesn't make it absolutely true. I will never stop learning and growing and I will never close or turn off my mind.
   As a novice artist, my intention is to always create things that cause people to feel. I have always loved to paint and experiment with my own creativity. I tend to allow my spiritual ideas flow through my artwork in an attempt expose my deep love for nature and the energy of God. As with my spirituality, in my art I will continue to grow and learn. I am excited to continue my work as an artist and minister always attempting to expose people to Art and Soul!
