Walking the Ancient Path in a Modern World
In the final part of my Winter Solstice story for 2013 I talk about one of my favourite places – Dinas Bran. It’s one of the most beautiful, impressive, magickal and mythical places in my area.

On the whole it has been an amazingly packed, dense, active year. … Read More “2012 – Summary of the Year by Gwas” »
