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” »

Spring Equinox 2015 p5 – Oak Staff of Sherwood

Spring Equinox 2015 p5 – Oak Staff of Sherwood
Forests and Woods, Staff, Trees

For a while I’ve felt that I needed a staff that is more practical than my too-obvious antlered yew staff. The yew staff was right at the time, and is good for ceremonial occasions, but is impractical, too decorative, and was fashioned by someone else. I felt I needed something more subtle that I can carve … Read More “Spring Equinox 2015 p5 – Oak Staff of Sherwood” »

Let me address some of these definitions before I start my story. What I am talking about here is the thought-form that is created by a … Read More “The Soul of A Car” »

The Heartbeat of Sherwood

Often I need to squeeze an evening out of nowhere in order to get my spiritual path moving a little. I had been stagnating for a while, burdened by “life” getting in the way of what I wanted to do. It happens sometimes. So, I made some time and invited Kal to come with me … Read More “The Heartbeat of Sherwood” »

It is the final post in my Nottinghamshire tales [see also: The Hobgoblin of Creswell Crags and The Beech of … Read More “The Green Man and The Major Oak 2012” »
