You may have noticed a slight slowness in posting in November? I was on holiday for a while this month in Spain. My psychic friend (I’ll have to stop calling him that) Mike has a caravan just north of Malaga and he invited M and I out to see him. The opportunity for some Spanish sunshine could not be squandered. We got a cheap flight out and Mike picked us up at the airport, driving us far up into the hills and beyond. Soon we were on the plains that Spain is famous for, and shortly after that we were trying to adjust our eyes to the new light frequencies. It wasn’t hot but it was bright. Apparently we had just missed a month of torrential rains – unseasonable and unusual in the area. We’re lucky like that.
Our first outing with Mike was up into the local hills. He hadn’t been himself but some of the other residents of the caravan park had mentioned El Torcal as being a local beauty spot. Apparently it had unusual rock formations. It sounded interesting, so we drove a few miles up into the hills and began to marvel at the views.
As you can imagine we lingered quite a while at that viewing point, letting the sun and the view sink in like a healing balm on itchy skin. Then I turned my attentions to a rather unusual rock formation that was up on the skyline ahead of us. The rock looked like a tail had flicked upwards. The rock was precariously positioned, and drew the eye. From there it took only moments for me to realise that the shape that the “tail” was attached to was like one I had seen before at Cadair Idris mountain in Wales. It was the shape of a sleeping dragon…
Now, let’s just hold it there for a moment. A “sleeping dragon”? You may have noticed, eagle-eyed that you are, that a recent post by Kal was also entitled “sleeping dragon” and related to his encounter in Iona. Yes, this year has been replete with smoking nostrils and the sulphurous odour of dragons. Everywhere we’ve been we’ve encountered them, like they were coming out of the landscape and penetrating our thick skulls – making us acutely aware of their presence. You might remember, if you’re a long-term follower – that at the start of the year we were talking about 2012 being the Year of the Dragon. Actually, it’s specifically the Year of the Water Dragon. And hasn’t it been exactly such a year? Intriguing! Well, there is a strong element of co-creation going on here and it’s a process that I’m only just beginning to appreciate for what it is. Druid work is magickal and mysterious, but always rewarding. Back to El Torcal now.
