White Dragons of Snow and Ice.

December 1, 2023August 18, 2025 / Ann Murphy / 3 Comments

For a few years now, I have been asking my guides what the snow dragon represents. She has been making an appearance, in my inner vision, creating energetic ice sheets and snowy mantles on sacred sites. She came in, initially, with Beings of ice; giant, elemental energies from countries with colder climates, such as Iceland, Norway, etc. Recently, I did an attunement with one of my daughters and she was given information about the creative energies held in snow and ice.

Snow and ice are solidified Light that can be thousands of years old. Each particle in a snowflake contains a universe of information and treasure, holding creative energy which can be accessed. We already know that physical information can be trapped by the ice and snow in the Arctic, helping us to learn about the past. Snow also holds Light information which can also be accessed, energetically.

Last year, at St. Catherine’s Hill in Winchester, I anchored a layer of snow over the top of the hill. Months earlier, driving my father home from Southampton, I saw an image of an elegant, elemental woman dressed in white standing on top of the hill. Snow covered the top and as I continued on my way, I became aware of the energy lines, that still exist, running through the Iron Age Hill-fort, and which would have been beneath the ground before the motorway was built. Now, they can be driven through. These lines are usually blue (water lines), but today they were white, as if they were frozen. Then I had an image that suggested they were a white dragon/Serpent body connecting a group of widely spaced hill-forts. The body of this long white dragon undulated through the landscape and where its body emerged from the ground, a hilltop lay. But the hilltops were covered in a mantle of white snow. I remember seeing this before, flying over the Pyrenees on my way to Egypt. The entire mountain range was a huge white dragon.

To understand the creative energies of the white dragon, we need to go to the Diamond body of Gaia’s energy field. This field is her higher mind, containing pure thoughtforms. It lies above the Ruby/Magenta layer which itself lies above the earth’s Emerald surface, the energy of all growing things. The white dragon is connected to Gaia’s mind and therefore where the white dragon is, there too is the Mother. Her thoughts, and what she desires to create, are borne on the wings of the White dragon and anchored in our realm with the help of us in our physical form. This includes the thoughtforms of weather and what humanity needs for its future survival and ability to thrive. Even if that is years into the future

Snow flakes are the crystallised creations of Gaia’s mind. These creations are ‘held’ in this form until such a time as they can be accessed for the benefit of the whole. Time holds these creations, this knowledge, until the time comes for them to be released.

Just as in the physical earth, the knowledge of past civilisations is in the sediments of rock, sand, mud and fossils, laid down over millions of years of earth’s development. But in those layers lies the memory of times past, in energetic layers which can also be accessed. About seventeen years ago, I visited a sandpit beside the River Barrow in Graiguenamanagh (my hometown), in Co. Kilkenny). I had been coming to this sandpit since I was a child because we had to walk through it to reach the ruins of Ryan’s castle, beside which we used to swim.

As an adult, with a love of geology, I found the visible layers where the sand had been bulldozed for selling, fascinating. I found chunks of fossil coral and was able to date the deposition of sand to millions of years ago when this part of Ireland was a warm tropical sea.

But what was more interesting about this place was the energy. Because it had been dug out as a sand pit, the layers went down for meters into Earth’s geological history and the ancient people who lived on Earth at that time. Because of this energetic history, I was able to connect to that memory and bring it back into the present. I imagine ice and snow act in much the same way. At least, that is what my teachers in the world of spirit are suggesting.

If creative energy, through light, is held in the snow crystals, then that would explain the white dragon presence. But maybe we need to go further down the rabbit hole and see what some scientists, the nonconformist ones at least, have to say about water and memory.

Jacques Benveniste and Luc Montagnier worked on the discovery that water held memory. Dr. Masaro Emoto went a step further and claimed that emotions, as well as environmental factors, created specific shapes in snow crystals while they were forming.

