Regular
visitors to Avalonia will notice that there has
been a complete redesign and whilst there is plenty
of new resources, there is also some material which
used to be here which is no longer - see
Avalonia Archives for some of these.
After more than 10 years we felt it was time to
refocus this website slightly as some of the material
no longer reflected our own practices, or in some
instances they were just completely out of date
or we have since then come to different opinions
as a result of the research we have been doing,
both together and independently, or with others.
Whilst this is the new format, we would like to
visit on a regular basis as we will be adding more
content to the site on an ongoing basis. Likewise,
check out the links provided under 'Web of Becoming'
(left menu) for other websites related to this one
where you may find some of the material which used
to form a part of this site.
New articles have been added to the Wiccan Tradition,
Magick in Theory, Magick in Practice and Gods &
Goddesses sections - with more to follow in the
coming months.
The
Book Reviews (incuding the archived reviews from
2002-2004) have now been moved to its own website
- the Avalonia
Esoteric Book Review. On this new site a number
of reviewers, all with experience of the art magickal
and all with their own unique perspectives, likes
and dislikes, will continue to add new reviews of
books on a wide variety of metaphysical, occult
and esoteric topics - including Ceremonial Magick,
Divination and Tarot, Paganism, Witchcraft and Wicca,
Spell craft, results magic, magickal fiction, conspiracy,
templar mysteries, freemasonry and historical /
academic works on the ancient world - and pretty
much everything inbetween.
Information
on books published by Avalonia can now be found
on www.avaloniabooks.co.uk
including ordering details. Extracts from some of
these books will be added to the relevant sections
of this website in due course, some of the extracts
which previously were made available here is still
available - such as the Heptagram ritual.
Maybe one of the most significant changes is that
we have decided to close the Avalonia Community
Discussion Forums. This was done for a variety of
reasons, but primarily because Sorita no longer
have the time to dedicate to managing the forums
and the administration that accompanies it. Managing
a forum of its size and popularity takes a great
deal of time, and since becoming parents in December
(2007) and with the success of the Avalonia publishing
company, as well as juggling a number of other commitments,
Sorita is unable to dedicate the time and energy
she was once able to towards keeping the forums
active. For those mourning the loss, please see
Forums to go and explore
for a list of forums facilitated by members who
were active on the Avalonia forums where you may
be able to continue discussions, debate and the
exchange of ideas previously facilitated by the
Avalonia Community Discussion forums.
