After a hearty breakfast at the Loch Melfort Hotel – a hotel with stunning lake views and roaming highland cattle – we checked out and made our way back to Kilmartin. We had passed signs on the edge of Kilmartin for a castle called Carnasserie, and this would be our first stop today. Later we … Read More “Lammas 2015 p7 – The Troll of Carnasserie Castle” »

This is the second of my tales about my return to Dyserth Castle in the dark. In this story, having cleared and calmed the fire pit of its chaotic energy signature, I find out some information about how to call lightning and from a source that I wasn’t expecting. I am introduced to the idea that Earth … Read More “Dyserth 2013 – The Relationship of Lightning” »

Following on from my previous encounter with a Nix – a Water Spirit associated with a river which became a waterfall in Dyserth town – we moved to the nearby site of Dyserth Castle. It is a short drive away from the town towards the hill of Graig Fawr where it’s possible to park easily. I wasn’t expecting anything … Read More “Dyserth Castle 2013 – How to call an Air Spirit” »

This is my penultimate Summer Solstice post. I have one more – a real counterpoint to this story – which will teach me another strong lesson, but we’ll come to that in time. For now, we have arrived at Tintagel – home of all things Arthurian, especially the gift shops – and we have just scoured the town … Read More “Summer Solstice 2013 p10 – Tintagel and Merlin’s Cave” »

On our Shropshire outing I had planned to visit several hill forts. Having completely failed to be able to park anywhere near one of them, and having had our potential parking space stolen by someone else (seriously – we were in the middle of nowhere – where did that person come from?) we moved on. … Read More “Clun Castle 2011 – The Shade of the Warlock” »

One of the many delightful castles that line the North-Eastern coastline of England is Bamburgh Castle. Bamburgh is one of the best-preserved castles we have, and it is certainly worth a visit. Seemingly it is also one of the most haunted, certainly if you listen to the Most Haunted TV team who visited the castle … Read More “Bamburgh Castle ghost” »

Dowsing, Telluric, Wheel of Albion

On my travels southward I had been following a line that I had felt was true, consistent, and indivisible. The energy ley was varying only in terms of its width and strength, but in terms of its direction and integrity it was whole and cardinally oriented.
