Walking the Ancient Path in a Modern World
In the last part of my Imbolc story for this year Julia and I have moved from the Knypersley Reservoir area and we’ve shifted about 10 miles further north to the wonderful remnants of a once massive set of megalithic structures. All that remains now is the barrow and tall stones known as The Bridestones, … Read More “Imbolc 2016 p4 – The Bridestones Light Circuit” »
I suspect that you’re a bit intrigued by the title? Well, it was an intriguing day down in the South West. I was at Belas Knap long barrow with a friend and I was enjoying the sunshine. I had absorbed as much of the sun as possible, and done a ritual to retain it. Now I was ready … Read More “Samhain 2015 p2 – Saint Germain and Saint George” »
Samhain 2015 was spent at Belas Knap near to Winchcombe in Gloucestershire.

Kilmartin Museum was excellent. Lots to see and very interesting for us as well, which is not often the case. I particularly like their outdoor exhibit demonstrating the alignment of the nearby megaliths with the sun’s position. A quirky little pedestal which I’m sure many will have overlooked. We decided we had enough time to … Read More “Lammas 2015 p8 – The Pink Knight and the Black Chamber” »
We had passed a tall standing stone – The Kintraw Standing Stone – on the way to the hotel, and had said that it would be nice to visit it at sunset. So it was that we arrived at the stone just as the sun was sinking behind the dark hills. I wasn’t feeling this … Read More “Lammas 2015 p5 – Kintraw and The Undine Pact” »
