We journey to meet the Morgens, the Nine Sisters who dwell on the Isle of Avalon and drink from the Cauldron of Transformation.

Priestess of Avalon Spiral One: Circle Two
Saturday 21 – Sunday 22 December 2024

Priestess of Avalon Spiral One: Circle Three
Saturday 1 – Sunday 2 February 2025
We make Brighde Dolls in honour of the Maiden Goddess of healing, poetry and smithcraft and praise Her in our poetry and songs at Bride’s Mound. We ask that the seeds of intent which we planted at Samhain are quickened by the touch of Her White Rod.
