It was early Saturday (22 Jan 2011) morning when I arrived at Buckfast Abbey. The morning was turning out to be nice and warm for this time of the year although the sun was having difficulty getting out of the clouds. As I walked about the grounds of the abbey (it has several little gardens … Read More “Buckfast Abbey and attending Mass” »

Map dowsing of a sort
Dowsing, Experiment, Gwalchmai or Gawain, How To, Modern Druidry

The nights are still closing in early as we are literally in the middle of the winter if we take winter as Dec – Jan – Feb months, eugh! So I was playing around with some old-fashioned dowsing with a pendulum last night. As a previous post suggests I am becoming interested in Knighthood and … Read More “Map dowsing of a sort” »

Opposition grows to woodland sell-off

Posted on January 27, 2011September 25, 2026 By Gwas 9 Comments on Opposition grows to woodland sell-off
Opposition grows to woodland sell-off
News article

Things are heating up with the UK woodland sell-off debate. Actually, there is no debate. At least three-quarters of those surveyed did not want this legislation to go ahead. I think this is quite heartening – there is an obvious wave of objection to the idea of putting our woodland areas into the hands of … Read More “Opposition grows to woodland sell-off” »

Energy exchange, a dangerous game

Edge Wizardry, Experiment, Ghosts and shades, Shades and Death Energies

I think that this was my first ever conscious experience with what we now (Winter 2010) call Energetic Shrouds. Inevitably it was in the company and guidance of that majestic The Ancient Yew that this experience or lesson unfolded. Gwas and I had arrived at the church late one evening and as usual I wandered … Read More “Energy exchange, a dangerous game” »

The Old Moon – January 2011
Celestial

The Old Moon – the name for the first full moon of the year – occurred on the 19th January. As a moon-aligned person (Do you know if you are moon or sul aligned? Why not go check using dowsing rods?) I always take the opportunity to bathe myself in the energies that the Moon … Read More “The Old Moon – January 2011” »

Orbs – just can’t dismiss them
Orbs

I once thought I caught a phenomenon commonly called an “Orb” in a photograph I took in 2010 at the West Kennett Long Barrow in Wiltshire. I had been inside doing some meditation. When I finished I went around each chamber taking pictures for the blog. Later, when I looked at the chamber in the photograph … Read More “Orbs – just can’t dismiss them” »
