Woodhenge - May 15 (15)

“Time is an illusion, lunch time doubly so” is a famous quote from the Hitch-Hikers Guide (needs no further introduction). Over the last few months Chris and I have often delved into the notion of time. With my sciency background and mind chock full of sci-fi books, films and TV I am not averse to considering temporal phenomena as it relates to sacred experiences. However I have to confess that it was Chris that came up with this idea during one of our long car journeys.

Back Story: Many years ago I made a mistake. A big one, I means a really big one. I was living in the south-west of the country at the time in a town called Barnstaple. In that worthy village, I found a church that was filled to the brim with shades. I was truly surprised at the number of them. Being recently gifted the name Spirit Walker I decided in my magnificence to remove the shades from the church yard and take them to some place more fitting. 

A late night and a ceremony later and all the shades were captured within the confines of a crystal. As it happened a few short months later I found myself at wood henge. Which I thought would be an excellent place to let these shades go. Boy was that a mistake. Almost as soon as I let them go, they scooted off down the power (ley/death/pilgrim) lines that converge at WoodHenge. It was a mistake that I could no recover from. How could I? Having said that and given that it is such an awe-inspiring foobar I often wonder why I am not overly concerned with having this tarnish on my personal history.

Chris and I were discussing temporal mechanics and energy (of the subtle kind). It was one of them chicken and egg situations and I can’t honestly recall the genesis of the topic however one curious theory emerged. Is it possible to rectify a past energetic mistake in the present? With this came to mind the WoodHenge Shade Affair. Could that monumental fiasco be repaired. We talked around the subject but that’s all it was, talk.

Correcting mistakes – a return to Woodhenge?

Edge Wizardry, Energy work, Ghosts and shades

Readers may recall that the odd time or two, due to our in experience, we have been called back to sites to correct a previous error. Breaking up our personally created Stone Circles at Dyserth Castle being one such example. My recent (Winter 2010) experiences had me accidentally leaving behind a host of Energetic Shades at … Read More “Correcting mistakes – a return to Woodhenge?” »

Winter solstice and discovering the trick

Posted on December 24, 2010December 29, 2010 By kal No Comments on Winter solstice and discovering the trick
Edge Wizardry

The 2010 winter solstice evening was around -8 degrees, crystal clear and a full moon. Rather than my usual any-weather gear I decided to add a couple of more layers on for protection of the mundane kind. I went out for an evening stroll, enjoying the Christmas lights and the fullness of the moon shining … Read More “Winter solstice and discovering the trick” »

Dowsing

Last week I moved to North Devon, specifically the town of Barnstaple. I was here but a day when I was walking around the town center getting my bearings and checking out the cafes when I was pulled into an alley way. I say pulled because that was how it felt. I had walked past … Read More “Guerrilla dowsing at St Annes Church Barnstaple” »
