The Coracle Live: Books, Bards, and Ballads with Suzanne O'Gara - April 8, 2022 (Opening Snippet)

Suzanne O’Gara, owner of Alchemy of Avalon LLC, has been a member of the Sisterhood of Avalon since 2017.  She is a Certified Herbalist, having studied under Joann Sanchez at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts in Tempe, AZ, from which she graduated in early 2011.  At Samhain in 2012, Suzanne launched her tea shop online, and after many years of dreaming, working, and planning, opened Alchemy of Avalon as a brick and mortar shop in Greenfield, MA in August of 2021. When not running her shop, Suzanne can be found dreaming about running away to Glastonbury, Ireland, and just about any ancient sacred sites. A Priestess, Witch, and devotee of Morgan LeFay, Suzanne practices her Craft both alone and with her husband, Sean, and her two children, Sebastian and Selene. Since autumn of 2018, she has also served as the Herbcraft Professor for Rockstar Priestess’ 11-month online course, “Morgan LeFay Mystery School”, under the direction of Demelza Fox.  Suzanne also teaches her own class series in Herbalism, “Herbs of Avalon: Morgana’s Materia Medica”, and also runs in-person classes and events at her shop as well – see www.alchemyofavalontea.com for more info!

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.
