Knight errant and ancient wisdom

Modern Druidry, Quests

It was late Thursday evening and I had questions on my mind. The foremost being where to find the answers to the questions posed in this post.

Since I was currently located in the South-West of the UK, my personal preference was for something local-ish. Glastonbury? Avebury, Cornwall site? So I began my dowsing quest by asking whether a suitable site was South, East or North of here (West is the ocean).

I got a good indication for North. I then asked whether the site was one I had visited before? Yes. This was followed by me dowsing all the sites that where North of my position (which is most of the visited sites!) Finally and almost literally, finally. I got to Llangernyw Yew tree and the rods flew inwards. I sighed! I hadn’t planned to go North this coming weekend. But in anticipation of finding some answers, I managed to get out of work slightly early to make the five hour trip to the 4,500 thousand year old Ancient Yew tree.

I arrived at the church around 10.30 and was glad to just sit by the river that runs along the side and take a stretch and a rest. The view of the clear night sky with half moon glowing was, as always a wonder to behold. After some minutes of rest I climbed back up the stairway to go and be with the Yew tree. It is an amazing experience to be in the company of such a peaceful and knowledgeable tree.

Dowsing suggested that lighting some incense would be auspicious and so I lit five sticks and placed them as directed by the rods. Standing amongst them, I asked the questions that had had my mind wandering:

Rosicrucians and Templar:

  • Do I need to research these? No, not yet but I would after I had done some more work
  • Rosicrucians or/and Templars? Neither, at the moment see above
  • Do I need to visit some of their sites in Cornwall? Yes, and the first of these should be Temple

 

 

Green Knight myth:

  • Was it just a pointer to Luds church? Yes, but there is more
  • Do I need to create and go on a pilgrimage following his path? Yes
  • When and through what sites? You will be given a sign

 

 

Holy Grail:

  • Is there a relationship between this and the phoenix? Yes – transformation
  • And my book? Yes it represents your personal quest
  • How can I believe this answer? How can you believe you’re talking to a tree?

 

 

Wand:

  • Do I have to make this? Yes you should have done so already
  • By when? Learn now!
  • What to use? Start the journey and you will know

As always the Yew didn’t disappoint with its answers. I quite liked the chide in that “you are talking to a tree” quite amusing.

I also got a curious piece of knowledge…”Someone is coming to challenge you?” Me? No. Gwas!…interesting…and also this… “Destiny is not how the world sees you, but is how you see the world”
