From time immemorial Glastonbury,
the magical Isle of Avalon
has been home to an ancient and powerful Goddess
known as the Lady of Avalon - She who is Brigit MorgAna.
She appears in the myths and legends of this sacred place
in the Sisterhood of the Nine Morgens.
The most famous was Morgen la Fey,
the faerie half-sister
to King Arthur.
She is remembered as Maiden Bridie,
Goddess of healing, poetry and smithcraft,
who appears here in the swan-shaped
landscape temple of Avalon
and in the legends of St Brigid,
who visited Glastonbury 1500 years ago.
She is the Great Mother Madron or Modron,
Mother of the
lineage of Avallach
From whose dreaming womb
All that is new is brought to birth.
She can be seen on misty mornings in the form of Rhiannon,
the White Mare from the Seas,
the Goddess as lover who rides the Hollow Hills of Avalon.
She is the Crone Tyronoë,
stirring the Cauldron of Transformation
of Creativity, Death and Rebirth.
She is the Lady of the Lake
Lady of the Holy Springs and Wells that flow from her body
Nourishing the land.
