This is a meditation of the connection gifted to us by the Memory Tree in Winchester Cathedral Grounds. It is an attunement meditation and offered to everyone who works with the energy of trees. It is also a gift to help you understand the world in the way trees do. It was given to help us all ground deeply into the earth, to stabilise our energy connection to earth for the coming times when events become even more interesting. We need to be fully able to remain stable in the face of changes and to work with the elemental beings who are trying to accommodate these changes too. It connects us to the necessary inner peace we need to navigate the coming times and to understand that all will be well. Now, more than ever, we need to be like the trees. Stable, solid and well connected. In connecting to one tree in this way, we are connected to all trees.
Here is a presentation explaining a little about the crystalline energy fields that we work with and which the obsidian dragon at the core of the earth resides in. (Click on each image to move it forward.)
This is what your connection will look and feel like.
Here is the video. Watch it through first (it will redirect to canva) before doing the meditation. It has the crystal layout so you can absorb the crystal energies. This was the gift from the Mother Tree, otherwise known as the Memory Tree, in Winchester Cathedral Grounds.
Below is a downloadable meditation without any visual imagery. You can also use this when you connect to a physical Mother tree that you know, or are drawn to and may have already forged a connection to.
There are three essences which have been gifted by the trees in the last month (February 2024) which will be available on the Tree essences page.
My guides gave me this message a couple of weeks ago (16th January 25):
“We recommend starting with hope, hope for the future; hope for humanity; hope for the living. We see all, and we see how humanity is holding a torch for peace. But the torch is small. When enough of you add your flame of peace to the flame of hope then, and only then, will peace prevail.”
Until I channelled the blue flame meditation this morning, (10 feb 25) I did not realise they were speaking literally, in an energetic sense of course. To help us to remain energetically steady in the face of so much distortion and destruction in the world, they have given me a meditation to use during times of fear. Especially when we find it difficult to separate ourselves from the traumas of world events. At these times it is important that we remain focused on the Soul, remembering that everything that is happening has been chosen by each incarnated soul, on all sides, for their growth and development. However, because, once we are born into this world, we forget that we are only inhabiting our physical bodies, we get caught up in the world dramas, feeling the fear and pain of all involved. To help us remain focused on the higher awareness of our reality, where we can do something that helps the world, my guides gave me this meditation. This does not mean that we blissfully trip off into a meadow of sunny daisies, but it does give us the frequency of peace and hope so that we can transmit that awareness and energy into the world around us. It also helps us to focus on what we can do to help. As I was channelling the meditation it soon became clear that their earlier words meant something in particular.
They have given a meditation that blends both the flame of peace with the flame of hope.
This flame belongs to a trio of flames, each one of a different frequency. The three flames are the Blue, the pink and the yellow. In Winchester cathedral, we have over the years, anchored the triple flame on an energy point, as well as portions of those flames in the smaller chapels. The portions are anchored as individual portions of the triple flame, depending on the purpose of the chapel. (We only learn that once we have anchored the flame). The same thing applied when we were working in Egypt. One large flame was anchored in the main temple, and smaller flames were anchored in the smaller chapels, depending on which chapel needed it.
Recently, here in the UK, the flames have taken on a Divine Feminine Goddess archetype energy, which tells us the function of the flame. For instance, in the lady chapel of the cathedral, we anchored a gold flame of Demeter. In St. Lawrence’s Church, which stands on the site of the original church of William the conqueror’s palace, we anchored a flame which holds the frequency of Mary, the Cosmic Mother, in the Christian tradition.
The main triple-flame lies between the Lady Chapel and the St. Swithin’s monument and holds the energy of Divine Love, Divine Peace and Divine Joy. Its masculine energies, because balance is required, are love, power and wisdom. The frequency of the these flames changes depending on what energy is needed.
For this meditation, it is the energy of both Peace, with a smidgen of Hope, that we are attuning to.
Below, I am sharing some of the images you will need for the visualisations in the meditation. Have a look first so you can see what everything is supposed to look like. There will be variations, naturally, based on your own soul images, but this will give you an idea of what you need to create, energetically. Try to feel them, as well, because these energies are very tangible and it is a great way of gaining more sensitivity to them.
You can watch the video meditation or you can listen to the audio by itself.
Or you can listen to the audio on its own or download it for later use. It is a useful one to do on a regular basis especially as events in the world heat up and peace within is needed.
There are levels within levels at this final stage too, (I say final, although it never feels truly final. There is always more to learn). The basic attunement anchors the Blue Sphere and the Trident of Poseidon. The Blue Sphere is the Sphere of development where you fully align your will, with the Will of the Mother, or Gaia, the Soul of our earth. It takes you into the realms of universal consciousness, as it is actualised through the consciousness and Will of the Universal Mother, or Cosmic Mother. This is the Mother who sees all from a higher, more unconditional, Soul awareness level. She is aware of the many changes on earth and sees where and when changes need to be brought into play.
She watches the earth, and all upon it, just as a good-enough mother watches her children growing. She knows what her growing children need to experience if they are to survive into adulthood. She watches with compassion when humanity act from hate and she projects great love to them, hoping they will feel her love and grow into that love. She is aware that each soul on earth is on a path of growth and development and that they will make mistakes. But she does not judge. She sees from a higher perspective and knows they will find their way.
The physical earth is also observed. The Cosmic Mother knows when planetary changes are needed. She sees the wildfires raging through the forests and sees the necessary clearings they create. She watches the forces of nature rampage across the land in floods and tsunamis, volcanic upheaval and storms and knows too that these are necessary ‘restructurings’ of the earth’s landmass and that they have been happening for millions of years in their own cycles. (As traumatic as it is for us to experience them!)
At this level, you learn to see, objectively, through the eyes of the Mother. Just as in the second level, you are anchored into the Venus Matrix – the pink sphere – and learn the lessons of love, in the third level you learn the lessons of objective compassion contained in the Blue Sphere. You have learned to follow your guidance, even when your personality wants to jump in and fix things; to rescue people. With those skills under your belt, you learn to be a watcher, seeing the social currents and how they move in the world.
You may not see the outcome of the events on earth, or understand why they are happening, but you understand they are happening for a reason, and that all those involved understand that too – on a Soul level. You learn to stand back and follow what your guidance wants you to do, and what your Soul wants you to do. It is not easy to do this, especially when you see terrible things happening in the world, yet you are asked to stand back and be a watcher, and do what you are called to do. This can be challenging where there is so much pain and destruction in the world and this is why the Venus matrix sphere comes before this one; because we have to learn to love all inhabitants of earth and see them through the heart of love – as difficult as that can sometimes be.
You may be asked to focus on what will and can help in real terms. Humanity needs to change, to grow, to expand in consciousness. Each one of us that heals the beliefs that create our current reality, is needed. In healing ourselves, and learning about our own beliefs, we learn how others do the same. All of us, collectively, create the physical reality we live in. Imagine if enough of us changed those beliefs. What would reality look like then? And what vision does the Cosmic Mother hold for humanity? Can we help her manifest those visions – through us?
The Blue sphere holds tools to help us heal old beliefs, both individual and collective, and creates in us the desire to recreate the world. The thoughts that flow through us, from the Cosmic Mother, are the thoughts we need to align to – because they are the ones she knows we need to manifest with. She is always, and ever, filled with compassion for us here on earth, no matter what the winds of change bring.
Within this sphere, there are other energies available but the primary one, to start with, is the Trident of Neptune. Because your will is now aligned with the Will of the Mother, the energies of this trident flow out from you and into the world. These are your Soul-filled and Angelic creations. They emerge from your will, your solar plexus, as streams, or currents of energy. Each stream is a creative endeavour which helps the world, through what you do. Each stream, or current, has a particular focus. One stream could be writing, another, healing. Yet another could be temple building, or even raising a family. It all depends on which stream wants to work through you. These streams use your learned skills, and creative gifts, even if you think you haven’t got any!
This is a deep level of creation and creativity. Sometimes, depending on where you are in your emotional development (Your soul knows what you need) The angelic aspect is that part which works in service to humanity’s development and future. We may never see the outcome of our work in the present, but it heals the past and creates the future. Because, at this level, we are manifesting on behalf of humanity, we are guided to create what is needed. But they move through us, using our natural gifts and learned skills. We are the conduits for new creation.
There is a balance here around the creations of the Cosmic Mother and the masculine Poseidon, and what those creations are manifesting in terms of humanity’s need to move forward. The masculine frequencies come in through the Poseidon energy. Poseidon is master of the emotions and deep creative impulses and therefore utilises what the trident brings into his consciousness. The thoughts and desires the cosmic Mother has for humanity are brought into being, and anchored, by the Poseidon energies, the master of the collective seas of creation.
As with all the Gaia Method Earthways attunements, these energies become active when you are ready for them, so you never have to worry about taking in too much energy or being overwhelmed by them. Your Soul is like a gatekeeper, opening the way for you when it knows you are ready. Although it took me fifteen years to bring in this level, I recognise how the necessary energies activate in their own time, which is reassuring! I have been holding most of these energies for years and yet, even now, they activate within me when they are good and ready. The energies of the previous attunements continue to work through your psyche, expanding your gifts, and your ability to work with the earth, and all its inhabitants.
Level Three Main Attunement.
Anchoring you deeper into the collective psyche of humanity and into Divine Will and Power. From here, everything you do is for the good of the whole. Working with Angelic intelligence: the guides and healers of humanity’s future, you begin to manifest, on behalf of humanity, and under their guidance.
Along with this attunement there is a practice that will help you discover what streams of energy flow into manifestation through you.

Level Three Open Attunements
Trusting your Soul, and your guides, and opening to whatever comes in, shows a level of trust necessary when working with the Soul of Mother Earth. In allowing yourself to open, in whatever way is necessary for your development, means you receive energies you may not have expected and which may come from the other levels. This happens because your soul, and your guides, know what you need to continue your work. This might be different to what your personality thinks you need.
These attunements add to the energies you hold and help your continued development. You can have as many of these as you want because the energies will always be different and will be exactly what you need.
This pink Sphere of the Goddess Venus brings the quality and lessons of love to all corners of your world. Everything that is not love comes up for review, including love, or lack of love, for yourself and what you do. Joy is the creative energy of life, and at this level, we learn to see the Other as they are, not as who we think they are. Love is the energy of the universe. It is what keeps us alive. But how do we know what love truly is? At this level, we find out. Here we also learn about relationships and how to work and be in relationship with another soul. This may challenge you, but it will always lead to healing. Bringing love into the world is key to this level, learning to love the other through learning to love ourselves and facing our fears and preconceived ideas about love.
This level also introduces us to portals. You become a portal through which other beings are given access to the physical world. In this level, you begin to work with energy as spheres. These hold and contain certain frequencies of energy, which you can then release into the world or use to help someone else.
Through the Danu symbol, you become a portal through which four energies connect to you specifically. These could be to qualities, beings from other cultures, animals, abundance, dragons, ancient civilisations or Guides from other planetary systems. In effect, it upgrades your ability to bring in these energies through your energetic portal. This also teaches you to create portals in the landscape and around the world. What you bring through is what you have learned in all the incarnations you have ever lived and what the world needs now.
Initiation into the Second Level. This is the foundation of the second level.
This is the initiation into the Venus Matrix and the Danu Symbol.
The Venus Matrix is all things love and creativity. Developing artistic skills, or whatever your particular creative gifts are, even if you don’t know what they are.
The Danu symbol connects you to four primary realms which you bring through the portal in multiple ways, creating a bridge between the human world and other worlds. At this level you start to form triangles of force in the landscape, linking places together in groups of three, to bring through certain needed qualities and forces which these places need.
£75.00
The open attunement can bring in elements from any level. This is because your soul, or higher consciousness, knows what it needs and what you need to continue your development. These may include the Gifts of the Sidhe, The Gifts of the Tuatha de Danann, Creative energies from Egypt’s Red Sea and the Womb of creation; Energies from the Ancient Egyptian temples and The Lords of Light, Dragon and serpent energies, Tree energies, and healing energies to help with your own, and the collective’s, healing. Everyone is different and is on a different path of development. No two people are the same; therefore, each person requires different energies. The open attunement provides these.
