The Spirit of the Oaks: Receiving an Activation from Two Guardian Trees.

July 8, 2025July 8, 2025 / Ann Murphy / Leave a comment

Another trip to Itchen woods but this time we wanted to walk the old drove route that runs to Alresford, an ancient trackway and which allowed farmers to bring their stock to market. The images below show a walking route around these old droves. Some drove roads were Romano-British and some medieval. I know that the Dongas, the holloways coming into Winchester behind St. Catherine’s hill were ancient droves, but I don’t know how old this Alresford drove is.

It was a sunny-ish day, with a chill wind when the sun went in, but we began the walk not intending to do any energy work at all. We were simply going for a walk.

Or so we thought.

It wasn’t long before we passed, on our left, an old oak tree. Chris told me that on his previous walk here, he had noticed this tree too. That’s often how they call you. You notice them. They stand out from the crowd. You see the wood for the trees.

Naturally, we went to check it out.

Almost immediately, I had the impulse to walk around it anti-clockwise. A tree, or a site, will invite you to walk around it. It’s like a pull you can’t ignore. It does not come from your head but from your feeling. So, I walked around it three times. There was a dark sense here, a deeper energy, like we had stepped into some other space which was not as bright as the one we had just left. This was not familiar.

We then received the invitation to connect with the Heartwood symbol, a symbol both Malia and I received from a pine tree in Micheldever woods last October (2024). This symbol connects you to the heartwood of a tree, a heart to heart connection. I felt the impulse to raise my arms, as if I was a tree with branches. Chris followed suit. This brought our energy into the upper branches of the tree, as though we too were trees with our branches raised to the sky. The consciousness of a tree is in its branches and leaves, the crown of the tree. Raising our arms felt like we were greeting the tree on its level.

I often find this with trees. The energy shoots upwards to connect with it. The trunk of a tree is like our body but we think with our heads. The tree does too. It communicates through its branches and leaves. The wind moving in them is their way of telling us what they want us to know. But equally, we can sense their energy, once we become sensitive to them. They can feed us through through their trunks, as energetic sap, sharing their vitality with us.

This tree was like an sleepy man. (I’m surrounded by them). Chris received his customary tree-hug from the tree. I was given the instruction that now was time to make an essence. This was our first oak essence! I placed it on the ground between the roots.

The energy came down from the leaves and branches, through the trunk and flowed like a mini-waterfall into the bottle. It was sap but was the energy of the oak funneling down into the water in the bottle through the heartwood. It felt like an Enid Blyton story, and the Magic Faraway Tree story. The branches reach into other dimensions, or spheres, of reality and wisdom, and bring information from those dimensions down to our physical reality. Pulling it into this dimension, yet, still solidly rooted, solidly anchored in those dimensions.

Then, to our surprise, we were instructed to leave the essence bottle where it was, and to prepare for an attunement. So much energy came in, then I was given a symbol. This was to do with the oak tree and its interdimensionality and the ability to connect with the spheres. We held our arms up again, becoming the tree, our arms becoming branches, our bodies becoming tree trunks, heads and shoulders linking with the leaves and upper branches. Our fingers were the tiny twigs on the end of the smaller branches. When the wind blew, our arms waved like the branches, flowing with the flows of the wind. Then, when the wind stopped, the branches and leaves, our arms were still.

The energy flowed down from the branches until we were aware of our body as a tree-trunk and we brought our attention to the body/trunk where all the information from the crown of the tree flowed through the heart of the tree, to our hearts. Giving our hearts strength, being solidly anchored an rooted in tree-ness. I became aware that the entire tree was one energy, yet each part of the tree, its roots, its trunk, its branches and leaves play a different part. This energy of interconnectedness was the energy being anchored into our consciousness.

The strength of the tree was now our strength. We now had the ability to connect to the consciousness of the tree at its branches, its trunk and its roots, each part having a different function yet being part of the whole. Upper, middle and lower worlds. There is wisdom in each layer. (This became evident a few weeks later when we connected to the lower world). This is not the same as the three worlds of shamanic wisdom but about the energetic dimensions of trees. Although I think it is another aspect of it, too. This attunement gives you access to these three levels energetically.

The body played the same roles. The feet stand firmly on the earth; the body holds you strong, and holds, and supports the upper levels of the branches and the leaves. The upper branches filter knowledge and awareness from the collective unconscious, the thinking mind of the earth, bringing it down to earth where it then is anchored as memory. Like seaweed in the sea, it filters out what is not needed. Only bringing what is necessary down into physical life, so the darker aspects of the collective are not brought into being. All the rage and anger and denser emotions are filtered out. Only the useful information will be brought to earth and manifested.

All of this information and energy flowed into the essence, just as it flowed into us.

The energy spoke of taking time, allowing things to flow through, like the tree does. It doesn’t rush out to meet anything, but allows things to come to it, just as we did when we found it. The energy of flow was like harnessing the wind and rooting it in the earth, and no matter how much wind there was, it was always manageable. The oak has the strength to hold itself. Holding the balance. Allowing itself, and by extension us, to let that energy flow through.

Next, after all this, a gold crown was placed around Chris’s head, one around mine and one around the neck of the essence bottle. All three of us received these energy activations. It connected us to hold the power and communication from the crown of the tree and to being a channel for this power, but not holding onto it in the way humans hold onto it, but allowing it to move through us so we can do what is needed in the moment. With the wisdom of the Oak.

I then had to gift something to the tree, so I had some hazelnuts in my camera bag, (because that’s where you keep them, right?) and when I took the essence bottle up, I planted the hazelnut in its place. Just as Chris had been told, but we’d forgotten, by the Hawthorn on Magdalene Down. The entities of the trees know way more than we do. He had also been shown the crown in the royal oak. But we had no idea that we were about to meet one.

We walked on and came to another oak that felt like a very old lady. And she was old, but so wise. Once again, we were invited to make the heartwood connection with her, so we did as we were bid. Once we had made this connection, she told us to change position and face her, just as the Pines at Fleming Park had taught us to do, so the symbol came out the back of the heart chakra. And, just as the other oak had taught us only moments before, we were instructed to replicate what we had experienced with it. We raised our arms and became the energy of the trees, feeling the energy as wind in our branches and leaves. This moving air energy then flowed down through our fingers, our arms and into our body and into our roots.

Again, I had to put the essence bottle at her roots, and the feminine oak wisdom flowed down through this beautiful, old feminine oak tree and into the essence, filling the bottle with her wise solidity. There was something about Spring in this energy, specifically April and May, which is when we did this (26th May 2025). Her wisdom was the wisdom of age, old, still, knowing, trusting, having the experience of age. And she then placed her feminine crown of hawthorn and blackthorn around the neck of the bottle.

I felt an impulse to place my forehead against her bark, making a third eye connection. The third act in the sequence of this tree-connection. Chris was receiving info about the tree and how it never really dies because the acorns she sheds are part of her. They continue her life in another form. Then I had to wrap my arms around the tree, which is not my thing at all! I did check to make sure there was no-one else about it first. But this was a third eye attunement, a surrender somehow to not worrying about what she looks like. Her branches are bare, she is a haggard old lady, but she is still strong, majestic alive.

A beam of light came from the heartwood and entered our third eye where she then planted an acorn. Was this part of what Chris meant? All our chakras were attuned to her, through the third eye, and then out through the base into the earth. She did the same with the essence. Each tree gave its own activation, but there was a definite sequence to them. I gifted a hazelnut to this tree, burying it beneath where I had removed the essence bottle.

This activation was to the male wisdom of the oak and to the female wisdom. Each was distinct and yet they were paired. Part of each other. It was a very lovely activation and one I am looking forward to sharing.

Opening a portal of Light, Winchester Cathedral Grounds.

June 26, 2025June 14, 2025 / Ann Murphy / Leave a comment

This was an unexpected activation in the grounds of Winchester cathedral. We had been doing so much here over the past year and thought we were done, but no, turns out we weren’t.

We had gone to Kneaded, as usual, and decided to potter for a bit in the Cathedral Grounds. We were not feeling pulled to do anything in particular – until – just as we began to walk towards the Cathedral on the path from the Square, I saw a beam of solar light come in. I saw another one, a blue, like a column that needed to be anchored further along and then the pink column on the other side of the green. We were being instructed to create a triangle between the three. A portal energy.

From the solar/yellow pillar we walked a yellow line to the next blue pillar. From there, we walked a blue line to the pink column, and then returned to the yellow one, creating a pink line. The portal was now made up of three frequencies. Looking at the photo above, I see that the portal is over the cross-roads of the paths. That must mean something.

Once the triangle was complete, we were instructed to stand in the centre of it, which is where the paths cross. A large white feather appeared in the triangle, nearly filling the shape. The triangle was now three-dimensional, like a low pyramid. (We had created a pyramid energy recently in Avebury too).

In the same space as the white feather, a white column descended and a white flame ignited where it stood, in the centre of the pyramid, held by the three-fold energies of the pink, blue and gold/yellow pillars. Each of these energies work on different levels, but exist in the same space.

I reached up and brought down another energy. To my surprise it was a ladder! Like Jacob’s Ladder. It was about moving up levels, like an initiatic portal. An Ascension energy. In doing this, we had opened a channel of energy which anyone can access. Standing in the centre of this triangle, for anyone visiting Winchester, will move your frequency into ascension levels.

The space within the pyramid was now filled with a huge harp, whose sound frequencies were connected to the cathedral itself. It was connected to the sounds of nature; Elemental sounds. We were then shown a clear wine bottle. Both of us saw that. We realised, after a while, that it was one of the essences we had made and we needed to bring that here. Which would have to be on another day. We were told to bring a libation to this point. It was the White Dragon of Burley essence we had made in the New Forest.

As we didn’t have that essence with us we had to come back the following week.

Back in the grounds, with the essence, and holding the energy of the previous working, we continued. A Hathor energy came in. Chris was aware of a spiral energy, like a gold vortex. I poured some of the Burly Essence on the ground at the centre of the triangle/pyramid and we were then instructed to go into the Cathedral. The triangle needed to be connected to a point within it.

At the back of the Cathedral, where the Triple flame is anchored, we connected the white flame of the triangle/pyramid along with the white column, the white feather and the White Dragon. This acted as a balance between both points. When Nadia and I did the yellow column-anchoring on the south side of the cathedral, we were creating a balance between the masculine energies and the feminine. Now, with this white portal, the balance was creating a triad of energies between the DF (Divine Feminine) and DM (Divine Masculine) the Light of Ascension, the upper spiritual levels. Anybody who goes and stands in this pyramid and asks for the energies they need will be given exactly that.

We were told to go to the crypt next and call the serpent energies. The crypt holds the water energies, symbolised by the blue serpent. Here, the Hathor energies came in. Back in October 24, during a visit by Malia (who went through a week of initiations) we had also stood in the crypt. On that visit, the crypt was filled with the energy of a large blue female serpent who filled the space. She came right up to us and planted a mass of tiny serpents in our Centres (behind the navel). This was my first up-close experience of the blue serpent in this way; she usually lives in the water layer below the cathedral and I only ever see in her in the well in the crypt. It had been raining all year and the water table was high, so I Imagine this is why she had come.

