Avalon: the return of the Priestes(ses)

I've spent a lot of time in England over the past few years. It feels like these lands have helped me reconnect to my soul & to reclaim parts of myself; to reclaim the Avalon priestess I am on the inside.

When I talk about Avalon I'm referring to glastonbury & surroundings, and also parts of cornwall. This is where you can clearly feel and sense the energy of Avalon, that is (even though it all looks a little bit different now) still present.

England has many ancient and sacred sites, all of them placed on leylines. Leylines are the energy lines of the earth (there's a lot more to read about that on the internet :)) As the Mary and the Michael ley lines run here, I've found that I could discover, learn and heal a lot around the masculine and masculine within myself. Glastonbury is where these two lines, the Mary (feminine) and the Micheal (masculine) meet, which creates a place of power. This area is also referred to as the heart chakra of the earth.

I've been on many pilgrimages and know now that the energy of these lands, of Avalon and the rest of England, play a big role in my work. Over the past years I've found that I've come back here to pick up the pieces, time to share a little bit about this heart-felt place and my journey.

Unexpected pilgrimage

The first time I ended up in Glastonbury was completely unexpected. I was driving to Cornwall in a camper, but my camper decided to break down really close to Glastonbury, which is why I got 'stuck' there for three days. What a gift that was.

When I first entered I didn't know much about Avalon, except for the one book (Mists of Avalon) that I had read. Reading that book had awakened something in me and I could feel my soul whisper that I'd been there before, in some other life, it felt like the place was calling me to visit again. Glastonbury in general can be a bit 'weird' and overwhelming I find, but in the gardens we can still feel the magic of the land. For me it started right after me going through the gate of the Abbey; I'm not sure if I can describe my experiences in a way that makes any sense to anyone who hasn't encountered something like this.. But I'll try.

As soon as I went through the gate of the Abbey I felt that my body started doing things by itself, and I knew somewhere deep down that I had walked here before. On this exact path. It was as if I could see double: on the one hand I had this sort of past life experience where I could see these walls and stones again, but through the eyes of my souls memories, and on the other hand.. I was still in the 21th century. I saw and smelled a rosemary, and I knew with conviction that I had been working with herbs in this place before. It was as if the rosemary reminded me of who I really was and am.

Remembering

I sat down I put my bare feet on the ground and tried to come back to the present. I've had quite some experiences by now, but can't explain what this felt like, it was the weirdest (and at the same time most amazing!) thing. How many people get to explore the layers of life in such a deep way? It was so funny seeing the people around me chatting and reading the signs, wearing their modern clothes (which I was wearing too, of course), while I felt like I was only there with one foot. My soul was clearly revisiting a life I had before. I was receiving glimpses of the times I'd spend here - being a High priestess in Avalon.

In the hours that followed I had to sit down all the time because my legs were shaking, and my knees were trembling. I'm not exaggerating here - my legs just didn't seem to work anymore. It just didn't necessarily feel like a bad thing - my soul was remembering this place. A place where I'd been really happy. A place where I had been able to live my full potential, to be who I really am, to stand in my power. And after all the ages of suppression, witch burns, patriarchy and condemnation (as well as within and outside myself), well, it was quite something to return 'home'.

Sitting there I felt my whole feminine body releasing, my womb was pulsing, contracting and releasing by finally being in the energies of the High priestesses again - reclaiming the woman that got suppressed and judged by who she was for lifetimes. It doesn't matter in what form she appeared in later or earlier lives: she was the witch, the priestess, the shaman, the wise one, the seeress - and I had to suppress her for many lives in order to protect her from many, many things. Until now, and she felt it. My soul felt it, my body felt it, my womb felt it. I was remembering who I was, and still am.

King Arthur

There's a lot more that happened and was felt in these gardens, but I can't write all of it down here. What I do want to share is what I channeled at King Arthur's tomb. Sitting there I could feel that he was very happy for the priestesses to have returned to help restore the feminine in a world that so badly needs that. What I channeled at that tomb was that I came back to bring the priestess energy into today's world. To restore the feminine. And that many of us reincarnated now, to do the same. I could see how a true woman stands for herself, she doesn't allow anything or anyone outside herself to make her feel small. She doesn't allow anything or anyone to make her doubt her power, her wisdom, her inner eye, her inner knowing. The ages of persecution had to end here, and I had returned to help. And I'm not alone - there's a whole army of Avalons priestesses out there, doing the work, everywhere in the world.

There is a lot more to write about the gardens & the glastonbury Tor, which is where the Mary & Michael (and so the feminine and masculine) ley lines meet. But that's for another blog :)

Also, in this life I've had the honor to meet some of these sisters - at some point you learn to recognize their energy, even if they don't know it themselves. Oh life is wonderful!
