Death of an Amateur Turf Cutter

Posted on August 30, 2013August 30, 2013 By Gwas No Comments on Death of an Amateur Turf Cutter
Bookshelf, News article

Seamus Heaney – poet, Irishman and amateur turf cutter – died today aged 74. He was one of the poets whom I truly enjoyed when I was studying poetry at university. As his spiral turns to completion we can only wonder at where such genius with words will re-appear amongst us. Here are some of his inspiring words … Read More “Death of an Amateur Turf Cutter” »

Druids and dowsing

Posted on June 17, 2013 By Gwas 1 Comment on Druids and dowsing
Dowsing, Hedge Druidry, News article

Sometimes you must wonder why I put such store in dowsing as a divination method. Of course, I talk about other methods – scrying, tarot, and other obscure methods. Some of these methods have provenance, and most have been validated by my own work to my satisfaction at some time or another. Yet I keep coming … Read More “Druids and dowsing” »

The Female In The Landscape

Posted on January 31, 2013January 31, 2013 By Gwas No Comments on The Female In The Landscape
Hedge Druidry, News article

Although many ancient mounds are compared to the figures of women, and thus considered to be homages to female deities or Nature ‘herself’, it seems as though this is not just an ancient admiration. Recently the incredible new land sculpture known as “Northumberlandia” was opened to the public near the town of Cramlington. The park is one … Read More “The Female In The Landscape” »

38 Degrees – The Bee Campaign

Posted on October 21, 2012 By Gwas No Comments on 38 Degrees – The Bee Campaign
News article

The last time I engaged with the 38 Degrees campaigners was when they were petitioning to save the British woodland from being sold off to commercial interests. 38 Degrees made supporting and lobbying for the campaign really easy, and because of this they managed to elicit a huge response that actually had a noticeable political … Read More “38 Degrees – The Bee Campaign” »

2011 amazing times

Posted on December 29, 2011December 29, 2011 By kal No Comments on 2011 amazing times
News article, Other reports, Updates

In one sentence…

“The universe sings the song but you provide the song title”

Ok, I can see from the draft posts that Gwas is beginning his 2011 round up and since (see The World is Changing) the new spiral has already begun for me I thought I’d get my update in first!

In complete honesty 2011 has only one word that can describe it, amazing!

Where to begin? Of course this year has been dominated by my Knights Quest. So that is a good a place as  to start as any…

Knights Quest

It all came to the fore at Imbolc festival when, quite innocently, Gwas and I were venturing out to several sites. Our first stop was at a site we, incorrectly, identified as St Helen’s well. At this site I had a vision of that infamous entity Caileach. She directed me on a quest to fulfill the achievement of nine blue keys. Once this was achieved I would be knighted. I know, I still have to laugh when I think of it. But that adventure led me across the Atlantic on an improbable.

Although I tried to follow this questing path with courage and aplomb. It was late this Autumn that I was informed that the quest remained incomplete and that a tighter spiral would have to be journeyed. I am rather disappointed at that but understand now why it has to be thus. See? Sometimes you just need to be told twice!

Some of the more salient points (as determined by me) were:

  • Journeying 3,500 miles to the States
  • Personal physical healing
  • Creating a Knights Code to live by (which I have so far)

Don’t mess with the megaliths!

Posted on November 29, 2011 By Gwas No Comments on Don’t mess with the megaliths!
News article, Spirits

Sean Quinn, once Ireland’s wealthiest man, is now bankrupt. Some are beginning to speculate as to why this might be – dodgy deals, reckless investments, or bad luck? Well, the bad luck angle is getting some airplay at the moment. Some people put the collapse down to a single decision made in the heyday of the … Read More “Don’t mess with the megaliths!” »

Cryptochromes – our magnetic sense

Posted on July 23, 2011September 11, 2026 By Gwas No Comments on Cryptochromes – our magnetic sense
Cryptochromes – our magnetic sense
Energy grid, Experiment, News article

I have been seeing, hearing and thinking about the dowsing response in relation to the Earth’s Magnetic Field a lot recently. Having spent many years attuning myself to the feel, the movement and the changes of this energy field, it was with some delight that I began to hear some reports from the scientific field … Read More “Cryptochromes – our magnetic sense” »