Second Level Open Attunement.
Trusting your Soul, and your guides, and opening to whatever comes in, shows a level of trust necessary when working with the Soul of Mother Earth. In allowing yourself to open, in whatever way is necessary for your development, means you receive energies you may not have expected and which may come from the other levels. This happens because your soul, and your guides, know what you need to continue your work. This might be different to what your personality thinks you need.
These attunements add to the energies you hold and help your continued development. You can have as many of these as you want because the energies will always be different and will be exactly what you need.
I began writing this post in December 2023, before I went to Stonehenge for the Solstice. Seeing the image of the Stonehenge Cup online must have triggered something in me because a week later I had a strong impulse to go and visit Salisbury Plain. The excitement of finding the story behind this object opened a way forward. Often this is how we are led towards a place we need to work in. Something triggers an energy deep inside and we are propelled by a sense of exploration and adventure towards discovering a new piece of the puzzle.
This particular part of the puzzle is still playing out for me, and may well last the entire year, maybe longer. We’ll see. Here is the object that triggered my excitement and the post I had begun to write about it…
While doing some work online, I came across an image that made my heart flutter. It was an image that told me something about Stonehenge that I probably would not have accepted before, but because this information came from the burial of a woman in a round barrow close to Stonehenge, and within its sacred boundaries, it was impossible not to accept. Not only could I not not accept it, it opened my eyes to what I had been unable to see before, and which explained an aspect of the rituals in Stonehenge that made absolute sense to me.
The cup is not a cup, as such, but a replica of the stone circle itself … complete with a thatched roof and a large opening in the centre. Stonehenge must have looked like this at some point in its long life and light, part of its ritual use. When a light is placed inside the model, it shines out through the gaps … when lit in the dark. Effectively, it is like the solar light shining out through the stones. It made me wonder whether there was any evidence of fires having been burned in the centre of the circle or purely energetic.
During sacred solar ceremonies, the sun’s light is energetically ‘brought down’ into the centre to fertilise the waiting womb beneath the earth. I know this is part of Stonehenge’s function because it is one of the things I recognised early on in my work when I did Reiki attunements in the circle. My later experiences at Broomrigg stone circle in Cumbria also taught me what the sacred ceremonies in the circles were really about and inspired me as to why and how Stone circles may have been created.
The opening at the roof of this thatched building is like the cervix, the entrance to the womb, opening to the fertilising energies of the sun during the Winter Solstice and on into February. Stonehenge, like many sites, is a Sheelagh na Gig site, a Winter/Crone site that opens to the masculine solar light when it becomes the maiden of Spring. Priests and priestesses, channels for this light, would bring the sun’s energy through their bodies and energy fields, allowing solar energy to pass into the waiting, receptive earth beneath their feet.
The light of larger sites, such as the Stonehenge Complex, travelled along energy lines connected to the henge. Other places, such as menhirs, smaller circles and especially rivers, then sent that energy further into the landscape benefitting all who lived upon it. Light is life. Our ancestors understood the earth to be the body of the Mother. She fed them; nurtured them; gave them shelter, and in death, they returned to her.
I can just imagine what it might have been like to participate in one of their rituals. Standing under the cover of the thatched roof, waiting expectantly for the sun to shine its rays of light, both physical and energetic, into the womb of the waiting mother. Everyone is watching. They can feel the energies radiate, touching them all, making their skin tingle, their bodies fill with light. A sense of elation as energy leads to lightheadedness. Awe as the sun’s rays move into the landscape – their landscape – fills them with joyful, and trusting, anticipation of the abundance that will follow. The unshakable knowledge that they are loved and supported by both Mother Earth and Father Sun, gives them assurance that all will be well. It is a joyful, uplifting and connecting celebration as all the tribes gather to participate in the yearly ritual of abundance and sharing.
We get some sense of this wonder and attunement at modern gatherings at the Solstice. But in the past, they knew what they were doing. They knew this ritual of bringing down the light would benefit everyone. What we see now is a good start, however. People are feeling the old energies again. Wanting to join together in the ancient ritual of tribal celebration. There is a powerful sense of connection in these gatherings as people from everywhere come on this night to be together, each understanding why the other is there. There is something magical about the atmosphere. We are All One, together, honouring and loving the ancient place, taking in the special energies of the time.
The discovery of the miniature ceramic Stonehenge Cup made me wonder who the buried woman was. Burial mounds contain the bodies, or ashes, of significant people who both ruled, and carried out sacred service. Their energies remain at these sites and can be accessed with intention and a willingness to serve the whole. She may have been a priestess, a ‘Mother’ connected to the sacred landscape. In life, she may have had a replica Stonehenge to burn incense in, possibly to maintain her intention for the henge and to hold the sacred site within her energy-field. It is much the same as having an altar space in your home, lighting candles and incense and connecting to the energy of a place, or people. It might have been a loved object , connecting her to the place she loved, the place of the Mother. And, of course, it may not be the only one, simply the only one they have found, so far.
On the other hand, the incense cup could have been buried with her to allow her to take the light of Stonehenge into the earth, back to the Mother, a little part of the light she might have worked with most of her life. It reminds me of my aunt’s funeral in southern Ireland. She was a very devoted Catholic. After the traditional wake, which was wonderful to attend because her spirit was joyful that she was ‘still alive’, we went to the funeral mass. Afterwards, her coffin was brought to the cemetery in Kilmacow, beside St Senan’s Church, where it was put in the ground, on top of my great-grandmother Johanna’s coffin; her favourite grandmother. (My mother was one of the models used for an angel mural in the Church of St Senan, when she was a child. She is the third angel from the right, lower three, playing a trumpet).
When my aunt’s coffin was in the ground, I saw a vertical shaft of pink light enter her heart area, through the wood of the coffin. It remained anchored there, a pillar of pink energy, as though her physical body was its anchor. The pink was the ray of Love and would be henceforth accessible to all who visited the graveyard. A lovely gift to leave after physical life. I have seen the same thing with ancient burial sites too.
Our ancestors held different beliefs, but energy is energy, and they knew it far better than we do. We are only learning what they knew, thanks to their physical remains and ability to communicate with us, thousands of years later. Their bodies, within the burial mounds, can still share energy and information, if we remain open. I have learned to understand the ancient rituals through connecting with the spirit of these people who are happy to share their history and knowledge. They want us to know how to venerate the earth and its many dimensions. They want us to remember. And we can, by going to their places, tuning in, and trusting what they give us.
Recently, a friend and I went to Winchester Cathedral, called as we were, to go. When we went inside, we went to the little votive candle-stand to one side of the main aisle. I had a strong feeling we needed to light a candle but when we were lighting our flames it felt like the physical version of an energetic flame we needed to light – in front of the great altar.
Before the Great Altar.
Beneath the great altar, there is an ancient well, but I was asked to plant a large blue flame, the heart of the mother, some distance away on the lower level. My friend and I sat on the pews on opposite sides, facing each other with the space between us. This flame was connected to the situation in Israel/Palestine and was an energy to help support the people there. It would bring succour to all the people suffering and thoughts of peace to the people in authority. (Personally, I had my doubts that the latter could be so influenced, but who was I to judge the efficacy of these spiritual intentions?). Nevertheless, I spent some time focusing this blue flame light on the conflict, and remembered that one of the four biggest chakra points on earth was in Jerusalem. This energy-point is a hotbed of ideas and beliefs and a place where new beliefs are birthed. This is why there has always been conflict in this area.
Over twenty years ago, my guides gave me a vision that they told me to record. This vision showed war in Israel and the golden dome of the Al-Aqsah mosque crumbling as a bright new blue-white minaret of divine feminine awareness arose from the centre, like a plant shoot grrrrrrrowing into the sky. This site, now sacred to Islam, was once also sacred to the Christians, and the Jews. They identified the Dome of the Rock with the Temple of Solomon, which I believe was an energetic temple, not a physical one.
When I see what is happening there now, my heart breaks for the people and the incredible pain they are experiencing. But I also recognise the spiritual opportunity for others around the world to develop compassion, to open their hearts and to feel the desire to help all who are suffering. The opportunity is to move beyond the personal, and to see the universal, to recognise that we are all ONE. It is only our beliefs and fears which separate us. The challenge is to open ourselves to healing the collective pain and to see with the eyes of Divinity. To recognise how our beliefs decide whose side we take, and why. To heal the rifts inside ourselves so we can see everyone as a seed of the Divine. To use our skills as healers to send light to ALL involved, especially to those who perpetrate these hatreds and who keep such a sense of victimhood in their thoughts and hearts to the point where they no longer see the humanity in front of them and instead see only animals. Those are the ones who need the light most, the ones in charge- because they have less light. As my guides once told me ‘When there is hate in your heart, there is no room for love.’ So healing the hate, and the causes of it, makes room. (It is important to remember, when anchoring these flames, that we do not think as the personality does, but as the Soul, who sees from a higher perspective).
So, with the Flame of the Heart of the Mother anchored in our wonderful Cathedral, a place with a wide river of blue light running beneath it that connects to many other sacred places, we had done what was needed. This flame would influence the waters beneath the cathedral, the waters of the Itchen, and would travel wherever the river travelled towards the sea where a huge white flame had been anchored years ago in Southampton waters.
Once we had anchored this Divine Feminine healing light, we were instructed to stand before the altar. From the ancient spring below there floated up a feminine energy, the guardian of the well. She hovered above the floor in front of the altar, facing us. Wearing a pale green hooded cloak, the colour of a green pool in the forest, she held in her hands a gold-lidded container from which she took a sweet. I was handed a lemon sherbet, and my friend, a chocolate-covered Turkish delight; the pink within representing love. I wasn’t sure what the lemon sweet I was given represented but as it was bitter-sweet, I assumed whatever it was would not be particularly easy-going. But she also pressed a single gold coin into my palm, taking some of the bitterness away. Before we went behind the altar, to continue, she suggested that the blue flame would transform into the yellow Flame of Brigit in Spring.
Behind the great altar, we took our intuited positions, not knowing what we would do there. But as we did, we became aware of the masculine energy which formed the foundations of this cathedral and the religious beliefs that went with it. Everything was about male domination, male supremacy, male control. The structure of the building itself was infused with this energy, especially where we stood. At one point this was where the tomb of St Swithin and the bones of the Kings of England were once kept, moved there by our old friend Henry du Blois from their previous position in the Old Minster.
We stood at the site of St. Swithin’s tomb and tuned in, becoming aware that we were still physically surrounded on all sides by male effigies; the tombs of wealthy bishops, saints, etc. It was as if they were the solid foundations of the building itself, holding the very male ideas around God, power and control in place. I received the thought that the white flame needed to be anchored here, right in the centre of these male figureheads. But it had to be done from the lady chapel behind where we stood, where the feminine energy was anchored.
We stood in the doorway of the lady chapel on slabs of fossil-filled limestone. I was very aware that we were standing on a very ancient sea energy. This was significant too, for where this fossil-rich limestone had first been laid down was once the floor of a warm shallow sea and these waters are often experienced as the domain of the Divine Feminine Womb of Creation.
From our position in the doorway, itself an initiatic gateway, we saw a huge white flame anchor in the space between the tombs that surrounded it. It grew steadily larger and brighter. I was aware that there were two levels to this energy: one, the older level, which was once the ground level, and the other the higher level on which we now stood. Because the white flame is a higher frequency than the other flames they are often anchored on a higher level. Years ago, my friend Eartha and I were in Corfe Castle in Dorset. There, on a higher floor where, once, the chapel was situated, we anchored a smaller white flame. I knew then that it was significantly higher and was not to be anchored on the level we were on: the lower level. We anchored the flame standing on the remaining few steps which once allowed access to the upstairs chapel.
Here, in Winchester Cathedral, the White flame was a higher feminine vibration and was anchored to transform the control exerted by the patriarchy over sacred/religious places. This also felt very connected to the situation in Israel/Palestine, as if everything would slowly disintegrate and a new feminine awareness would become more apparent. There was a sense that there was no need for the present patriarchal institutions to be destroyed; that was not the feminine way. Instead, the negative structures of the patriarchy could be transmuted, transformed, healed, and the new, higher vibrational energy of the Divine Feminine would change the effect of male anger and their need for complete control. As a result, they would need to give in a little and see with the heart.