I have been holding the baby serpents in my belly for months, knowing they would be used at some point, but not knowing when. Some of Malia’s ended up at the White Spring in Glastonbury. Shortly after this there was a big storm and we wondered if that is why this serpent mother had appeared when she did, so huge and powerful. Now, back in the crypt, some of these baby serpents were going back in. We have had little rain since winter, (this work was carried out after two months of little rain) so I imagine this is why they were going back. But not all of them, only two or three. The rest remain with me, held in my body as energy of a particular frequency. The serpent babies were both blue and green, water and vegetation. Returning the balance.

I then became aware of the pond at St Cross and it was saying to me about the balance of water and growing things. The green Dragon – that is the Cathedral – made its presence felt too. The green dragon is the energy of all living green things and because it resides, energetically within the cathedral, it changes the frequency of the stone building to make it resonate with nature’s energy. There is crystal in the stone of the cathedral, and crystal holds the memory of creation, along with the forces which originally formed the stone, so it is important that the building itself is in resonance with nature so that what is outside is also inside. Often, in buildings which do not resonate, there is a distinct difference in the feeling of being inside a building and being outside. The building materials cut off the connection to nature. It has something to do with the effect on the earth’s magnetic field. Human habitation sites become more magnetic over time, weirdly.

When I was doing archaeological field surveys we used a magnetometer. Before doing the survey we had to calibrate the instrument with the earth’s magnetic field. Then, with that as its baseline, any underground pits, buildings, ditches etc would show up as different to the magnetic field. Fired brick was often more magnetic due to iron inclusions in the fabric of the pot. Since knowing that, it explained why coming back into an urban area after being in nature for a while was so disorienting. When working with the natural forces, we are aligned to the earth’s magnetic field. But urban areas are not. Working with the green dragons seems to change that, naturalising the building materials, but so far I have only seen that happen with natural stone.

The things we don’t realise…

I have added an image from Google Earth to show you where the sites are, should you want to visit. Looking at the sites from an aerial perspective shows an alignment between the activated sites (if you ignore the green dragon icon which takes in the whole cathedral). On either end of that alignment there is a tree. Make of that what you will.

Keys and Gateways. Micheldever. 2025

June 12, 2025May 26, 2025 / Ann Murphy / 4 Comments

The bluebells are out and it was time to join the hordes of people going to see them in Micheldever woods. (Outside Winchester). Although, we weren’t going just to see the bluebells. We were going to visit the Banjo enclosure we had only recently discovered. Well, we did not discover it. It was discovered during an archaeological survey of the woods, but we only learned of it recently.

To get to that Banjo enclosure you have to go through the big one that is protected and as soon as we reached it, we were impulsed to go to the entrance of the banjo, down its ‘avenue’, to the energy point. All Banjos we have worked with have this point, either at the centre of the opening to the avenue or just below.

The point at the end of this avenue connects up to the Magenta layer. This is the Ruby, in the crystalline layer of the planet, and Love pours down into this point, and then into the Banjo which holds the rose energy of Feminine Love. Standing here, an image of the banjo came into my mind in its entirety, but I was shown that it was a key. The entire Banjo is a key in the landscape, opening up to another level. For this Banjo it opens up to the Ruby layer of Gaia’s emotional body, her love for humanity.

Each Banjo enclosure, or landscape key, opens to another dimension. And I don’t think that it is only these enclosures that are landscape keys, because I remember walking the mizmaze on St. Catherine’s Hill many years ago, and as I did the energy of the hill opened up. I had been ‘instructed’ to walk the maze and it was only as I came to the end of the walk, that I understood it was a key to the energy of the site. We have been working with that hill ever since.

So here we were with another key and this time we were making an essence of that energy. The ‘key’ created a reciprocal flow of energy. It opens to the other dimension but also allows the flow from that dimension into the Banjo and hence into the landscape. The banjo then acts as a womb, just like many hill-forts, holding energies. The essence of the Key also opens the user to being able to open other closed sites so they can then function as they were designed to. It puts the user in resonance, and the energy body then is the key too. So it works on multiple levels.

When I first began to work with Banjo Enclosures, Coldridge Banjo Enclosure was my key-opener. I was doing an archaeological survey of the Banjo and of the Roman villa site nearby (you’ll often find them close to each other) Once I had worked with that sacred site/settlement, I was able to work with all of them. Chris saw this key as a gold key, which indicated the frequency of gold. He also saw this key as a sound frequency, a note, which I was shown as a piano keyboard. Multiple sounds. The notes were also colours. Each ‘key’ on the piano corresponding to a colour.

For this Banjo, it was the Ruby Red. But also gold. Which are the two frequencies we have been seeing a lot lately! But there was also a blue energy present.

We left his point then and proceeded to the other Banjo. Every time we visit one of these places, we open to their energy more, and learn more each time. As we walked the trackway that cuts through the banjo I looked to my left and saw two tall trees within it. I immediately saw it was a gateway. But we were on the wrong side of it. We walked around to the other side of the trees. I was aware that as we walked we were walking from a small sphere of activity to a much larger one as though we were going to be expanding in some way. Moving into another reality. Moving out of the fish bowl, but we needed to pause before going through the gateway, taking a breather, so that when we stepped through we stepped through with awareness, with intention.

This is often how moving through an energetic gateway works. Often the gateway is formed of two trees. But not always. Once we become aware of them, and it only happens in the moment, we walk between them. We paused, then moved forward with intention. There is a sense of importance in that pause, that moment of knowing that when we walk through the energetic gateway, our vibration will be different and we will have initiated new events.

Chris felt that we would be expanding into Europe, into a bigger sphere of work, and travel. We have already done work in France, the U.S. and in Spain, and in Iceland, but this expansion was more than that. As if we would be working bigger, with more energy. There was also the sense of less, clearing everything unnecessary, honing things down. On the other side of the gateway, there was the impression of a castle, a place we would visit. It looked like the remains of one of its corner turrets. We would be going back into time. There was a crusader element to this, and a King Richard energy.

Stepping through we had to stop as we had moved through and into the bigger bubble. Yet, there was still a time of unsurety before we found our way to the right road. It might take us time, but we would find our way in this new terrain. A whole new path. It felt medieval to Chris.

Once back ‘on track’ we headed towards the smaller, more obscure Banjo enclosure further down the trackway (the track cuts right through it). From a distance, we were aware of two beings waiting for us. To my mind’s eye, they looked like an old bearded man, and a younger teenage girl but dressed in clothes like people in Lord of the Rings. We often see them like this. It’s how the unconscious mind clothes them, so that we recognise their origin.

As we approached, they were giving us the impression of a letter, a communication. This letter was something we needed to take to someone else, or someplace else. France/Spain came in. The Bronze age settlements there. Getting to the site the energy filled us, like an umbilical connection, drawing us deeper into its sphere of energy. This was like the site’s influence but it was contained. As you walk through the outer membrane, and into the sphere, you resonate with the site’s energy and can access the knowledge there. This was a new experience. Maybe because it was a small Banjo enclosure.

We stepped into the trees to the left which felt Elven and beautiful, as though we had stepped into a fairy realm. The energy of this Banjo was the same as the one in Itchen woods. But it was only when we were in the trees that it felt so fairy-ish. Now it was time to communicate with the two spirit people who had drawn us there. The man instructed me to open the essence we had made in the avenue of the big banjo and when I did he dipped a letter into it. A written letter. This was to infuse the letter, which was sealed, with the energy keys of the big Banjo. It reminded me of people in the past infusing their letter with perfume to remind the recipient of the writer’s essence. When we, or anyone else who uses the essence, visits another site the energies there will recognise it.

There is some kind of communication then between both sites. It felt like Carnac, in France. Some correspondence between the two places. Next, the young girl placed some Herkimer diamonds in the bottle. These Herkimer diamonds were filled with her light, her soft supportive, gentle energy, so that we move into these ancient spaces with a gentleness and respect for both the site, and the beings who inhabit them. The Man then gave us his staff, so that we go with his authority. We are working on behalf of these ancestral people so we go with his energy. The staff is also used to open energy and to send pulses out into the landscape. It will ensure that our work is accepted in these foreign places. It gives us access to these places. Like envoys.

Then, the man showed us our transport. Ponies with side packs for travelling. But it was telling us to take what we need, to be prepared for a long journey. We will need the transport to be able to visit many places. He then gave us a very big smoky quartz crystal point to take and he put it in the side pack of one horse. In another pack, on a second horse, he placed a gold disc. A CD with information on it. One of us will carry the crystal energy and one will carry the information. A road-trip, he called it.

Chris then noticed that the Banjo was bordered by a few oak trees, (which became important a few weeks later). We were then drawn to a tree in the centre of the clearing and we had to activate it by walking around it once anti-clockwise and then standing with our backs to it and activating the Heartwood symbol. We’ve been using this symbol a lot! We received a wonderful infusion of love, appreciation and gratitude; the tree acknowledging our connection to it and gifting us with lovely heart-felt energies.

St. Cross Hospital.

May 15, 2025May 11, 2025 / Ann Murphy / 3 Comments

St Cross Hospital in Winchester was founded by Bishop Henry du Blois and is one of our other favourite places to do energy work. Lately, we have been called there more frequently. A number of people have worked with this site over the years, but for those of us who do the Gaia Method, we are anchoring energetic templates for future generations, and clearing out older ones that are no longer needed. Ones that were set out to suit an earlier energetic need for change.

This series of activations is connected to the ones at Winchester Cathedral. Again, over the years we were called to do adjustments, anchorings of specific energy, as though we were preparing for a more focused energywork. And this Spring it has certainly been focused. There are timings here too. The activations happen when they are supposed to, although we don’t know their purpose, or how the timing is important. But each of us is drawn to the sites to do the necessary work.

This Spring has been particularly busy. From the Winter Solstice to around May the first, is my busiest time of the year. But this year has been very different, and activations have been happening every week. It feels like there is some important reason for this. Things hotting up; things opening; the time is NOW, sort of feeling. There is a sense of urgency, of getting in there because the energies are opening in a way they have not up until now. The next few years will show us why, I have no doubt.

This Spring, we were drawn to St Cross again because their cafe in the Men’s Hall is now open every day. Homemade cakes, yes please! And gluten-free. While we were in the cafe, I was told that we needed to do some work with the energy at the central green where we had anchored a pillar before, during one of their wonderful summer fetes. This time, we had to bring in another energy.

At the central green, I saw the flame we needed to anchor. It was the yellow flame. We were impulsed to walk around the green once, anti-clockwise, and as we did the flame grew, as if the walking was turning it up. This seems to be theme as Nadia and I did the same with the green on the south-side of Winchester cathedral.

