The Power of Healing Waters
They say that time heals all wounds. In my case, it has been the healing waters of truth that have healed my soul. Standing with the sword of truth can be incredibly lonely. Last September, when I stepped away from service at the spring and exposed what was happening behind closed doors, I was immediately demonised. Annwyn at Chalice Well with the Glastonbury Bronze Bowl, collecting healing waters.
Sacred Water
Water Priestess Annwyn Avalon – Image by VicFoklHeart As we move out of the final moments of the Year of the Snake and into the year of the Fire Horse, it seems like so much is going on right now. It is raw and real and downright crazy right now. Are you hanging in there? I know there are moments when I am overwhelmed by it all and feel stuck and hopeless. That isn’t the case, though. We are powerful, and together we have the power to make change.
The Water Temples In Bali Saved Me From Returning...
The Water Temples in Bali saved me from returning to the White Spring. Two weeks after I moved to Glastonbury, I began volunteering at the White Spring. For so long, it has been such an important place to me. A place where the spirits spoke so loudly. I received the message to first start teaching about Water Magic in the White Spring in 2012.
Here Is How I Healed My Mother Line
Healing the Mother line isn’t easy ancestral work. However, it is rewarding and powerful work that can help future generations. On Easter Sunday of 2015, my younger sister came flying down the stairs of my childhood home and tried to perform an exorcism on me in front of my child. I walked away without looking back. For a decade and 6 months, I didn’t see or speak to my biological family. Over the years, I exchanged a few text messages with my mother, but things never worked out.
Real And Raw In Glastonbury
I missed posting last month, and I am struggling to find something magical to talk about. When I changed the name of this blog from The Water Witch to A Water Priestess in Avalon, I had every intention of writing more about the Priestess path, my life here in Glastonbury, and my magical adventures. I still hope to do this, but how can I even write when I am constantly battling drama, trauma, and insane egoic energies? When I first moved to Glastonbury, it was everything that I had hoped for.
A Life In Transition: Serving The Waters Of Glastonbury
It was the dedication to my practice and connecting with the water and the water spirits that brought about the circumstances that changed my life. At the time, it was exciting; I was focused on what I was gaining and this new, exciting adventure I was about to embark on. I never once stopped to consider there would be loss.
Everything Changes: A Blog Reborn
When I first began blogging, it was nearly 15 years ago! Back then, the blog was called The Water Witch in the West. I loved the early days. I blogged about my practice, what I was learning, and how I was exploring my path. I also showcased items I made, such as ointments, sea witch spell kits, and art, on my blog. A few years later, I was attending Many Gods West. My dear friend SpiritsCrafts introduced me to the editor of the Pagan Patheos channel. I am so grateful for this introduction.
Springtime Magic: Enchanting Ways To Work With Flowers
Spring, the time of rebirth, of bright colors and beautiful flowers, is well upon us. No doubt you have stopped to pluck a pretty spring flower just recently! There are many ways to use flowers in magic; you may have already used them in herbal or green magic. Popular herbs such as Chamomile, Lavender, Jasmine, Rose, and Hawthorn are often harvested and distributed in their flower form. Flowers are beautiful and pair well with so many different forms of magic.

2 Years Living In Glastonbury
It has now been 2 years since I arrived in Glastonbury. Life is still full of magic, but this year was more stressful. My life revolves around the White Spring and my Water Priestess work and I couldn’t be happier. It is honestly a dream come true, and sometimes I have to pinch myself to believe it is real! This year brought beautiful connections with so many people. I feel as if I have a real community in both the White Spring Team and my Water Priestess communities.

3 Witches On The Sabbat
Working at the White Spring can deliver experiences that will leave you shattered or bring you to a state of absolute bliss. Sometimes it seems like there is no in-between. The spring brings a full spectrum of experiences. Some of which are often life-changing. This has been my experience of the place. It has left me shaken and crying and, at other times blissful.
Frozen In Stone - A Fossil Symposium
If you have followed my work for any length of time you have probably noticed that I use fossils in most of my rituals and spells. I’ve been obsessed with Crystals, Rocks, and Fossils since I was a kid! I am obsessed with all types of aquatic fossils! I love Ammonites, Megalodon Teeth, Toad Stones, Belemnites, Devil Toenails, Fairy Loafs, Crinoids, Water Dragon Bones (Aquatic Dinosaur) and so much more! I love fossils, well let’s be real here.

