Transformation Chambers: Winter research 2008

Transformation Chambers: Winter research 2008
Bookshelf, Quickie

In August of 2008 Kal and I visited several sou-terrains (chambers constructed by the placement of supporting stones and a large capstone, often beneath alternating layers of clay and earth). At each site we visited we asked the dowsing rods whether the purpose of the site was the burial of the dead. Our responses led … Read More “Transformation Chambers: Winter research 2008” »

Manifestations 4: Receiving loud and clear

Posted on December 27, 2008September 24, 2026 By Gwas 1 Comment on Manifestations 4: Receiving loud and clear
Manifestations 4: Receiving loud and clear
Dowsing, Experiment

On Christmas Day I dowsed for a patterns that Kal had texted and said he’d sent. He didn’t tell me anything other than the fact that something had been sent by him. I got no information about the content : which of the eight pre-defined shapes we had chosen to experiment with (see Manfestations 3 … Read More “Manifestations 4: Receiving loud and clear” »

Nine Ladies 2008 – Petroglyphs and Maps
Bookshelf, Dowsing, Other reports

I have recently been reading the quite excellent and incredible revealing book by David Cowan and Anne Silk called “Ancient Energies of the Earth” (1999). Although I have only ventured a few chapters into the book so far I have been having to make notes as I go along due to the massive amount of … Read More “Nine Ladies 2008 – Petroglyphs and Maps” »

Carousing at MidWinter

Posted on December 23, 2008October 23, 2026 By Gwas No Comments on Carousing at MidWinter
Carousing at MidWinter
Other reports

I read in Glennie Kindred‘s “Sacred Celebrations” book that MidWinter Solstice was a good time to be around people you love, enjoying their company, and staying up as late as possible. Well, in that case I can happily report that thanks to the joyful Celtic drinking songs of The Family Mahone, that’s exactly what we … Read More “Carousing at MidWinter” »

Nursery Rhymes: how to hide a secret

Nursery Rhymes: how to hide a secret
Devas and Nature Spirits, Faery, Quickie, Spirits

There are many ways to hide a secret, but one old adage that keeps re-appearing in my research into life’s mysteries is this: If you want to hide a secret, put it where everyone can see it. Such is the way with the knowledge passed down through nursery rhymes. We all know about the bubonic … Read More “Nursery Rhymes: how to hide a secret” »

Manifestations 3: Remote sending and receiving
Dowsing, Modern Druidry

It’s all been a bit quiet, hasn’t it? What have we been up to? You know we never sleep where dowsing and druidry are concerned, so what have we been doing if not visiting ancient sites? You might well ask. A few days before the Winter Solstice we are involved in an experiment to see … Read More “Manifestations 3: Remote sending and receiving” »

The Druid’s Circle 2008 – Weather control
Ancient Sites, Dowsing, Modern Druidry

23rd November 2008 This may be the last site visit report of 2008, and probably the most startling to date. If I had been listening to my sensible side I would never have obeyed the urge to go climbing up the very steep hills around Penmaenmawr in late November on what must have been the … Read More “The Druid’s Circle 2008 – Weather control” »