Reaching our starting point again, there was nothing else to do, so next we were drawn to the garden with its beautiful tree and large pond – which is what we had to activate. So around we went, anti-clockwise, after a brief conversation with the many carp swimming around and hoping for a feed.

Walking around the pond, I was aware of it being a counterbalance to the flame in the green, joining them together like two spheres. Fire and water in balance. The flame is on one template, one layer, and the water is on another. Each has their own energetic purpose within creation.

Once again, having reached our starting point, we were instructed to throw something metallic into the water. The only metal we had was a coin each, so standing at the pond’s edge, together we threw the coins in, not feeling entirely comfortable. Next, I saw a string of pearls being draped from the left side of the pond to the right, the central pearls dipping into the water.

And that was all we needed to do, that day.

The following week, we sat in Kneaded having our breakfast and I was aware that we needed to go back to St. Cross but this time we needed to make an essence. As we sat there, feeling that what we needed to do in St, Cross was the same as what we had done at Winchester cathedral, I became aware of a disc being anchored around my body, horizontally, like a CD. Two more then anchored, one above this, at my heart, and one below, at my hips. I saw that Chris was being anchored with his three discs, which felt like templates of information. The discs were transparent and had silver and gold light language etched on them. This was the information needed.

The lower disc on my body was about water, the top one was about the trees, and the middle one was about flames, dragons and energy lines. Three tiers of energy information.

When we got to St. Cross, before we entered, we were drawn to the gate leading into the water meadows. St. Catherine’s Hill stood prominently in the distance, looking down over us. This was where we had to make our essence. Just prior to this, walking towards the gate, I felt a solar ray activate around me. At the gate, facing the hill, I held the bottle between us, aware that the three discs of information we each held were joined, like a Vesica Piscis. The bottle was in the space between, so that it received all six templates of information. It is an essence of how to work with sacred Christian sites.

The essence was also taking in the beautiful solar light and as we stood there, the sky was filled with an immensely beautiful female energy-being in the atmosphere, shining down like the sun. A solar elemental. She held the solar energy rays in her field and it was the energy of ‘presence’ and deep peace, and connection. The message was to stop, and tune into the Now. That feminine energy flowed down into my lower chakra, to centre and ground me, yet it felt beautiful and peaceful. It brought me back to an appreciation of the present, being present to all that was around me. All the sounds, the calm, the sun, the water, the birds. It all went into the essence. I could have stayed there all day, but we had other work to do. A Mary energy then appeared and she put a tuning fork into the water of the essence. This made sense later.

Chris had a visit from a man in black who gave him a bunch of keys. But as often happens, when you are given keys, you don’t necessarily know what they are for. They give you the ability to open energies in other places, places the Beings that give the keys know you will visit, even if you don’t!

In the hospital grounds, this time we had to work within the chapel. There are three little chapels within this building, and in each one there is a flame, or two. Each person anchors the energy they are told to anchor. In the first chapel, there was a flame of blue, which I had seen last week. I stood in the flame and it was a flame of Michael. I was expecting it to be feminine! Even though we had put there a few years previously but at the time did not know what it was.

We moved into the central chapel with its yellow-gold flame, larger than the blue. I already knew there was a Magenta flame in the lady chapel to the left as we had put it there years before. (Eartha also anchored a pink and gold flame during her work there. Another layer of energy). I stood within the yellow flame, holding the bottle open, and a string of diamonds descended into the center of it., down through the flame. I could see no end to this string. Then the bells of the church tolled eleven times, sending its energy into the bottle. This was the tuning fork sounds we had seen Mary putting in. We stayed, focusing on the sounds as if they were coming from tuning forks, letting their resonance be anchored in the bottle and in our bodies, until they faded away.

Heading next to the Lady chapel, I heard The gospel of st Mary. The saint being the significant word. To people in the Church of England, Mary is known as a saint, but in the Catholic church she is known as the Mother of God. So to whom were they referring? Perhaps, as Chris suggested, it is Mary Magdalene? She is known for having written a gospel.

In the third chapel, it didn’t feel like I had to add energy here, but then another energy came. It was about silence. The energy here was one of pure peace. A sense of retreat and quiet. This is the energy that was placed in the essence. Stillness, retreat from the cares of the world. A connection to the Divine-self. Again, I could have stayed all day in this lovely, monastic, retreat energy.

We burned some candles, as we always do. Me, for all the parents around the world, Chris, for all those people who could not burn one of their own. I felt myself raising the essence bottle, as if I was blessing the wine at mass, holding it up to the divine energy.

And that was that. Another lovely morning and another useful essence.

Winchester Cathedral Activation.

April 21, 2025April 21, 2025 / Ann Murphy / Leave a comment

After my session at the chiropractors, I went to Kneaded cafe, as usual, to meet Nadia and have a hot chocolate. When I got to the first floor, where the flame is anchored, I had full body chills and I felt my energy rising which was not my normal reaction to energy. I sat down – tuning into the flame I had anchored there previously – to see what was going on. The flame was still there, having stabilised between yellow and magenta, but nothing significant was happening that could have made me react so strongly to the energy. Then I heard clairaudiently, ‘We require your assistance.’ Aha! I sent my consciousness to the origin of the WE who were communicating, and asked where they needed it. My attention was drawn to the cloisters of the Cathedral.

When Nadia and I were ready, we pottered over to the cloisters on the south side of the cathedral. I could feel the energy, and thought initially it was in the centre of the green, where they have the Christmas market, but we went to the little garden of the dean to make sure. The energy seemed to be everywhere and it was difficult to define its centre. It was also very cold and Nadia was really feeling it.

There was nothing in the garden, but I became aware of the energy of a man behind me. He was dressed in what seemed to be an old fashioned black cape, like the ones worn during the Tudor period. Yet, he came across as both a religious person and also somehow, political, as though he was person of some importance. He made me feel the direction leading back to the grassy area so we followed his instructions.

We stood with our backs to the cloister pillars, just at the edge of the newly seeded open area, and I saw a column of energy descend into the centre. We were told to walk clockwise around the area and to open up a yellow line around it which happened as we walked, like a trail of yellow. The line was about a foot wide and glowing a golden-yellow light. When we reached the other side of the green, at the midway point, we began to experience the familiar energies of opening. These feel like tingles on different parts of the head and a feeling not unlike mild anxiety or excitement. We both experienced the same sensations. Having completed the circuit, I was told to do two more circuits and this time to walk the pink and the blue lines. The pink one was the first line, and, again, at the opposite side of the green, we began to feel the same energies we had felt on the first round. But at the side where the south door was, at the three o’ Clock position – if you think of it like a clock-face – it suddenly felt like we had descended five steps into another layer.

The weird thing was it literally felt as though we had walked five steps which led downwards. We could see them clearly, made of stone, and old, like going down into a cellar. On this older level we once again reached our start point and began the blue line walk. It appeared that the yellow band of energy was separate to the blue and pink, so that as we were walking around we kept the pink and blue line in our minds, understanding that they worked together on the same level, but deeper than the yellow.

Once we had completed the three rounds and had returned to the starting position, I saw a large gold chalice appear in the column of light, the same way the chalice appeared in the Memory tree a few weeks ago. Yet, I was aware that this area was more masculine, and this anchoring was to balance the feminine flames in the cathedral, holding it all in balance. Outdoors, this energy was masculine, and indoors, it was feminine.

That seemed to complete this work so we pottered around the Deanery to see if the bookshop was open. It wasn’t, but I began to feel a pull towards another patch of grass close to the Pilgrim’s School. We walked to the centre of that, and I put an etheric gold pin into the ground between my feet. These pins look like very big thumbtacks and they appear in the mind’s eyes when something needs to be anchored. We do not have control over this but it is the energy’s way of telling us that something needs to be anchored. I saw a line being held by this pin but had no idea where it was going to or coming form. I had not been aware of taking a line anywhere. So we left the pin in the ground and went over to the gorgeous tree growing against a brick wall.

It was a Southern Magnolia, as it turned out, like the one at the other side of the cathedral where the gorgeous garden is and the pond with the bust of Osiris. The branches of this tree hung over the ground and its leaves were large and deep green. We ducked to get under the canopy and as soon as we passed some kind of threshold, the energy came up through our feet like an electrical charge. It was coming from the roots. I have not experienced this before. We made our way over to the tree trunks and we each leaned against one of the five large trunks that seemed to grow from the one place. I was told to connect a triangle between my heart, Nadia’s heart and then to the heart of the tree so that we were all three connected, heart-wise.

The tree began to communicate with us about its leaves which it was using as an analogy, speaking of it as though they were equivalent to our idea of money. It spoke about how it did not worry when some of its leaves fell to the ground, or died, because it knew there were plenty more. The tree itself produced the leaves so it knew it could replace the dead ones that now lay on the floor beneath the canopy. The tree held complete trust in nature and its own ability to grow new leaves. It no sense of fear, no worry about never being able to produce any more leaves. It knew that leaves would die, but more would always grow. It was such a lovely learning and I was aware of feeling that same sense of trust. Letting go of fear and trusting that we could always grow more leaves. The tree told Nadia to take one of its leaves as an energetic connection to the tree and its belief in abundance and trust.

Afterwards, we walked towards town but as we approached the high street, I became aware of a solar line coming from St Giles’s Hill and running up the high street all the way to the top, through the West Gate. This is the first time I have seen a solar line like this running up the high street, just beneath the ground, running from east to West. When we reached it, I attached an energetic carabiner to it, which connected another gold line from the pin close to the Magnolia tree. So that’s what that was for! I have used these energetic carabiners before, but not for quite a few years. The last time I remember using one was when we were connecting Itchen banjo to St. Catherine’s Hill and other places. It simply connects one line to another. And just like a carabiner attaches to a rope or cable, it allows the connecting line to move up and down the main line. I’m not sure why, but that’s just what appears.

Again, I thought all the work was finished, so we wandered over to the Brooks centre where I was parked. As we approached, I saw a gold flame on the level of the kid’s play area on one of the floors which is on our current level. On the basement floor, which was so much older, historically, we anchored a blue flame, immediately beneath the yellow flame two stories up.

When we are anchoring flames, we are anchoring on older sacred places. They are not randomly placed. In our time frame, or dimension, we see physical buildings, shops, parks, supermarkets, etc. but when we are doing this work we are acting on other timelines, other ‘spaces’. We learn to trust the past and its layers. This Winter/Spring has been a different energy-working altogether. Things we have done in the past came back to be done again, tools we once used, re-emerged. It’s been an intense time.

Return to Flowerdown Disc Barrow

April 7, 2025April 21, 2025 / Ann Murphy / Leave a comment

Chris and I went up to Flowerdown Barrow, Littleton, today to do some energywork, and to make an essence. Chris brought his dowsing rods so we could check out the energies of the barrow once we were finished the work we had to do. As usual, we never know what it going to happen, but this visit was very interesting. Many years ago, on our first ever visit to this barrow, I received channelling that said this barrow was one of the most important sacred sites in the area, a place where people came, annually, to celebrate and hold sacred ceremony. It held the balance of the grid, providing much needed fertility to the area and distributing the cosmic energies into the energy-lines in the earth.

