Initiation at Evening
Today was the initiation of the new priestesses in the Temple at Glastonbury. After three years of study and preparation, they were ready to make their vows to the Goddess. Her gentle evening sunshine filled Avalon and warmed the courtyard as Her new devotees declared their service to Her.
Walking home along a Devon road afterwards, priestess trainer Ren Chapman was carrying not only her luggage from the weekend in Glastonbury, but also a huge and beautiful bouquet of flowers, a gift from the students to thank her for her care and wisdom.
Ren lives out in the country, and the beauty of the golden evening and the wide spaciousness of the sky took her breath away. Her heart full, she paused by the river and picked out the loveliest flower in her bouquet. Domnu, Goddess of the Waters, this is for you, she thought. She let the flower drop onto the flowing water and watched it drift away.

Heyho!
At first - the new Design looks amazing! Since my visit in Glastonbury I love this colour and because of my lavendar candle from the temple, my room had to be painted lavender! :)
If I imagine that priestess trainings are possible for becoming a priestess of Avalon my desire to come back to Glastonbury grows higher and higher. I hope that I'm someday able to start such a training...
