Walking the Ancient Path in a Modern World
Samhain 2015 was spent at Belas Knap near to Winchcombe in Gloucestershire. The long barrow had been appearing all week beforehand in background pictures on my computer and I took this as a sign that it was the right place. This would be the second festival date without Kal, but this time I had a fellow … Read More “Samhain 2015 p1 – Bel and the Bee at Belas Knap” »
In the last of my Summer Solstice 2015 posts (can you believe we’ve generated so much from one weekend?) we are taken on an escorted tour of a sacred site. We have left David at Fourknocks, but Regina has stayed with us to show us one more site: The Shrine of Brigid at Faughart. We … Read More “Summer Solstice 2015 p7 – The Light of Brighid” »
This is the last of my Beltane 2015 posts. I had intended it to be the central point of the ripple effect – the smallest circle, the tiniest of posts.

Our searches for some sacred springs and … Read More “Spring Equinox 2015 p2 – Blood from a Grimstone” »

Over the last few years Imbolc has proven a beautiful entrance into the coming year and this year we were not disappointed by the days events. We began … Read More “Lady of the Well predicts Laughter” »
Wednesday had been a torrential unrelenting downpour. It would turn out to be the first of many such rainstorms over the next few weeks which would result in the Cornwall and Devon regions having one of the worst spells of flooding in living memory in January 2014. However, this was just a prelude, but it meant that I … Read More “Cornwall Winter p6 – Perran Round” »