We stopped first at the remains of a large sarson menhir, which came originally for a field a kilometer away, in Dean Down Drove. Again this was originally part of the sacred landscape and would have been used as an anchor for the above-mentioned energies. It has some interesting features and sparkles with tiny crystals, which, it was impossible to capture.

I placed the bottle on the stone and Chris was ‘told’ to walk around the stone three times, in a sunwise direction. Yet, he felt that this stone was more lunar than solar and still it needed to be anticlockwise, in the direction of the sun’s movement, which is the masculine-opening direction. When he had finished, he saw that sparkles of lunar-light were rising up from the stone in a wave-like pattern, but again they were linked to the moon. He was aware of a lunar goddess, but with an Egyptian flavour, and she was dressed in a lilac-blue dress. She was related to the Full Moon. This is the preliminary energy that went into the essence bottle. More happened later in the main disc barrow.

(Side note: When we are doing earthwork, when doing it with other people, we can often see images of people, just as Chris did with this Egyptian lunar goddess. Sometimes, these ‘people’ represent real people and the energies they are bringing or working with. As soon as Chris mentioned the Lunar feminine, I knew he was seeing a part of me and the energy I am bringing to this work, in this moment. It became clearer when we began working on the disc barrow. Sometimes, people will appear to Chris and I know who they are because I have just given them a particular energy which Chris is picking up on, as will become clear in the next blog. Once, when we were working in Hook, in Co. Wexford, I was doing the energy work on the shore and Chris reported seeing a druid with his arms raised to the sea calling the energy, which is what I was doing. But I was not speaking, so Chris had no idea, thinking he was seeing a spirit person, or guardian, doing the work. The more you work with energy, in these dimensions, the more you begin to recognise another person’s energy as different to the true spirit guardian of a place. The guise you are seen in holds information however. In that case, I was working as the druids worked, calling in the elemental and the waves. At the barrow, I was obviously utilising energy from my Egyptian training with the moon, even though I have no conscious memory of that).

Back to today: When Chris walked around the stone, clockwise, on the third round he suddenly felt a shift that made him feel dizzy. (I had the same experience on our next visit, having done the same). He had shifted energetically to be in tune with the necessary energy level of the site. His feeling was that this stone was connected to lunar cycles and ceremony, which would explain why we never experienced energy from this stone before. it was active only at certain times, as if it released energy only at those times.

This lovely sparkly lunar energy went into the bottle, which I had placed on the stone and then an apple went in to. Apples represent the knowledge of the Divine Feminine. This part of the process was finished so we proceeded to the main barrow only having to walk once anticlockwise around the smaller one which lay between the Sarsen stone and the disc barrow. As we walked towards the smaller one, we were both aware of feeling the stone’s original position in the farm where it was taken from, half a kilometer away. It had been a satellite stone but removed by the farmer to the museum in Winchester and then placed here at the barrows. It was as if the stone had left an energy memory in its original position and was letting us connect to that.

Standing on the outer bank of the barrow, I was instructed to place the essence in the centre of the barrow itself. Next, we were told that Chris had to walk sunwise, the masculine solar direction, around the barrow bank. While I had to walk anticlockwise in the feminine direction. Three times we had to walk, Chris walking a sunline and me walking a lunar line. These looked like a band of yellow light, and a band of white light, each flowing in the opposite direction. We each did three rounds, at the same time, meeting at the same point each time. It reminded me of work I did at Castlerigg, in Cumbria with my friend Cheryl, five years ago. That was also to do with opening time, but I did not understand that at the time. (I’ll write about that if i ever find the time!)

Once we had done the three rounds, we stood in the centre of the barrow, where I had put the bottle. The energies of the energy lines we had walked went into the bottle. Chris said that the yellow solar line he was leaving behind him as he walked, looked like a wavy yellow curtain that was higher in come places than others. for him it was like sound waves. It was only when I was replaying the recording that I realised I had been singing quietly to myself as I did my rounds. Did that have an effect on the energies we anchored, I wonder?

Once this work had been completed it was time to focus on the essence. The bottle of water remained in the centre of the barrow while we had done all the walking, so it was already primed with whatever energies we were activating.

I saw a beam of sunlight move down and into the bottle of water and then saw the Brigit cloak laying over the site, following the contours like a layer of emerald green energy. Then I became completely distracted by somebody’s rather clever wind turbine. It was on their house and looked like some kind of vortex. I’m easily distracted! But the layering had happened anyway.

The emerald energy of the cloak acts as both a layering of that energy, holding the site at that frequency. The emerald green, of course is a clue too, as it is the crystalline energy of all growing things, that lovely emerald of trees and plants, the emerald layer of the Mother’s crystalline field. The cloak protects the area, keeping it flowing with energy and under the Goddess’s protection. (For those of you who hold the Brigit cloak/mantle in your energy-field, you too are under her protection and receive her emerald nurturing).

The solar beam was a thin golden thread and it made the sparkles from the stone’s energy, already in the water, even more vibrant, enlivening them. Chris was aware of a vortex-like cone drawing the energy into the bottle, concentrating it. Then we were told to walk around the bottle in a smaller circle, again Chris going in the sunwise direction, and me going in an anti-clockwise direction. It was while we were walking these smaller rounds that I realised we were working with cycles of time. The three larger rounds, around the outside of the barrow, related to the solar year, one round per year. The smaller rounds in the centre represented the moon cycles, lunar months. I still don’t actually know what that means, but to a part of me, it makes some kind of sense.

I was very aware of the significance of doing the rounds in sets of three, however. Six on the outside of the barrow, large circles, (years? Ages) and six inside, shorter ones, like phases of the moon. Three walked by Chris, and three walked by me. I kept thinking: 3.6.9.12. Cycles, years, days, weeks, months. The common denominator was obviously three. Did the three outer rings signify ages? And the smaller inner rings shorter periods of time? I don’t know. But it meant something.

Now the lunar light, from the smaller circles went into the bottle. Solar, and lunar, time. A huge green crystalline dragon appeared then, a translucent sea-green colour, and it put three of its crystalline tears in the essence, straight from his eyes. Crystal teardrops. It felt like a kind of dragon healing, healing sadness, and then Chris reminded me of the tears of the phoenix in Harry Potter and how they healed wounds created by the basilisk. (He loves Harry Potter).

Next three teardrops from the Obsidian dragon also went into the essence, but this time it was about healing really deep grief, things that are so deeply entrenched that they need particular help. Healing the depths, trauma, loss, etc. The harder-to-get-to stuff. Once again, we were struck by the significance of the number Three.

Chris had brought his dowsing rods to dowse how the energies looked in the barrow. They spiraled out from the centre, occasionally becoming smaller vortices, and then continuing. But they spiraled out in a serpentine fashion, the line wavy rather than straight. But this only happened the further out the spiral Chris walked so the serpent line really began close to the edge of the barrow, close to the ditch.

At one point, while I was still standing in the centre of the barrow, my guides suggested I focus on bringing in a stronger solar ray and then to watch what happened. I said nothing to Chris, but did what they suggested. I visualised the strong ray entering the centre of the barrow and saw it radiate out through the lines. Immediately, Chris began to pick up many more vortices in the line he had already dowsed and which had been just a wavy line before I sent the solar light out. It was as though the solar light created a change in the pattern of light travelling through the main spiral. It reminded me of the patterns carved into the stones of Newgrange and Knowth, in Ireland.

This was all we needed to do here, but last year, when my guides told me to bring Chris here they also said we should go to The Running Horse pub at the other end of Littleton. I felt there was something underneath the pub, an energy point or something. It had taken us a year to get to this so we followed last year’s instructions and went for a coffee, and a rather delicious raspberry and rose soft drink! We did not detect anything of an energetic nature but as we were leaving, walking across the carpark, Chris bent to pick something up. It was a large piece of a jigsaw puzzle. When he turned it over it had the number Three printed on it.

I love this work!

If you are interested in the essence you can find it here.

Spring Flames.

March 28, 2025March 6, 2025 / Ann Murphy / Leave a comment

January and February were very quiet months, an ebbing of my creative flow. But healing opportunities took me into Winchester twice a week and so I was able to do energywork on both those days. It was light, and very healing, and the only work I did for those two months. March has brought a renewal of energy which, as usual, feels like I have so much to share I don’t have enough time to do it all. But, I’m pacing myself. This is usually how it works for me, but this time there was something else going on, something in terms of the energies of the planet and the collective unconscious that I had to trust the shielding my guides were giving me. I could not access very much of anything of a higher vibration and it seemed as though my guides had gone on holiday. I was still able to work, and do readings, however, but earthwork suddenly became very narrow in its focus.

I had not expected to be doing anything except meeting friends for breakfast after my chiropractic sessions where I was recalibrating my physical body, and central nervous system. It has been a very physically shifting time, for many. There are huge shifts around what we put on and in our bodies. I finally managed to kick caffeine and have changed all my shampoos and face-creams to chemical-free. It felt important to get back to an as natural way of living as possible. I have also been having some wonderful healing sessions with Eve King, from Christchurch and Robin Landsong from Mt. Shasta. Both are ongoing. To move into the next level, as many of us are doing, I needed to clear some older, deeper wounds and patterns of belief. The flamework I ended up doing, was very much part of that clearing.

Old photo of the Buttercross, and site of the palace. The white building on the right is Kneaded.

All of this past two month’s work was carried out in Winchester, mainly in the Cathedral but also in Kneaded cafe, which is built on what used to be William the Conquerer’s palace. This included St Lawrence’s church, which is built on what used to be the chapel of the palace. The first flame was in Kneaded cafe. I had only gone for breakfast, choosing that cafe because my daughter’s boyfriend manages it and he too is a Gaia Method healer and has a lovely connection to the earth.

The bathroom in Kneaded is on the top floor and in the hall outside, I anchored a white flame. These flames are often on upper levels of a building and it could have been here because it was beside st Lawrence’s church. It also felt like the flame would cleanse that layer of energy.

Two weeks later, I met Nef for breakfast, and while I waited for her, I saw the Brigit Flame anchor in front of what was once an open fire. This flame was yellow and I saw the Was sceptre move through it and up through the white flame upstairs. The top of the sceptre held the energy, like a hook, the bottom then moved down to the floor beneath, through a modern manhole on the ground floor. It then continued moving through layers of time. I could see it move through Elizabethan England, through the filth of medieval Winchester, the old sewer systems, then roman layers, and so on, until the sceptre reached the time when Winchester was not inhabited, but was an open flood plain with small branches of the river Itchen flowing through it. The sceptre continued to the bedrock, but I was aware that the energy that remained was the beautiful, pristine flood plain. That was the energy level Winchester needed, once it had cleared the other historic layers and all the emotions that lie there.

