For the Winter Solstice I asked my spirit guides where I should go. In a dream I was given the name of a place to look for – “Llansantffraid“. Now, this seemed like a clear message, but Wales has a few options when it comes to places named in that way. The first option was … Read More “Winter Solstice 2016 p1 – Illog The Well” »

They show the progress of my … Read More “Summary of the Year 2014 – Chris” »
