Winter Solstice 2013 – The secret of constellation alignment

Posted on January 10, 2014January 8, 2014 By Gwas 6 Comments on Winter Solstice 2013 – The secret of constellation alignment
Ancient Sites, Celestial, Magick

In the final part of my Winter Solstice story for 2013 I talk about one of my favourite places – Dinas Bran. It’s one of the most beautiful, impressive, magickal and mythical places in my area. Having spent time getting to know its spirit of place – the mighty Bran the Blessed – it has provided consistently astonishing results through acts of communing.

On this day, having visited Holywell, this was the destination that Kal was driven (literally) to visit next. Our adventures at Vale Crucis and Eliseg’s Pillar would come afterwards. While the sun still slanted shadows across the land we climbed the impressive hill to reach the remains of the fort on top.

Dinas Bran - Winter Solstice 2013 (2)

The day was beautiful and clear. Surprisingly, there weren’t many people on the hill today! It was a perfect day for photographs, but we were here for other purposes. Kal was on a mission, and I had a burning question:

Why were some sacred sites and standing stones aligned to stars?

I was hoping that Bran might be able to answer that for me.

The concept of renown

Posted on January 19, 2013January 19, 2013 By Gwas No Comments on The concept of renown
Ancestors, Theory

Last year I went to Ireland based on the idea that I was going in search of renown. I don’t think I properly explained that idea, so in the hope of making  the motivation behind those episodes a little clearer I want to discuss what I have come to think about the idea of “renown”. The original … Read More “The concept of renown” »

Autumn Equinox 2011: Part 2 – Presaddfed and Barclodiad y Gawres
Ancient Sites

In the second part of three tales of my outing to Anglesey for the Autumn Equinox this year I will be telling you about a trip to two new sites. One of the sites required earth energy healing, and the other was beyond repair, but is still worth a visit for the sake of its … Read More “Autumn Equinox 2011: Part 2 – Presaddfed and Barclodiad y Gawres” »

Cryptochromes – our magnetic sense

Posted on July 23, 2011September 11, 2026 By Gwas No Comments on Cryptochromes – our magnetic sense
Cryptochromes – our magnetic sense
Energy grid, Experiment, News article

I have been seeing, hearing and thinking about the dowsing response in relation to the Earth’s Magnetic Field a lot recently. Having spent many years attuning myself to the feel, the movement and the changes of this energy field, it was with some delight that I began to hear some reports from the scientific field … Read More “Cryptochromes – our magnetic sense” »

2010 – Summary of the Year

Posted on December 30, 2010September 10, 2026 By Gwas No Comments on 2010 – Summary of the Year
2010 – Summary of the Year
Modern Druidry, Wheel of the Year

We have come a long way since we started in late 2008. All of that seems so long ago now, because so much has happened since then. We have grown. So I present a summary of the year’s work for 2010. Like Kal I intend to do this summary in a single post. Last year … Read More “2010 – Summary of the Year” »

My Eight-Fold Year 2010 – the first four folds

Posted on May 4, 2010September 9, 2026 By Gwas 2 Comments on My Eight-Fold Year 2010 – the first four folds
My Eight-Fold Year 2010 – the first four folds
Modern Druidry, Wheel of the Year

Throughout this year there has been a single overriding concern that has permeated everything that I do regarding dowsing or druidry: there must be a purpose to it. By that I don’t mean that I haven’t had fun, or avoided doing frivolous things. Not at all. However, each visit that I have embarked upon has … Read More “My Eight-Fold Year 2010 – the first four folds” »

Arbor Low: Neutrals and Neutralising

Posted on April 18, 2010September 9, 2026 By Gwas 2 Comments on Arbor Low: Neutrals and Neutralising
Arbor Low: Neutrals and Neutralising
Ancient Sites, Dowsing, Edge Wizardry, Energy work, Modern Druidry

The evening of Thursday 8th April seemed like as good a time as any for me to venture forth on the second of my investigations into the nature of NEUTRAL subtle energy. The air was relatively warm, the sky was clear, there was barely a breath of wind, and hardly a cloud in the sky – surely … Read More “Arbor Low: Neutrals and Neutralising” »
