Healing the Mother Wound in Bath with Sulis

January 10, 2019 By Annwyn Avalon

A few days later while spending time in the Chalice Well Garden I decided to do a re-dedication to Sulis, working at the shrine of The Sacred Mother I used a yellow flower from the garden to represent her solar aspect, motherwort and the shrine to connect to the Mother energy.

The details of which are personal. Read more

After a while of chanting I had a clear channel of communication with the ancestors, and while I have worked with the ancestors and ancestral practice since I was a baby witch, I had never experienced working with them in this way. At this point in the chanting ritual everyone was chanting, and very loud. Then I heard the Ancestors speak, I could hear them speaking audibly and very clear. Read more

I also visited some of the trees including the beautiful Yew tree that was near King Arthurs Grave and the kitchen with a beautiful open cooking area that one can only dream of having in their own home! After strolling around the grounds, looking at plants and taking photos, I headed over to a ruined site that was called “Lady Chapel”. Here is where I found the Black Well. Read more

Several weeks have now passed since I stepped foot in Glastonbury. I had intended on writing about my pilgrimage much sooner, but upon arrival home I was whisked away into a furious scramble of performance preparation and drilling choreography.

Nehalennia is a Dutch goddess, Celtic or Germanic, who was adopted by the Romans who crossed the North Sea from Netherlands to United Kingdom to sell their goods. There is evidence they worshiped her and she was asked for protection and prosperity. In the third century C.E. after a storm, the sea level increased and covered the temple and the shrines with ocean water. Her name had disappeared under the water lost to time. Read more

Summer has arrived here in Oregon and my garden is alive and growing well. With the warmer weather and lovely rain the flowers are exploding in a colorful carpet across my gardens.

I was feeling frozen, stuck in place, really focused on protecting my heart and not letting it feel all the pain going on right now. I knew that this needed to change and so I contemplated it for several days. Then it began to snow, and I watched the flakes come down and cover everything in a fine white powder. The next morning I was contemplating the state of having a frozen heart while watching the snow slowly melt. Slowly the sun crept across the landscape, thinning the snow and releasing a little steam from the shed roof. Read more
