Why I chose the name Lady Guinevere

Lady Guinevere is a character that has been scrutinized for many years. She came to light in the Arthur and Camelot legends. She was always put in a bad light, but never once did anyone see her side of the story. She was married in one story and in other's she was already in love with Lancelot. Those didn't matter to anyone because, as the King, Arthur wanted her and was going to have her as his Queen no matter what. I believe she was a Christian and of royal heritage. She had many trials and tribulations as a Queen would have, but was always being a Queen to her subjects. In the time of Camelot there was peace for many years until Christianity happened upon the scene. The battles that were faught were for each side. Arthur's Sister and Merlin where on the side of Magic and Alchemy and shape shifting and all things that Christianity abhore or think is evil. Guinevere was on teh side of Christianity, but was also there on the side of Arthur and his kin. In the great battle where Arthur was killed by his evil son Mordred, he was taken to the Land of Avalon through the mists. It is said that Avalon was sort of like in another dimension on the same place that The Holy Church was located.

Guinevere sat on the fence between Chrisitanity and the Pagan and Magical world. She couldn't get away from it because of what her husband the King was and had done and who was related too, but her father and her family where Christians, but I don't think that was any mind to what the King wanted. He just wanted Guinevere and he was going tohave her at any cost. So he got her and he live was turned upside down. in the end she is said to have gone into the Holy Church in the Nunnery--in the very same ground that Avalon was said to be and that you could only get there by magic and lifting the mists--or veil into that other world.

I chose her as my alia because I know in my heart that Camelot existeded and so did Arthur and she did too an so did alot of the characters in tht legend. I, too, sit on that fence between Pagan and Christianity. I am also a minister, called by my Christ. I ddn't do it right away but was called several times in a few years time. I belive in magic and Jesus at the same time as I have experienced many things that Christianity says that are wrong and evil and Satanic. I have seen and experienced other worlds and dimensions and things that the Bible just doesn't explain. Although my awakening brought Christ to me. ...And so I am a minister.... to the people to tell the truth behind the control mechanisms that the Church puts upon it's subjects. That is sort of like what how Guinevere's life unfolded to her. She was Christian in the beginning as I was and then on the fence like I am. In the book, "The Mists of Avalon" when Guinevere sees the statue of the Mother Mary, is also looks like the High Priestess. They are one in the same. She is still on that fence between the Christan world and the Pagan and magical world........and so am I. The truth we are seeking is within ourselves and if we just ask we will receive those answers to the questions that we seek. If we need something or want something we must ask and it shall be given--yep just like that--Christ said that and he meant it. I don't go trying to convert anyone because like in my experiences and that of the Lady in the Nunnery when she saw the statue and what is was and is we are all the same. Converting is not what my purpose is-----sharing Christ and the God that is within all of us is. I pull from all the different worlds and the Pagan and the Christian and what is in my heart and my soul and that is what I am supposed to be doing.

Here I am--Lady Guinevere sittng on the fence because neither world is totally correct but are part of each other as is the Magical world and the Christian world. They both share the same things only they don't want to believe it. No matter what one believes about that--it is still true.
