Avalon is from a Celtic word meaning 'apple.' The apple-tree is a Celtic Tree of Life, the upholder of the Worlds above and below, the source of all spiritual sustenance.
In Irish tales, it grows upon an Other-world island and bears the fruit of immortality which emits a heavenly fragrance, able to satisfy all hunger, heal all ills, and yet always remains whole.
Avalon is the Inner Temple of the Celtic and British Mysteries, a landscape of the soul, a country of the heart. It is the land which the poet and mystic see in vision, where the artist and musician find inspiration; where the soul goes for healing and spiritual refreshment: a timeless land of power and mystery that offers initiation and enlightenment to all those that embark upon the inner voyage.
Avalon does not exist in the dimensions of time and space. It lies within the Other-world, a place that the Celts have always taught us exists now and always, nowhere and everywhere, in the ‘thin’ places of the landscape, within the cracks of everyday life. As an archetype, or blueprint, of cosmic order and harmony, it distills the qualities of power, beauty and wisdom, sorely needed in our world today.
my aviary is to me a place of magic and spiritual healing some where to retreat to when the world turns sour their is an order and harmony about it , it is filled with beauty and a peacefulness out of this world where i can engage in a dream and become lost
it is my refuge ,......my tranquility and to have, breed and show birds is my dream .
