Walking the Ancient Path in a Modern World
The third elemental angel was found at the end of one of the muddiest walks I have ever done. I think there was barely a moment on the walk when Kal wasn’t complaining – but that’s what you get if you wear inappropriate clothing. This is Cumbria!! We parked at Long Meg stone circle, just … Read More “Spring Equinox 2014 p4 – The Earth and Fire Angels” »

It felt like ages since we had been there, so I jumped at the chance given that it was probably going to be a sunny … Read More “Nine Stones 2013 – Dragons Lines and Banquets” »

Hey – where have I been? Well, to Budapest, then back for Beltane, then off to Barcelona. I’ve been a busy bee! It’s all go at this time of year! Normal service is now resumed, and no neonicotinoids were ingested along the way. For Beltane this year I decided to go over to the very … Read More “Beltane 2013 p1 – Hermits and Hermitages” »
Meeting the Oracle Now I sound like an excerpt from The Matrix films. In this second part of the Delphi experience I will tell you about my meeting with the spirit of The Oracle. If you remember my first part I had just emerged from a water sluice, which was fortunately dry, and it had … Read More “Delphi 2013 p2 – Pythia’s Prophecy” »
