Glastonbury Blue Bowl

Last updated on: February 8, 2017 at 12:00 pm By Annwyn Avalon

Recently in my practice I have been feeling like there was something missing. Something sacred that during ritual I just needed to have on my altar, dip my fingers into etc. Well after several times of feeling this way, I meditated and found that I needed to work with a sacred bowl. Not a cauldron, which is very important to me as well, but a bowl. Something to told sacred waters. I started to look around. I wanted it to... Read more

Water Witches- The Craft of the Canal

Last updated on: December 28, 2020 at 10:48 am By Annwyn Avalon

*This article has been updated for accuracy* This blog has been almost exactly 9 months in the making. I chuckle at this, 9 months is the time of gestation, from conception to birth. It is also a very magical number! If you have been following my blog you know that I was in the UK last May. I wrote several blogs about my experiences, but time got away from me and finishing these blogs were last priority. Then last night... Read more

Blessed Imbolc

Last updated on: February 8, 2017 at 12:00 pm By Annwyn Avalon

Blessed Imbolc! I hope that the turn of the wheel, and the first month in 2013 has treated you well. While the rest of the world is experiencing the first glimpse of spring with snow drops and crocus peeking out of the ground. Here in Arizona we are experiencing a mix of death and birth. The leaves are still golden and falling to the ground from our first frost. The bunnies are out as if it were already Eostara. I... Read more

Winter Crafting and Crystals

Last updated on: February 8, 2017 at 12:00 pm By Annwyn Avalon

During the holidays I have a hard time focusing on writing, mostly because there are so many distractions. So I like to take advantage of these times, the times I’m not writing, grading, etc etc to feed my soul with a little Witchy crafting! First! There was a little gem show here at the Community college. The prices were pretty reasonable, and there was a great selection. I did a little shopping for a friend, as well as picked up... Read more

Changing a Magical Name

Last updated on: February 8, 2017 at 12:00 pm By Annwyn Avalon

Magical names are part of many Magical Practitioners paths. We choose these names for several reasons. Each person had their own personal reason. Many are required to take one for a Course, or when starting in a Tradition, others do it for anonymity, or to resonate or “vibrate” with a specific spirit, goddess, path, plant or animal. This is my actual Tattoo that I took a photo of then photo shopped onto this background for by logo. I have been... Read more

Magical thinking vs Mundane

Last updated on: February 8, 2017 at 12:00 pm By Annwyn Avalon

I often know things, see things, feel things that defy logic. If you have any type of psychic ability that has been awakened, whether that is being an Empath or a full on Seer then you understand what I am talking about. We are often met with opposition in various forms. Being laughed at, trying to be discredited, or just shrugged off as crazy. I personally get hurt a little when things like this happen. I wish that people would... Read more

GOOD BYE 2012!

Last updated on: February 8, 2017 at 12:00 pm By Annwyn Avalon

If you are like me, then 2012 was one of ups and downs. I am personally happy to say GOOD BYE! Many of my pagan friends reject the idea of celebrating the Gregorian New Year because they focus on Samhain as being the New Year. I do understand where they are coming from and I tend to make my Samhain new year all about my pagan and spiritual goals. It is very hard for me to just ignore modern holidays.... Read more

Avalon Working

Last updated on: February 8, 2017 at 11:56 am By Annwyn Avalon

This is a very hard blog for me to write, mainly because I dont think that these words will begin to express the powerful energy of the ritual. So lets start with a little background. Last Thursday night I was driving home from a Henna gig. I was unloading the car and happened to glance at my phone, and the time was 9:11 I smiled and kept going. A few minutes later I went around back to water my plants.... Read more
