Posted on July 8, 2014September 18, 2026 By Gwas No Comments on Calming the Golden Dragon 2014
Calming the Golden Dragon 2014
Dragons, Hedge Druidry

When the evening is filled with sunshine and warmth then a lowly Hedge Druid has to make full use of it. I left work earlier than usual in order to beat the traffic. Arriving at Alderley Edge I found that there were few others parked up. Today that was a benefit – I wanted a … Read More “Calming the Golden Dragon 2014” »

You may remember that I left you on a bit of a cliff-hanger at the finale of our visit to the French forest of Broceliande? I had been given the gift of a Golden Dragon but Kal had been incredibly suspicious of it, and his dowsing reported to him that it could only do harm. … Read More “Alderley Edge 2014 – Recovering the Golden Dragon” »

In the final post from Brittany I reveal how working with Faery can seem like a double-edged sword. Kal has already spoken about his double-dealings, and has set the scene. I too have once been in this forest and was tracked by a mischievous sprite who attached himself to me making me disorientated and leading … Read More “Beltane 2014 p11 – Faeries and a Golden Dragon” »

Walking through the Broceliande Forest the next site that I had in mind is called L’Hotié de Viviane, or Viviane’s house (it is also called The Tomb of the Druids). The clouds are still a dull grey colour, but by now sunlight is beginning to pierce through the cloud cover, sending light scurrying through the … Read More “10 Beltane 2014 – Lair of the Land Giant” »

Rowan trees and subtle energies
Telluric, Theory, Trees

Whilst working at Alderley Edge just before Spring Equinox 2014 I was taken to the location of a Rowan tree. I meditated at the base of the tree and felt a connection to the tree itself, and so I asked for permission to dowse about the nature of Rowan trees generally, in respect of their … Read More “Rowan trees and subtle energies” »

With the Spring Equinox 2014 looming Kal and I were chomping at the bit to get out and do some work. Spring had already seemed to have sprung, and we were like two young rabbits eager to play in the springtime sunshine. I had recently been asking my dowsing rods about which activities I could … Read More “Elemental Cleansing at Alderley Edge 2014” »
