Walking the Ancient Path in a Modern World
August 22nd 2013 – Mitchell’s Fold stone circle, Shropshire. My quest had been given to me to “seek the stag” and afterwards to “raise the horns of power” when I asked the question at Froggatt Edge. Weeks later at Mitchell’s Fold I wanted to learn more about what that would entail. Luckily we had picked … Read More “Seeking the Stag on a Blue Moon” »

The circle (also known as Stoke Flat) stands upon the imposing cliffs of Froggatt Edge. The walk up is delightful through the birch and oak trees, with the sunlight … Read More “Froggatt Edge 2013 – Circle of Horny Power” »

So, it was with mixed emotions that we drove up the rutted narrow track … Read More “Summer Solstice 2013 p9 – The Arthurian Cross Gets Crosser” »
Still the first day of our Summer Solstice outing in Cornwall. Dragging on a bit, isn’t it? Well, there are a lot of places to see in that area, and we had all day to see them in. Long warm days full of sunshine make us go a little bit crazy. However, this was our … Read More “Summer Solstice 2013 p7 – A Maiden’s Tale of Attachment” »
The next sacred stop on our pilgrimage was the Merry Maidens. I say the next, but in reality we do stop off at other sites too. But herein I describe only the ones where pertinent work occurred. If you pop over and see some of Gwas’s posts, you may discover some extra sites that were … Read More “Solstice 2013 p5 The Next Question at the Merry Maidens” »
