Reclaiming Rhiannon

Saturday, February 17 at 9:00 AM– 10:30 AM in PST
Pine Conference Room
Rhiannon of Wales is a beloved Goddess with many modern devotees, even though the lore never identifies her as a divinity. Together, we will engage in some mythic archaeology and trace her divine lineage through history in order to explore the truth of Rhiannon’s nature. We will then journey to connect with Rhiannon herself, in order to deepen or initiate a relationship with the Divine Queen of the Celtic Britons.

 

The Nine Keys of Community

Saturday, February 18 at 1:30 – 3:00 PM in PST
San Jose/Santa Clara Conference Room

 

Using the Island of Avalon as an allegory for a spiritually centered and healthily functioning community, we will utilize the Celtic Ninefold energetic to guide us in how to create thriving and enduring groups of all kinds and sizes that are founded on principals of mutual respect, self-sufficiency, collective interdependency, and interpersonal balance. We will also reflect this Ninefold model within the self, applying its principles to help us function cooperatively from a place of greater wholeness and clarity.

The Sisterhood of Avalon is honored to present a community ritual at PantheaCon for the first time this year.

The Rites of Annwn: Seeking the Nine Maidens

Saturday, February 18 at 9:00 – 10:30 PM in PST
San Juan/ San Carlos Conference Room

Deep in the Welsh Otherworld, the Cauldron of Annwn is warmed by the breath of Nine Maidens. Distilling the brew that offers Wisdom, Transformation and Inspiration, it is one of the Thirteen Treasures of Britain and the Celtic British precursor to the Holy Grail. Are you called to the Quest? Do you feel the Maidens’ breath? If so, come journey with priestesses of the Avalonian Tradition into the personal Otherworld and the presence of the Nine Maidens to seek the Inner Cauldron and drink deeply from the wellspring of inspiration — the source of the Awen within you. Everyone is welcome!
