  • Daughter of Morgana Poem

    For today’s post I want to share a poem I have written based on my connection to the great enchantress Morgana Le Fay! Daughter of Morgana by Maranda Wabik Dancing along the shore Mists cling to the trees Lights along a path catch the eye. Dancer stops and walks Through a grove of mist Into…

  • Harry Potter References to Arthurian Legends

    For today’s blog post I would like to take a look at the ways in which J.K. Rowling referenced Arthurian legend in the Harry Potter series of books.   Some of these references are very obvious and others are less so.   It is important that we are able to understand just how Rowling was…

    For today’s post I would like to share with you a poem I composed about Morgana and what she means to me! Morgana Le Fay By Maranda Wabik Great Lady of Avalon Queen of Apples and Magick Hair dark as a raven’s wing Skin pale as alabaster Lips red as garnet Small in stature Large…

    There are tales that link Morgan to being a title rather than simply a specific character.    Modern Avalonian witchcraft traditions even sometimes refer to their priestesses as Morgens!   It is an interesting way of looking at the figure of Morgan Le Fay.    When we go back and look at the original reference…

  • Avalon Poem

    For today’s post I have decided to share a poem that came to me in a moment of inspiration, and creative liberation!    It is also largely inspired by my blog post from yesterday on walking the path of Avalon.    This is what the path of Avalon means to me, and I hope you…

  • The Path of Avalon

    For today’s post I would like to discuss walking the path of Avalon.   We can walk this misty twilight path of knowledge and personal empowerment, if we so choose.    Avalon can either be seen as a real place (which has been argued over the true location over for centuries) or as a state…

  • The Morgana and Rhiannon Connection

    For today’s post I would like to look at the connection between Morgan Le Fay and Rhiannon!    I have already done a post looking at Rhiannon’s connection to Guinevere, and this can be seen as almost a companion post to that one.    Many may question how one goddess can be connected to both…
