I am a Priestess of Avalon because I love this Land and it sings to me, sings of what it has always been, and of my part in its story now. ‘DEDICAND’ I have stood in this place before. Photo © Maria Ela Lewanska Here with my Sisters. I have walked here Heart trembling In new robes My feet searching out The old path Step by step. I have stood here before Swept away by the glorious storm Inside me. Held by the majesty of the oaks Rooted deep in this Land. And lifted my eyes And met yours My Sister Across this Circle. And known it Not for the first time. And felt the fire shoot through me Connecting me deeper – Land, tree and Sister Together again. I have stood here before. 20
