The Coracle Live: Books, Bards, and Ballads with Erin Aurelia - September 30, 2022 (Opening Snippet)

Erin Aurelia is the author of The Torch of Brighid: Flametending for Transformation, to be published in 2023 by Moon Books, in which she shares how flametending for the Irish goddess Brighid, when combined with ogham work, becomes a transformative daily practice that facilitates creativity, emotional healing, and spiritual growth. She has been flametending for Brighid for 20 years, and created and managed the Daughters of Brighid flametending order for eight of them. She is also known in the community of Brighidine flametenders and devotees for her annual Imbolc Advent and Celebration blog series, which is now featured in her upcoming book. She can be found and followed on Facebook at www.facebook.com/authorerinaurelia.

Additionally, Erin is the owner of Sunshine Editorial Services & Book Coaching, where she helps creative nonfiction writers who want to be changemakers write their best books. Her business is found online at www.sunshineditorialservices.com. She is also a poet who has composed three poetry collections to date: Bone & Stars, Love Conspiracy, and Feral. Erin lives with her grown son and more books than she may actually read in this lifetime in Vancouver, Washington, where she is known in its open mic community for her powerful poetry and dynamic spoken word performances with local musicians.

The Coracle

Ongoing Online Programming Presented by the Sisterhood of Avalon
Inspired by Celtic Traditions and Rooted in Wise Women’s Ways

In Welsh tradition, the Goddess Ceridwen, from whose cauldron the Awen arises, birthed a babe whose brow was aflame with wisdom’s illumination. As Gwion, he stole the precious drops of her brew meant for another. As the reborn Taliesin, she swaddled him tightly, and set him afloat in a coracle - a small rounded vessel woven from branches and covered in leather. Discovered in a salmon weir, and raised by a Welsh prince, the boy grew to become the greatest bard ever to dwell on the Island of the Mighty.

As a reflection of this mythic process through which we seek wisdom and divine inspiration, the Sisterhood of Avalon has created The Coracle, a vessel that moves across the waters, bearing knowledge and sharing Awen. We invite you to join us on a continuing journey of online learning, offered by priestesses of our tradition and our invited guests.
