Walking the Ancient Path in a Modern World
For Autumn Equinox 2016 I decided to make use of all of the available light. I would start early in the morning, and I would head to Dinas Emrys. It had been a while since I had been there, and it had been mentioned by a few people in the weeks prior to the Equinox. … Read More “Autumn Equinox 2016 p1 – The Sun and Moon in balance” »
A druid is asked to work with both light and darkness. The concepts of druidry seem to me to be centred around the concept of balance.

I prefer to call this the natural unfoldment of The … Read More “Mitchells Fold 2013 – the balance between East and West” »
As a druid The Summer Solstice is an important time. For me, this importance derives wholly from the energetic aspects of this date, and has very little to do with its symbolic or cultural context. In previous years I have paid little attention to the Solstice event, preferring to take myself away to Glastonbury in … Read More “Light and Dark – preparations for the Summer Solstice 2013” »
I had deliberately kept the number of site visits low for Beltane. The daylight hours are still short, the distance we had to travel to get there was sufficient to drain away the day, and I wanted to be able to feel ‘unhurried’ when we got to a site. Almost as if enhancing this mood … Read More “Beltane 2013 p2 – Wilderness and Laughter” »
