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” »

Whenever I mention a sacred site to visit I can see the cogs going round in Kal’s mind… “Will there be climbing involved?” Well, in this instance yes. As we  made our way through the Manifold Valley path towards the conjunction of three hills I could hear a familiar tone evolving in his phrases. So … Read More “Being brave in Thor’s Cave 2013” »

Do you write about your exploits? I ask because Gwas and I often remark that our adventures out in the mystery are so astounding that words don’t do the experience and emotions justice.

Samhain 2011 – Pentre Ifan
Ancient Sites, Dowsing, Hedge Druidry, Wheel of the Year

This year, 2011, I spent Samhain at two places. Not at the same time, obviously. That would be impossible even for a hedge druid who is accustomed to the unusual. I first spent some time with a group of friends in Derbyshire (more about that soon) and then I went with my wife M to … Read More “Samhain 2011 – Pentre Ifan” »

Sunday 25th July 2010 – Cadair Idris, Gwynedd, Wales.

The riddle given to me was “Wake the dragon and teach it to fly.” I have therefore been considering what “waking the dragon” might be to start with. That … Read More “Dragon pose and dragon breath” »

My Eight-Fold Year 2010 – the first four folds
Modern Druidry, Wheel of the Year

Throughout this year there has been a single overriding concern that has permeated everything that I do regarding dowsing or druidry: there must be a purpose to it. By that I don’t mean that I haven’t had fun, or avoided doing frivolous things. Not at all. However, each visit that I have embarked upon has … Read More “My Eight-Fold Year 2010 – the first four folds” »
