Hawthorn Essence. Magdalene Down. May 2025

June 19, 2025June 19, 2025 / Ann Murphy / Leave a comment

On our previous visit to Magdalene Down, we felt we needed to make an essence but had not brought a bottle of water – making another visit a necessity. The following week, we headed back up to the barrows, this time with a small bottle.

Before we entered the area we needed to ask permission to enter that space, which is not something we have had to do before. There was a male entity wearing a crown of hawthorn leaves and a woman who reminded me of Galadriel. He was like the Green Man energy and she was more like an elemental/ancestral guardian of the round barrows. Although they worked on different levels, they were aware of each other and the role each played at the site.

When we reached the hawthorn tree, Chris was told he had to give his crystal too, just as I had done on our last visit. His was a Lemurian crystal too and we had bought them at the same time. It’s all about letting go. But then he was given a hazelnut (Etheric) This had to be taken to Danebury Hill and other places. It was about planting the seed somewhere, especially places connected to water. Bath, Swallowhead Spring, etc. Like the Bishop used to travel to each of his churches, we had to do the same. But then he was shown an oak tree with a crown in it, the Royal Oak (this became significant later and also shows how easy it is to think we know what these gifts are for). As it turned out, a few weeks later, I gifted a (physical) hazelnut to an oak tree in return for an essence, placing in at the roots as a thank you. The oak showed us the crown in its branches). The tree was simply showing us what work we would do later with an oak tree. Work we did not know we would do.

I placed the bottle for the essence in the crook of the tree when prompted and surrounded it with blossoms of hawthorn. Then, we had to infuse the essence, through our breath, and through the hawthorn tree, as though the breath (masc and fem) moved through the hawthorn energy and into the essence as it sat between the branches. The Elemental feminine energy of the Hawthorn showed us the stained glass windows of Winchester cathedral, and then she placed some of the energy of the tree, as drops, three of them, into the essence … along with a thermometer. It was to keep the body in balance with nature and to help with metabolism and hot flushes, which people also experience when energy is moving through them.

Next, she placed three red drops in the bottle. These represented the haws and felt more physical. A gold band then went in too, and this was to hold the frequency in the water, holding the different energies represented by the white drops and the red drops. They would regulate the body, replenishing it, both energetically and physically, bringing it into harmony with nature.

And that was that for the essence … we thought.

A few minutes later, we were told to go to the other tree, just as we had been told the last time. It seemed there was some balancing needed to be done with the essence. This time, we had to walk four times around the tree, anti-clockwise. This happens when we are joining a feminine and masculine energy together. It does not happen very often. But there is something about the three and the four, (making seven) that seems to be significant. But I have not yet worked out what it is. The other me knows, of course!

I was told to drop some of the essence at the roots of this tree to make the connection between the two trees, on a physical level. But this time too, the energy for the essence was not from the tree trunk but had to be held towards it branches. It had to be held up to the sun. This connected to Solar time and the sun as it moved through the branches and flowers of this more masculine-energy Hawthorn. It creates a balance with the energy of the other tree, creating harmony.

Then, tiny little hawthorn fairies, small like the flowers, moved into the water of the essence. This was such a surprise! The other tree tree elemental mentioned making a tincture and then adding the essence to that tincture too, so it works on all levels. (I had already started one after last week’s visit here).

I expected these little hawthorn elementals to come back out, but they stayed there, playing in the water of the essence. This tree was in an overgrown patch and its branches had to reach for the sun to get its solar energy and this was the energy that moved into the essence. A striving for the sun. The other Hawthorn energy was more present in the tree itself, and accessible. This one was quieter, however. If he had been human, we would have called him shy. But that is quite the usual way for these elemental energies. They stay in the quiet, hidden, until they choose to open to you.

Walking past the feminine hawthorn tree as we left, she added that the essence was like a rescue remedy, acting to balance the physical body with the energy body so neither is depleted after doing energywork. It can be taken after doing a lot of work so the internal body battery does not get run down. Which is pretty good, as lately I have been experiencing exactly that. My guides come and say ‘You are running on empty’, just to warn me to replenish. Now, I turn to the essence and I can manage more.

We will return to Magdalene Down to collect some of the berries for another tincture. We’ll see what happens then. I will plant a couple of them too, in my garden, so we have the babies of that tree, inviting them in, as they said.

St. Cross Hospital.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Elixir of the Goddess

I created this one in a Bullaun stone by St. Fiachra’s Well in southern Ireland. A bullaun stone is a very large granite boulder with hollowed out depressions on its surface. The stones are associated with early Celtic Christian Churches. When I tuned into the stones, I saw bread dough being made with water from the spring. This dough, when baked, would be the sacred bread, the communion of the mass ceremony held in the church. The bread was created with both the feminine energy of wheat and the masculine energy of the water. The essence was created with water from the Bullaun stone and then anchored in a Hawthorn tree that grew beside the sacred spring. The Triple Flames of the Divine Feminine: Gold, Magenta and Blue poured into the bottle. The flames are frequencies/rays of healing which are anchored at sacred sites and in rivers, lakes and seas to bring healing, and to add their frequency to the atmosphere around where they are placed. The frequencies of these flames work on the Merkaba level of your energy-field. On another level, the water from the spring of St. Fiachra also protected those people who carried it, from drowning. So if you’re thinking of travelling by boat anywhere…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For an overview of the Hillfort, check out Ben’s video in the comments below. This is especially great because we are no longer able to see the hillfort from this perspective. Thanks Ben.

Summer Solstice Crystal Attunement. 2024

June 20, 2024June 22, 2024 / Ann Murphy / Leave a comment

My guides have ‘suggested’ I do readings for each of the festivals of the year, and for the new moons, anchoring into the grid the energies for the coming months. I begin with a crystal grid meditation for the summer solstice, which feels to me like Stonehenge, but it is also all the circles that fulfill this fertility function. I used the Woodhenge essence a friend and I made on Mayday at both Woodhenge and the Cuckoo stone. It connects us to the Cosmic elements of Stonehenge. An appropriate essence, I thought.

The grid needed to have more fire than usual, so four candles were placed, each one in its own corner. Once the flames were lit, I was instructed to place water in the center. Next, the quartz crystal circle was aranged around the water. This circle felt like a representation of the stone circles. Then an amethyst point was placed in North, South, East and West of the grid, connecting the circle to each of the four directions and holding all in balance.

Lastly, I was told to use flowers. Flowers? I mentally scanned my house. Where was I to find flowers? Then I heard: ‘Don’t you have roses in your garden?’ Why didn’t I think of that? So, I gathered some petals from two roses and placed them in the grid. These represent the love and beauty of the Mother in Nature.

Listen to the meditation and feel yourself there. You can put yourself in the grid by imagining you are standing inside it. I’ve put the image of the grid below the recording so you can see where to put yourself. In placing yourself in the grid, or simply listening to the recording (done on my iPhone so excuse the quality), you are bringing the fertility of Mother earth and Father Sun/Sky into your auric field and hence into your life. May it bring you abundance, connection and healing.

The Music in the background is by Deya Dova who sings in sacred sites around the world. This music was called: Isles of the Great Goddess and you can find more of her music on Youtube.

I have made an essence with the water in the centre of the grid, so if you want me to send you some, just send me, via a donation, enough to cover the bottle and postage (approx £5 if you are in the UK), along with your snail mail address and I’ll send you off a small stock bottle which you can use to make more with. It contains all the energy of the Mother and Father’s abundance, and the healing intention of the White Dragon of Albion for the British Isles and Ireland.
