Samhain Pilgrimage 3: Avebury and the Bells

It was early Sunday morning as Julie and I set off on the hours drive from our hotel to Avebury. Of course I have visited this amazing site on many occasions and had some beautiful experiences there. So I went with high hopes of the same again. I suspect that Avebury is difficult for dowsers because it is just huge. How are you supposed to get a sense of it? Where do you start? With a question.

  • Is there anything I can do for this sacred place?

It is a good question to start with I feel and one that got a “No” response from the dowsing rods. Brilliant. Onto the second question.

  • Is there anything I can learn at this place today?

If not for it, then for me, right? The rods responded with a “Yes”. Excellent. Now then, before rushing off into what, where and why. It is a good idea to prepare in some fashion. After all you don’t visit special friends with muck and crap on your person, do you?

  • Take me to a place I can cleanse and prepare my personal energies…

And off the rods took me. Quite far actually, right round to the other end of the site and to a stone that had a bit of sitting place on it. I squeezed into the place and allowed my energy to settle into a balanced vibration. Once I felt ready, I was up and off to gain the gift that this ancient place had to offer.

  • Take me to a place I can learn something of value…

Again, I was sent almost back to where I had started. I stood between two huge gateway stones. They are the biggest at Avebury I think. Here I let the silence of the early morning rise within me and it was mingled with the sound of bells from some distant church. What was there here for me, my thoughts asked. As my mind cleared a question arose from within me:

“What is seeking you?”

I was surprised and filled with gratitude. What an unexpected gift. Another question from the Dragons Soul Book. How many did that make I wondered? Were the nine now complete?

I pondered these questions before pondering the actual question itself. What is seeking me? Was there anything seeking me? A puzzle within a puzzle.

As I mused on this I went looking for my dear friend Julie. It was time for breakfast.

Kal Malik – being sought.
