SEARCHING..... SOME CALL IT AVALON......

Avalon is the Inner Temple of the Celtic and British Mysteries, a landscape of the soul, a country of the heart. It is the land which the poet and mystic see in vision, where the artist and musician find inspiration; where the soul goes for healing and spiritual refreshment: a timeless land of power and mystery that offers initiation and enlightenment to all those that embark upon the inner voyage.

Avalon does not exist in the dimensions of time and space. It lies within the Otherworld, a place that the Celts have always taught us exists now and always, nowhere and everywhere, in the ‘thin’ places of the landscape, within the cracks of everyday life. As an archetype, or blueprint, of cosmic order and harmony, it distils the qualities of power, beauty and wisdom, sorely needed in our world today.

Avalon is from a Celtic word meaning 'apple.' The apple-tree is a Celtic Tree of Life, upholder of the Worlds above and below and the source of all spiritual sustenance. In Irish tales, it grows upon an Otherworld island and bears the fruit of immortality which emits a heavenly fragrance, is able to satisfy all hunger, heal all ills, and yet always remains whole.

In both Irish and British traditions, the Isle of Apples is traditionally ruled by a group of priestesses who are the guardians of the Tree of Life. They are also keepers of a magical vessel, cauldron or chalice, a timeless symbol of the Goddess, which may nourish, heal, inspire, and transform. The priestesses, led by Morgan le Fay, act as initiators of those who voyage to Avalon, and their vessel is nothing less than the cauldron of rebirth, out of which emerges the transformed initiate of the Avalonian Mysteries.
