description: It is a world of omens and augury... sea wraiths and Sunken Lands... ritual and sacrifice. It is a lifelong honor to serve as one of the Gallizenae the nine priestesses of Enez Sun - the Holy Island and temple to the Great Goddess Ker. The Nine have pledged their lives in service to the Goddess and Her people but in this time of great need the gentle healer Rozenn Vellda fears she will not be able to do that which her vow may require of her...  This short story which examines the nature of sacred duty ritual terror and ageless wisdom allows us to peer through the mist-enshrouded veil that separates history from legend in order to catch a glimpse of the lives of the Celtic priestesses of Enez Sun the Ninefold Sisterhood known to us as the Gallizenae. Written by Jhenah Telyndru Celticist and founder of the Sisterhood of Avalon the tale is accompanied by a short essay which discusses the Islands of Women known to us from the myths and legends of the Celts as well as the accounts of Classical historians Strabo and Pomponius Mela whose writings are the inspiration for The Gallizenae: A Tale of the Ninefold.
