The Nature of Avatars
When goodness grows weak,
When evil increases,
I make myself a body.
In every age I come back
To deliver the holy,
To destroy the sin of the sinner
To establish righteousness
(Bhagavad Gita)

Originally Ariadne was a vegetation goddess in Crete related to the other Cretan goddesses especially to Britomartis. Sometimes Ariadne was associated with the surname “Very Holy Maid,” because her name is a variant of Ariagne from the Greek word àgni, which means “the most holy.” Under this title — àgni — Aphrodite on Delos was honoured.

Holy Graal, Shining Like the Moon.
Many times we are asked “how do you cast a circle ?”
There are so many different was that this can be done. Differs from each Tradition to the next. Even within our own Avaloian Tradition we make improvisations on this. The main factor is to cast a sacred space. A space that separates this world from the other. A space that we ourselves make holy. And that is what is important. A space that you set aside from all else, to glorify and exalt. For you are the one casting, cleansing, purifying, and setting it aside from all else.
