Before the circle is cast, the sacred path is walked.Join us at 12noon on Saturday at the Red Lion for the God and Goddess Walk—a ceremonial procession honouring the Divine Masculine and Feminine as they walk separate, meaningful paths toward a shared sacred purpose.
This ritual precedes the Alban Elfed Gorsedd
The Path of the Goddess
The Goddess party—those walking in honour of the Divine Feminine—will leave the Red Lion and proceed down the High Street. They will enter the SW quadrant through the gateway, walking widdershins (counter-clockwise) around the quadrant, then cross the road to reach the southern entrance, where they will gather at the base of the bank.
☀️ The Path of the God
The God party—those walking in honour of the Divine Masculine—will depart the Red Lion and head up Green Street to the beech trees, ascending the top of the bank. From there, they walk clockwise along the top of the earthwork to the southernmost point, directly above where the Goddess party waits below.
🌕 The Meeting and the Challenge
When the Goddess party arrives at the base of the bank, the Maiden is throned—a symbolic gesture of offering and invitation. The men descend and issue a ceremonial challenge to enter the circle. Upon its acceptance, blessings are exchanged, a ritual archway is formed, and the tribe processes together in unity into the circle where an Awen Blessing will be shared.
Who May Walk?
Everyone. You don’t need robes or rank—just respect. Choose the path that calls to you, walk with honour, and bring your spirit into balance with the land and with each other.
Why Walk?
Because Alban Elfed is a time of balance and Harvest, its also a time when the darkness starts to return and we look to each other for the strength to get through the darkness that is to come.
Because separate paths, walked with purpose, can lead to sacred unity.
Because the stones remember, and we are part of their story.
Meeting Point: The Red Lion, Avebury
Time: Midday sharp (please arrive a little early)
All are welcome – all orders and none, all tribes and none
Walk with intention. Meet with reverence. Enter as kin.
Blessed Alban Elfed. Blessed Be.
After the blessing all are welcome to relax and wait for the Gorsedd with us in the circle. There is a Ladies Circle at 1pm in the Moon Cove.