When this felt complete, and we could see the flame reaching the vaulted ceiling, I felt the white flame anchor in my base chakra. It burst into flame all the way up my spine, but it was not in my body, like my chakras are, but half in and half outside, flaming up my back. My base chakra was hot and I wondered what effect this flame would have on my life. I did not have to wait long to see just how powerful it was. The flame travelled up my back, getting larger as it went, burning through all my chakras until it emerged at the back of my head where it was contained by a gold crown. (Both my friend and I had this experience She has been doing the Gaia method Earthways for over twenty years). The gold crown contains the flame so that it burns within a limit and not wildly. The gold anchors it at that frequency. I have anchored flames like this in Castlerigg Stone Circle, and in Southampton waters at the meeting of the two rivers, and their influence affects a large area. There have been times when the extent of the energy from Southampton waters could be felt in Winchester.
Once we felt that the energies were complete, we walked back over to to the flame and I found myself adding the barest touch of blue, magenta and gold energy, which gave the vaguest hue to the white flame. These three additional colours are the three rays of Love, Wisdom and Power. (Thanks N for the reminder). Through the cleansing fire of the Divine Feminine, these three ray energies are added to the healing power of the flame.
I had a feeling that this personal anchoring of the flames in my body was going to be a big transmutation, but I had no idea how big until the following week when I went through an emotional clearing like never before. Secrets and lies in my family of origin were painfully exposed and old abuses were finally spoken, especially issues around the men in my family. It was an extremely painful week as injustice, which had been a large part of my life, was brought to light, and I held nothing back. There was a huge need to speak the hidden truths and to stand up for who I was, for the me that was not what others believed me to be. The releasing of these secrets, and they were not mine but those of others, but which once had a massive effect on my life and the lives of my children, was like a black tree whose darkened roots were being torn from different parts of my body. I was very much aware of a past life dynamic that was also being healed so there were multiple levels to deal with. I imagine that as the flame travelled through the chakras they were healing anything that was not Divine Feminine Love.
As a result, I have had a first-hand experience of the power of this Flame and understand how it might change things in the collective unconscious. Things might get a bit chaotic as these energies are released but if we remember that all is in Divine order, then all will be well.
This morning, I had an entire hour to spare, so Chris and I went to the Michaelmas Craft Fair in St Cross Hospital, Winchester. It is a place where we have carried out much energy-work over the years and this was a great opportunity to do more. And I love it there. It’s the only fair I ever go to. However much I wanted to have more time, it was a flying visit, but we did manage to get coffee and some delicious homemade fruit cake – and I bought some jewellery. I was quite proud of myself too, because I avoided buying yet more books! Even though I was so tempted by some old books on Winchester ‘Antiquities’.
Bit of a tree-theme going on…
St Cross Hospital is an old almshouse set up to feed the poor by Bishop Henry du Blois in 1136. It also fed people who were making pilgrimages. All they had to do was ask at the little window in the wall and a brother would pop his head out and give them their dole of Bread and Beer and they could be on their way. Although I always like to imagine them sitting by the river Itchen to eat and drink what they have received before heading off again on the God-trail. St Cross Hospital is a beautiful place, and from where the pilgrims sat, they would have seen St Catherine’s Hill beyond, looking like a giant womb jutting up behind the river.
This weekend we were also vibrationally attending a ‘Sounds of Mother Gaia’ workshop held by Jadthen Jewall in Surrey. He is an amazing channel and we have been attending his workshops for over twenty years. Being a vibrational attendee, as opposed to attending in person, means we are energetically connected to the workshop and receive the group downloads as they happen. It works like receiving distant attunements or healing. I had already made my energetic connection in the morning, clearing my energy field before going to the fair and soon after the workshop started, I felt the energy coming in strongly. I was glad Chris was the one doing the driving!
As we drove into the field, which had been opened for parking, we were aware of the Green dragon sitting on the roof. Chris perceived it was calling to another dragon energy, but in a place we have never been to: Worcester Cathedral. Perhaps someone else has anchored one there, or one needs to be anchored there? We’ll have to see – when we get the opportunity to visit. We have seen the dragon there before, but always on the building, facing west. Yet, we have never worked with it specifically. But it made me think of the places we have anchored green dragons in and all of them are sacred buildings built over natural springs, which is what the green dragons protect. The Green Dragon in Winchester Cathedral also faces West, I realised. I wonder if there is a reason for that?
Our first port of call, once inside the grounds, was to go to the fish pond. This is a lovely area to the east of the cloisters called The Master’s garden and it has a beautiful Plane tree growing there close to the pond. The tree has been there, along with others in the area, since 1781, and was planted by William Bowles, a fellow of Winchester College. Reading through the last time we worked with these trees, I noticed that we connected in the same way, to the plane trees along the walking route through the water meadows. It seems that plane trees have a golden-rod energy through them. I usually work with Beech and Yew, and those species have a different way of working. The plane trees act as energetic stabilisers.

Working with this one now, we stood a little distance from the trunk but still within the energy-field of the tree, and tuned in. I became aware of my gold line connection, running vertically through my central channel, and making a connection to the same central line of the tree. I felt my awareness move up that corresponding channel in the tree trunk, which looks and feels like a strong golden rod, and move out, energetically, into the branches and leaves. Tiny musical notes floated out of the leaves and moved into the air, filling the atmosphere with the vibrations of energetic sound. That sound vibration then expanded out in a never-ending stream to cover a large area.
I left the connection running in the tree, so for a certain amount of time that tree will remain connected to my channel until it is no longer needed. Chris felt that the tree pulled in energy from around itself, so it made sense the tree should receive these sound codes.
Feeling like there was nothing more to do here, we went into the church. It took a conscious shift in energy to move from those lovely tree-vibrations to the vibrations of human history and initially, I thought there was nothing to do here. I took some photos and Chris received information about Henry Du Blois, whose energy places we have worked with many times. I began to receive energies in the form of a Middle Eastern man who placed a large ornate chest in front of me. When he opened it it contained the bones of someone. It reminded me of the old tradition of carrying saint’s bones to different places, as though those bones still hold some of the saint’s energy. The bones were then transferred into my belly, as though now I was the container. I heard the word Agincourt, connected to this.
I have no idea who this is, or why I am carrying the energy of them. I have to say, I have never done this before so will have to see what it means. On an energetic level, it just means I am carrying the energy of the person and I assume that energy has to be put somewhere else.
We left the church and went back outside to have a look at the stalls, and stopped at an archaeological dowsing stall for a chat. Chris had a play with the stall holder’s dowsing rods, (Chris has been doing it for years and is brilliant at it!) and they kept moving in a particular direction. I knew I needed to be right in the centre of the green square, where the sundial is, so I left Chris chatting while I went to work. He joined me when he was finished. He perceived himself to be standing on tiles, like the medieval tiles in Winchester Cathedral (He was planning on going to Winchester later in the day), yet he was physically standing on grass. Psychic impressions often happen with this type of work and they may be showing the past , or the future.
Earlier on, while doing my daily somatic exercises, I brought in an energy made up of a blue, pink and yellow cord plied together like yarn. I knew it had to go somewhere and as I stood at the sundial I saw the energy moving from the sky and down through the sundial where it split off into four lines of plied colour. Each line then went to a corner of the inner space. It felt very balanced and stabilising once it had been established.
Energy placements.
Once this had been done, the amethyst appeared above the plied triple colours, its energies flowing down along them and into the area. The three colours represent Pink = Unconditional Love; Blue = Divine Power and Yellow = Divine Wisdom. The Amethyst level is the highest crystalline energy in Gaia’s energy body and holds the divine blueprint and thoughtforms for humanity. Therefore it opens people’s higher minds to access new thoughts and ideas which can benefit everybody. It is a lovely thought that these energies can flow into this place, which has an energetic influence far greater than its physical self.
I had no time left, so Chris went into Winchester to visit the cathedral. When he got there, a tall, energetic gold flagpole stood about twenty meters in front of the main entrance. A sapphire was placed halfway up this flagpole, and the faceted crystal sphere he had been given in St. Cross Hospital, was now placed near the top. Inside the cathedral, another sapphire hovered in the air above the heart point in the nave (there are three energy points along the nave corresponding to the three Tan Tien of the physical body: The Earth tan tien, the heart, and the third eye. These points are on the blue energy-line which flows beneath the Cathedral from east to west).
This seems relatively normal, in terms of active energies, however, behind the cathedral, he saw a Ruby cube rotating. I’ve never seen one of these, and neither has he, but this site is a masculine power site, with a feminine spring beneath it, so perhaps we will have to see more to understand what this means. Platonic solids possibly? The cube would be a hexahedron, the sapphire shape an octahedron and the quartz crystal an icosohedron That equates to earth, air and water.
Plato believed that these shapes were the building blocks of creation. So the shapes in the Cathedral are earth, air and water. The two placed on the flagpole are on different energy levels so they affect those layers. The same thing applies to the one in the cathedral, above the heart energy point and the one behind the building.
What this means, I do not know. “Ours is not to reason why; ours is but to do .. or die.” Well … maybe not the die. Not yet, anyway. There’s far too much work to do. But I, for one, would love to understand what function these geometric shapes have over the energies in the cathedral – in a practical sense. But maybe we’ll never know. We simply have to trust that our higher selves know what they are doing.
A few weeks ago, I had a sudden impulse to take a different route to my father’s house, (every time I write My Father’s house, I think ironically of the biblical heaven, which it clearly isn’t) and went through Littleton, in Hampshire, passing Flowerdown Barrow as I did. Passing the site, I felt a connection to the barrow, which then anchored itself in my lower hara centre, behind my navel. This is my energetic connection to Mother Earth the human energy field. The connection looks, to my inner sight, like a gold cord, vibrant and alive.
I wondered what I was supposed to do with it. Two weeks later…
5th September.
This morning was one of those mornings when I had no desire to do anything. Usually, my mornings are filled with a routine: reading for an hour, somatic exercises, then breakfast, followed by a shower, and then writing for a bit, or getting some shopping for Dad. On mornings when my time feels empty of purpose, I have learned that that is when I need to go out and walk – there is energy-work to do – somewhere.
I drove in the direction of Barton Stacey, still unsure of my destination, until the idea to visit Flowerdown popped loudly into my head! I had wanted to visit the stone beside the barrow there since I had a dream about menhirs a month ago. The dream showed how outlying menhirs were anchors of fertility, like electricity pylons, creating an anchor for the energies of the larger sites that control fertility, such as stone circles and disc barrows. They are erected on a line of energy from the main site and then that energy is transmitted into the surrounding landscape, adding energy to the land.
This is very much the same as having acupuncture to keep your body’s meridians flowing. The energy flows, unhindered, through your chakras. These chakras, or ‘wheels’, distribute the energy throughout your body, filling it with vitality. When the tissues are infused with higher vibrational energy, the body is healthy and can do what it was designed to do.
Stone circles ‘contain’ the energy of the land, which is brought into it from the solar energies at specific times of the year. It is channelled into the energy point below it, or into underground waterways, which then feeds the surrounding countryside, like a chakra point. But a circle only has a certain radius. The way to get around this is to place outliers, menhirs, which can hold an energy line from the circle and radiate it into its locality. One circle, either stone or henge, can have many outliers at a certain distance from it, and I imagine, the tall individual standing stones would have stood within a certain area and also be used as territorial marker stones, or signposts. They might have had multiple uses, but their primary purpose would have been as an energy transmitter.
Thinking about that, it makes me wonder if the menhirs also signposted the proximity of a sacred site? The people back then would have known and understood the function of the Menhirs, and would have also known how to use them to find their way to sites or settlements.
The stones, stone circles, and barrows do the same for the landscape as acupuncture needles do for the body. If the energy is flowing well, the fertility of the soil means better crops and healthier livestock. The sarsen in Littleton, which had been found in 1906 in Dean Down Drove, would have been connected to the Flowerdown Barrow, the largest barrow in Hampshire and, according to ‘Upstairs’, one of the most important sacred sites in the prehistoric area of modern-day Hampshire.
