Christina Phillips - [Forbidden 01] - Plot & Excerpts
Such powerful aids to bridge the chasm between mortals and gods were used sparingly, during sacred ceremonies. The results could never be anticipated, and as such no untrained Druid was permitted to use them unsupervised. As a Druid only halfway through her training, Carys knew only too well that without a powerful link back to the earth, she could end up forever lost in the spiritual abyss revealed by the magical properties of the root. But she would be careful. For a start, she wasn’t making the required preparations for a ritual with all the bodily and spiritual cleansing such undertakings required. She intended to swallow only the minutest amount, just enough to open the doorway and allow her access to the upper realms. Smothering the lingering thoughts that persisted telling her she was merely twisting words to suit herself—because of course she wasn’t—she trickled fresh water into the bowl and stirred the contents with her finger. Meditation was all very well but couldn’t guarantee a connection, and she desperately needed a connection with Cerridwen.
