Raven’s Bread (formerly Marabou) derives its name from the experience of Elijah, the prophet in 1Kgs. 17: 1-6. Ravens, sent by God, nourished him during his months of solitude at the Wadi Cherith (the Cutting Place).
Raven’s Bread is a quarterly newsletter (FEB-MAY-AUG-NOV) for hermits and those attracted to solitude published by Paul and Karen Fredette. It seeks to affirm and support the solitary way of life, providing information, reflections, news, and notices offered by the readers themselves.
At this site we offer a free but abbreviated version of our full printed newsletter, omitting the Discussion and Reader Forum featuring responses to a quarterly discussion topic, and Letters from the readers.
