Why I am a Water Witch and Avalonian Priestess – Part 1
Last updated on: July 17, 2017 at 8:10 am By Annwyn Avalon
If you asked me why I was a Water Witch and Avalonian Priestess years ago, I probably would have given you a completely different answer. It would have been a vague reply about being pulled to the path like a magnet with so many road markers pointing me in the right direction. I have written about how I was called to this path and how I found deity several times but this post will be a little different. This will... Read more

The Dog ate my Spell
Last updated on: July 10, 2017 at 12:28 pm By Annwyn Avalon
I unpacked my bag, removing all the items including the spell bag I had just made. I put everything away placing the spell bag by my computer. I was pretty tired so I dragged myself to bed, thinking that I would put the bag in a new location in the morning. For now, it would be fine by the computer, it was on the table after all. In fact it would be the very first thing that I saw in... Read more

Working with a Sacred Bowl
Last updated on: August 22, 2017 at 7:08 am By Annwyn Avalon
Vessels in their various forms are important to the Witch. Not only because they hold the sacred liquid that we work with but it also because it represents so much more; the divine feminine, the cauldron of rebirth, the sacred well, and the holy grail. Read more

5 ways you know you are a Water Witch
Last updated on: June 19, 2017 at 12:36 pm By Annwyn Avalon
So you are a witch and you love the water! In fact you might even be a just a little obsessed with it. You tend to find yourself walking the shores and collecting river rock and sea shells. If you tend to work with spirits that are associated with the water and worship goddesses born of the waves then chances are you are a Water Witch. Water Witchcraft is a “genre” of witchcraft that honors and derives its power from... Read more

Balancing the Elements: a Water and Sea Witch guide to finding balance with the elements
Last updated on: June 15, 2017 at 9:18 am By Annwyn Avalon
It would be silly to think that someone who calls themselves a water witch works ONLY with the water element. This would make for a very unbalanced practice! Rather Water or Sea Witches work with all the elements through their particular path which is deeply connected to water. A Water Witch may call themselves Water or Sea witch because they derive their power from the Waters or the Spirits that dwell with in it. Working with Air Water Witches can... Read more

More of a Healer Than a Warrior
Last updated on: June 6, 2017 at 2:18 pm By Annwyn Avalon
It’s amazing how we go through life and we make mistakes, say things we mean but they get taken out of context, words twisted, and we misunderstand each other. It’s even more amazing how we learn from these things, we learn more about the world, those we come into contact with and ourselves. Each action has a reaction and they are often not what we expect them to be, but with each action and reaction we are shaped, we shift, we learn, and we heal. Read more

My way to the water
Last updated on: May 24, 2017 at 11:09 am By Annwyn Avalon
Each week in the Water Witches group over on Facebook I post a question topic. A few weeks ago I posted about finding our way to the Water Witch path. I have been so busy lately that I haven’t had time to respond to many of the question topics myself. So how did I find my way to the Water Witch path? Well that is a long winding river through some very interesting places. I will do my best to... Read more
