It was shortly after the visit to Dinas Bran in Llangollen that an opportunity arose to visit the old Llangernyw Yew tree near Conwy. Of course the weather reports said “rain” so we planned for sun. It was sunny. The shadows were lengthening at the end of the day, but the temperature was still warm. … Read More “Cloak of the Green Man” »

The concept of renown

Posted on January 19, 2013September 14, 2026 By Gwas 1 Comment on The concept of renown
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 2010: Part 2 – Llangernyw Yew
Ancient Sites, Energy work, Modern Druidry

Thursday 23rd September, 2010 – Llangernyw village, Conwy, North Wales. Due to us visiting the Llangernyw Yew in daylight we noticed some things we don’t normally see because our usual visit time is dusk or at night. Most striking of the things we saw were the signs strewn around in various formats explaining the provenance … Read More “Autumn Equinox 2010: Part 2 – Llangernyw Yew” »

Star Carr: Our Past, Their Clutter
News article

I see that a combined team of Manchester and York University archaeologists have uncovered Britain’s oldest house to date in the ever-more-fascinating Star Carr site near the seaside town of Scarborough in the North East of England. Julian Cope was referring to Star Carr many years ago, long before many people were even aware of its significance (check out … Read More “Star Carr: Our Past, Their Clutter” »

Llangernyw – Monday, 23rd November 2009 When I consulted my wallchart that shows the energetic profile of the year (amongst many other wonderful and useful features) it indicated that this evening had very little potential to be a good night for energy work. The moon was only at the early stages of its waxing cycle and would … Read More “The Llangernyw Dream Seat” »

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” »
