The Bard of Avalon - Pilgrim: Pilgrimage to the Enchanted Forest Cathedral

The Bard of Avalon
Pilgrimage to the Enchanted Forest Cathedral

Amidst rolling countryside, the Enchanted Forest stands encircled by blackthorn and briar. Green lanes pass close by, but to enter the Forest an animal track must be followed. An invisible guide shows us the way, as it showed the creatures who passed this way before us.

The ground wears a cloak of ivy, the trees grow straight and tall. Shafts of sunlight pierce their canopy, to create the shadow aisles and walls of the Forest Cathedral.

The silver trunks of slender trees unite to frame the tall windows where the outer forest may be seen magnified and illuminated.

The birdsong chorus echoes the sustained hum of the bees' drone, as the bass note of the unseen bell tolls.

All is at peace, all is at one.