The stone itself is beautiful. It is a golden sandy colour and might have stood at least a meter higher if the top had not been broken off. I also found some interesting markings on it which maybe someone can explain to me. There are many scratches on one surface, which makes me think they could have happened during the move to Chilcomb Museum. But there is a definite lozenge carved into the surface. Again, it could be accidental, but equally, it might have been intentional. You can see these lines in one of the photos below. The lozenge seems to be part of a bigger pattern but the stone is quite damaged here too.
The stone is obviously not in its original position, it was moved originally from Dean Down Drove, which leads off from the barrrows, but I can find no evidence of the stone on old OS maps so it might have been buried under years of mud and vegetation. But there is also a hole which has been bored low down on one side, which I initially thought was a core sampling hole, however, it is too shallow and too wide. Could it have been used as a gate post, perhaps at some more recent date? That is what it reminded me of, yet there is no record of a stone anywhere near either of the Dean farms, where, I imagine, the drove-way lead to – or from… The hole might also have been caused by rain but I would have thought there would have been more, in that case…
On this particular visit, my job was to connect the stone to the disc barrow, as I imagined it was originally connected before it was moved or had fallen over. But first, I had to walk anti-clockwise around the first barrow, something I had not done on all my previous visits. Halfway around the barrow, I became aware of a woman in handwoven, woollen clothes standing on top of it. She watched me, as I went around, and I got the impression that she was waiting to see if I knew what I was doing. She continued to watch, while I finished the round.
I was then told to create a lemniscate, the infinity symbol, by walking anti-clockwise around the disc barrow, joining the two barrows. I’m always curious why things happen at certain times. I have been coming to this barrow site for nearly twenty years and only now are these two barrows being connected. As I came close, to where I started walking around the larger barrow, I felt energy rising which to me feels like excited anticipation. Sometimes it makes me want to exhale forcibly, but not this time. I have to say, feeling energy that way is one of the things that makes this work so enjoyable. It is as though I am doing what I am supposed to do, working with the landscape the way our ancestors did. In that moment of rising energy, I am the ancestors.
As I completed the round of the disc barrow, I stopped to take some photos and then heard ‘Complete the circuit’. I realised that I had not gone back to the beginning. There was still about two meters to go. I completed the circuit, as instructed, then walked into the centre of the barrow. I was immediately aware of the emerald energy but it was coming in with a blue ray, like sapphire. I have worked with Sapphire before but I’m still not sure where it fits. I asked what this ray was and was shown a blue dragon descending through it. Aha! The blue dragon is water, rain. My immediate thought was, ‘Haven’t we had enough of that?!’ (As it turned out, the land in parts of Littleton floods when the winter bourne rises).
The emerald energy above the sapphite tube represents the energy of vegetation so in that context, it made sense that the blue dragon would descend down a column of sapphire. You can’t have vegatation without water.
Once this energy had been fully anchored, I moved off the barrow. As I approached the other, smaller burial mound, I heard: ‘A message for you.’ The woman in her reddish-brown, shin-length dress was there again. She wore a blueish tartan-like top, all handwoven, and was old, her hair yellow-white. She would have been fair-haired when she was younger.
As she looked down at me from the top of the mound, she held out a package wrapped in soft brown leather, tied with a leather thong. ‘Take this,’ she said, ‘And guard it well.’ She placed a yellow flower on top of the package, which looked like a dandelion, or cat’s ear, then added, ‘For the chosen one.’ I took the package, knowing I had to pass it on to someone else. Then she said, ‘For you.’ And she gave me a bottle, the lower rounded half wrapped in a leather casing, like a bottle of sweet wine, or Sherry, from Spain.
She then went on to tell me that she was a Mother in the local community, which now lies beneath Littleton … somewhere. As I was walking away, she stood and waved, but now she had her granddaughter with her, reminding me that her daughter was a spiritual leader within the community and that she herself was teaching her granddaughter, just as the Neolithic ancestors had done. It also made me wonder if both hers, and her granddaughter’s, ashes were in the smaller barrow. It also made me think there was a subtle message there too about teaching my own granddaughters…
Later, I wondered if the single yellow flower represented the energy of this ancient Down (a Hampshire word meaning a chalkland hill) which had been called Flower Down. It has been called Flower Down for centuries, possibly because of the profusion of wildflowers that grow on chalkland, and it has been called that since before 1750. It was originally used as common land to graze animals, and therefore never ploughed. This is why the barrows were left alone and undamaged. It must have been beautiful if they called it after the flowers that grew there, the land fertilised by all the animals. After the Enclosures Act, a patch of land, with the barrows on it, was allowed for the villagers; the rest was owned by a landowner. Thankfully, he left them that part, or we might not still have them and all that information would be lost!
Continueing my journey to Dad’s, I passed hte Running Horse Inn and had the thought that I should have breakfast there one day, that therre was something beneath it that needing accessing. So, next Sunday, we are going to check it out. I’ll let you know what happens.
If you are ever in Winchester, pay Flowerdown Disc Barrow a visit, and tune in. It is a wonderful place, as many Wintonians can vouch for. I know some of you already know this stone, and these barrows, very well indeed.
A few months ago, I was driving through Crab Wood, (on the outskirts of Winchester, in Hampshsire) and received a message from the trees which, at the time, I completely misinterpreted. Crab Wood is an older woodland on the outskirts of Winchester, in hampshire. It is covered in bluebells in late Spring and has been coppiced since at least the sixteenth century. It also contains beech trees, some large old oak, birch and ash and lies within the boundaries of Farley Mount Woods, which has its own elemental energy guardian.

I was feeling particularly tired, over-extended and emotionally drained on that day, and I needed the green of early spring leaves to make me feel normal again. The one-track road snakes through the woods, surrounded on each side by beech trees planted to create a boundary line, and as I drove along I suddenly felt like I was a tree and had four large branches, each extending, like arms, in four directions. At the time, I interpreted this to mean I was being supported by the tree, and that it existed somewhere in these woods. It felt very nurturing, as though the tree was reminding me that I was not alone; my tree-family were with me. At that point, it was exactly what I needed, and so feeling soothed, I continued on to my father’s home.
Three weeks ago, (July 13th) I drove that way again, but I was early and decided to stop off in a layby to go for a walk. I had passed a path through the trees many times but never stopped to explore it. Today was the day for exploration. I followed the path until I saw a huge old beech tree, which on approaching, I could feel its energy. It extended out about twenty feet from the trunk.
First Beech Tree.
For this tree, I had to walk around it anti-clockwise and when I did, I placed my hand on its trunk and allowed my consciousness to travel upwards into its branches. There, I experienced a mind-to-mind connection, like a melding of consciousness, and I was told I needed to walk back the way I had come because there was another tree I needed to connect to. As I walked away, following the instructions, I felt a gold line connect to my crown centre from the upper branches which I knew was to do with the other tree.
When I came to the road, there was the tree I had passed on my way into the woods. I had noticed it at the time but, because I felt no energy from it, continued along the path. But I had needed to notice it because it turned out to be important. That often happens. You notice something but it doesn’t feel ‘quite right’. Yet!
I tuned into the tree and saw an amethyst above its branches. At first, I thought I was imagining it. Why would a tree be connecting to an upper, crystalline layer? But then, I saw energy from the amethyst layer flow into the branches, filling them up. But the energy didn’t stop where the branches did, it continued to flow out the end of each tip creating a giant amethyst sphere all around the tree.
Seocond Beech tree beside the road.
The tree was the conduit, and anchor, for the amethyst energy which spread out well beyond it. I had the idea that every person who drove by, or walked that path, would receive some of this energy and the thoughtforms it contained. The amethyst level of the earth’s crystalline field is a higher frequency layer akin to the spiritual mind of Earth, if you imagine that earth has its own energy field, just as we do. That Mind contains ideas and thoughts that can benefit the world, like a computer database which we can download mentally, if we are given access. I wondered what those thoughts and ideas might be. Perhaps ways of caring for the woodland and the surrounding countryside, or more in line with what nature wants, rather than what we think it needs? Or, perhaps, they could be spiritual ideas, ways of staying healthy or ways to connect with trees. I don’t know. But I will be keeping an eye on what happens in the area.
I didn’t have time to do more, although I knew that on the other side of the road, and up the path through that part of the woods, there was another tree I needed to find. But it would have to wait until next time.
On the seventeenth of July, having time to spare, I followed the path through the other woods. I had no idea where to find this tree but I knew it was there somewhere. I walked through the woodland, took photos of fungi, and felt the trees I came to along the way. Feeling is about opening awareness and feeling for the vibration of consciousness. The right tree would make itself known. Having wandered for over half an hour, following little paths that meandered through the woods, I found myself in a clearing. There was the tree I was looking for.
First Mother Tree
There were two trees in this clearing and I knew both were significant. One was a Mother Tree, the other, a Brother. That is how they came to me. They didn’t feel ‘awake’, but I acknowledged them both and went to the older Mother Tree to tune in. I sat at the base of the tree but felt the need to walk anti-clockwise around it. However, when I had finished the first circuit, I continued to walk clockwise around the Brother Tree, thereby creating a lemniscate pattern of golden light. I did this three times. Something made me feel this was not simply about the trees but also about a situation in ‘real life’, that this joining was about joining a mother with a son. Yet this figure of eight pattern not only joined, energetically, it also created a boundaried separation, as though it was saying: you are energetically connected, but exist independentlywith your own purpose, and within your own space. And that is as it should be.
The Brother Tree
I was impulsed to stand on the cross-over point of the pattern of eight and as I did, I saw a gold line going from this point along the way I had come, then another going off in the opposite direction. I knew I had to follow this second line.
This gold-line direction was showing me the path to another tree, and I had to completely trust my intuition, because I was in the woods after all, and the paths are not straight, as the gold line was. But the next tree was so obvious. It was huge, very old and the energy emanating from it was unmistakable.
The Guardian.
I walked towards her and her energy was strong. She invited me to connect with her, so I walked around her once, and then leaned my back against her wide trunk. Then I heard her say: I am an old woman, guardian of these woods for many years. I hold the elemental energies of this place, ensuring all is kept in balance. She felt so old, like a grandmother, and all the trees were her children. Much like the tree in the woods beside Lainston house on a previous visit.
Then she went on to give me advice on how to work with the elemental energies of France and Spain, which is the next part of my journey, once I am complete here in the UK. As she spoke, I had that familiar feeling of wanting to curl up in her roots and sleep like a baby. This is a common experience when connecting with a Mother tree. They have such a nurturing energy that you feel you want to lie down in the safety and love they provide. In the photo just above, you can see how children have created a couple of rope swings to swing from her branches, which is lovely.
Before I left, she gave me an etheric bottle of her essence, to fill me when I needed extra energetic help. These etheric energies kick in when needed and most times I don’t know I am using them. Much of it happens in the astral layer of the energy field.
That earlier connection, through one tree, as I drove through Crab Wood, was a download I would be using at some later point, but which I didn’t recognise at the time. And that is often how it works. You could be given an energy that might come into play months, even years, after the initial download. But as soon as you ‘see’ it, while working, you will recognise it and remember. In effect, you are like a living computer with installed software in the different layers of your energy field which you only use when called to do so. Which is reassuring because then, nothing is wasted. Even if you have to take breaks between the times you work and the times you cannot, you can be safe knowing that the energies will be used at some point. Sometimes too, it is not the right time and other things need to happen first, or you need further development before you are ready for that particular job.
But rest assured, it will happen, because once the download is installed, it is only a matter of time.
What was most interesting to me about this particular tree-work was the connection with the crystalline Amethyst sphere. I had not been aware that trees could channel these energies, or that they were compatible with the very different crystalline energies and were able to hold them. But I suppose, if we, as healers, can hold the energies of trees perhaps I should not be so surprised that trees can hold the energies of crystals. The tree was an anchor for those energies, like bringing heaven to earth, making those higher thoughts available to us here on the ground.
If you want to visit, the tree is on the left side just before you leave the woods on the way to Sparsholt Village. It lies next to the path which leads up along the wood boundary.
