This story is from some time in 2017, but I don’t remember when that was. It is way back in the mists surrounding that quiet period after Kal’s death where I was struggling to recover – physically, mentally and spiritually. However, re-reading this old post which had sat there for years unattended, I realised there … Read More “Sherwood Forest 2017 – Lifesong of Nature and The Five Trees” »

Occasionally I am sent away. Relocated. Shoved to the furthest edges of the world through the medium of what is known socially as “Work”. Whilst I consider it an honour to be offered the opportunity to travel so far, occasionally I am left spiritually bereft by the choice of location. When I heard that I … Read More “Maiden of Austin 2017” »

In the second tale from my Surrey wanderings I was headed for Cockrow Bell Barrow [link]. This was at the very edge of Ockham Common, close to the junction of the M25 and A3. The air was clear and still. The coolness of the autumn morning was being tinged with a surprisingly warm sun, and the temperature … Read More “Surrey 2016 p2 – Cockrow Bell Barrow and The Deerhunter” »

I was at Alderley Edge in the Wizard’s Wood. Kal was with me – it had been his idea (I think). The heat of the evening air was regulated by a smooth cooling breeze that was sufficient to lift your hair and cool the brow. The trees were playing a melody of different rustling noises in … Read More “Song of the Plains Wind” »

It was a beautiful evening when Chris and I decided to pay a visit to one of our favourite forests. The wood at Alderley Edge. We arrived there in the early evening and the forest was as welcoming as ever. Stepping into the mystical wood we both drew our rods and began to follow them, … Read More “An unusual time at the Wizards Wood 2015” »

I wasn’t finished for this trip to the Ancient Yew. I had come with a question and had been given the guidance to be patient. Lovely! That is the order of the year isn’t it? After that, I hesitate to call it revelation, I was directed at flowering bush some feet away from the Yew. … Read More “Aura sharing and a dream” »

Last week I visited the Wizards Wood in Alderley Edge and had a visitation by that amazing and beguiling goddess Cailleach. She informed me that I should meet her at the Genesis of places, the Hill of Tara, with a Question. What that question is is a mystery. Perhaps THE most knowledgeable being that we … Read More “The Question and an Ancient Yew” »
