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” »

In the third and final part of my Imbolc 2017 story I am making my way towards a new stone circle in the area of Penmaenmawr in North Wales. The sky is blue, and I’m excited about the possibility of seeing a new circle. In fact, as I’m walking I’m wondering why Kal and I … Read More “Imbolc 2017 p3 – Sing the Song of The Raven” »

It’s Samhain, or Halloween and I’m travelling to Valle Crucis Abbey in Llangollen in the heart of the night. The idea is that I will meet with Cailleach and Duignan to take advantage of the thin veil between the Middle Earth and The Underworld. If you need a “catch up” on these two “personalities” then … Read More “Samhain 2016 – Valle Crucis and The Thin Veil” »

Conscious Camp. I’d heard of it from my friends who attend my weekly meditation. They had raved about it all year, and at first I wasn’t interested, but when they enthused about the number of activities and how they fitted completely with my druidic lifestyle, then I succumbed. I went to the Autumn Conscious Camp … Read More “Conscious Camp 2016 – Ash and the Lightning Path” »

On a delightfully warm and sunny Summer’s evening the intrepid duo ventured forth into the heartlands of Northern Wales in search of inspiration. Our destination was the ancient and venerable Yew tree of Llangernyw. The environs of Llangernyw were beginning to flourish with a beautiful display of wild flowers. We entered the graveyard, drinking in … Read More “The Yew of the Four Glyphs 2015” »

On a particularly sunny day Kal and I planned to venture forth into the world in search of adventure. We had a plan, of course. A rough plan. I wanted to go to Belas Knap long barrow, which I first and last visited in the autumn of 2013. I had been thinking about how I … Read More “Belas Knap 2015 – Chakras and The Merlin Staff” »

In the second (and slightly shorter) of the Beltane stories I am following a different ‘ripple’ from the initial ‘splash’ that was recounted previously. In this second part I am concentrating on the nature of a new quest that will run from Beltane to Summer Solstice. I already knew that the previous quest – Become The Giant … Read More “Beltane 2015 p2 – The Heart of the Merlin Staff” »
