Walking the Ancient Path in a Modern World
This is the first if two posts that I recovered from Summer Solstice 2017. I had some detailed, and some cryptic, notes which I have re-imagined in order to bring you these two adventures. It seems, although I have now forgotten this, that I had found some sites that day which were linked to tales … Read More “Summer Solstice 2017 p1 – Llech-y-Doll and the Llyn Peninsula” »
Occasionally I am sent away. Relocated. Shoved to the furthest edges of the world through the medium of what is known socially as “Work”. Whilst I consider it an honour to be offered the opportunity to travel so far, occasionally I am left spiritually bereft by the choice of location. When I heard that I … Read More “Maiden of Austin 2017” »

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” »
In the first of six stories about a recent trip to autumnal Surrey I begin with a recounting of a visit to a modern stone circle. All of the ancient circles which may once have been raised in Surrey have been destroyed, but there are two modern circles which were of interest to me. The … Read More “Surrey 2016 p1 – The Jack Temple Circle” »
Lammas is a bitter sweet time for me now. I remember well last year’s visit to Kilmartin in Scotland. This was the last proper outing that Kal and I had together. This celebration is therefore tinged with a knowing that it not only marks the end of the Summer, but it also is a reminder … Read More “Lammas 2016 – Druid’s Circle and The Ring of Kinship” »