This was very simple sharing of the Magdalene Flame. After the last anchoring in Bullington church, I wasn’t feeling any great urge to do any more, yet a little energy still seemed to remain. I wasn’t sure what this residual energy was but I decided to follow the ‘sign-post’ anyway and headed to the beautiful village of Wherwell, which I thought might be the next destination. However, while I was driving, with only an hour in which to visit, just as I was passing the turn-off for Chilbolton, I followed the impulse to take that instead.

Chilbolton is another church on the circuit and the other churches were actually part of old Chilbolton Manor, as I discovered while researching St. Catherine’s in Littleton. I don’t like doing this research before doing the work as I don’t want my mental information to interfere with my intuitive hunches, although, many times, I am unaware of the church’s role in the circuit until I work with it. Once I’ve done the work, then I can do the research. This is also useful because it can confirm the information you have picked up with y our intuition.
It was only when I got to the village that I recognised it. I had been here before and had made a connection with a beautiful old Pine tree outside the main entrance. Actually, it was the tree I recognised, and as soon as I saw it I knew I had been there before. On my first visit, over twenty years ago, I was greeted by this old tree, and its energy spread out all around the area. Its job was as guardian, holding the energy for the area. Today, however, it was quiet, but I said hello anyway.
Old Pine.
I had originally been introduced to this place by a friend called Lisa, who used to be the minister here. When I knew her, I was working in the Speaking Tree Bookshop in Winchester and she was a regular visitor. She was a very interesting lady who was trying to come to terms with intuitive knowledge while working as a Christian minister. She also had a wonderful connection to a Greek Goddess. Together we visited a number of prehistoric sacred places around Andover and received interesting information about the Anna Valley. (I’ll root it out and post it for anyone who might be interested).
I wandered inside the church, wondering if Lisa was still a minister there, and tried to connect to the energies. Finally, standing in front of the altar, I found myself channelling a prayer. I am not a pray-er, so when this happens, I am often immediately uncomfortable, but, reframing it, a prayer is a petition, so I put my judgement aside and said the words that came into my head.
“O holy Mother, I ask permission to install your flame so that all who visit and worship here can partake of your living, abundant energy. Let no person leave without you in their heart and may all who come here benefit from your wisdom and love. Let also those who receive it pass it on to those who need it. Amen.”
After this, I saw myself placing an already lit, large magenta candle on the altar. Although the candle was Magenta, the flame was orange; a combination of the Magdalene and Brigit energies. The light of the flame expanded filling the space with warmth and light. Next, just as at Crawley and Bullington, the May Queen’s Hawthorn flower wreath was placed around the candle’s base thereby anchoring the May energies too.
This was a short and simple anchoring of a portion of the Magdalene Flame and the feminine Spring mysteries.

Sometimes, the anchorings are this simple, especially if they come on the heel of longer workings. There must be some significance that, aside from the original Church of St. Edward the Confessor anchoring, all the others are part of the same network. Chilbolton was originally granted by King Athelstan to the church of Winchester and until church properties were taken by Henry VIII, the manor of Chilbolton remained in Church hands. Edward the confessor was the last Saxon king and was crowned at Winchester cathedral in April 1043. That makes me wonder if the anchoring of the Magdalene Flame has something to do with that time layer, when many small Saxon churches were founded.
The early Saxons were pagans but converted to Christianity under the influence of Irish missionaries (wouldn’t you know!). BUT, Irish Christianity was a different Christianity to the more dogmatic Roman version. On the Aran islands, back in 2006/7, my friend and I discovered a very beautiful Christianity, more nature-based than dogmatic, so this, I imagine, is why the pagan Saxons were able to accept Christianity in the first place. It was a beautiful movement which honoured both Mother and Father. Although it probably wasn’t as idyllic as I’m painting it. Saxon bishops were probably proclaiming their Saxon Christian power in the same way as other people have usurped the purity of spiritual energy and beliefs, using God as their weapon.
Looking at the history of Saxon churches and Edward the Confessor, it appears that he wanted to change the English church, with its hundreds of saints and continuing beliefs in Elves and Goblins, to a more European version, which was very Roman. Most of the churches in the Manor of Chilbolton were originally founded by the Saxons and might have been built on earlier sacred sites. But I might be looking for connections that don’t actually exist. Yet, when I think about working in a network of churches like I have been doing, there is a reason why those places are important, especially when they are historically connected. The Henry du Blois connection, at Littleton, was important, because he was more than simply a historic character. He was a very spiritual man who was devoted to the Divine Feminine consciousness and built his own network of churches with the intention of anchoring the balance between the male and female, although it would have been couched in terms more acceptable to the religious public.
Henry Du Blois
But, there is also the Soul development aspect which plays a part. Humanity goes through cycles of beliefs, just as individuals do, and there are times when those beliefs need to be tweaked. Spiritual ideas are anchored at those points which the Guides of Humanity hope will take root. They don’t always, or if they do, the more emotional human desires get in the way and those new ideas are either rooted out or suppressed. No one knows how thoughtforms will be received, Humans have free-will and therefore make their own choices. I had an experience of this myself.
Twenty-three years ago, when I was working in the Speaking Tree bookshop, a man began coming in. He claimed to be a healer and told me he wanted to train as a Reiki practitioner. However, his idea of Reiki was to become a Reiki Master over a weekend and make lots of money. He was also someone who took advantage of women, using them for his own ends and fancied himself another David Icke. He had a choice as to how to use his ability to channel healing energies but he had free-will and therefore could act as he pleased. There will always be people who put power and money over Love, but the hope is that if enough people choose Love, they just might create something different, even if only in small, quiet communities. And who knows? Maybe Reiki helped that man heal his power issues, or maybe he was a Dark Knight, there to help people find their own power – the hard way.
In our little community of Chilbolton Manor Churches, the hope is that the energies will affect people with open minds and help bring a note of balance to the world.
St Mary’s Church is a lovely village church, set back from the main street in Crawley. I had decided to drive through the top of the village, rather than the bottom like I normally do, on impulse. The village pond is at the bottom of this village and I like to see the ducks and coots sitting on the grass beside it or trying to walk across the frozen surface during cold spells.
St Mary’s Church.
This time, As I drove past, I had no intention of stopping. I had not received any energetic information about doing this church, no energy-connections or visual information to tell me I needed to do anything here, yet I spontaneously decided to stop. Sometimes, when that happens, it is as if another part of me wants my personality part to explore something. I usually have to give in because if I don’t, it tugs at me for days afterwards.
I parked up and walked the path through the very pretty graveyard. Inside, the church was freezing. I imagine it is too expensive to heat an empty church so they leave the heating off until they hold services.
As usual, I went straight to the Altar but felt nothing. Nada, zilch, not a glimmer. What was I doing here, then, I wondered. Why did I stop instead of simply driving past? I checked the time on my phone and discovered I had forgotten my reading glasses. Damn! Then I thought that I really shouldn’t be so negative. The feelings of irritation would not help me to pick anything up.
Looking towards the Altar.
Because I could feel nothing there, I decided to look at the structure of the building. Energetically, nothing was happening in this part of the church. It also felt like there was no energy here at all but I could not understand why there wasn’t. I looked behind me and noticed the fragments of Norman dogtooth pattern on the masonry of the arch. I felt like I was looking at the external wall of the building and that this part with the altar was added on years after the Norman building. There were two very distinct energy regions going on.
Dog’s tooth pattern.
I walked into, what I felt, was the original part of the building and when I stood looking at the altar from there, I heard someone say ‘Go back a little further’. So I took a few steps back and when I did, saw a bright Brigit flame ignite on the ground in front of me. I continued to watch it as it grew until it had expanded as much as it was going to expand.
Next, I saw myself place a green and white crown of hawthorn blossoms at its base. This is the energy of the ancient Feminine Spring rituals that we had been given the gift of experiencing a couple of years ago at the Bronze Age burial mounds on Magdalene Down, on the other side of Winchester.

Once this had been anchored at the flame’s base, I saw a gold bejewelled crown being placed above the flame. This felt like a more Christian, Godly symbol, where the hawthorn was distinctly ‘pagan’ as if the two belief systems were being joined.
I had ‘brought in’ energy the previous day while cooking my father’s evening meal. Often, when doing something very unconnected with energy, I feel the energy coming in, activating in my body. When this happens, I feel the urge to raise my arms into the air to receive something or to bring down energy for some future work. In this instance, I was given a gold crown with jewels on it. It was big when it was above my head but as it moved over me it became smaller until it eventually fit snuggly around my waist. At the time I did not know what it was for, or why it was around my body, like a girdle (remember those?), but I soon forgot about it and got on with the cooking.
Now, however, I watched as the crown moved down to contain the uppermost part of the flame, just like the girdle. I have done this with flames before, but not with a crown. Usually, the containing energy looks like a wedding band, containing the energy of a flame and holding it at a constant frequency. It doesn’t matter how big the flame is, the gold band will hold its upper part so that the flame curves out over it.
Containing Energy of the Gold Crown.
The final part of this activation was the image of a priest swinging a thurible of incense over the area, allowing the smoke to waft over the bright orange flame. This dedicates and sanctifies the flame, blessing it. This image of a catholic priest blessing a Brigit Flame felt like an acceptance of some older, pre-Christian energies.
The energy of the Brigit Flame is a very different energy from the Magdalene Flame. It is a more earthy, creative vibration, whereas the Magdalene Flame is of a higher heart/thought vibration. The Brigit Flame relates to the Tan Tien in the human body, the creative centre behind the navel; the Magdalene Flame is a heart energy but from a higher spiritual level in the energy body. It allows access to higher levels of Soul information and intention.
There are seven energy layers in the earth’s energy body just as our energy-body has seven layers. The first level is the fiery lava beneath the earth’s mantle; the second level is water as it runs below the surface of the earth; the third level is the surface. These three levels make up the creative layers of the physical world. But above these three physical levels the energy changes. It is no longer physical. The layer immediately above the earth is a magenta, ruby layer, relating to the Mother consciousness. Certain sites are created to connect to this layer and we can create energy tubes to channel this living, rosy energy onto the physical plane. The MF (Magdalene Flame) is the aspect of the Mother that heals the wounded male energies and as such, it is an archetypal energy.
Magenta Mother Layer.
There are similarities between how older, prehistoric sites, and later sites, are set up to channel and hold both the energies of the Brigit Flame and the Ruby (the Magdalene flame is an archetypal energy of the Ruby/Mother energy). The BF is often in the centre of a circular site, where people would have been living, but the MF is usually at a gateway point some distance from the site centre but from where it can feed the entire area, adding the love of the Divine Mother. The creative energies of the MF positively influence the more physical creations manifested by the BF. In the past, before Christianity, the MF would have been known by another name, but we no longer know what that is. Perhaps it was simply Mother.
I was reminded of the manifesting energies of this work when I had finished the flame-work and had headed over to the Norman baptism font. I took a couple of photos and then something on the floor caught my eye.
Can you see them?
A pair of glasses. Laughing at myself for forgetting the principles of manifesting, I picked them up and put them on. I didn’t believe for one minute that they would be perfect. But they were, and I could write down all I had done so I wouldn’t forget it. It is easy not to remember important details later. They fade away like the mist.
I left them on the font before I left. Someone else might have forgotten theirs, or the owner might come back to claim them.
Thank you, St Mary’s, for the timely lesson around the manifesting energies of the Brigit Flame – and the perfect vision.
Driving through Sparsholt again, I noticed, as I came out of Crab wood, over 1.19 km away from St Stephens’ church, that the Magdalene Flame I had anchored only a few days ago, had energetically expanded. It now covered an area of over two kilometres in diameter. I was surprised at how fast this had happened but as I drove closer to the church I felt my Hara centre (behind my navel) activate. I was making a connection to the flame via an energetic cord which stayed with me as I drove past, elongating like an elastic band.
Extent of Magdalene Flame
As I passed the church, this sensation became stronger but now I knew that I was taking that connection with me to put someplace else, but as yet did not know where. I continued on to Barton Stacey intending to take the small side road that would take me closer to the road I needed but instead, I was told to “take the long way”. I did what they said and continued on towards Lainston House crossroads and again, I was told to “go straight ahead”. This was the old road to Littleton village and as I came closer to the village I knew why they had sent me that way.
