In the third and final part of my Imbolc 2017 story I am making my way towards a new stone circle in the area of Penmaenmawr in North Wales.

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” »