The experiments of Masaru Emoto with emotional imprinting of water:
Masaru Emoto has carried out very interesting experiments with water at critical point for freezing. He claims that words expressing emotions have an effect on the crystals formed in the process. Emoto reports that words with positive emotional contents produce beautiful crystals and those with negative emotional content generate ugly ones. Also music and even pictures are reported to have similar effect.

Crystals with emotions projected towards the water.

White dragons are the spiritually creative energies that bring in inspiration from higher planes of existence. If water holds memory, and I know from my own work that it does, then frozen water also holds memory. Working with the dragons, perhaps we both pick up energy from ice and snow which has lain for hundreds/thousands of years AND anchor new energy in layers for future generations to pick up. Working with ancient layers may involve clearing up the negative layers which exert an influence on modern-day experiences, although I think they have to be ‘dug up’ before the energies are accessed if they are beneath the ground. I imagine that memory and light trapped in layers of snow and ice need to be accessed that way too. But as I’ve never had that experience, I don’t know.

I have anchored fire energy in Iceland, in the waters near a beautifully frozen waterfall. I knew, when I was putting it there, energetically, that it was for the future, but did not know at that time about memory and light in the ice. I am planning to return, at some point, so I will see what happens then.And of course there are trips to Norway planned, so lots of opportunities to explore the creations of the snow dragons.

Imbolc Celebrations.

February 1, 2021September 10, 2023 / Ann Murphy / Leave a comment

Today is St. Brigit’s day, in the Christian tradition, or Imbolc in the Celtic. She was originally a pre-Celtic goddess, of fire, of healing and of fertility.

As the dark winter days brighten and lengthen, fresh shoots appear. Snowdrops give colour to muddy ground and sparse grass. Bluebell spears emerge from cold soil and energy grows. This is the time when the fertility of the land awakens. The sun’s energy is drawn, deep into the earth, to warm the sleeping seeds and bulbs, to fertilise the land itself with its life-giving rays.

The ancestors celebrated this process. Every few years, in settlements, such as at Danebury, in Hampshire, or Fosbury, in Wiltshire – embodiments of the Mother’s womb – , a priestess would stand on the highest point of the settlement, the belly of the Mother, and bring down, through her body, the solar energy, channelling it into the waiting womb of the earth. The Sheelagh Na Gig, the Crone of Winter, became youthful Virgin once more.

These ‘Mother’ sites were part of a vast network of energies, through which the fertilising light of the sun travelled, even before its physical warmth could be felt. Once the symbolic egg had been made fertile, this energy fed many smaller settlements, some as small as single farmsteads, but all radiating the light into the soil, into the trees, into the hearts and minds of the people.

The serpent will come from the hole
On the brown Day of Bríde,
Though there should be three feet of snow
On the flat surface of the ground

One tradition on Brigit’s day was to clean the home, to sweep out the energy of the past and to welcome in the new energy that would bring newness and fertility to its inhabitants. It was all done with intent. The past year was gone, and a new one begins. Clear out old dreams; dream new ones.

This is the time when new pathways are forged and plans for the coming year can be put in motion.

There are many well-known traditions, and all accessible on the internet if you search. The most important aspect, in terms of energywork is the solar fertilising of the earth and the lighting/maintenance of the Flames.

As a planetary healer, part of your work is to maintain these energetic flames. Planting one in your home, if it is connected to this energetic grid, keeps the energy flowing. I have one in my home and have anchored them in the homes of my daughters and friends – other Gaia Method Earthways healers – when I am impulsed to do so. For two weeks before today, the energies rise and the flames are tended. Sometimes, they change colour, sometimes other energies are added. I can see them changing, in colour and number, sometimes becoming three, sometimes reverting to one. Each flame is a frequency of creation, a creative fire that inspires and keeps abundance flowing.

There are ‘Keepers of the Flame’ all over the world, carrying out these ancient tasks, and there have been for millennia. Now we are re-learning their ways so that the earth can be fruitful and abundant. We can change our old ways and learn how to live in communion with the Mother. Learn to channel the light into her pathways once more.

