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 is Nolava of the Sacred Land,
Goddess of Compassion, Healing and Transformation
She holds up the mirror of change,
Reflecting us back to ourselves.
She appears in the myths and legends of this place
in the Sisterhood of the Nine Morgens.
The most famous of whom 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 Old Woman, the Crone of Avalon
stirring Her 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.
She is the Land, the Waters, the Fire and the Airs of Avalon
and the Spaciousness within and between all things.
She is Goddess of my heart.
