PROLOGUE

Every magical story has a prologue and your journey as a Sacred Celebrant is your own story about to unfold into the most amazing experience. No one can tell you what this is, you have to experience it for yourself.

Your journey on the path of the Sacred Celebrant begins as soon as you enter the beautiful county of Somerset to meet with us all at the gathering place on the Isle of Avalon.. .

After checking into your B&B or hotel we shall all come together to enjoy a delicious meal prepared and cooked for you by expert Chefs (paid for by SCA).
