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” »

Churches and Temples, Trees, Visions

When walking a sacred path one is often (if not always) asked to walk on faith. Which is problematic for most people because we’re not brought up to nor are we (Darwinian) designed to, walk on the invisible that is. For example, one of our greatest assets is the ability to learn. Learning is useful … Read More “Testing the Universe part 1 of 2” »

Trees

There is a tree that I have been hoping to visit since I first heard of its antiquity – The Fortingall Yew. It’s not every day that I get to visit Scotland, and so while I was “passing through” I made a slight detour in order to seek this tree out. Actually I made one … Read More “The Vortex of The Fortingall Yew” »

I was looking forward to Imbolc with an anticipation that couldn’t be contained. What with such a fantastic start to last year I was expecting an equally fate-filled day. Our first stop was to be Lud’s Church, a place that has had some significance for me since my Knights Quest began. However Gwas had a Church … Read More “Imbolc 2012 Part 1 – The cleansing” »

I think that this was my first ever conscious experience with what we now (Winter 2010) call Energetic Shrouds. Inevitably it was in the company and guidance of that majestic The Ancient Yew that this experience or lesson unfolded. Gwas and I had arrived at the church late one evening and as usual I wandered … Read More “Energy exchange, a dangerous game” »

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” »
