August 22nd 2013 – Mitchell’s Fold stone circle, Shropshire. My third question to ask about on this wonderfully energetic evening in Shropshire’s finest stone circle was for me to consider the nature and purpose of the double-headed spiral form that I often found running through stones in stone circles. This was a seemingly innocuous, nay incidental, … Read More “The Double-Headed Spiral Form” »

At the end of August 2011 I found myself with an evening free and an urge to visit a sacred site where I could learn more about the five healing rays that I have been studying. As a reference for those of you who haven’t been following this particular series from the beginning, here are … Read More “Moel-Ty-Uchaf 2011 – the healing rays explained” »

A Hedge Druid’s Grove: Finding my own nemeton
Modern Druidry

A bit of a break from the reports of visiting ancient sites and dowsing. In this post I want to tell you how I found my own sacred grove. As a fledgling druid I have got to a stage in my training where I want to be free to experiment with the suggestions that I … Read More “A Hedge Druid’s Grove: Finding my own nemeton” »

Pistyll Rhaeadr: the healing power of waterfalls

Posted on August 14, 2009September 8, 2026 By Gwas 1 Comment on Pistyll Rhaeadr: the healing power of waterfalls
Pistyll Rhaeadr: the healing power of waterfalls
Modern Druidry

The concept of hydrotherapy, i.e. healing with water, goes back such a long way into the past that it is probably safest to assume that humans have always used water to effect cures. If you try to read about the origins of water healing you will undoubtedly be told to start with the Roman civilisation. This is clearly … Read More “Pistyll Rhaeadr: the healing power of waterfalls” »

Secret Places: A book and its cover

Secret Places: A book and its cover
Bookshelf, Dowsing, Energy work, Modern Druidry

The phrase, “You shoudn’t judge a book by its cover” has never been more starkly brought into focus for me as when I received a copy of Philip Heselton’s “Secret Places of the Goddess: Contacting the earth spirit (1995)“. Bless Capall Bann publishing, their repertoire is excellent, but the covering artwork and styling of the book leaves a … Read More “Secret Places: A book and its cover” »

Transformation Chambers: Winter research 2008
Bookshelf, Quickie

In August of 2008 Kal and I visited several sou-terrains (chambers constructed by the placement of supporting stones and a large capstone, often beneath alternating layers of clay and earth). At each site we visited we asked the dowsing rods whether the purpose of the site was the burial of the dead. Our responses led … Read More “Transformation Chambers: Winter research 2008” »