St. Catherine’s Church is another one of those churches built on a mound. Originally a Saxon church, and perhaps before that another sacred site, the church was built in an area of ancient sacred significance. It lies only five hundred meters away, to the north of the Flowerdown burial mounds: three Bronze Age burials which were also the site of ancient, important ceremonies.
Flowerdown Barrows
Still feeling the connection in my stomach, I made my way into the church and headed towards the altar. This church had a lovely village-y feel and once again, I had the awareness that it was well-loved.
As I walked towards the raised platform, I heard my guides say, ‘put your hand on the Altar’. My immediate reaction was: ‘I can’t do that! What if someone comes in and sees me?’ Old fears die hard, I realised. I was still seeing the altar as the domain of the priest, a figure of authority from my Catholic childhood; a male authority. When I resisted, again I heard ‘Put your hand on the altar.’ There was no way around it. I glanced around, just to make sure there was no one else there, and placed my right hand on the white cloth of the altar.
As soon as my palm touched it, I heard ‘my Higher Self say ‘I consecrate this church to Mary Magdalene, disciple of the most holy Jesus Christ; Mother of all and purveyor of all good things.’ A bit religious, I thought, but later realised that she was the feminine to his masculine. They are archetypal energies, after all. I don’t work with religions but symbols and archetypes are contained in them too. I see these personalities as energy thought-forms rather than physical beings, even if they once did have a physical life on earth, even if not the life we are told about.
Next, the Magdalene Flame appeared and it became the magenta channel. This channel, which looks like a hollow tube, sits behind the altar where the person who leads the service stands. It goes from the floor to above somewhere and always reminds me of the transporter in Star Trek.
I can only assume that the person standing in the beam, leading the service, will be influenced by the Divine Feminine energies anchored there. A previous visit to the Catholic cathedral in Arundel showed me how regular ritual service builds up a channel of energy which also allows energetic information to be accessed. All sacred ritual builds power and if the same intention is held every time, unchanged, like the blessing of the bread and wine, etc, then that energy will be perceived and read by others.
Once the channel had been established, a sword appeared inside it, its point towards the earth. (The sword means many things. In earth working it is often the tool that opens or closes energy vortices. It is also a mental, masculine energy, bringing with it higher thoughts, the balancer of emotional energies). Around the top of the tube, a white feathered serpent, like the white dragon energy, began to twine down around the outside of the channel, moving towards earth. But as it got closer to the altar it changed to blue and wound itself around the magenta channel. A spear then appeared inside the channel and it held the serpent like a worm on a fish hook, anchoring it to earth. This was definitely not what I was expecting. The serpent looked like it was writhing, much as eels do when hooked and brought onto the riverbank and trying to escape captivity and certain death. The spear is one of the tools of the Tuatha de Danaan and this is a use for it that I have never seen before, although it is an energy which connects other energies so it shouldn’t have come as such a surprise that it was anchoring a serpent.
The spiritual energy of the white serpent had transformed into an earthier blue, and the resistance to that transition was apparent. Yet, I knew that this process was necessary. Sometimes it is a challenge to materialise spiritual beliefs and there is often resistance to that process. It is so much easier to keep spiritual ideas and desires in the ether, rather than actually act on them. It is as if these particular beliefs will have to be pinned down, the blue force pinned into place, like water through a funnel.
Another aspect of the ‘white’ becoming ‘blue’ is that the blue serpents represent water energies; the serpents that run through rivers, estuaries and between sites of sacred significance. I am thinking here of two of which I know: Winchester and Salisbury cathedral.
The white serpent is a spiritualised energy, usually existing on higher levels of the earth’s energy-field, like the earth serpent’s higher-consciousness. The white holds the ‘plan’ or the template for healing, which the blue serpents materialise.
There are two possibilities for this serpent achoring here:
One: the serpent represents a person who carries this serpent energy and can work with the water energies, but who will initially experience resistance and struggle to bringing in new ideas. In older times, ‘Druid’ priests were known as adders, perhaps because they were able to work with the fertility energies of water. I have known female rectors who have held both Christian and pagan beliefs and they struggled to reconcile those two apparently opposing systems.
Or Two: it represents the energies which bring water fertility, such as rain and rivers and that this is the way these serpent lines have always been anchored. Think St. George and the dragon.
A flash of a Bull’s head appeared, which turned out to be a message that I would understand later.
Later research on the history of this church yielded some interesting information. The original dedication of this church was to Mary Magdalene. It was changed, over a hundred years ago, after renovation, to St Catherine of Alexandria. So, it would seem that today’s dedication was really a rededication to the original energy.
Mary Magdalene
I also discovered that this church was one of nine in the Manor of Chilcomb and it was ordered, by Bishop Henry de Blois, to pay revenue to the priory of St Swithin and the Hospitallers of Jerusalem. The revenue went towards entertaining guests, and feeding the pilgrims to St Swithin’s shrine.
Again, there is that Jerusalem link but now it places it in Templar history too. Mary Magdalene was also a venerated saint in the medieval period and there was a leper hospital dedicated to her on the Alresford side of Winchester. Bishop Henry was apparently also the man who created the stories of Merlin and dragons, and the stories of the Grail, and thanks to him the stories of the Grail entered popular consciousness. In all our earthwork in the UK, and in Paris, his energy has always played an important role and he is usually a reliable sign post.
Once I felt the work was finished, I left the church, stopping to record a robin ‘chatting’ with another robin in a distant tree. They were definitely having a conversation! I couldn’t see the other bird; it was in a tree someplace else, but it was a lovely reminder of frequency, in this case ‘sound’ travelling between two points.
As I drove out of Littleton, I had a clear image of the church in Barton Stacey; the next dot to be joined. But that would have to wait until I had more time.
I have driven through the village of Sparsholt many times on the way to my father’s house in Barton Stacey, but never thought to stop there. Mainly because I am under time constraints. But I began to enjoy driving the little roads that connected old villages. It gives me some valuable alone-time and also I can feel the movement of the people of the past as they walked these roads, or travelled on horseback or carts or later in motorcars. I can imagine them visiting relatives in the other villages and going to church on Sunday, going to the market to sell their wares or to buy what they cannot get at home, or even for a change of scenery if they have the time to spare. My father thinks I am mad. He believes in getting someplace as quickly as possible and does not understand why I would want to take a longer route. I tried to explain but don’t think he was convinced.
The little roads between villages, created by the inhabitants of small hamlets, which were often part of old manors or estates, are like veins; a network joining the villages together; an entire template in time. This template is important when working on energetic layers. It is like a layer in photoshop, a layer that can be blended with other layers but which you can work with on an individual level. The layer I was working on was the connection between village churches. Still, when I started this, last week in St. Edward the Confessor’s Catholic church in Chandler’s Ford, I didn’t know that the journeys I had been making through Winchester’s outlying villages over the past few weeks would prove to be so important.
St Stephen’s
St. Stephen’s church is a small village church perched high above the village that surrounds it. It started life as a possible ‘pagan’ site on which the Saxons built their own place of worship; a common practice at the time. Whether by design, or intuition, energy attracts. In the distant past new cultures came into England and they brought their religious beliefs with them. Their beliefs might have been very similar to the beliefs of the people who already lived there and the new people would have settled, married into already established families and communities, and little by little religious culture would have changed. Special sites, which may no longer have been used, would have been the obvious energetic site to build a religious building on. Whether it was a known site or not it would still act as a magnet, drawing people to it. Religions might change, but those changes do not happen overnight. It takes time for them to shift and there has to have been an opening for them in the first place, a vacuum that needed to be filled; a Soul-need for change. St Stephen’s Church might originally have been one of these sites.
Old Yew Tree
I walked through the little graveyard and into the church, which is obviously loved and well-taken care of. However, inside, the flint building was very cold, and I wondered how the original church-goers warmed it. It had been a Catholic church once upon a time before Henry VIII created the Church of England, so perhaps sitting on cold hard seats in a freezing church in winter was a form of penance or self-sacrifice. But maybe they didn’t feel the cold quite like we do. But, on the plus side, it was filled with flowers and smelled divine.
Ornate Altar
I walked up to the altar and stood in front of it, tuning in. Immediately the Magenta Flame appeared, part of the flame I had been given in St Edward’s. But I also saw the Jewish Menorah with all its candles lit. It appeared as though it was sitting on the altar. At first, I dismissed it. After all, why should a Jewish ritual object be present energetically in this little village church in the middle of the English countryside? But I discovered, when I googled it, that St. Stephen was born in Jerusalem and was the first Christian martyr stoned to death by Jewish elders for blasphemy. Again, the Jerusalem link; the same as last week in St. Edward the Confessor’s church. The symbols associated with Stephen are the censor; three stones; a Martyr’s Palm frond and a crown. These symbols were to be important later on, especially when I worked in St Mary’s Church in the village of Crawley. It was as if the energies of one place connected with, and were anchored in, the other churches; themselves acting as connectors of archetypal energies.
St Stephen
The next part of the anchoring was to blow energy towards the Flame of the Magdalene which is a striking magenta in colour. This blowing expands the energy or directs it. When you blow out it is done with an energetic intention; an intention that the part of you doing the work understands the purpose of. When you are doing this kind of work, you, as a personality, have little control over the process. Your Soul-self is the active Self.
As a result of blowing breath towards the flame, it grew and expanded, reaching the wooden-beamed ceiling. I heard the words “In Perpetuam”, which means ‘For all of Eternity’. This reminded me of the Perpetual flame of St. Brigit in Kildare, Ireland, a flame dedicated to the pagan saint and kept burning by a group of nuns dedicated to St. Brigit and kept alight for the past thirty years. The flame they tend is to send out the solar light of Brigit, the light of Justice, Hope and Peace.
The Brigit Flame
So what did the anchoring of the Magdalene flame mean here? Mary Magdalene was one of Jesus’s disciples, and her flame-energy, originally channelled by a lovely Canadian man named Jhadten Jewell who played a really important part in my own energetic development, is the flame that helps balance, and heal, the wounded male. Her flame assists in the anchoring of the New Adamic energies, the New Male consciousness.
This is what he says: I have come to understand the power of the Goddess in Her great Return, in healing the wounded male energies of the planet that have resulted from the imbalance (i.e. predominance of the male energies that we can still see working today) of male and female energies. This is the return to balance, wholeness and unity. In my work, I have explored so many avenues of this and know that to be centered in the Goddess Light is the beginning of all creation. No matter how masculine a Soul may be, it is still and always one half feminine, in order for the alchemy of creation to unfold through all of us. We know that we have one half of our father’s DNA and half of our mother’s and yet the illusion of the physical gender, as important as it may be, lets us forget, again and again, the need for balance in these energies.
So why was the flame being anchored in these village churches? I know the answer might never come, but my Higher Self knows exactly why it is placed here and how it will affect the people who came here and who live in the area. All I can do is watch and facilitate.
The Magdalene Flame
Much of this work is carried out this way. I am under instruction, working in a dimension of consciousness which my personality self does not understand. Although I do get to watch, and enjoy, the higher Archetypal energies that exist in those higher dimensions, my Higher Self, or KA as they call it in ancient Egypt, is the one doing the real work. My body is simply the vehicle and the taxi service, driving from place to place and being a channel, or medium, for these energies to come through.
My next stop is in the church of St Catherine in Littleton. Another surprise visit and not so very far away.
(This post was written on a mobile keyboard. It makes it possible to write on the go with my phone. It is a genius contraption suggested by Chris Bishop, who I usually work with. Thanks Chris. A brilliant idea!)
Yesterday morning, Sunday, (I wrote this a few years ago) I was listening to the Radio 4 church service (not something I often listen to, but it was an impulse I followed). The teaching was ‘The loaves and the Fishes’. You know, the one where Jesus miraculously fed the 5.000 people with only 5 loaves and 2 fishes after the death of his friend and teacher John the Baptist? Finishing up a beading project, the fact struck me that people never question this story. They relate it as though it is an absolute truth. But to me, they are missing an important point. Jesus was a spiritual teacher, teaching people something important. There was a deeper meaning to this story.
