XIV The Fferyllt

We now find ourselves in the company of the Fferyllt, the healing druid.



She stands before her cauldron, carefully pouring liquid from one vial into another.  The white and the red substances mix together to create gold, the Alchemist's dream.

From the rafters above her hang the healing herbs and tools of her trade.

Through the doorway we can see over the water towards the Tor of Glastonbury and its rainbow - Glastonbury Tor is shrouded in myth and legend and is said to overlook the Isle of Avalon - is this where the Fferyllt is working?

Our healer is also the powerful goddess Brighid,  patron of medicine, poetry and high craftsmanship.

Turning base metals into gold isn't really what it's all about, is it?  The Fferyllt asks us to blend together those different elements of ourselves to create the REAL Alchemist's goal: a strong and unified whole.  It's time to unpack those parts of yourself that you find difficult to accept or trust and work towards accepting them as part of your glorious, complicated nature!

Bridhid asks:

What parts of yourself are you unwilling to own?
Will you accept any paradoxes within you
Where can you help opposing factions work together?
