Crosses for the Bride

Posted on February 2, 2016February 2, 2016 By Chris No Comments on Crosses for the Bride
Crosses for the Bride
Belief Systems, Power Objects, Ritual, Saints, Trees

In preparation for Imbolc I wanted to construct something similar to what I had seen at other sacred sites related to the goddess Brigid – a wooden cross. I decided to make two crosses – one for me and one for my friend Julia, who would be accompanying me for my Imbolc outing. My concept was … Read More “Crosses for the Bride” »

Some people like to take their holidays in a place they know and love. Me too – but let me qualify that statement. For me holidays are about an opportunity to visit somewhere I haven’t been before in a place that I know I love – Britain.

It is a week away from the Spring Equinox 2014 and I was wondering. At our last outing a couple of weeks ago we went to Nine Stones close and I was informed that I would need to have merged with my Energy Double to be able to sustain a meeting with the Ice Dragon. … Read More “Wizards & Goddesses” »

Oh blimey! We’re so far behind with our posts. Here’s one from the early part of June that I’ve just got around to. It’s the second part of the story of our Wales visit during the Venus Transit early in the month. I think I put “Mid June” at the start of the last post, but actually … Read More “Scotch Mist and Scotching Myths” »

This penultimate post of my Ireland Ancestor Quest story sees the climax of the tale.

It might be open and it would be a pleasant walk amongst some trees while we waited … Read More “Ireland 2012 Part 4: Lough Key and the search for the Eel Sword” »
