It’s well past the Summer Solstice and I’m only just posting about Beltane. Boy, have I got some catching up to do! Let’s begin. A long time ago I drew my first ley line along a map of North Wales.

As I drove into Artington I was looking for a place to park up which was close to the river … Read More “Surrey 5 – Catherine’s Hill and Artington Well” »

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 2 – The Deerhunter” »
Autumn Equinox. A time I had promised myself a solitary journey to sit in Idris’ Chair – Cadair Idris – the lovely mountain whose shape reminds me of a sleeping dragon, curled up with his head pointing to the western shores of Wales. Having been to Dinas Emrys already, now came the time to climb. … Read More “The Uneasy Chair – P2 – Autumn Equinox 2016” »
