Pilgrimage From Cadiz to Santiago

  The Via de la Plata was calling us….! Several years ago we completed a long, arduous and complicated pagan pilgrimage over the course of two summers. It had been our first experience of ‘going on pilgrimage’ and we had no idea that we would end up addicted.   On that journey, as we sat at the ‘End of the World’ – on a promontory … Continue reading Pilgrimage From Cadiz to Santiago

Mystery and History on the Isles of Scilly…

We arrived on St Marys, the chief island of the Scillies. A long hill took us up through a bell-towered gateway onto The Garrison. Where a wonderful, though expensive campsite awaited us. Our first exploration took us by bicycle to Old Town. Which as the name implies was the main town before Hugh Town took over.

Come famous one, hard-shelled, scurrying, many-legged, throwing… Continue reading I Call to the Ancestors

A Welshman, an Englishwoman and a Thai lady cycle across South Wales…

Drawing a veil over this: a final entry in the ‘Doom Book’

We takes our magic where we finds it… The Grammar of Matter blog has given me a great deal of pleasure and much to ponder upon. I will miss it… As I walked across my lawn this morning a white apparition rose up before me – a few feet away an egret took flight from the stream, almost brushing me with its snow white feathers. … Continue reading Drawing a veil over this: a final entry in the ‘Doom Book’
