I do. To wit, here is a little vid-bit (video + tid-bit) about Morgan le Fay - divine priestess from the middle ages.
Morgan Le Fay
"Introduced in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Vita Merlini, her name (there spelled "Morgen") implies ties to the realm of Fairy. She is also a magical figure as well as a priestess presiding over a sisterhood of nine inhabiting an enchanted isle. She receives the wounded king after the last battle and offers to cure him if he remains long enough.
There are many Celtic traditions evident here, not just of fairy queens ruling magic lands, but of actual sisterhoods of healers and miracle workers recorded in classical literature. Such a group might have been led by a priestess that served as the earthly manifestation of a goddess. Giraldus Cambrensis and other medieval authors were well aware of Morgan's divinity."

I love America, I really do. Equal parts wild and civilized, she can be terribly powerful and yet wonderfully inviting - just like I want to be. Every time I return from a far-off land, as my plane touches down I feel profoundly grateful to be coming home. I know I belong among the big nature and wide-open creative spaces of this country. Here's a 20 second video I shot that reflects my perfectly imperfect feeling of being American in 2008...