When I told the manager what I had done, the following Friday, he looked surprised but also pleased. He told me that he had been standing downstairs, behind the counter, when he suddenly felt that he was standing in a beautifully clear space in nature and that this felt like the purity of nature without any human interference. It was lovely for me to hear too, and I realised that this is what anchoring into this part of the past was about. It would bring some of that pure nature back into present reality. But first it would have to clear the other layers that remained within the collective unconscious of Winchester. Anchoring into the bedrock has another meaning. Not only is it going back to the physical past, but also the healing could go no further. Hitting bedrock means that are no more layers to clear.

Because the flames are both cleansing, and energising, wherever they are anchored they are removing denser energies that still affect the thinking of those living there. They are not aware of it, of course. It moves society in particular directions and their souls are drawn to the place became they have matching frequencies. Much the same as when we are healing our own emotional layers, and associated beliefs, we need to heal our collective layers.

Back to the day with Nef however, (the 24th January 25) when she came, we had breakfast and we both felt a pulling sensation, and knew that we had to go into St. Lawrence’s church. This often happens, when we both get the same feeling. It is good confirmation when you are still learning to trust your senses, although she has been doing this for many years.

In St. Lawrence’s church we planted another flame, this time it was Blue and contained the frequency of the Mother of Heaven, the Cosmic Mary. This flame lies within a band of gold on the floor, which holds the frequency of it in place on that level. Gold bands are often seen around a flame, holding it at a certain level, like adjusting the flame on a gas cooker. The band holds that frequency so it remains giving out its energy at that level. It does not fluctuate.

Standing in the flame, I saw myself pushing a large gold pin into the ground and attaching a gold line of light. This is how we create lines of force between places. They are then connected on that layer and feed each other or are held in a certain focus, nearly as twin flames.

We then felt the pull to the cathedral, so we walked down the tree-lined flagstone pavement to the cathedral, aware that we were creating a connection between the church-flame and the Cathedral. Inside the cathedral felt full of sunlight. The art around the walls was yellow and orange and it felt warm and welcoming. We lit our candles, as usual, sending healing to all those places experiencing trauma and also to people we knew and then went to stand before the high altar.

We each did our own healing here, standing on the step. My attention was drawn to the well beneath the altar and my internal connection went down into the water and, like a hose, pulled up the water, which became blue serpents, filling my womb. This is my second experience of this happening, The first time it happened was in the crypt with Malia (of which I will write when the time is right). The blue serpents are connected to the waters of the earth and to the storms and rain. It has been raining so much this past year that I’m guessing this is why the water serpents are showing up.

Next, we went to the Lady Chapel, but I was feeling two points, so Nef went to the three-flame point, by St Swithin’s tomb, and I went into the chapel. There, I anchored a yellow flame which was a flame of wheat dedicated to the energy of Demeter. I was aware of a light-being standing behind me with her hands on my head. I planted the gold pin in the ground between my feet, anchoring the blue flame of Mary with this one of Demeter. Two goddesses, but each from a different culture and time.

Each of these flames are connected to the Triple flame, where Nef was standing. They are a portion of the triple-flame which burns brightly in the cathedral. But it was interesting that these two flames were of a completely different vibration, more specific in what they were bringing to the cathedral, and to St. Lawrence’s. The Kneaded flames were much more related to emotional and time-line clearing.

Each time I returned to the cafe, I could see the colour of the Brigit flame, which is yellow, changing. It was slowly becoming magenta. One day, it was completely magenta. Then, over the days it began to change to a teal green. Again, these are all flame colours I am familiar with, but I have never seen them change frequency like this. On following visits, the flame was changing back to magenta again, and now it has remained stable with a yellow centre and a magenta outline. This brings the energy of love and bright optimism.

The following visit I made with Nef, (24th January 25) not knowing what to expect as usual, we got to the cathedral to find it all different. Now it was not all sunny and warm but all watery. Three sperm whale models were suspended from the ceiling and blue hangings hung from the pillars on either side of the aisle. The song of the sperm whale filled the cathedral.

We wandered for a while, listening to the sounds of the whales clicking and singing. It felt amazing to be in the cathedral with this sound everywhere and the changing colours of blue and green. We went to the third chakra point along the central aisle and tuned into what was happening. The clicks of the whales were in my bones, each click touching something in my body, opening something. I was told that my body holds the thought that it is evil, that physicality is evil, and this comes from catholic beliefs I did not even know were there. They showed me the ‘Devil’ from the Church in Rennes le Chateau, who is really the energy of the physical world. The sound was clearing out pockets of these beliefs from my body, around the demonisation of physical life, lust, etc. The belief that physical life is wrong and that natural physical things are wrong too. The belief was in my bones. I wondered later why it was that particular image from Rennes le Chateau that was the image shown to me. Past life connection possibly? I was brought up a catholic so there are plenty of devil images my unconscious mind could have chosen to show me to represent this old religious belief. Why did it show that particular one? I was aware that the belief was not one of my own but one imposed on me. I am aware of one traumatic lifetime where this happened, but maybe it was not the first time.

This whole experience was beautiful. We both felt as though we were moving through the ocean, walking in the water with the whales, perfectly at home there. I was also aware that the stones on the floor of the cathedral are filled with shell fossils. So much of this building contains the energy of the historical sea.

My next earthwork visit to the cathedral was with Chris, although the previous visit was with Nadia where she was attuned to the energy matrix of the cathedral. We stood on the point of the triple flame, which is blue, pink and gold. The blue flame filled our energy fields and we received information about the spiritual understanding of what was happening in the Middle East. They said that what is happening in Palestine is the completion of a 2.000 year cycle and that all people were fully aware, before birth, of what they were being born into (My guides had already told me twenty five years ago that this conflict was going to come).

The Zionists were playing the part of the aggressor, giving the Palestinian people the opportunity to complete what they needed to complete, enmasse. Now, in the 3-d world, both sides are completely unaware that this is the drama they are playing out, and there are other levels involved too. But from their Soul perspective, they understand. (So many people, individually, are also clearing up old cycles in the last couple of years, and so we are doing the same, collectively). From our Soul level of understanding, we do things with full knowledge, and awareness, but from our personality level, we completely forget and naturally we identify with this physical reality and our survival. I have to constantly remind myself that the ‘reality’ we see is not the true reality.

But, the reason I have posted this particular article was that we were also told that what is happening in the Middle East would have a ripple effect on Christian beliefs too. Christianity was born in the Middle East and whatever happens there, affects everyone, from all three western faiths. But specifically, we were told, the Christian faith. All three religions have, historically, been both aggressor and victim and, at the point of a sword, all three religions have been persecuted for their faith – by one of the other faiths. They have all acted in ways which were completely ungodly and yet used God as their excuse, and so it continues. But all lessons learned are learned from a Soul level.

We are clearing up karmic/soul lessons, and what is happening is part of that. It doesn’t make it any easier, but the blue flame of Peace helps us to hold that soul level awareness that all is not as it seems. We are moving into a new level of development, collectively and individually. Naturally, the personality side of me struggles with what I see happening in the world, but the Soul part of me tells that all is simply a theatre, a drama we are enacting and that all we can do is share our peace, and our hope that humanity learns the lessons, and turns instead to to compassion and thoughts of healing. (I hesitated to share this message, because I am so aware that few people are aware of the nature and reality of the Soul, but, it also felt important. Because there is something we can do).

So it’s been a busy flame-time, and I’m not sure it is finished yet. But this part of the work laid the groundwork for the tree work that followed and the connection to the Obsidian dragon. Everything happens in divine timing.

Old Winchester Hill. Green Dragons, Merkabas and an Essence. 20th June 2024 Prt One.

July 1, 2024June 16, 2025 / Ann Murphy / 2 Comments

For this year’s Summer Solstice, we were ‘told’ to go to Old Winchester Hill. This is an Iron Age Hillfort with a Neolithic past (4000 bc to just before the Roman settlement of Britain). Although it has a Neolithic history, it was not settled until the Bronze Age – which is when the Mother was venerated along with the sun as Father. We have not worked with this site for over fifteen years but we were told to go and ‘ramp it up’. I received impression that there was a merkaba above the site but when we got there we discovered there was not one, but two, side by side. Somebody has been busy over the years.

Walking along the path to the hillfort,at a certain point, we became aware of the energetic forcefield. The margins of the site’s energy. I saw it as a white circle around the site and Chris saw it as a dome. The dome is a protective energy placed above the site to contain energy. In this case the dome was just under a kilometer in diameter. In southern England, where the land is chalk, ramparts and rings would have been gleaming white. The ‘ring’ around a site denoted its protective and sacred energy and would have been visible for miles. Especially when these places were built on prominent postitions.

Approaching the Hillfort from the path, I kept hearing that our personal vibration was still not high enough to match the frequency of the merkaba at the top. So we placed our intention to match the frequency, not realising that actually what they meant, was we were not high enough in the landscape yet. It was only when we were in the hillfort, and walking towards the top, that we were told we were reaching the right vibration. So it was our physical position on the site that matched us with the merkaba. When we got to the two round barrows at the highest point of the hillfort, where the trig point was located, we were told we were now high enough.

It was when we got to the first barrow that we realised there was a merkaba over each one. I’ve never seen that before. The merkabas were both in and above the barrows and there was a doorway we had to enter first. Thedoorway was in the side of the merkaba. This was a first. Before going into the first one, we had to attune to the merkaba energy and then enter the energetic doorway. Sometimes, although we have been doing this work for over thirty years, things can still surprise us.

We stood on the centre of the barrow/Merkaba and Chris saw the guardian of the site dressed in a white robe and carrying a staff. He spoke of stars, and constellations. The barrow felt like a boat, much like the energy at the end of the Dorset cursus, so I imagine these were built by the same people for the same purpose.

This turned out to be a masculine work for this site so Chris did most of it, until the end, when I did my part. Some sites are definitely masculine and others feminine, which we only find out once we get there. Other sites are dual so we both work them.

In the centre of the barrow, the top pyramid of the merkaba was open to higher dimensions. I call it angelic, because they are of a higher vibrational light and I have no other name for them. There was also a faery-like elemental energy too, and a green dragon. This elemental energy was female and she appeared as a faery that grants wishes. She had a wand, like in the fairy-tales, with a glowing star on the tip. I knew before coming that we had to make an essence, and she told me now to place the open bottle on the ground. She tapped the bottle three times and each time starry sparkles from her wand went into the water. I was aware of a protective white dragon, like at Burlington but it was just ‘around’.

Chris saw rainbow light going into the bottle, each colour coming from a point on the merkaba, as though the merkaba/ascension energy was being activated. So, the essence was an activator of ascension, building the merkaba frequencies around the physical body, thereby making Soul-manifesting quicker. Pretty good, so far, I thought.

