Avallach Emrys

About Avallach Emrys

Hi, I'm Avallach Emrys. Pennsylvania is where I call my childhood home, and it's where the forest became a close friend of mine. These days, I've settled between Cleveland and Sandusky in Ohio. Writing is both my passion and profession, but I also find immense fulfillment in mentoring others on their spiritual paths. I'm deeply rooted in my spiritual journey. I'm a member of the Ancient Order of Druids in America (AODA), the Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids (OBOD), Ár nDraíocht Féin (ADF), and a Novice with the Order of The Sacred Nemeton (OSN). Furthermore, I've committed myself as a Monk with the Gnostic Celtic Church Monastery. This dedication to spirituality inspired me to write "The Path of The Sacred Hermit" in 2023, a book that weaves together Paganism and monasticism.
