Walking the Ancient Path in a Modern World
Kilmartin Museum was excellent. Lots to see and very interesting for us as well, which is not often the case. I particularly like their outdoor exhibit demonstrating the alignment of the nearby megaliths with the sun’s position. A quirky little pedestal which I’m sure many will have overlooked. We decided we had enough time to … Read More “Lammas 2015 p8 – The Pink Knight and the Black Chamber” »
After a hearty breakfast at the Loch Melfort Hotel – a hotel with stunning lake views and roaming highland cattle – we checked out and made our way back to Kilmartin. We had passed signs on the edge of Kilmartin for a castle called Carnasserie, and this would be our first stop today. Later we … Read More “Lammas 2015 p7 – The Troll of Carnasserie Castle” »
We wandered along the darkening roads around the floor off the valley. Bats swooped at us, as though sensing our excitement and wanting to join us.

We diverted ourselves with … Read More “Lammas 2015 p6 – Light In The Darkness at Moon Temple” »

So it was that we arrived at the stone just as the sun was sinking behind the dark hills. I wasn’t feeling this … Read More “Lammas 2015 p5 – Kintraw and The Undine Pact” »
As we walked towards the main four spires of this site, I got a familiar tingle. It was Fay! I’ve been around them enough to know when they are about. Particularly when they are this side of a portal. It seems that my sacred journey is intertwined with these beings, for the moment at least. If you … Read More “Stolen Artefact and the Faery Taint – Lammas 5” »
We were moving further back down the glen we had traversed when we arrived this Lammas August morning. Somehow, we had managed to drive right past a huge pair of stone rows, and we laughed at how Nature places these things in our attention just when we’re ready for them. Clearly, this was the right order in … Read More “Lammas 2015 p4 – The Energy of the Ballymeanoch Stone Rows” »
