Luds Church – Gwas makes a suggestion

Back in the day (early Feb 2011) when I was setting out on my Knight’s Quest. I had learned that an interesting and perhaps conclusions part of the quest would take place at Lud’s Church. A place I have yet to visit. I was at a loss as to how to begin this quest and so turned to my partner in…er…questing for some assistance. My question was simply…

• “So…any ideas of what I can look up re: the knight thing?”

Gwas, as ever filled to the brim with knowledge arcane, responded with a few quick, off the cuff, suggestions…

Lud’s Church is an old pagan site dedicated to the god Lugh, who is the God of Light. No surprises there (sun boy!).

Lugh is the god to whom the festival of Lughnasagh (or Lammas) is dedicated. Therefore, I reckon that the CONCLUSION (the “crowning moment”) of your quest will be at Lud’s Church on Lammas in August

However, before that you will need to have undergone some trials – every knight has to take on a quest. Here are some typical examples:-

• To rescue a maiden
• To slay a dragon
• To find the grail

Thus spake Gwas!

I reflected on these suggestions and as was my want ignored the first, Maiden? What? Unlikely?

As readers of this blog know, “dragon” generally applies to a being that inhabits sacred sites. As far as I could muster there was no reason to slay one. I also noted that in Chinese energy work a Dragon was also known as a Ley line and so Gwas suggested that that might be what it was referring to.

The most famous of knights quest was for the holy grail, which in history and myth has been associated with everything from the Christ birth-line to a cup that grants eternal life. I wondered if this would have any significance in my quest?
