What I learned from crop circles – Part 2

Posted on September 20, 2013 By Gwas No Comments on What I learned from crop circles – Part 2
Crop circle

In the previous companion post to this one (Part 1) I talked about the death of crop circles in 2013, and how the prediction of that phenomenon was one of the major markers on my wayfaring through the magickal world I now inhabit. In the follow up I will be talking about the ways in which crop circles added to my druid work.

This year has been a testing year in many ways. One of the elements of travelling The Doubtful Path, that was indicated for me in a tarot draw at the start of the year, is that it is necessary to re-visit and recapitulate elements of wonder that have been encountered, and to consider what these things mean to you as you proceed. So it is with crop circles.

I certainly don’t celebrate the death of the crop circle. Even though it was an incidental phenomenon (or so I thought at the time) that had no apparent bearing on my druid work, I now begin to see the things that the phenomenon brought home to me. Let me first list, then describe, what these things are.

  1. Mystery
  2. Beauty in Nature
  3. Meaning in pattern
  4. Co-creation with Otherworld forces
  5. Primal energy

In the next section I will talk about these concepts in more detail as they relate to my experiences with the crop circle phenomenon.

Receiving the elements at The Rollrights 2011
Ancient Sites, Dowsing, Natural Magick, Telluric

Earlier in the month I was asked to go on a training course with work. The course was down near London, so this meant that I would have to travel for several hours to get there, yet I didn’t have to arrive until 1:30pm. By my quick reckoning if I started my journey early enough … Read More “Receiving the elements at The Rollrights 2011” »

Release and purification

Release and purification
Modern Druidry, Other reports

This year I had a couple of strange experiences while on holiday in the Isle of Wight. One of the most memorable was when M and I went to Ryde town. A lovely seaside resort, and it was a nice sunny day. We only wanted to look around a bit, and when we found the … Read More “Release and purification” »

Alone In The Dark: Pt.1

Posted on October 2, 2008October 14, 2008 By Gwas 2 Comments on Alone In The Dark: Pt.1
Modern Druidry

PART ONE: The build-up to facing fear When intuition calls these days I answer that call – even if the call will entail some difficulties, and my reason can pop up any number of good reasons why I shouldn’t follow “that squirly notion“, as McKenna puts it. Today I became intent and set upon a … Read More “Alone In The Dark: Pt.1” »

Magick and dowsing

Posted on September 30, 2008October 14, 2008 By Gwas 2 Comments on Magick and dowsing
Dowsing, Modern Druidry, Quickie

Firstly, I need to state that I am no authority on magick. I speak from my limited experience of the practise as I have worked with Nature to extend the capabilities that dowsing has initiated and developed. My knowledge is a gnostic understanding of the intuitive possibilities envisioned during altered states of consciousness. I often … Read More “Magick and dowsing” »
