Camelot Tarot 2015 – The Latter Half

Posted on March 22, 2015March 20, 2015 By Chris No Comments on Camelot Tarot 2015 – The Latter Half
Camelot Tarot 2015 – The Latter Half
Arthurian, Tarot

In the second half of the reading I explore the cards that were drawn for me on my journey from Lammas to the Winter Solstice this coming year. Things were not at all what I was expecting, and I think that has good and bad aspects. Good because I like my assumptions and pre-conditioning to be upset every now and again, and bad because of the portent that the signs have offered me. Read on to see where the signs point in the second half of the year.

Lammas – Amangons at The Green Chapel

By the time that Summer is in its full green garment we reach the festival of Lammas. It is at this point that I encounter the archetype King Amangons.

King Amangons signifies a counterpoint to Brigid

This figure represents a darkness – a despoiler of the powers of the virginal maiden Brigid (Bride). It is interesting that he is positioned at the opposition point of Imbolc – the time of Brigid. In this position I think he represents either the switch of that energy into its opposing force, or a deliberate move into a darker energy.

Samhain Pilgrimage 2: The Sign of the Crackling Crow

Posted on November 22, 2013November 19, 2013 By kal No Comments on Samhain Pilgrimage 2: The Sign of the Crackling Crow
Pilgrimage

Julie, my Shamanic visitor from the USA and I set off on our first (of many) sacred site visits. It was to be one of my favourite sites, the Nine Ladies in Derbyshire. Throughout the week various friends had consoled me that the days of Julie’s visit were going to be rainy and cloudy. Oh Ye … Read More “Samhain Pilgrimage 2: The Sign of the Crackling Crow” »

Ireland 2012 Part 5: Boyle Abbey and tracking down Duignan

Ireland 2012 Part 5: Boyle Abbey and tracking down Duignan
Ancient Sites, Dowsing, Quests

Boyle Abbey is a sacred place of worship that was gifted to the Cistercians. This order of monks built their abbey over the top of an existing pagan site (if I remember the guide’s introduction properly), and I would suspect that this was actually a druidic college that they built over. For me the abbey … Read More “Ireland 2012 Part 5: Boyle Abbey and tracking down Duignan” »

Dinas Emrys: Of Kings and Druids
Modern Druidry

For some time now I have been trying to get closer to the spirit of Merlin. In the fabulously detailed and helpful book “Walkers Between the Worlds” there is a section dealing with such encounters. One of the recommendations is to immerse yourself in the history of that figure. Done that. Next, the Matthews’ recommendation … Read More “Dinas Emrys: Of Kings and Druids” »
