We have such a lot to tell you about. Beltane blossomed into the May colour that we had anticipated, and much more besides. We’re going to have to post at an unprecedented rate in order to get the stories out before the Summer Solstice. Kal has around twenty posts to write, and I have around a dozen. We will probably need to post one a day! We hope you will enjoy the tales, for they were magickal, mind-bending and mirthful in equal measure.
Our story starts with a troubled arrival at Brittany. Sensibly Kal took all his baggage with him, but I put mine through into the plane’s hold for our two-leg journey. Obviously a mistake. When we arrived at Brest airport I was one bag short – and it was the bag with the gifts in, for I had brought some offerings of friendship to our ‘cousin’ across the water. Today was the day we would meet with Oona – she of Wiz Art fame – the legendary craftswoman of wand and staff, and an experienced hedge druid herself.
Oona sends her friend Caillu to meet us, and we are invited in as old friends, even though we have never met in person before. We are warmly greeted and welcomed. We realise quickly that we share a great deal of kinship – in spirit, attitude, and experience. Bonds begin to form – energy begins to flow – and we understand that lone druids can unite in friendship with other long druids. Oona has also prepared a hearty meal from local produce and some excellent wine which may be one of the few good meals we experience on this journey.
Grand Cairn of Barnenez
The ladies talk of a local site that they want to show us. It is one of their favourite sacred sites – the tomb complex of Barnenez.
We are driven a few miles down the coast until we reach the town of Plouezoc’h, on the Kernéléhen peninsula in northern Finistère. As we arrive we notice that the forecast rain has not appeared yet. Perhaps we will be lucky as we investigate this 7,000 year old site?
