Deepen in Devotion as You Step Further into the Temple of the One Heart.
To What are You Devoted?
The 13 Knots on the Priestess belt symbolize the qualities and skills that can be used in service to love in devotion.
As Ariel has scribed below, the thirteen knots of the Priest/ess belts signified each of the 13 years of Priest/ess training in Avalon.
