On a bright clear morning I made my way south and west of the M25 ring road around London, and down into the heart of Surrey’s scenic surroundings. I saw signs for Bognor Regis and Worthing and realised that I was closer to the South Downs National Park then I had imagined. Yet it felt like the very … Read More “Surrey 2016 p4 – The Matron and The Ancient Yew” »

Overlooking the ever-expanding amusement theme park that is Thorpe Park is a beautiful hill which is inhabited largely by dog walkers. I pulled off the B388 and headed up the hill, parking at the lower car park on the side facing the theme park. I had a choice of paths – top, middle or bottom. … Read More “Surrey 2016 p3- The Well of Anu” »

In the first of my seven Summer Solstice stories I will tell you about how I encountered an ancestral spirit who would work with my Spirit Self to bring about a culmination of my ancestral work on this weekend’s journeying. This was only realised through the two days work, so the stories piece into each other … Read More “Summer Solstice 2015 p1 – Meadowsweet, Larks and Loughcrew” »

Red Lady Release

Posted on September 30, 2013September 17, 2026 By Gwas 6 Comments on Red Lady Release
Red Lady Release
Dreams, Hedge Druidry, Spirit rescue

I don’t dream much. When I do it’s very mundane – the kind of universal boring dreams which psychologists love – the kind that are full of the classic “can’t get away” or “never reaching” or “being late” type scenarios. They’re dull and un-memorable. Recently I had the most profoundly affecting dream. It was so real … Read More “Red Lady Release” »

I recently have an encounter with a dark energy force, and during the course of which I learned so much more about the process that it eclipses the first story anyway. Here is my story about a dark energy form at Gawsworth Church. The story involves my good friend Mike – a psychic healer of … Read More “The Sorrowful Widow” »

New Moon dedications

New Moon dedications
Energy work, Experiment, Modern Druidry

According to Philip Heselton’s book “Secret Places of the Goddess” the New Moon phase is a good time to perform a dedication to the three-fold Goddess. Well, I don’t go in for ritualistic acts on the whole, but a little meditation seemed in keeping with The Spirit. A simple crystal layout using my five main crystals … Read More “New Moon dedications” »
