Walking the Ancient Path in a Modern World
This is a story I recovered from October 2016. My psychic friend Mike introduced me long ago to a lady named Maddy. Maddy was often in our group when we chatted about esoteric subjects, but their was often an air of sadness about her. She seemed troubled.

It’s well past the Summer Solstice 2017 and I’m only just posting about Beltane. Boy, have I got some catching up to do! Let’s begin.

I was … Read More “Surrey 2016 p6 – The Pilgrim’s Way to Gatton Park” »
Having been unable to locate St Catherine’s Well using my phone app, I was now heading for the next site of the day – Artington Well. Which, unsurprisingly, was in the town of Artington, Surrey. As I drove into Artington I was looking for a place to park up which was close to the river … Read More “Surrey 2016 p5 – Catherine’s Hill and Artington Well” »
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” »
