The Priestess

Description

Morgan le Fay

I believe…

Be she fair or fierce, she is the goddess, the queen, the witch, the wild woman, a creature of nature to always be revered or feared.

She is the Priestess, Witch Queen, Morgan le Fay 

I believe…

Below are the words from the poem ‘Morgan le Fay’ which inspired this piece

She led rites in groves of oak;

Where she wore a sacred cloak…

In the halls of power she was feared;

But to the common folk – revered…

King Arthur, at his last request –

His body taken to its rest…

His death-boat fetched and at its helm –

Morgan, with the queens of realm.

And with garlands laid upon

They bore his soul to Avalon.

(excerpt from the book Queens of Avalon)

The rest of the poem and many more old tales and artwork can be found in the Queens of Avalon book.
