Morgan as a Title
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…
Read MoreAvalon 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…
Read MoreThe 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…

Read MoreBlessed Mabon!
Today I have decided to do a bonus post as it is the Autumnal Equinox! The official time of the Equinox this year is 3:20 PM (Eastern Time) on Wednesday September 22. This is a very powerful and spiritual time of year, as the time between Mabon and Samhain (or Halloween) is one…
