Walking the Ancient Path in a Modern World
High Harrington – a return to dowsing roots On our way over from Castlerigg to Ennerdale I noticed that we would be going within a short distance of the village that I used to live in when I lived in Cumbria. It was too good an opportunity to miss, especially as I suddenly thought of … Read More “Spring Equinox 2011 Part 2 – Going Home and Juggling with Water Spirits” »