One Year as a Keeper at the White Spring
Exactly a year ago, I began my first shift as a Keeper in training at the White Spring. It has been both amazing and really tough. It has tested me, transformed me, left me crying on my knees, exhausted me, and shown me some of the most amazing magic of my life. It has both shaken and strengthened me. A Keeper is what the volunteers at the White Spring are called. I really like this term. It is humble, it implies that we are there to be of service and to keep the place safe and clean.
One Year in Glastonbury a Recap of Chalice Orchard
One year ago, the Water Spirits were guiding me to make a change. I would uproot again and land in Glastonbury as the sacred steward of Chalice Orchard. It was a big change and like all the other times they have guided me, I listened. They called me into sacred service in Avalon. So, I turned my life upside down. I sold my beautiful homestead in Oregon and arrived in Glastonbury a year ago. I am very lucky to have dual citizenship, but moving internationally is never easy.
Bewitching the Waters
Announcing Bewitching the Waters Symposium Something new and watery this way comes! Water, Witchcraft, Shapeshifting, Spirits, Folkmagic, and underworld currents.

This time we are getting to know Beth Katherine and her work with water and water creatures! Who are you and how do you practice?
The Way to Avalon
The Way to Avalon Over a decade ago I heard the call of Avalon and answered when it pulsed so deeply in my being. I remember my High Priestess saying to me “You know you are Avalonian right?” Every part of my body and soul vibrated with a resounding YES! I was Avalonian and I knew it. I then responded to her with “Yes, but what is Avalon?” After a little research and a few pushes from her in the Avalonian direction I joined the Avalon Mystery School under the directorship of Mara Freeman.
Moving to Glastonbury
It feels fitting that on the darkest day and longest night of the year I break my blogging silence. This darkness brings forth a powerful beginning rather than an ending. Walking the Way of Water often requires deep trust and surrender. At times it may be beautiful like the sun that dances upon the water. At other times it may leave you gasping for air and feeling like you are drowning. The way of water is always changing and transforming us. That is exactly how I have felt for most of 2022.
The 1st Water Priestess Confluence is COMING SOON! The 1st Water Priestess Confluence
Today I have a HUGE announcement The 1st Water Priestess Confluence is coming soon! Before I tell you the details, let us take a trip down memory lane! I remember the time leading up to and after my initiation into the Priesthood. It felt like I could never live up to the weight of the word Priestess. I remember endeavoring to do my best, allowing the Water Spirits to lead me through uncharted waters. As scary as it seemed, I knew this was my life path.
Spell Debris
Hello Readers! I know it has been quite some time since I have dropped a blog on this platform. So today I thought I would answer one of the most common questions I get from people on my Instagram page. I probably get asked this question 5x a week. At first, I answered every question. Now, I feel it is time for a blog post! So what is the most asked question on my Instagram?

Xulsigiae the Water Goddess you have never heard of! January 4, 2022 Annwyn Avalon Water Goddess – Image by Canva.com Xulsigiae is the Water Goddess you have probably never heard of! Perhaps it is because she is an obscure Goddess lost to time and cultural ruin. Xulsigiae is considered to be a Gallo-Roman Water Goddess with connections to the triple, solar, and mother archetypes. She is connected to Sacred Springs, Healing, and has a shrine in the Lenus Mars temple.
Interview with a Water Priestess - Lilith Dorsey

The White Spring The White Spring
Many people know of the magic of Glastonbury and the magic of the Chalice Well located there, but not as many know that just a few feet away is another sacred water source. It is mysterious, very magical, and very different from the Chalice Well. Hundreds of people come to Glastonbury to marinate in the many magical and healing energies that surround and intersect there. Many come to shop, climb the Tor, and spend hours in the beautiful and quiet gardens of the Chalice Well Trust.

