Avalon is associated with Glastonbury Tor, which some legends say was once a magic island surrounded by water. Morgan is one of the three queens that takes King Arthur’s body to Avalon to heal. As a witch and healer, she is said to know the power of both healing and poisonous herbs. In Avalon, She presided over nine priestess’s who were prophetesses and healers. Avalon is known to have been an oracular center. Some believe that Avalon was a Druidic college for priestesses of women’s mysteries. Certain healing wells are also sacred to Her in Britain - known as Morgan’s

I have written many rituals for Morgan. She has so many different aspects that no one ritual could do Her justice, and She constantly inspires me to write more and more about Her. Here are some that I have written. I have many more rituals (and stories) “in progress”.
Samhain (Oct. 31) or Morgan’s Feast Day (Nov. 1) Preparation:
The perfect site for a Morgan ritual is the sea, a lake, a stream, a river, or a sacred grove of trees of meadow. If indoors, keep either fresh or sea water on the altar. You will need a scythe, cauldron, bones and skulls, black and white chalices, sloe gin and apple juice.
The High Priestess should wear black or dark robes, with a bit of red. Her jewelry should be dark. A raven motif is always welcome. There are many wonderful raven designs in clothing and jewelry among Celtic and Native American craftspeople. A dark moon face or raven mask would be perfect.
The High Priest may be robed in wizard’s robes, such as Merlin might wear.
The Circle is drawn in Air, Water, Fire and …show more content…
She is also a Sea Goddess and Her island can be found at the end of the silver path the Moon casts upon the Western Sea. As the Lade of the Lake, any working near a lake can invoke Her presence. As Washer at the Ford, She can be found at rivers as well. This is a good time to ask for water magic - love, dreams, youth, healing and prosperity. Use your Cup or Cauldron, filled with water, in your ritual tonight. Dedicate nine apples to Her and set them adrift in a body of water. Meditate on traveling the silver moon path to the Fortunate Isles and ask Her blessing. Dance near water. Swim. Visit a well and dedicate it to Her for the night. If you have a sword and scabbard dedicated to Her, tonight you work with the healing scabbard. If you have a clear quartz ball, tonight She will reveal Herself to you within the crystal.
Waning Moon
Morrigan is a Warrior Goddess, a battle raven, a banshee, and Washer of Shrouds. This is a good time to ask Her for courage, fortitude, and strength in your battles, and for protection against adversaries. She can be invoked in banishing, binding, and cursing rituals. Use fire to invoke Her during this period. Remember - She armed and trained warriors in Ireland, and in some legends, forged Excalibur to defend Britain. Tonight use Her sword, or a blackthorn or yew wand to call Her.
