In the beginning, I planned to sail this book toward Brittany and track down Morgana le Fay, even peering through her witch-mists to the peculiar heart of Atlantis, where I thought she might be lurking. I was determined to summon, stir and call her up. In the event, at the very start of my literary voyage I was boarded by a very real Celtic Christian named Moluag, and was driven by strange inner currents toward an island in the Hebrides that wouldn't let me go. The original title of this book was to be Raasay - an Inner Route to Everywhere. Somehow, I touched on that island as a living entity rather than just the barren lump of rock and soil, as I had assumed it was. Raasay and Moluag, with the unlikely help of William Wordsworth, have taught me that we can all make voyages that are tied in with the fertile magick of the Earth, its Seas, and our own daily experience. It was written as I went along, never seeing beyond the horizon as to what the next paragraph would reveal. As such it's more a casual journal and an inner travelogue than an attempt at a text-book. It also includes FPD's superb manual of self-initiation into the Faery Realms that was written in the late 1930s when the old mage was at the height of his considerable powers and was Dion Fortune's very own Moon Priest. The Sea Priest, I hope, offers help in navigating your own inner voyages. It is as much a set of simple inner techniques that we can ALL adapt and make use of, as it is about a historical person and geographical destination.