Exploring your Witch Type Exploring your Witch Type
Image from Canva.com I get quite a few questions over on my Instagram account. One that I get quite often is “How do I know what type of Witch (or magical practitioner) I am?” Certainly, this can be a difficult question to answer for many upon the crooked path. Especially, if you are brand-new to Witchcraft or the Magical Community. There is a flood of information on the web, on social media, and at the bookstore. This can lead to confusion and frustration. So where do you start?

Sedona’s Sacred Waters Sedona's Sacred Waters
I woke up a few weeks ago with Sedona’s sacred waters on my mind. You may not know that in my younger years I used to live near Sedona. There is something about that place that always draws me back. Over and over I return to this sacred place to connect with the local Water Spirits. Not surprisingly, as I began working on this blog, I was interviewed by Angie Knight-Reiter on her podcast “Witch & Chill Wednesday”.

Kamala Devi Harris - America’s Water Goddess
Kamala Devi Harris is America’s Water Goddess. She is here to wake us and lead us into re-birth and a new era, one of equality and true love. I woke up the day after Astrological Samhain to find out that Biden and Harris had achieved victory and that Trump’s reign of terror and hate is over. I, like many others, are very excited and deeply understand that this change was needed for us as a country. Still, there is much to lament about.

Ancestor Altar – Image by Annwyn Ancestors of Land, Blood, and Spirit are three types of Ancestral Spirits you can work with this Samhain, or all year long if you wish! While Samhain marks the season when I celebrate and work with them the most. The truth is I honor them at each and every ritual. They are honored throughout the year and they have spaces on multiple altars dedicated to underworld deities and my tradition.

Drinking Magical Waters
Magical Drinking Water – Image by Annwyn Avalon Creating Magical Drinking Water One of the biggest struggles for many of my students is to drink water. It is actually one of the first assignments I give most of my students. Start drinking 8 glasses of water a day! Or at least begin to consciously drink water. We discuss different types of water and how to begin deepening our practice and connected with this element on a daily basis.
Where the Wisteria Wanders
When walking about through the wild parts of Rose Thorn. I spotted a Wisteria that wandered through the blackberry brambles. This twisted and beautiful spirit climbs across fences and up tall trees wandering where it pleases. In the spring, she is ripe with dripping blooms filled with color and a sweet fragrance. She is not only the keeper of secrets here on the land but provides an abundance to those who live in and under her.

I have had the pleasure of connecting with Ness online over the years, often posting in the same groups.
Water Is Not Love
Image by canva.com We really need to talk about ignoring the true nature of water. Water by its nature is a dual element. It is both life and death. It is the giver of life, and the taker of life. It embodies a full spectrum of energies; we see this with the nature of the ocean. Water is constantly full of life, but yet at the crash of a wave will take one. Sacred and Holy, wells also embody this energy.
Slowing Down With The Covid-19 Tide
I was already at a turning point in my life and practice when the Covid-19 quarantine hit. I had decided I would not travel this year, except for Pantheacon. Strangely enough this whole thing started just after I returned home and recovered from the con. I desperately needed a year at home to refill my cup and focus on myself and practice.
How to Collect Dew
Dew, the mysterious morning water that has to power to soak boots and nourish the land. It may be an overlooked type of water, but it has a long history of being used in Folk healing, Magic, and Witchcraft. The dew drops that hang like little diamonds on the spider’s web were thought to be placed there by magic. In Greek mythology it was believed to belong to Ersa, the daughter of Selene and Zeus.
Ways To Connect With Water When You Are Stuck At Home
Ways To Connect With Water When You Are Stuck At Home April 30, 2020 Annwyn Avalon If you are like me, you love the water, but it’s not always easy to visit, especially when you are sick or stuck at home. Being homebound or a landlocked witch on a magical path can be quite difficult. This week I was considering some simple and easy ways to connect with water during times when we can’t quite make it to the water’s edge.
A Solitary Beltane Ritual
Hawthorn and Rose – Image by Annwyn Beltane is a festival of fire and water. Unfortunately, this will be the 2nd Sabbat in a row that I will not be able to gather with my witch family. Like the Spring Equinox, I will be hosting an online ritual for my coven. I will deeply miss the time we get to work magic together. Gathering with other witches to preform our seasonal rites is something that is near and dear to my heart and while I am a Coven Witch, I also have a solitary practice.
