Summary 2013 – Lessons Learned Pt1
Hedge Druidry, Hedge philosophy

In the second of my year-end summary posts I am listing the most important things I have learned this year. I’ve arranged them in chronological order by month as this seems to show the development of the learning in the best way. There’s too much to read in one go, so I’ve split this into two … Read More “Summary 2013 – Lessons Learned Pt1” »

Hedge philosophy, Magick, Modern Druidry, Natural Magick, Theory

I was made aware of an article recently that nearly passed me by. I’m glad it didn’t. Literally once a year or maybe less I get to read an article that contains such interesting information that it makes me want to blog about it. The article in question was written by a practising “wizard”, and … Read More “The Nine Doctrines of Natural Magick” »

August 22nd 2013 – Mitchell’s Fold stone circle, Shropshire. My third question to ask about on this wonderfully energetic evening in Shropshire’s finest stone circle was for me to consider the nature and purpose of the double-headed spiral form that I often found running through stones in stone circles. This was a seemingly innocuous, nay incidental, … Read More “The Double-Headed Spiral Form” »

A Yew and a Mirror Darkly
Hedge philosophy, Trees

Have you ever been sitting comfortably in front of an open fire, munching on fine food, and chatting about philosophical concepts, and then suddenly you’ve jumped up and driven fifty miles into the middle of nowhere to visit a tree? We have.  We had been discussing “the purpose of the purpose”, in other words, we … Read More “A Yew and a Mirror Darkly” »

Typhon and Delphine

Typhon and Delphine
Hedge philosophy

As a pre-cursor to our trip to Greece I have been researching two aspects of energy forms that keep arising in works that I read, often seemingly un-related to the main topic. Those forms are some very early archetypes of the Male and Female earth energies – namely Typhon and Delphine. Typhon was created by the union of … Read More “Typhon and Delphine” »

Druid Mind and Creating the World

Posted on January 27, 2013September 14, 2026 By Gwas 2 Comments on Druid Mind and Creating the World
Druid Mind and Creating the World
Hedge philosophy

There is a theory that says that the world is illusion, “maya“, and that we create the whole of reality within our own minds. This is heard often in the New Age arena, and such philosophies are initially very attractive for they feed the ego of the newly expanded mind. If you mind can be stretched to encompass more than you … Read More “Druid Mind and Creating the World” »
