This story is from some time in 2017, but I don’t remember when that was. It is way back in the mists surrounding that quiet period after Kal’s death where I was struggling to recover – physically, mentally and spiritually. However, re-reading this old post which had sat there for years unattended, I realised there … Read More “Sherwood Forest 2017 – Lifesong of Nature and The Five Trees” »

In preparation for Imbolc I wanted to construct something similar to what I had seen at other sacred sites related to the goddess Brigid – a wooden cross. I decided to make two crosses – one for me and one for my friend Julia, who would be accompanying me for my Imbolc outing. My concept was … Read More “Crosses for the Bride” »

Now I am in Alderley Edge forest, and having re-acquired the Golden Dragon I am keen to see what we … Read More “Alderley Edge 2014 – Golden Dragon and Tree Roots” »

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” »

After the traumatic events of Imbolc only three weeks ago. It feels like an age ago. I was ready to see what remedies if any could be put in place. After all, I had apparently foisted a Soul onto (into?) a Dragon that didn’t want it. All because that tricky Cailleach had maneuvered me into it. … Read More “Nine Stones Close – Wisdom of the Oak” »

Prelude In my previous Imbolc 2014 posts, I told how Gwas and I had changed plans mid-stream and ended up at Dinas Emrys. A fabulous place of power where I had collected a (quite literally) pocket full of quartz crystals. About an hour after that climb we were parked at the foot of Penmaenmar looking out … Read More “Imbolc 2014 part 3 of 5 : Fire and Ice at the Druids Circle” »