Chris then had to speed the merkaba up so he added the solar light he has been carrying since a trip to France years ago, filling the merkaba. Solar light is a masculine energy and its inclusion in the merkaba ”ramped it up’, as we were told to do. Next we went into the second barrow, which again had a doorway. It was as though both merkabas were joined energetically and we had to leave one merkaba through a doorway on the opposite side to the one we had entered. The second merkaba also had a door through which we entered. This barrow/merkaba felt more feminine. Possibly the person who was primarily buried here in the past was a woman.

This wabarrow was interesting because it contained very different energies. Chris often sees a gold lattice-work column when he does energywork and this time he was seeing the same thing, but this one had a red crystal sphere on the top, like a transmitter. It reminded him of the Eiffel tower, a structure I have seen in recent crystal readings. This Eiffel tower suggests an energy structure that has its feet securely on the ground while the energy is drawn up to another level. Well grounded, bottom up Ascension, as opposed to top down.

Once again, we had to activate the essence, and this time Chris placed energetic rubies in the water, followed by Sapphires energy which I put in. Rubies are feminine, and yet it was Chris’s task to place them in the bottle. Sapphires are a masculine energy, and I had to place them there. It was as if his feminine side, and my masculine side, were energising the essence with our polar opposite. Rubies are the crystal Love of the Mother, from the Ruby layer of the crystalline planet. Sapphires and Rubies are both from the same family: corundum. The only difference between them is the colour. Ruby is the heart and Sapphire the mind. The balance of masculine/feminine is now anchored in the essence. But it is the balance of the Great Mother’s emotional body, and her mental body that is contained there.

The energy of this Merkaba was very much about raising consciousness to a higher level while still having feet firmly on the ground. Considering how much energy had just been anchored in the essence it was no surprise that this was necessary.

We felt our work was complete in this barrow and knew we had to go back the way we came. So we exited through the energetic doorway and re-entered the first barrow/merkaba. But when we were there, we found there was nothing more to do. We sat on the ground and the Guardian appeared again. He told Chris to: ‘Learn the ways of the Dragon. You have to know where the dragons are in the landscape and when you find them you have to wake them up.’ The guardian then went on to tell him about a Green Dragon and a story that existed about him. This was a welsh story with a Merlin vibe. Chris was given a name which turned out to be a place in Wales associated with a holy well and a dragon. The Merlin vibe gave us a time frame of post-Roman. Something we will have to investigate later, I’m guessing. This Green Dragon mention was also signifant later.

In the next post, I will explain more about the Green dragon energy and function, and the information we received about the dragon women who worked with them, and who are calling them awake again.

The Protective Dragon of Burley.

May 30, 2022August 18, 2025 / Ann Murphy / Leave a comment

A few weeks ago, we went to the New Forest to visit an Iron Age hillfort called Castle Hill, near Burley. I was reading ‘The Forest’ by Edward Rutherford and he mentioned a myth about a dragon there. As I have often found, where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire. Myths are great for finding sites associated with dragons because ancient cultural beliefs remain in the collective unconscious of the area.

Once we climbed up the hill to the hillfort, not realising, until we were inside, that there was a road which would have given us direct access, we found a beautiful old oak tree. It felt like a Mother Tree and it stood at the western entrance. We were told to make an essence in this old tree, which was a combination of her ancient stability and wisdom, and the white dragon energies that protected the site.

The white dragon, which looked very ‘fleshy’, more like a Chinese dragon, had long serpent-like tendrils hanging down from beside its nostrils and it stood at the entrance, facing outwards, acting as protector of the hillfort. On the other side of the hillfort, at the other entrance, I could see another one, looking out towards Lymington. My guides instructed me to walk sunwise, around the inside of the fort, and to connect the dragons to each other via a white light ring. In my mind’s eye, it reminded me of that old toothpaste advert, with its ring of confidence. White with a blue tinge.

As we walked in a circle, around the inside of the fort, we continued to tune into the energies of the site. We were told that this place was a place of safety during times of invasion. When outlying villages were attacked, the people who lived outside would come to be fed and protected. It felt like it was during a time when there was much instability and villages were routinely robbed and destroyed.

Dragon priests, able to communicate with the elemental energies of the place, were given forewarning that an attack was imminent, and they informed the villagers, who trusted them completely. They then left their homesteads and came to the safety of the fort, often returning later to burned homes and destroyed livelihoods.

Rain-filled gravel pit on top of the hill.

Part of the energies of these dragons was that the protection they offered was an energetic force-field which only allowed in energies that resonated with them. The priests of the place held that energy. If others came with bad intention, they were denied access. It was as if they would feel repelled by the place. Perhaps a fear set in, or a superstition triggered. Something always kept them out. I have found this before, at particularly elemental sites. An energy-field that you could only access if you saw beyond the glamour that surrounded them. They were invisible to most people. The ‘glamour’ came in the form of fear. For no reason that you could see, you would suddenly become afraid, seeing darkness all around you. Only if you could see the fear for what it was could you access the wisdom and knowledge of the elementals who inhabited the place.

The white dragons fulfilled the same purpose in Castle Hill hillfort.

As we made the white dragon essence at the Mother Tree, I became aware of a blue dragon energy moving in a line behind me. I was facing the centre of the fort, and the line, which looked like a blue serpent energy, entered the back of my Hara and rose out of my crown, then it travelled down through my feet. I had the strongest feeling we needed to go to wherever this blue dragon line was coming from. This turned out to be the Avon River at Ringwood.

We drove to Ringwood and brought this new essence to the river, following our intuition to the river, by a lovely green area called Jubilee park. As I poured some of the tree essence into the river, I heard myself say: ‘A gift from the Mother’.

Next, I filled a bottle with water from the river to take back to the fort. I was told it was ‘the gift of water’. And I was aware of how privileged we were to have water. Some places don’t have any. The feeling was that water was a gift, one we could not live without. There were so many places that did not have water, such as in desert environments and places where humans have polluted the seas and rivers and groundwater. We do not recognise what a gift we have. What I loved about this exchange of gifts was that they were given freely, in recognition of the importance of both places.

This was also my cue to stop complaining about the extremely wet winter we have had all winter. I had become so tired of my back-garden quagmire, which my hens had created, and I’d begun to think the rain would never stop.

Before we left the little park, I had a desire to stand on the bridge over the river. Looking across the sparkling waters, the view was beautiful! There was a glorious feminine energy presiding over this fast-flowing river, and she told me she would like to add to the essence, which now contained oak, dragon, and water energy. She put a fish into it, just like at the Itchen last year. The fish is masculine energy, but still hers.

We drove back to the hillfort and brought the water to the tree. There, I had to walk around it anti-clockwise in a circle, pouring some of the water on the ground as I walked. Chris did one half, and I did the other, like a yin/yang. Pouring the water in this way tells us that this essence is both for use as an energetic spray, and to be gifted to the land in certain areas. This gifting activates energies at the site. Many times, when making an essence, we are told to pour some on the ground, or at the base of a tree. This then sets up an activation point which affects the energies coming in and going out.

Having finished the circle, it felt like we had completed another circuit, just as we had with the white ‘ring of confidence’.

The following week, we went to Lymington. Such a lovely town, with its old fishing alleys and a small slipway. Now, however, it is no longer a small fishing village but a marina. We walked as far down to the sea as we could, then stood beside another slipway, from where I could see the opposite shore. I never know what to expect when I reach a place, and this time was no different. But, thinking I had some active work to do here, I was surprised when nothing happened. Instead, I felt an energetic aura of water emerge from the sea and surround me, as if I was carrying a bubble of water. It was a strange wobbly experience and I was very aware of holding this fluidly moving bubble of liquid. But I knew this was to be brought back to Castle Hill.

We drove into the hillfort this time and wandered down to the oak tree at the entrance. Standing beneath its branches, I felt the bubble of water, which was undulating around me, suddenly flop onto the ground, where it then seeped into the soil in a cascade of blue.

That was all I needed to do – I thought – until I saw a large white dragon’s egg appear beneath the tree. We were instructed to stand within this egg and were told that this was an initiation into the protective guardian energies of the White dragon. We could transfer this protection to people who would be the guardians of a sacred place. We could also place it around a home if that place was going to be a sanctuary or healing space.

After this gift, the work was complete, so we explored the rest of the hillfort. There are old gravel pits there now, filled with rainwater and as I stood looking into one, I felt an impulse to throw a little gold ring in. It was a tiny ring I had found walking up a road around Winchester and which only fit on the first joint of my little finger. It had originally been on something, like the rim of a bottle, but I knew, when I found it, that it was destined for someplace else, so I had worn it with that in mind. I have very little jewellery left at this stage, as so much of it has ended up in pools or rivers. A gift for a gift – or a symbolic sacrifice, a letting go of attachment. Plus, the metal can work as a physical anchor for activated energies.

It makes me wonder, though, about the real purpose was for all those iron-age swords and gold found thrown into rivers and bog pool in ancient times.

Perhaps those ancient people also exchanged gifts with the spirit of special places and energies…

Itchen Woods. Hampshire.

This month of May has seen a shift in our work in Earth Healing. Prior to this, the focus has been on accessing the Feminine Wisdom of ancient sites, but recently we have been able to access the Masculine Energy and information. This is exciting, as it heralds a whole new level of our understanding into the Male-centred fertility mysteries, as known by our ancestors in these lands.

Cowslips on the South Downs Way.

We have been given snippets before now, but over the past few weeks, since a walk along the South Downs Way, this fresh information has started to come through. While doing that walk, to get out of the house, we started at Chilcomb village/hamlet and followed our impulses. As we ambled along, taking photos, we walked through a very icy-feeling area and in front of us appeared a huge, Celtic-looking man. He was tall and broad and wearing only leggings tied around with leather thongs. His very muscular arms and chest were naked, but he had a leather band tied around his left upper arm. His skin was red with the cold, but he seemed not to notice.

We stopped walking to communicate with him, and he handed me a faceted Ruby egg. Next, he gave Chris a golden sickle, like the ones portrayed in druid images with mistletoe. We continued walking after receiving our gifts, unsure why we randomly received them along an ancient trackway until we came to the tumulus on the top of the rise. That explained the man! I was instructed to activate the burial-mound and then take a blue energy from it to two more barrows that I remembered working on fifteen years ago near Cheesefoot Head. The barrows were also on the ancient trackway and sit on a blue energy-line. The track seems to follow some of that line.

Crabapple tree inside Danebury Ring.

Since that day, all the energy-work we have done has been mainly done by Chris. His receiving the Golden Sickle was an initiation into the Male Sacred Mysteries. He has been learning the Feminine Mysteries for the past sixteen years and now it would seem he has reached a point where he can balance that learning with the Masculine Mysteries.

Last week we went to Danebury Hillfort and this week, we went to Itchen woods, where Chris received interesting information about the place. We are being instructed to revisit places we have worked on before. The following video is part of the information we received about the Itchen Woods Banjo enclosure.

The second part of audio:

When Chris mentions ‘Merlin’ he is referring to the collective energy of the Merlins, the male priests of the Old traditions, not to the fictional character who is an embodiment of the priesthood and masculine fertility energy.

