White Rose of Avalon

Myth

  • Modron, Morrigan, Morgen

    For today’s post, I have decided to discuss the evolution of one of my favorite topics.   The Great Goddess Morgen le Fay is a unique figure within the Arthurian legends and Celtic lore.   She was not always known by the name Morgen and is likely the most modern evolution of this particular Great…

    Welcome back to White Rose of Avalon’s week-long tribute to the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite.    For today’s final day of Aphrodisia Week, I have chosen to focus on Aphrodite’s aspect of Queen!   It is, in my opinion, her most powerful aspect which is why I saved it for last. So, Aphrodite is seen…

  • Helen, the Face that Launched 1000 Ships

    For this week’s Femme Fatale Friday, I have decided to feature Helen of Troy!   Helen of Troy was once married to the King of Sparta, Menelaus.   This is why he would launch a war to try and get back his wife, as her leaving with Paris was humiliating as well as insulting.  …
