Hearing the call of Avalon…
Hello, my wandering Witches!
I hope this post finds you feeling nice and cozy, wrapped in your favorite blanket or sipping on a warm cup of tea. This week has been exponentially more positive than the last few weeks combined, and I’m truly feeling on the upswing. I’ve made a little vow to myself to start looking for tiny miracles wherever I can, no matter how small they may be, whether it’s the delightful refund I needed or a sweet, unexpected smile from a stranger on the street.
Each little magic moment is a reminder of the wonder surrounding us.
I'm also paying close attention to the messages and signs the universe is sending my way, ready to embrace their wisdom. Let’s celebrate these delightful nudges from the cosmos together! 🌟
The other day I was laying in bed ready to fall asleep, and I started to think about Avalon, shrouded in enchantment and whispers of ancient power. As my mind drifted, I started to see Morgan Le Fey in the moonlight, speaking to me through the trees. She was asking me to come back, back to Avalon. Memories flickered like candle flames—those magical moments when I, too, was a part of the lore, stepping through the shimmering mists, heart racing with the thrill of adventure and the promise of mysteries yet to unfold.
It felt as if Avalon was not just a memory, but a living, breathing entity, calling me back to its haunting beauty and the magic that lingered in the air.
It is time for me to go back…
I remember the first time I heard the call of Avalon, swirling in the air like a whisper on the wind. I was nestled in a cozy corner of my favorite metaphysical store in Atlanta, surrounded by shelves brimming with crystals, tarot decks, and the delicious smell of sage. In a class centered around intuition and listening to the universe’s whispers, we were invited to connect with our higher power and ask to lead us to a particular item that would help us on our current journey.. As I closed my eyes and focused, I felt an exhilarating rush of energy envelop me—the unmistakable call through the veil, illuminating the sacred journey that lay ahead. It was a moment that ignited my spirit, sparking a flame of wonder and possibility.
At this point in time, I was just beginning to dip my toes into the enchanting waters of Paganism, so I decided to ask the universe to guide me towards the path I should follow. Our instructor suggested that we go out into the store part of the space and, without overthinking, simply walk toward the item we were destined to find. With a mix of excitement and curiosity, I walked out and headed straight for the bookshelf snugly located in the far back corner. To my delight, on the bottom shelf, all by itself, was a beautiful copy of "The Mists of Avalon." Even better, right next to it was a single, mysterious Oracle deck known as the Avalon Oracle. In that moment, I just knew they were meant for me!
It was at this moment that led me to many more studies of the wonderful mysteries of Avalon.
Since that magical day many years ago, I have immersed myself in that enchanting book countless times. Each time I hear the gentle call of its pages, I find myself returning to its captivating world. It remains one of my absolute favorite stories, and I truly adore how it intricately weaves together the actual practices and beliefs of Avalon, breathing life into the myths and rituals that inspire my own magical journey.
Being an eclectic Pagan, I’ve discovered a wondrous tapestry of divine connection that weaves through my spiritual journey, inviting me to converse with a delightful array of gods and goddesses from various cultures. Each deity offers unique perspectives and gifts that enrich my practice, whether it's the playful mischief of Loki or the nurturing embrace of Demeter. These conversations are not merely ritualistic; they are vibrant dialogues filled with inspiration and insight, turning ordinary moments into sacred exchanges. Embracing this eclectic approach allows me to dance through mythologies and traditions.
Exploring the divine in all its quirky, beautiful forms, while feeling the energy of the universe swirl around me, guiding my path.
In the most recent few years, I have been working closely with Athena, Hecate, and Persephone, seeking their guidance through the tumultuous waves of grief and transformation that engulfed me. When my father passed, the storm of anger and hate swirled within me, leaving me feeling distanced from the very divinities I once revered. Yet, in my darkest moments, it was Athena’s wisdom that helped me navigate the labyrinth of sorrow, Hecate’s illumination that shed light on my shadowed path, and Persephone’s journey between worlds that reminded me of the cyclical nature of life and death. Together, they taught me that even in the depths of despair, there lies a thread of magic, patiently waiting to be woven into a new tapestry of understanding and acceptance.
I am very grateful for their guidance.
Now it is time for me to part the enchanting mists once again and return to the mystical realm of Avalon, where I must bravely face both the formidable Morgan and the wise Goddess. It is essential for me to attune myself for my upcoming absence and to deeply listen to what they ask of me in this sacred moment of connection.
Since the other day when I heard the call of Avalon, the universe has been showering me with enchanting signs, each one weaving a tapestry of magic and affirmation. I found myself face to face with a deer, one of my spirit animals, emerging gracefully from the snowstorm, a shimmering symbol of guidance and protection in the chill of the ethereal landscape. Just as I turned my thoughts to Avalon, messages discussing its wonders began popping up in my inbox.
As if the very realms were nudging me back to my sacred path.
The Avalon oracle deck, my steadfast companion in the realms of magic, rests patiently on my altar, whispering sweet reassurances and gentle affirmations through each card drawn. Those vibrant images, accompanied by wise and insightful words, urge me to trust wholeheartedly in my journey, fueling my excitement to dive back into the warm and inviting magical embrace of a world that has always felt like home to my spirit.
I look forward to sharing all my new experiences with you all!
Love & Magic,
Rebecca