The Rainbow Serpent.

September 19, 2017December 13, 2019 / Ann Murphy / Leave a comment

After a trip to Avebury during the summer, I finally understood the Rainbow Serpent. I had been asking for a long time about what it really represented and I finally got my answer. I had an idea of what it ‘might’ be but never fully understood it.

We hadn’t been to Avebury for a few years, spending so much time travelling and doing earth-work in Egypt, so it was nice to return to the circle to see how the energies were working now. Oddly, as we walked around the circle, we felt nothing, until we came to the large portal stones, which had a blue-energetic wall connecting the two. We walked through them. We had come into the circle from the Barn-side and had not entered through the ‘portal’, which could be why we had not been picking anything up. After we went through it, our ‘energy-field’ was more sensitive to the energies present at the site and we were able to communicate with the energies there.

After passing through the portal, which felt like a link to Mexico and the Maya, (this could be the result of the many group visits to Avebury by a woman named Aluna Joy, who does many workshops in the UK now. She works with the Maya energies.) we decided to walk up the Avenue. As we walked I tuned into the energy being held by the stones lining the avenue. I could see lines of different colours and widths moving towards the main circle from the Sanctuary and from the Sanctuary to the main circle, like stripes.

There were three colours, green, red and blue. Each of these colours fulfils a different function: red is the Earth energy that fills the land with vitality; green is the colour of vegetation, it brings fertility to the soil, and blue is the colour of the water energy. Water has always played an important role in these Circle groups.

On previous work at the Sanctuary, which is at the end of the avenue, I had seen a serpent’s head emerge where the avenue opened up into the Sanctuary, so I was already aware of the serpent connection, but now I understood what it meant!

Each colour is a wave-band, feeding the land and the atmosphere with a particular frequency of vitality. Everything is balanced and held by the stones, which act like acupuncture needles, holding and keeping the energies in balance. The stones at Avebury and the avenue alternate male and female. The lozenge-shaped ones are female, and the tall pointed ones are male. On the avenue too, they face each other on opposite sides of the avenue.

Everything about Avebury is Balance, balancing the forces of nature in all of its aspects, in that part of England. Avebury is not isolated either. It too fulfils a function in the larger grid of energies. Everything is connected.

We didn’t walk in the other direction this time, to the Adam and Eve stones, but we will do it the next time.

So the Rainbow serpent is not made up of all colours of the rainbow necessarily, but each ‘serpent’ has its own colour bands, depending on where it is located in the world and what is required at each place on the network.

The Stones at Avebury keep the serpent contained but the Rainbow Serpent can move above and below land. In ‘containing’ it the stones are making sure that the colour bands are being guided to where they have the best effect in the landscape, much like an electronic circuit.

I will have to re-visit some of the other stone avenues to see if this applies to them too. Merrivale springs to mind…

Workshop in Tintagel, England.

June 23, 2015July 27, 2020 / Ann Murphy / Leave a comment

This was a workshop which Cheryl Brennan and I did a few years ago, in Tintagel. It was the first one we did together and was wonderful.

We had a terrific weekend, with glorious weather, and although we had a structure for the entire weekend, we ended up adding things that we had not expected to do.Our intention was to initiate people into becoming Guardians, Keepers of the Grail. As a result of the initiations they would then ‘become One’ with the Earth. They each worked on a part of the site with which they resonated. The needed energy-work, at a particular place, exactly matched an issue which needed healing in the person doing the work. In healing the site they were healing themselves and in so doing, healing that facet of human consciousness.

We discovered, that our overall work was to anchor the female Goddess energies at certain points, points which had become predominantly masculine and therefore missing its balance. Some places were easy, once we figured out what needed to be done, and other points felt incredibly difficult. The energy needed to anchor a female consciousness, in places which have been, and continue to be, used as male strongholds, was a challenge. Some of these sites brought up a lot of anger for some, as it was apparent what the power imbalance had created. But now we were in a position to, at least, plant the seeds of balance for the future.

Its not difficult to see how this works. All you have to do is look at how long it has taken women to gain some semblance of power in a patriarchal world. Men believe they have to behave in a certain way and, as a result, women are forced to behave in another way. Anchoring the female energies will bring a slow awareness of the nurturing and powerful aspects of Woman into the lives of both men and women, with the eventual hope of peace. The wounded female needs healing as does the wounded male.

We had intended to begin the weekend at King Arthur’s Halls but, as we had a day to ‘potter’ we went to the Rocky Valley to check out the labyrinth. We spent some time beside the river and then did some unexpected ‘anchoring’ beside the labyrinth, carved into the walls! Just beyond both Labyrinths was a small room, which once formed part of a building, possibly the house of the miller. Just standing there was energising. We discovered, by following the clues, that there was no Maiden/Spring energy here, just Mother/Summer and Crone/Winter. As we were all women on a healing path this was significant for our personal healing. The maiden represents that part of ourselves that yearns to live spontaneously. She is full of potential, full of life-force, moving towards the birthing. Bringing this energy here meant uniting with this part of ourselves so we could become more of who we truly are.

We anchored a white flame here, which is a Brigid Flame. Eartha held the ability to channel the female solar energy, so she anchored it here. She was amazing! She so represented that energy, completely uninhibited and spontaneous. It was a powerful moment and we felt very energised by it. We manifested the physical flame by lighting a candle and leaving it there. The creative, feminine solar energy was now blended with the white flame of Brigit. An unexpected piece of work but amazing.

The following morning we began the day by visiting Arthur’s Halls. The Merlin (male) line flows through this building and it contains a golden serpent energy. We did a meditation and anchored three different flames of the Divine Feminine consciousness, which are, Magenta, Yellow and Blue. It was very difficult to anchor the energies here because, as Anne, one of the participants, pointed out, it is used mainly by men. It is used regularly by the local Freemasons who own the building. The whole point of anchoring these energies at a male site and on a male energy line is so that the change in consciousness around the feminine can be sown within the masculine consciousness. It softens the masculine energy and brings it back into balance.

Later in the afternoon we went to St. Materiana’s church to do Magdalene Flame attunements, given to me originally by Jhadten Jewall, and to re-anchor the energy there. We didn’t know it, but they were preparing for a wedding there that day and we were just in time. They had decorated the church with white and gold, the colours we had previously worked with in the Rocky Valley! Cheryl and I carried out the attunements and we all then went down for the initiations in Tintagel Castle. The female energy line, runs beneath St. Materiana’s church, so we were ensuring that it was maintained energetically.

On our way down to the castle Eartha suddenly pointed out the dragon’s head, right where we were going to do the initiations. His head faces out to sea. All the times we had come here and we had never noticed! We wondered where the tail ended up? I discovered a couple of weeks later that according to Paul Broadhurst the tail is at St. Nectan’s waterfall, which was where we were finishing the work the following day!

We carried out the initiations at the Solar Portal, which is a point on the highest part of the castle and looks out on the setting sun, and each person received their ‘mantle’. The mantle is a layer of colour vibration placed in the energy-field of the person. We also created a new essence there. As we were leaving the hall we had a nice piece of confirmation. The tour guide was explaining the uses for each room when the castle was in power, and where we did the initiations was where they kept their cloaks!

When we had finished we pottered off to explore. Anne and I ended up in Merlin’s cave and I did a personal activation with her. The vortex lay just inside the entrance and, after we had gone through to the other side of the cave, we came back and Anne ‘freed up’ the trapped creative energy here. She and the vortex were one which meant that in healing the energies there, she was equally healing her own matching issues. A couple of years later, Chris Bishop also had an initiation here and met the Dragon of Tintagel.

The following day we began at Bossiney Mound, which lies on a cross-over of the male and female energy lines. There is a local story that on Midsummer’s eve a golden, round table rises up from beneath the mound and then goes underground again. Cheryl led the meditation and we anchored layers of energy here, all designed to help heal the world and change the consciousness of those receptive to the energies of Divine Balance. When we were finished we went to St. Nectan’s waterfall. Jaynie needed to do work here so we spent some time doing that. This was her initiation, on the inner levels, into working with Divine Balance and the unification of the forces of Nature with Humanity. Doing this meant that she could work more closely with site guardians and the Elder Race. As part of this she then was to lead the next meditation, which was terrific and very powerful. Eartha, once again, picked up the discordant energies of the site, which Jaynie was able to ‘upgrade’. We also placed the intention for the site keepers to maintain the cleanliness of the place, which they weren’t doing! Jaynie’s work also involved creating a ‘holding’ structure for the energies to flow through, as they were not being ‘contained’.

To finish the day we all created a strong heart connection and commitment, to the healing of ourselves and the earth, through the site.

Reconnection.

June 2, 2015June 2, 2015 / Ann Murphy / Leave a comment

I’ve been back in Winchester for a week and I still feel overwhelmed! As I drove to the woods, the only place that I feel secure in, I was aware of myself being in a glass bubble. I could see outside the glass, but I could not feel anything. I felt completely disconnected from everything.

I drove to the first place where I ever connected to earth energies, and which seems to be my entrance-point to the English energy-grid. Every-time I spend time away, it seems to be this place I start off with again.

This was the only place I didn’t feel ‘bubble-wrapped’ in, so that was really good. I stood on the round barrow, where the Dryad that gave me the tree wisdom symbol grows, and tuned in, but felt nothing but a slight soft energy in my legs. I wandered down a path I have never seen before and ended up in a wide open space, a lovely grassy plain. It felt wonderful; like ‘home’. I wandered down the path a bit and then felt the need to stop. As I stood still I felt like I was facing the wrong direction, so I shifted, and then all of the energy I had brought from Egypt began to flow into the earth. What a relief that was. I stood until my belly felt completely empty and then I walked back up the hill, enjoying being under the green, leafy branches once again.

As I came closer to the round barrow again, I felt my heart energy move out of my body. It looked, and felt, like my heart was a metre out in front of me. I could feel the stretch of it. I didn’t initially know why it was doing that, but I followed it as it pulled me forward, and then I found myself standing just in front of a young Beech tree that was growing at the base of the Barrow. My heart energy disappeared into the tree, even while it was still connected to me by a cord of energy. I stood waiting to see what would happen next. After a few minutes I felt my umbilical cord activate and it too moved into the tree, at the same level, then it changed direction and moved up the trunk to connect to my heart! Once it had connected, I could release it. It seemed strange to anchor myself in a tree, but it was obviously what I needed. I’ll have to wait and see why it was necessary.

I continued on up to stand on the barrow, but, again I was facing the wrong direction, so I turned a faced the same direction as earlier. That was where I needed to go next. I wondered if it was the Roman Site I used to spend a lot of time in. The mosaic from the site is in Winchester Museum.

