Sacred Springs and Sulis

Last updated on: February 8, 2017 at 11:57 am By Annwyn Avalon

It was time to return to the hot mineral waters of Tonopah. El Dorado Hot Springs which means “Hot water under the bush” is a Hot Spring in Tonopah Arizona. These hot waters bubble up from the subterranean hot springs that lie under the hot desert sands. The waters are thick with a soothing mix of natural minerals. Ducks, Peafowl and wild birds roam the desert oasis, which is full of life. Don’t let the hot desert fool you, there... Read more

Priestess of Avalon

Last updated on: February 8, 2017 at 11:57 am By Annwyn Avalon

One of the most common things I hear is “What is a Priestess of Avalon?” To really understand what a Priestess of Avalon is, we must first explore what being a priestess is and what or where Avalon is. In addition to this, there are many that believe that Priestess is a title that is earned, while others say it is a path of service they were called to, and still others say it is devotion to a particular deity...

Last month I was out of town much of the month. Part of my travel was to San Francisco for a lovely well needed vacation. The second part was to attend my 2nd year at Pantheacon. It was a fantastic time, and I will be blogging about some of the things I learned very soon. However this blog is all about a Sea Charm for protection. I was very excited to attend Pantheacon this year, a good friend was planning... Read more

Avalon Water Spell

Last updated on: February 8, 2017 at 11:57 am By Annwyn Avalon

Avalon is the Isle of Apples, the Mystical place of intense healing and rebirth… So this spell is just a little rhyme that I use to help me part the Mists and journey to Avalon to heal… I anoint my brow with the red waters of the Chalice well I anoint my hands and feet with the white lime/calcium saturated waters of the White well Then I whisper… Waters of Avalon draw me near To the place that I hold...

Goddess Prayer

Last updated on: February 8, 2017 at 11:57 am By Annwyn Avalon

A student of mine asked me to write her a daily devotional. Though the devotional is very specific (and I may end up posting it) I have written a daily prayer to go along with it. While I was writing it I noticed that it would be used by anyone in their daily practice and with any Goddess(or God for that matter) Goddess_____ Give me wisdom to see, Those things that are baneful and harmful to me. Grant me the... Read more

Let your practice speak for itself

Last updated on: February 8, 2017 at 11:57 am By Annwyn Avalon

One thing I have learned over the years as a healer, diviner, and Priestess is that the Goddess will bring the right people to your door step. When money is needed she brings the right client etc. When I feel like my practice or services are failing or not reaching enough people she provides opportunities for me to meet new people, and tell them who I am and what I do. Don’t get me wrong I am not sitting at... Read more

Aphrodite

Last updated on: February 8, 2017 at 11:57 am By Annwyn Avalon

I usually tell people that Gaia brought me to this path, and this is true she did raise my awareness, walk with me and open the doors to Magic! It wasn’t until recently that I realized that I have been a Goddess worshiper my entire life, especially during high school. You see when I was in high school I was still going to the church my parents told me to. I was rebellious, but there were certain things I just... Read more

Where the light is the brightest the Shadow runs wild

Last updated on: February 8, 2017 at 11:57 am By Annwyn Avalon

Years ago when I first became aware of the path I was on, I did what many pagans do. They find they are on this path and then begin to explore, looking to labels to define them. When one comes from the Christian church they are very hesitant on this path. They find Paganism, Wicca and OH MY! Witchcraft. Immediately years of brain washing and conditioning comes into play. I even remember once that I told a friend I was... Read more
