Nimue of the Sacred Springs

Description

She is…

Guardian of the depths, gatherer of treasure, and keeper of secret magicks. 

She is a child of the fens, she is a water nymph, she is Morgan of the waters, she is lady of the lake, Nimue

she is…..

Nimue of the sacred springs.

Below are the words from the poem ‘Nimue’ which inspired this piece

Nimue, fairy of the lake –

Graced the spring and holy well…

Like a swan she laid her head,

Hid by branches of the willow…

In the shade she often knelt

To watch the banded dragonfly…

She spoke whispers to the wind;

The wind that blew to fairyland…

Nimue was a fairy Queen

That held a magic of her own…

(excerpt from the book Queens of Avalon)
