The Authentic – A New Year Resolution Challenge
Ancient Sites

I have a challenge for you. A challenge that will take up the whole of next year. Are you up for it? This blog is based upon our tales of our authentic knowledge. Authentic knowledge is what we might call “first hand” knowledge – information that is obtained through our experience of the world.

Destiny is a strange word, for me it means the goal of ones journey, the destination, if you will. We would never have imagined that our journey over the last few years would have brought us to and through so much. And if that were not enough, if we go back to the beginnings of … Read More “Legend of Kal – 2012 in one post” »

2012 – Summary of the Year by Gwas
Ancient Sites, Yearly Update

My summary of the year could easily take up several posts, but I’m not going to do that. Instead, I’m going to highlight the many important distinct elements that have taken place this year, and then provide links to the posts that illustrate these elements. On the whole it has been an amazingly packed, dense, active year. … Read More “2012 – Summary of the Year by Gwas” »

Mistletoe – poison or cure?

Posted on December 25, 2012September 14, 2026 By Gwas 2 Comments on Mistletoe – poison or cure?
Mistletoe – poison or cure?
Ancient Sites

I was always told that mistletoe berries were poisonous as a child. How does this square with the idea that mistletoe is a general cure-all plant? For example, in ancient times amongst the druidic myths that we have inherited and beyond that we have come to know mistletoes as “All Heal”. “The answer is: it depends on the type … Read More “Mistletoe – poison or cure?” »

Winter Solstice 2012 – The Yule Union

Winter Solstice 2012 – The Yule Union
Ancient Sites, Visions, Wheel of the Year

I’m always at a loss as to what to do for Yule. Not being a sun-aligned person I just don’t get with the whole “welcome in the sun” thing. However, this year I was given the notion that I needed to be more welcoming of the sun, so for the first time I found a … Read More “Winter Solstice 2012 – The Yule Union” »

Gwas: The Son and The Servant

Posted on December 20, 2012September 14, 2026 By Gwas No Comments on Gwas: The Son and The Servant
Gwas: The Son and The Servant
Hedge Druidry

My Hedge Druid name was something that I derived early on in my druid career. If you read our about page you will see that I have always intended “Gwas Myrddyn” to mean “Servant of Merlin“. I do take some liberties with the Merlin name, modifying the final “i” to be a “y”, but to me … Read More “Gwas: The Son and The Servant” »

At this time of the year I am on a “wind down” to the Winter Solstice. Visits to ancient sites are rare, but when an opportunity arises like the full moon and a free evening, well what can a jobbing hedge druid do but heed the call. Actually, the call was pulling at my feet … Read More “Luds Church 2012 – Moonlight meeting with Gawain” »
