Walking the Ancient Path in a Modern World
In the final post from Brittany I reveal how working with Faery can seem like a double-edged sword. Kal has already spoken about his double-dealings, and has set the scene. I too have once been in this forest and was tracked by a mischievous sprite who attached himself to me making me disorientated and leading … Read More “Beltane 2014 p11 – Faeries and a Golden Dragon” »
In previous posts I have mentioned that I have a Faery Taint. Don’t ask what it is, I don’t know. But on our trip to Brittany I have bumped into more Fay than in all my years of experience put together. Why this is, I have yet to discover. Certainly this part of the world … Read More “Wood of the Fay Beltane 2014 – 17” »
I am convinced without a shadow of a doubt that Brittany is a land of the Fay.

As I walked deeper into the woods (Gwas had vanished on some quest … Read More “Courage and the Golden Key Beltane 2014 – 16” »
I had just spent a few minutes with a Giant (see previous post) and was about ready to move on when I spotted a lady walking by. I called out a hello and she responded with a smile (and then I realised I was in France! Doh!) I walked back towards the Tomb (of Vivienne) … Read More “Sidhe set a Trap Beltane 2014 – 15” »

The clouds are still a dull grey colour, but by now sunlight is beginning to pierce through the cloud cover, sending light scurrying through the … Read More “10 Beltane 2014 – Lair of the Land Giant” »
The wood that we were walking through had a magical feel to it. Not the same as what you get in the Wizards wood (Alderley Edge) but a definite sense of something present. Gwas and I journeyed through the wood and up a small hill to where the Tomb of Vivienne was located. I dowsed if … Read More “Vivienne and the Giant Beltane 2014 – 14” »
After a couple of unremarkable sites on the Locmaraquier peninsula, we were heading towards our final destination for this Brittany outing – Broceliande Forest. Broceliande has a reputation for being an ancient forest with strong claims to an Arthurian tradition. Certainly this is how the French Tourist Agency are marketing the space. For me, when I visited … Read More “Beltane 2014 p9 – Return to the Giants Tomb” »
