I haven’t had a reason to go to Pendle Hill until recently. For some reason I picked up a second-hand book on it from a charity shop and it triggered memories of when I used to live nearby. I was only a small boy then, and had no means to get to the hill on … Read More “Pendle Hill: Witches, Hexes and Hexagons” »

Modern Druidry

Auras Splattered throughout this blog is the word aura, in this post I am going to have a go at collating our experiences of this phenomena in the hope that I can peg it down – or at least corral the darned thing!

One of the sources that doesn’t involve disembowelment and which would therefore be considered to be relatively acceptable to the modern druid is bird augury – acquiring knowledge … Read More “A personal augury system” »
