Tarot for Sword and Shield 2013

Posted on April 19, 2013September 15, 2026 By Gwas No Comments on Tarot for Sword and Shield 2013
Tarot for Sword and Shield 2013
Ancient Sites

My second favourite method of divination, after dowsing, is now tarot card reading. I don’t use much of a methodology – I’ve never “learned” the cards, nor do I have any background in the original tarot card meanings.

We have been having a run of dry but cold weather. It almost felt like Spring was close at hand, and besides we couldn’t contain ourselves any longer. Some of us have already got quests to do, you know? I was on my quest to discover the Sword and Shield. At the Spring Equinox I had found … Read More “The Sword of Llyn Tegid 2013” »

When the weather has been dry for several days in England then it would be rude not to go out into the world and see if you can feel the forces of Nature at work. Not wanting to be rude, Kal and I gave a large part of our eating and drinking time over to … Read More “Alderley Edge reveals The Sword of Galahad” »

In this final part of my Spring Equinox 2013 story I reveal the reasons why I had been linking the four elemental sites around Llangollen. I am also shown why this link was important, and how it relates to my work with the energy form of Galahad this year. Ffynon Sara Only a few miles … Read More “Spring Equinox 2013 – Day of the Crow Part 5” »

It was the Spring Equinox, as the title suggests. Contrary to expectation it was freezing cold, and my idea about visiting at least three elevated sacred sites seemed even more foolhardy than it had done when it had first been “suggested” to me through a vision received at Dinas Bran in Llangollen. Would I prove … Read More “Spring Equinox 2013 – Day of the Crow Part 1” »

In the clear blue sky day of Imbolc this year the sight of Skiddaw mountain was a breath-taking, awe-inspiring experience.  The mountain formed the scenic backdrop for your next sacred site – a stone circle that we had never visited before. The circle is called Elva Plain stone circle near the village of Embleton just … Read More “Imbolc 2013 Part 3 – New Circle and New Guide” »

Well, what else could you call a church in a village called Bridekirk – “kirk” being the old word for “church”? It’s The Bride’s church!
