Will you answer the Call?

When the psychic pain of an old soul is ready to be released, that pain may cry out to us through trauma or dis-ease, begging to be healed, loved, and liberated. But at the age of thirty-six, diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, Annah Taylor Phinny didn’t know that. All she knew was that she was embarking on two journeys at once—a physical journey through modern medicine’s chemotherapy and a spiritual journey through training as a Priestess of Avalon.

Cyclical, layered, and multidimensional, Lady of the Lake, Rise is as vivid and intimate as the process of healing itself. As her life unfolds in eerie parallels with Inanna’s mythic descent into the underworld, Taylor must pass through seven gates of profound loss and bare her soul to the void, only to be born anew—reclaiming the seven gifts of a sacred birthright that only her soul remembered.

Taylor Phinny's journey through breast cancer at thirty-six and the wisdom she amassed is equal parts riveting and instructive. Lady of the Lake, Rise is a beautiful treatise on transforming our pain and finding the path to healing.

Annah Taylor Phinny is a spiritual healer and formally trained Priestess of Avalon, an ancient Goddess tradition based in Glastonbury, England. During her teens, her intuitive nature led to nightly readings for her classmates, which in turn led to accusations of witchcraft, expulsion, and medication that suppressed her gifts for many years.

Today, Annah Taylor has completed a master’s program in spiritual psychology and lives in service to the divine feminine in all beings, connecting others with their wild and ancient selves. During her transformational journey, Taylor experienced a rebirth, emerging with the name Annah. She is the founder of Avalon Calling, offering pilgrimages to the sacred sites of the British Isles as well as personal and group priestess sessions. To connect with Annah, visit AvalonCalling.co.
