2023-5-19 – Ravenskeep

It was the winter of 2018 when my footsteps last moved through these realms, as i’d traveled alongside Joshua through the trials and treasures of the Quest. Now as then we had traveled to Wynden Keep, to the home of clan Wynden and their bastion of sanctuary and song.

They had moved on since then, the home they had lived and loved in exchanged for one even deeper in the forest, flush in a sacred seclusion of sun and creek water emblematic of the world within the wood that was their manifest reality. To come to the keep for a third time had it’s own mystic significance, for just as they had moved into a more radiant version of their story so was I, bringing the Gift of the Mythica and the solace of story to their doorstep.

It is a surreal experience, to say the least, for I am not the knight-errant I was when I set out, nor the nascent teacher I was to Joshua. As I drive the northern pass t….hrough the western forests of the Americas, I feel myself in a new shape – that of a King returning with the Treasure in my hands, walking the line of my mythos and mystery towards an unfolding horizon.

Reaching Ravenskeep –

Awakening in the new keep is heaven filled with the resounding energies of faerie and the bardic. I feel the magics, the connection and kinship with Jesse & Raven, the echo of Adrienne’s movement through the space, the radiance of the memories and embodiment of the avatars of avalon themselves.

In the underlands, it feels like a movement deeper into the bosom of the Goddess, into the realms of Yin, te places where the water bubbles her voice and I am still enough to listen. In this I feel how far I have traveled from the Forest. How deep i’ve gone into the computers and the ethers, wishing to return to the deeper embodiment, the places of music and majesty and a settledness into the world – balancing out the vastness of Air, Fire & Space that has defined my journey so far.

It feels an initiation. A reminder from the Goddess that I making the homeward trek, back from the cliffs of clarity into the places of recognition & rejuvenation.