People, such as Dr Marcellino D’Ambrosio, have looked into certain Judaic meanings behind the symbolism, such as the five loaves representing the Mosaic teachings in the Torah. There are 5 books in the Torah. So perhaps, on one level, Jesus was expanding on the teachings and inner story of Moses, who was also a prophet, and a teacher.
But he was also quoted as saying that he was the ‘Bread of Life’. To my mind, this was a misinterpretation. He was also known as the ‘Water of Life’ which felt more appropriate. Could he be both bread and water? All spiritual nourishment? To many he was/is, but I have experienced a completely different awareness of what the bread represents. Over the past twenty years of doing energy healing, at many sacred sites around the world, I have found that the Bread represents the Bread of the Mother, of the earth.
My first experience of this came in 2006, in Cumbria, at a stone circle complex in the Broomrigg Plantation. One of my psychic gifts is the ability to tap into ancient knowledge and experience it in the present. It is psychometry; I suppose. Tapping into objects or places and opening doorways into past lives.
Broomrigg Stone Circle
On this occasion, standing on an ancient stone which had once formed part of a stone circle, I went back to the Bronze Age and found myself watching an ancient winter solstice ritual. Within the circle, a priest stood, and around the inside of the circle also stood containers of wheat which had been harvested the previous autumn. A priestess, who personified Artemis (I was a little surprised at that) drew down the energy of the sun and brought it into the earth, which opened like a womb to accept the solar energy. This fertilised a giant ovum and filled the womb with golden light. The priest had strewn wheat grains around the inside of the circle petitioning the Goddess Artemis, within whose hands he had placed a sheaf of corn. As this happened, the wheat in the containers was also ‘charged’, which effectively imbued the seeds with life, so that when they planted them again in the spring the resulting crop would be abundant. At the end of the ritual, the priest sprinkled water around the inside of the circle, because, without rain, the wheat could not grow.
Once the ‘ritual’ was complete, some of the grain was taken from the containers, ground into flour and made into bread. Each household in the tribe was given a portion of this ‘charged’ bread in order to bring fertility to the entire tribe over the coming year. Everyone was equal and everyone was fed. No-one was left out.
This experience prompted many questions. Over the past few years, some of these questions have found answers. I had, on occasion, to travel back to Ireland for Catholic funerals or memorial services, and noticed during the consecration of the bread and wine, during Mass, that all the energy from ‘Above’ seemed to charge the wine but not the bread. I also thought it was significant that only the priest drank the wine, (things have changed since then!) thereby gaining the benefit of its charged energy. But the communication wafers, the Bread/Body of Christ had no energy and yet this was distributed to the people during the Mass. I found this very interesting Why was the bread not ‘charged’, and why was it only the priest who benefited from the spiritual energy which should have been shared? I wondered if it was to do with power dynamics within the early church? Communion is such an important part of the Catholic Mass ritual and I can remember, as a child, taking communion seriously, believing that I was eating part of Jesus’ body. When it stuck to the roof of my mouth and broke, and I tried to remove it with my tongue, it was a serious disaster. Jesus was real to me and I thought I was breaking him apart.
The word communion signifies a joining, a sharing of energy, but there was no energy in this communion. It was rice paper, nothing more. For years, I had wondered why this was (I only rarely have communion now. If I feel an impulse, I will take it, even though I know it contains nothing). However, this year, I experienced another teaching, through ‘psychic time-travel’, that explained more of the mystery. It was in St. Dogmaels’ Abbey in Wales, near Cardigan Bay and I was doing my usual energy work, as I do in many churches, (both ancient and those still in use), when I felt an impulse to stop at a point which was below ground level. In the past, the altar of the church would have stood above this room and as I stood in the centre of this ‘cellar’ I felt a powerful female earth energy, like a vortex. It was still active, and very strong. When I stood in it, I ‘saw’ a monk standing in front of the altar in the room above me. He was consecrating the wine and the bread, but as he focused on the bread, which was a round loaf, he drew the energy of this vortex into the bread, spiritualising it with the female energy of the Earth, the Mother. Next, he drew down the energy of the sun and consecrated the wine with that energy, the Male fertilising principle! Finally I understood! Somewhere along the line, this connection and honouring of the role of Mother Earth, in sacred ritual, had been lost.
The Abbey itself was built in the 12th Century and is a Trionian Abbey, founded by monks from France who were dissatisfied with the way things were going in the French Monasteries. They wanted to get back to a simpler way of living, and of serving. But they also knew that the balance depended on honouring both Mother and Father.
At one point during this exploration through time, I was also given the understanding of the Holy Trinity: The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Father is obvious; he is the male principle, Solar, Christ Light. The Holy Spirit is the Mother, the Female principle: the Earth; and the son, is the priest /medium. The Son of both Mother and Father is the priest; he is the medium between the two; the one who can work with both energies and who is trained to materialise these energies in the bread and wine, thereby bringing succour to the community through their distribution. What is missing here, of course, is the female representative, the priestess. But, at least they still knew what they were doing, even though they were using both energies in a less earth-focused way than our ancestors at Broomrigg had done.
But, what I still did not know, was when this understanding disappeared. Perhaps during the dissolution of the monasteries, when the Divine Feminine, through Mary, was removed from the collective consciousness? Perhaps that understanding will come later.
So, back to the loaves and the fishes. Jesus (or someone) was trying to teach about the balance between the Masculine and the Feminine. The bread of Life comes from the earth, from the Mother. The fish is a male symbol, and one which I also have experienced in the course of my work, and which I know to be a symbol of life in the Ancient Solar priesthoods of Egypt, Greece and Western Europe. The symbol of Christianity is the Fish. The fish swims in water; water is life. The fish is a symbol for the fertility that comes from water, the abundance of a masculine god.
Jesus was teaching the multitudes about Honouring the Mother and Father, just as the commandments told them to. Not just your physical, earthly Mother and father, but all of life through the Earth Mother and Solar Father. I believe the story tells us that nourishment comes from Mother and Father. What comes from the sky is Masculine, sun and rain, which fertilises the earth, the feminine, so that all her people can live. You cannot exist without both. What can you create with sun alone? Without the mixture of earth, what is it? If you honour both, you can feed thousands.
Maybe we need to get back to that. We need to relearn these ways of thinking about the earth, or Gaia, and her relationship with the Father, in order for us to live sustainable and fulfilling lives. It’s really not that hard. We just have to change our core beliefs. It might take years but at least the world of the future will be one worth living in again! And I wonder what would happen if we started to do these rituals in the way they were intended? That would be an interesting experiment.
PS. When I was in the Hare Krsnas, back in the seventies in Dublin, they cooked their food and blessed it before sharing it with people so that everyone could eat the sacred prasadam of the god of love, Krishna. Even one meal was enough to give you Krsna’s mercy. Blessing food is an ancient tradition.
A more modern story is the story of the foundation of Findhorn, one of my favourites.
Spring is Brigit’s time. Her festival is celebrated, traditionally, on the 1st of February, but fire-work associated with Spring, spans a number of weeks. Imbolc is a celebration of the awakening earth when plants begin to grow and the crone of winter becomes the virgin once more. Spring vortices become active, bringing in new energies and clearing out the old. Becoming attuned to Brigit you will feel this impulse strongly at the beginning of each new year.
Winter has been a time of quiet, or rest, the death of the year. In the past, Winter was seen as an old woman coming to the end of her life. She had grown from the young girl in spring, became the Mother of Summer and now is the old woman, the crone of winter. She is associated with places of death and with vortices active during the Winter season.
But spring sees renewal and fresh beginnings. Life has never really died, it has just been sleeping. During Brigit’s time, it is reawakened with the fire of life. After the Winter Solstice, the sun is channelled into the womb of the earth, fertilising the Mother, so that crops will grow and feed the community. Brigit is a Spring Goddess, an aspect of Sovereignty. (Sovereignty is the feminine consciousness of the earth). The fire festivals brought hope and the promise of abundance. After a long dark winter of eating food they had stored throughout the year, they looked forward to eating green plants and planting their fields with corn. It was a celebration of survival, of having lived through yet another long, cold season, and emerging into the light and increasing warmth of the sun. It was a time of joy and celebration and, I imagine, a certain amount of relief.
The festivals were not purely symbolic. They were energetic practices designed to assist the physical earth and to keep her vitality flowing. A healthy earth means healthy people. In becoming attuned to the Brigit energy, through the mantle and the flame, you become aligned to the spring focus of fertility and become custodian of sites flowing with the energy of the Mother Goddess that you resonate with, and hold in care.
The Flame of Brigit is the light that warms the soil in Spring. The fire is the earthly representative of the Sun, allowing the seeds to germinate beneath the ground. Above ground, she is Grainne, Goddess of the Sun, the feminine aspect of solar energy.
Grainne too, as a Solar Goddess, is the transition between Winter and Spring. She is quiet in Winter, pale and wan but still shining. When Spring comes, she grows stronger, her light warmer. Together Brigit and Grainne bring light and warmth to the world. One from below and one from above. Grainne’s flame is white, a flame of renewal. Her flames awaken sites that have lain dormant and unused for centuries. She is the Divine Feminine light and warmth of the world.
Once these flames is are anchored in your energy field you can light these fires energetically, at sites where this was once done. That light then travels through the network of energy lines, bringing with it the promise of new life and allowing the seeds to grow and to reach for the light and warmth of the nurturing Solar Goddess. The seeds that you plant are not only physical, such as when you work at sacred sites, but also energetic. They are anchored at religious places too, such as churches etc. and illumine that which has become stagnant. Bringing new life and new inspiration.

As described in the post ‘The Cone of nature’, this essence helps you to maintain your connection with the many layers of nature within the cone. It pulls in energy from each of the layers, thereby feeding your physical body with the streams of energy from those levels.
The cone is a geometry with a specific function and in this case it operates like a holding container. Whatever layers of earth consciousness make up your cone are also the layers you help to keep the balance of. It also gives you access to working with the elemental consciousness of each layer, be it Solar, crystalline, water, etc.
A gift from an ancient Pine tree, which was planted in a church in Northam estate by Capability Lancelot Brown. To the trees he was ‘kin’, because he not only understood them as Beings but also worked with the Spirit of Place. He listened to the trees and planted accordingly. The essence is for those who wish to work with trees on a physical level: planting them, caring for them and/or working energetically with them. It helps you to listen to them and to see them as Beings in their own right. It also connects us to Pine trees all over the world and to connect one pine to other pines in other places. Pine trees are more conencted to the world around us, unlike deciduous trees that work on higher levels. Pines are aware of every little thing in the world around them and teach you to be sensitive to all around you. This is their gift.

The Raven’s Call
This essence was created at an Iron Age Hillfort in Dinton, Wiltshire. It was energised by an ancient Sweet Chestnut tree whose roots were anchored in centuries of history. The tree had many trunks emerging from one main trunk and as I watched the energies enter the bottle in the center of these arms, I saw the energy of raven settling in the water. I was told that the essence would help call the user of the essence to their Right Path. Through vision and knowing their feet would find the path they needed to be on, eliminating other unnecessary detours on the way. In the immortal words of Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven: ‘Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there’s still time to change the road you’re on.’ The Raven will appear in your life when the time for change is approaching.

The Wisdom of the Ancients
Made in the remains of a Burial chamber named Spinster’s Rock, in south west England. As I stood beneath the great rock, which was supported by three stones, a native of three Elder traditions appeared. A Native American, an African and a First nations man from Australia. These three elders imparted their wisdom in the form of sacred drawings which I saw being drawn on the sand with a stick and then being added to the essence, in a sacred dance.
Looking at the stories around the building of the dolmen, I can see that the three supporting stones have always represented three people, many stories being told about how they mysteriously erected the stones.
The essence allows you to access the spiritual beliefs of the ancestors, and to reclaim the knowledge of the sacred land and its ways. They understood it in a way we are only now relearning. Let them be your guides now along the songlines, the serpent paths and the joy of connection to land and sky.
