Well, Avalon Priestesses do magic!
There are so many different ways to be a Priestess of Avalon. Some are more devotional, some are more practical; some earthed, some spacey…
… but magic is a part of all of them!
Magic is just arranging energy in alignement with your intent so your intention can blossom on the physical. It’s all about making stuff happen – making (holy) choices and backing it up with energy work.
I don’t care if you call it manifesting, affirmations, cosmic ordering, whatever – it’s all magic.
And there is no shame in it.
I’d argue that a Priestess HAS to be able to implement her will on the world around her. How else is she going to change the world for the better?
And magic is the backup that allows us to do this.
So yes, Priestesses do magic.
I know not all priestesses agree with me on this, and that’s fine. Thing is, I am a priestess of Morgan le Fay, and she is a bad bitch sorceress, so it would be very strange if I was against magic and spell craft.
Priestesses have stuff to DO and we need the energetic backup.
We have classes to run, temples to raise, circles to hold. We have to look after our people and serve them in our own uniquely skilled way – because as a Priestess of Avalon, all people are our people, not just ones that agree that the Goddess is awesome and crows are the best birds.
I strongly believe that ancient Avalon was a training college, where people would go to train in the skills of a priestess – herb craft, mediation, ceremony, death work, rites of passage, spiritual counsel and of course big fat devotion to goddess – and then take those skills back to their communities.
They’d adapt their skills to their little town or village, helping folks with period cramps and marrying folk under the linden tree or leading the seasonal festivities…
… and then when they were burnt out and needed a rest, they’d return to Avalon. To refresh their skills and nourish their souls, connect with their team and fill up until they are ready to venture out again.
And to support all these things today, as they did then, Priestesses do magic.
That’s what our annual Priestess of Avalon training is based on here at the Morgan le Fay Mystery School.
We train you up three powerful priestess masteries – the rites of the underworld, so you can hold people in their loss and help folks move through death, grief and transformation; the rites of life, so you can help your community celebrate and receive the beauty of being alive through rituals and blessings: and the rites of sisterhood, so you can create communities and powerful group ceremonies and lead from a heart-lead place aware of all the issues a priestess needs to know in the modern world.
Plus of course how to share it about and actually do your work. We don’t all live in a village with a cottage handily waiting for the new witch to move in. We gotta figure out how to share our services with the world, and adapt our work so it can best help who is in our community.
It’s for priestesses that want to DO STUFF.
And when you are a priestess who DOES STUFF… it’s so SO nice to rely on magic and spirit to back you up.
