When the weather has been dry for several days in England then it would be rude not to go out into the world and see if you can feel the forces of Nature at work.

In the fourth part of this Spring Equinox 2013 story I visit a new stone circle (or two), working with the energies and completing the sigil shape that I had been tracing in the Llangollen landscape. Bryn Beddau cairn circle Hidden in the murky depths of the Clocaenog Forest are two small cairn circles. One … Read More “Spring Equinox 2013 – Day of the Crow Part 4” »

At this time of the year I am on a “wind down” to the Winter Solstice. Visits to ancient sites are rare, but when an opportunity arises like the full moon and a free evening, well what can a jobbing hedge druid do but heed the call. Actually, the call was pulling at my feet … Read More “Luds Church 2012 – Moonlight meeting with Gawain” »

It was a fine English summer’s evening, in other words the sun was threatening to appear and it wasn’t yet raining. A good enough excuse for me to go and visit a local beauty spot and see what I could learn. “Every day”, as they say, “is a school day”. I obtained a meagre repast … Read More “Creating a ward at Alderley Edge 2011” »

With other commitments to … Read More “Darkness at the Wizards Wood” »

Alderley Edge, Cheshire : 20th August, 2008 THE BENT TREE We looked like a scene from Wacky Races as we pulled into the Wizard’s Car Park next to the pub (where you HAVE to buy a meal, it’s rumoured) in the late afternoon.