The following day I went back up to Farleigh Mount and took the scenic route up to the villa site. It was very pretty! I had really missed all of the trees while I had been in Luxor, and am going to make the best of them while I am here! When I got to the site I sat and breathed, but did not feel the need to do anything. But then I heard what sounded like bird cries. I thought it was an owl, or a buzzard and it sounded like it was in distress. It turned out to be a faun, which had wandered away from its mother and was calling for her. It had gotten a little lost in the lost in the undergrowth. But I knew that it mother was around calling for it, so I sat back down and waited. She came and took her baby and all was well.

This little lesson, from Mother Nature, is one I have been learning in Egypt. “Mother knows best, so stop rescuing”! Seems I needed to be reminded of that here.

Energywork April 2015. Luxor/Naqada

April 16, 2015November 6, 2022 / Ann Murphy / 2 Comments

Well, it has been an energetic couple of weeks. Omar (Husband) had to go to Naqada last week to sort out his father’s pension. Naqada is a town, a half an hour’s drive away from us here on the West Bank. I don’t normally go but this time I felt an overwhelming urge, nay excitement, at the thought of accompanying them! I recognised the feeling. It is what I used to get when I lived in the UK and Ireland, when energy-work needed to be done. Omar’s brother had hired our neighbour’s service taxi, so we bundled an elderly father into the back seat and off we went, Omar, Amer, (brother) dad and myself, and the crazy driver!

It was so nice to get out into the green again. As we drove along I felt the energy of the fields and the Nile and I opened myself up to them. I felt open and energised and connected. I heard myself ‘calling’ elementals to come and join me in my work as we drove. It felt wonderful. I watched the small farms as we passed, mudbrick houses, buffalo and cows tethered beside the canals, women sitting outside their homes. Then, of course, the huge electricity pylons, stretching out through the fields, their long deadly tendrils filling the skies above us. The old life and the new.

I knew when we were closer to Naqada because I could feel the energy shifting. We drove through dusty main streets, no tarmac here, until we came to the Government building. We parked opposite, trying to leave room for other vehicles, donkey carts and toctocs, (3-wheelers). I stayed in the taxi while Omar went to do the business and while I sat there, I felt my energy move up into the sky. I could see a massive dark vortex, swirling blacks, and greys and whites, above the city. It was the collective beliefs of Naqada. It didn’t look so good! I ‘saw’ my hands pulling down a large golden cord, which I attached to the centre of my being, the Mother centre in my belly.

I felt a feminine energy descend into me as I sat still in the car, and when she was fully anchored in my energy-field, her dress, a grey-blue satin-like material, spread out wide. I saw large pins anchor the hem of the dress to the ground in a large circle. She moved up so that the fabric became taut and then it began to flow out around her. It began to move, like water, into the streets, filling up every nook and cranny of the city. Then she looked up at the great swirling cloud above her and she raised her arms up high and gathered the vortex in her hands, rolling all of those energies into a ball. I waited to see what she was going to do with the ball, until I saw her ingest it. As she swallowed it, it moved into her mother centre, in her belly. After a few moments, she raised her arms again and this time she brought with them the beautiful energies of growth, beauty and greenness; of life and the love of life. It felt wonderful, loving and clean. The complete opposite to how it is today, a dirty, dusty, rubbish-strewn environment. Naqada is a predominantly Christian city and quite poor. Out in the desert they found evidence of a people who had migrated from the deserts, during the Neolithic period, when the temperatures changed and their once fertile oases became barren sand dunes. These people spread out, even to where we live here, on the West Bank in Luxor. Right outside our home, and underneath parts of it, lie the 6,000 year old cemeteries of the Naqada peoples. They were a ‘Goddess-centered’ people and were the beginning of all the history here in this part of Egypt.

Driving back from Naqada we took the desert road, as the driver wanted to speed up a little. Not a reassuring thought as he is an abysmal driver! About 5 km outside of Qurna, Luxor, I brought down the energy of a huge white disc. It spread itself over the city of Luxor, east and west. In the centre of this disc a large column/tube was connected, like the hose on a fire hydrant, which stretched up into the sky. It was as if it was just being set up for energies to flood in at some point.

A couple of days later I was listening to music. I had done a few Gaia Method attunements with some lovely women from Ireland and in the UK, and my energies were nicely connected. Music always acts as the trigger for energy-work, and the work I do while listening to music is more like a dance, dancing the energy of nature. This dance was quite different to any I have ever experienced before. I found myself raising fire, which was huge and cleansing. Then I felt like the destructive Goddess, her energy moving fiercely around me, wild and free, like a massive thunderstorm. This went on for a few minutes, the energy whipping up the waters of the Nile so that they no longer knew in which direction they flowed, north or south. Then suddenly I felt the Goddess energy stop and she made everything quiet and soft again, like an orchestra playing a soft, soothing melody after a long crescendo.

It seemed to be such a huge energy, that I was a little afraid of what it might mean. It felt chaotic and wild yet I experienced the dancing of it as something necessary and life-changing. It didn’t matter to her, how much it effected anyone, so long as everything was re-balanced once again. That’s just nature’s way. But it is going to be very interesting around here when this does happen. I sure hope we’re prepared. I have been receiving a lot of guidance about stocking up for the winter, and the weather patterns changing, so things are going to get interesting. Thank god we planted a lot of wheat this year!!

This morning, as I was waking up, my guides told me to post the journal entry for a trip I made with Kathryn Jackson to Stanton Drew stone circles. We were studying an Archaeology degree in Winchester together at the time and I was still learning about Earth work. Kathryn too had been attuned to Reiki, by me, and so we were colleagues learning together. Much later, when I was ‘given’ the Gaia Method I attuned her to the first level. She had already been attuned to Reiki Master level by then and was well on her way in her healing journey. In a way we learned a lot about how to combine our healing with the knowledge of how our ancestors worked energetically within the landscape. We travelled quite a lot to different sites back then. This is the record of that day.

January 2005. Today Kat and I went to Stanton Drew stone circles (Grid. Ref. ST603 630)

It was wet and windy, not Kats favourite weather! The Great circle was smaller than I expected and I didn’t detect any energy activity. I did, however, pick up the fear and superstitions that the people of the Middle Ages felt about the site. They really were scared of them and saw them as places of the devil where horrible things happened to people. They imagined that the builders sacrificed animals and people and stuck their heads on poles to rot. They built up so many negative beliefs about the place that the energy remains there. Interestingly we did find a rabbit’s head which had been deliberately placed on one of the stones!! Bit weird!! Then I remembered the Lemurian’s instructions to place a protective light frequency around me so that I would only pick up the energies that I needed to work with. When I did that I no longer picked up those energies. I’ll remember that next time!

I had an impulse to place all my Lemurian crystals in the rain-water which had pooled on top of one of the flat, square stones in the North-East. I wasn’t quite sure why I was doing it but it became clearer later.

The stone was markedly different to the others in that it was not an upright. We thought initially that it had just fallen over but we realised that it was supposed to be flat. Interestingly I had no desire to walk to the centre of the circle, as I would normally, but felt the need to walk around the edge to the stone, immediately opposite the first stone we had come to on entering the field. When we had reached that stone I felt an impulse to walk into the centre of the North-East circle. As I did I began to feel the familiar energy-rush feeling I usually get at an active site. It always leaves me feeling breathless! While Kat wandered around the stones I stood in the centre and tuned in. I wanted to lift my arms up to the sky so I ‘saw’ myself doing that. I was aware of the light moving around the stones in a clockwise fashion after having started at the square, flat stone that lay in the north east. As the ring of blue light energy travelled around the stone circle it stopped at the square one and created a ‘ring’ effect, like a ring with a gemstone we would put on our finger. It seemed as though the square stone somehow ‘held’ the charge of Solar energy which the Priestess in the centre had channelled into the circle.

Stanton Drew Energy-lines now.

As I continued to channel the energy into the circle I ‘saw’ a sword of fire being plunged into the ground. I’d never seen this before. Usually, in order to clear a blocked energy line, I would drive a sword into the point of blockage but it never had fire around it. (The sword is just an image I see in my imagination that acts like an etheric acupuncture needle, unblocking the flow of energy through the earth’s meridians). I wasn’t quite sure what this meant but, again, it became clearer later on. When this process felt complete I wanted to walk down the avenue of stones so that’s what we did.

The next step was to visit the South-West circle. We had to cross another field which was thick with mud and cow pats! Sheep and their early lambs were playing on the stones of the smaller circle but they moved away as we entered the circle. I expected this circle to be ‘quiet’ as the previous one was active but to my surprise it too was active. I stood in the middle and tuned in. As I became more aware of the energy, I felt my own energy wanting to move deep into the Earth. Then I saw a wheel with me in the centre. Another one appeared under it and they began to rotate in opposite directions. I heard ‘step off the wheel’ but didn’t know what this meant! A few minutes passed and I wasn’t sure if I was finished or not. Then I saw myself as a priestess again but this time I held a large serpent in my hands. It was extremely long and moving in a winding movement. I placed it deep in the Earth with its head facing towards the North-East circle, but not entering it. It bypassed it.

Then another line, obviously still present, was activated. This line ran under St. Mary’s church, through the centre of the circle and out the other side. I waited for this to properly anchor. I saw the priestess holding a lantern and she began to ‘walk the light’ down the line of the serpent towards the North-East circle. I had the idea that this is what the original avenue of stones marked out yet she had created a new line. Both avenues now joined this new line. Had there been a line there before and it had become blocked at another location and needed to be recreated?

Then I ‘saw’ the peace symbol and was told to anchor this quality into the circle. I still felt as though I was deep in the Earth, so I felt the energy of peace lay itself over and into the circle like a disc of energy. This then moved deeply into the Earth. I waited until I could no longer feel the energy and I knew we were finished.

This had been an interesting site. Although it had three circles it wasn’t a Triple Goddess Site. It appeared as though one circle belonged to the fire element and one belonged to the Earth element. I had read some research by Gwen Broughton and the three stone circles that existed in Winchester during the Neolithic. This information had been channelled by an Australian woman and she said that there had been a large stone circle where the cathedral now stood. Two satellite circles, one a ‘water’ circle and the other a ‘fire’ circle lay under what is now the Brooks centre. Three Sarsen stones from the smaller circles now lie in the Abbey gardens. I am sceptical until I experience evidence of channelled information (even my own!) so I went and sat on the stones and tuned into them. I was ‘told’ that the stone I was sitting on was a ‘Venus’ stone and that it was used to tune into the qualities of Venus! I saw a stone circle and a Druid/priest instructing his/her students. Each student sat at a stone in order to experience and know the energies of a particular planet. Interesting, but again I needed proof. I found it. I read it on the internet but cannot find it now. It stated that druids would teach their students about planets by getting them to tune into stones that were infused with that particular energy!

Now I had also experienced ‘elemental circles’ so I knew the Australian woman was possibly correct. I will have to visit some more stone circles to see if this is a common occurrence.

I have subsequently, since writing that, done much more work with these etheric energies of Winchester’s stone circles and with the three stones which still remain. I will gradually post these when I have a hundred years worth of time!!!
