Arthurian Archetypes of the Cross
Arthur, Arthurian, Gwalchaved or Galahad, Gwalchmai or Gawain, Hedge Druidry, Magick, Merlin, Natural Magick, Tarot

As a druid I work with mental imagery to facilitate connections to sources of intelligence and wisdom beyond the confines of my own psyche. The format of those mental images, the focal points if you like, are fairly arbitrary for the most part. Although we have created some cultural thought-forms (many of which have energy and … Read More “Arthurian Archetypes of the Cross” »

For several weeks I had been passing by Old Oswestry Hillfort in Shropshire on my travels to Wales and to some of the closer megalithic sites in North Shropshire. Every time I passed it my eye was caught by its level top and the sheer size of it. I loved the sight of its steep front, and … Read More “Warlock Fitzalan’s Lessons – Water Magick” »

This is the final part of my Summer Solstice 2011 quest in and around Glastonbury.

This solstice was no different so Kal will make an important appearance throughout this quest’s tale, but I spent the … Read More “Summer Solstice 2011 Part 1 – Union of the Red and White Streams” »

Sunday, 22nd August, 2010 – Tintagel, Cornwall. In the final post of our Cornwall visit I have reserved the best tale until last. Tintagel was supposed to be simply a passing visit to an historic site, but as usual mystical things began to happen once the dowsing rods had pointed the way.

Robert J Stewart: The Life and Mysticism of Merlin
Bookshelf, Recommended

I have just finished two of the most impressive books on the subject of the Western Mystery Tradition’s greatest and original prophet: Merlin. To most of us, to almost everyone, Merlin has been portrayed as a caricature, a cartoon character, and a convenient symbol of a “wizard” with a Celtic flavour. With the exception of … Read More “Robert J Stewart: The Life and Mysticism of Merlin” »