A Soul reading can be many things. It can tell you what our Soul desires to accomplish, on a personal level, in this lifetime. It can tell you what you do, as a Soul, in the Spirit-world, in terms of our Soul service. It can tell you what you are here on the planet to do, for instance, if you are already training to be a guide, or involved in other purposeful work, for instance, in the environment, with people, or animals, etc. It can be instructive, teaching you to remember why you chose to incarnate this time around, or it can be advice on how to work through a certain issue that you might have been grappling with for many lifetimes.
Many times, if it is necessary for your Soul, or ‘entity’, to remind you of what you planned to do here, you might find other lifetimes being brought to your attention, lifetimes that have a bearing on your current challenges. This is to remind your Soul, rather than your personality, because your Soul can then prompt your personality into understanding that there is a reason why you are doing what you are doing, or why you are experiencing what you are experiencing.
Sometimes you are given, if it will help you, your Soul Age in terms of development. When your guides do this it is to remind you that you have had many lifetimes of experience behind you and that this current challenge is probably one you have met before, therefore, you have many skills and abilities at your disposal. In other words “You can do this”.
Having experienced Life between Life regression sessions (Andy Tomlinson) and many years of past-life work, this has given me a wonderful connection to the Soul World. I also participated, as a ‘subject’ in one of Andy’s books on Life Between Lives, where I was regressed and spoke on behalf of my own group of Elders who were able to answer Andy’s questions on many subjects, including the legend of Atlantis, animal souls and why we choose certain lives to work on. He wrote this book in collaboration with Ian Lawton.
This gave me a connection to that level that I have never lost. For me, that is the true meaning of Bringing Heaven to Earth, making ourselves more aware of our Soul’s existence and working at opening up to that level of awareness.
Any of Andy’s books, and especially the Books by Dr. Michael Newton, are an amazing resource if you are interested in this subject. Dr. Newton’s books opened the way for me to be able to read the Soul History and Purpose of other people. Even though it took me 17 years to do it!
I also worked with Melvyn Foey, a wonderful Network Chiropractor and Past Life Facilitator, with a practice in Winchester, and in Cornwall. With him, I undercovered the reasons why I had had so many fears around actualising my purpose in this lifetime.
I would recommend, if you are interested in learning more about yourself as a Soul, that you check out these books. It makes a Soul Reading much easier to understand if you understand how the process of living as a Soul works. The books also go into lots of detail about your guides and their function in your life, and why you chose the life you chose in the first place.
Soul Readings can be used to understand the dynamics within relationships, both family and intimate. Once you understand the background and purpose of relationship difficulties it becomes much easier to accept them and to work through them. This understanding might also give you the courage you need to leave a damaging relationship or to work through issues that are actually there for your growth within the relationship.
Fears, gifts, talents, and ways of life can also be explained, and you might discover that you have a gift that you could be actualizing in your physical life. Your personality character is better understood once you see why you chose the circumstances in your life, and the challenges which face you.
As my own guides once told me “The challenge is to overcome the challenges.” Knowing this, gave me the courage and strength to continue ‘overcoming’. Working with my Soul through past life and inter-lives work helped me enormously.
“Earlier, you guessed at our identities, and it served you at the time, and it served us too, but now you seek the truth of who we are, and rightly so.
We are not so old as to be forgotten, but not so young as you might imagine. Although ‘Lemuria’, as your present time defines it, did not exist in ‘reality’, our civilisation did exist within the time frame of that believed to be Lemurian. We are an ancient race, older than the hills, literally, as your mountain ranges were beneath our seas and were our seabed.
We made up many races and many lifeforms, just as you do today, and some of us were wise and others not so wise, just as you also are today. But the wisdom we garnered, over many years of development, is what we share with you now.
There was not one name that applied to our races, for we were many, just as there is not one name for your human civilisation. Perhaps you will enter the collective psychic atmosphere and be known as “The Humans” to future races on earth, but that is not your ‘name’. You see how difficult it is?
We were a race of cultures, trying to develop qualities, in much the same way as your human race is doing. We were successful enough. The Abramic culture was a bleed-through from unresolved issues that we left behind us, and this is why we take this opportunity to help you with these challenges. We take a measure of responsibility for these beliefs and so we choose to resolve this issue by helping those souls to overcome the negative beliefs that we ourselves planted, albeit unwittingly!
Time will tell whether we can do this satisfactorily, for mankind has taken a different route to the one we took, and it is more difficult to break-through when such energy is being forced outwards. Your race is yet young and you have come so far but now it is time for change. It is time for mankind to change direction and so we help you to steer in that new direction.
You can continue to call us Lemurian, as that name helps you to identify our energy. But you know the truth, and we are glad that you asked for it. It is always better to face the truth, than to live a lie and so we say to you, never settle for something unless you feel it in your bones. Untruths can be scattered to the four winds, but the truth will always endure because it is the truth.
Symbol to hold in your mind if you wish to connect to ‘Lemurian’ consciousness.
We are ‘rooted’ like a great tree, and although it may lose its leaves, and it may wither and die, the memory of it remains. And so it is with us. We remain in the Aethers, and you can tap into our memories at certain places where those energies remain. If you would like a symbol to connect to us then use this: a simple white feather in a sea of green and gold, will suffice. That is our energy signature and if you wish to connect with us, use this energy and we will enable communications.
Thank you and we wish you well in your endeavours.”
This information came about because of my own unease with the name lemurians, even though I had received both teachings and information from this ancient civilisation. But I have a need for the ‘real’ in my work, even though to others everything I do might not seem ‘real’.
When I first began to channel, or ‘listen’ I told the energies communicating with me not to give me any airy-fairy flowery language. I wanted the info to be clear and un-New Agey! I wanted it to be practical and usable, not wonderful sounding fantasies that got people no-where except more stuck in their heads!
I hadn’t really given the Lemurians much thought for many years, but as I was going through old, received information I posted some of it here. However, I still felt uneasy about the name, so I looked up where the name came from. It was a biologist named Philip Sclater who first began to use the name. So I asked the Elders who the Lemurians really were! And this was their answer.
Having studied Archaeology I knew that our ‘present’ spiritual belief about lost continents was not true. Studying archaeology really helped me to separate fact from fiction in my energy work. And receiving the info I needed from the horse’s mouth helps me to understand the truth of these ancient civilisations, even though archaeology does not hold with theories of previous civilisations on earth. But the earth does not lie and geology is geology, so I can accept the fact of the Lemurians knowing that they existed, just not necessarily in the way we think.
So I am grateful to them for clarifying this for me.
For diary entries of work I did with Dragon energies here are some links to my earth-work site, where I recorded my earth-work journals. That is still a work in progress as the work never stops, it just gets added to. But it will give you some idea of how to work with the dragon energies, so that when you find yourself seeing them, and they’re doing unexpected things, you will know that you are, in fact, an absolutely sane and rational human being!
The most important thing, when doing energy-work, is to build a strong energy-field, or energy-body. Getting to know your energy-field, and building its frequency and size, means that you are also developing your Self. You are your energy field. It contains everything you need to know. It is like a vessel, a container for everything that you are in this lifetime, emotions, patterns of behaviour, thoughts, frequencies, keys, codes, memories and knowledge, both of this lifetime and all other lives which you have lived. Everything you have ever learned is in this field although, like a computer, you only use certain ‘programs’ at a time.
When working with earth energies we are working with the three Tan Tien in the body. The seven chakra system is the system that works with the energies moving into our physical body through the other layers of the energy field. The three Tan Tien, are in the Hara Dimension (see at the end for an explanation of this). The image below shows the seven body chakras and the three Tan Tien. The upper and middle Tan Tien correspond to the third eye chakra and the heart chakra but the lower Tan Tien lies behind the navel in the centre of the body. The image is from Barbara Brennan’s book, Light Emerging. (A book well worth reading if you want to develop your sensitivity and healing).
When you receive your first Gaia Method Earthways attunement the earth energy serpent lies coiled in the lower Tan Tien. The serpent is in the Hara dimension and when it is awakened it moves into place showing you how you will express the earth’s wisdom and fertility in your life, and your Soul’s intention for the expression of your gifts.
Your Hara Line is the core of your spiritual intention on earth. Your intention sends the energy messages of your thoughts and feelings into your auric field. What turns up in your life is what you intended, whether you are consciously aware of it not. The Lower Tan Tien is your physical centre of gravity and your connection to the earth energies. The Hara dimension is a deeper dimension within the auric field and aligned with your Soul’s intention and purpose. The top of the Hara line is 3.5 feet above your head and aligns you to Divine energy and purpose.
Here is the exercise I used to develop sensitivity in my energy-field so that I could get to know how I sensed physically. When you work with energies, you learn to feel them with our body, learning to sense the different energies which can often be quite subtle. Nature energies are very much a ‘felt-experience’, so learning to sense with your body is important. Working with your energies directly also provides you with an emotional map, because changes made to your energy-field effect your behaviour, bringing things to the surface as trapped emotional energies are released. The more you release, the more effective you become as an energy-worker.
We work with spheres in this system, energies often anchoring around your body in a spherical shape.
Here is the first basic exercise.
Connecting to Sun and Earth.
Building your connection to Sun and Earth and Creating Healthy Boundaries.
1. Sit in a comfortable position, but not so comfortable that you want to fall asleep. Keeping your back straight, state your intention silently to yourself that you are going to be spending the next 20 minutes strengthening your field. Take a deep breath into your lower Tan Tien (Small star at your navel) and breathe out a long relaxing breath.
Continue breathing in and out of your lower Tan Tien, until you feel ready to continue. At this point you should be more aware of the inside of you than the outside of you. Moving your awareness inside can take as long as it takes, so just keep breathing until you feel fully centred, keeping your awareness focused in your Tan Tien, which is the centre of your being.
2. Now imagine that a gold line, the Hara Line, is connecting into the earth beneath you. Let it connect to the earth’s core. When it ‘feels’ anchored, imagine that the gold line is also connecting to the sun, through your body. Anchor it there and wait until you feel that the line connecting you to sun and earth is stable. Sit with this feeling of connection for a couple of minutes. This line makes you feel strong, centred and confident. It is your spiritual connection to All that is and to the Heart of the Mother. (see below for information on the Hara).
3. Your energy-field is like an ovalish-sphere all around you. I visualise it as a sphere becasue it has a feeling of containment, and energies can move into energy field, or aura, spherically. The shape gives you something to focus on. Your lower Tan Tien is at the absolute centre of this sphere. To know the extent of your field, it should be at your fingertips, when your arms are outstretched and parallel to the ground.
If your aura is closer to your body it can feel like you are being oppressed by others around you. Your own ‘personal’ space is not valued by others. You feel ‘squashed’ and small. You might unconsciously pull it in to protect yourself.
If your aura is larger than your arms’ width, then you put a lot of your energy into outside things. People might perceive you as a ‘larger than life’ personality, or as dynamic and forceful.
4. Now, ‘look’ at the boundaries of your field. Is it spiky? Wobbly? etc. How it looks is how you feel. A healthy aura should be at your fingertips with your arms outstretched to the side, like the first image. If it is doing any of the others: wobbly, too small, or too large, then change it. If it is too big, mentally ‘pull’ it to a healthy size. If it is too small push it out with your intention until it is at a healthy size. If you find either of these things difficult to accomplish then it is pointing to issues which keep you in that pattern, so you are being given a clue.
When you can bring your auric field in to a healthy size create a safe boundary around it. A protection, if that is needed. Allow your subconscious to create an image which means protection to you. If you work with other protective energies, such as the Violet Flame, then you can place those around your field.
Once you have placed your chosen protection around your now ‘healthy-sized’ energy field, you can take a few breaths and bring your awareness back into your physical surroundings, feeling more relaxed and empowered.
Do this basic exercise a few times a week and see how both your behaviour changes and the behaviour of others around you. If you have problems asserting your values, and needs, then you might find that you stop being a doormat and people start treating you differently. Working with your energy-field helps you to ‘know yourself’ better. The more you use this exercise the easier it gets and you can soon do it in a couple of minutes. Energy follows thought so it can be done anywhere.
This is the foundation for the other work to come, so becoming proficient in playing with your energy-field makes the energy work that follows, that much easier.
If you want to go into Auras in more depth, I would recommend both of Barbara Brennan’s books. Hands of Light, and Light Emerging.