St. Catherine’s Hillfort, here in Winchester — the view from my house — has a flame. This year it has become a white flame, rising from the hilltop into the sky, spreading a disc of silver around the surrounding landscape; the abundance of the Mother. A necessary thing, in these times of fear and confusion. The White feels pure, and light, bringing awareness and a feeling of spiritual power. The power of Light, not might.

The more we work with the ancient energies and ways of life, the better will be both our lives and those of others around us.

In searching for fertility sites, look for the signs, both through intuition and physical evidence. Where the stone-carved Sheelagh na Gig’s are, nearby you will find a site, waiting to be reawakened. Early Christian churches often use them, as they signified a place where the energy of Imbolc was activated, albeit in a different form. There are places all over the British Isles, and Ireland, that hold these energies. All it needs is for you to find them.

“Now is the time to tend the fires. To create anew your dreams for the future. Go into the landscape. Connect to the Mother, Brigit, Goddess of life, and bring fertility and life back into your lives.”

Energetic development of a Stone Circle.

October 2, 2019December 19, 2023 / Ann Murphy / 7 Comments

Sacred sites have very humble beginnings, often as far back as the Mesolithic. From small henges to settled sites, hillforts, henges and stone circles, they all have one thing in common: they were created to bring fertility to the land so that those who lived on it, could thrive.

In much the same way as current practices of prayer and ceremony create energy where they are held, the energies of ancient ritual would also have built over time, allowing the energy to grow steadily and to expand. The people who worked them chose sites that we now call Chakra sites; points where the energy of the Universe, the sun, moon and stars, could enter, and feed, the body of the Mother/Earth. These points are still intuitively found, and I imagine that the ancient peoples coming back into Britain after the Ice Age would have discovered these sites easily and known what they were.

Food would have been a primary concern and so working with the forces of creation: water, sun, light etc., would have been their main focus. They were moving from a hunter-gatherer nomadic culture to a settled, agricultural culture and bringing their knowledge with them. The landscape was very different then. The last vestiges of the ice had pulled back, the landscape regrown, and it must have been a very fertile time. But, as nomads, they must have needed to know where these sites were, earmarking them for future habitation. They would have returned to these sites, year after year, their connection to the forces of nature petitioned, just as we pray/manifest now. Although the predominant energy I have always picked up at these places has been one of gratitude. They honoured the land. They honoured what it gave them. They took nothing for granted. And it is this energy that is readily available at working and active sites.

Over time, the energies they built expanded into the surrounding landscape and were eventually joined to other sites. A uniting of the tribes. Then new cultures came in, adding their knowledge and life evolved.

Henges and Stone circles.

Henges are circular banked enclosures with a focus on yearly celebrations and fertility rituals. These eventually evolved to become stone circles, often built on underground sources of water, or as a focus for solar rituals.

Hillforts.

Hillforts, before they became fortified settlements, were large fertility sites and would have housed an entire village. Their focus too was on grain, both growing and storing. They were experienced as sites of the Great Mother, and until the horse people came from the Steppes, were places of abundance and safety. Nearly every hillfort we have visited had an earlier Bronze Age settlement site beneath it which was enlarged over time, so these sites were ancient, even to the people who lived there.

Banjo Enclosures.

Often energetically connected to Hillforts are the smaller Banjo enclosures. These are small farms, but with a focus on energy and of ‘holding’ sacred energies. A small group of people worked these farms, either a family or a small tribal group. Some are quite large, but not as large as the bigger hillforts.

Burial Mounds.

Burial mounds come in different sizes, and designs, but so far, we have found that every one of them is a place of ceremony and sacredness, often built on and marking a ‘point’ in the sacred landscape, such as a cross-over of energy lines kept alive by the rituals carried out there.

All of these places are places where you can contact both the energy of the people who created them, and where you can connect with the knowledge held in them. The information is held as a template, each one layered on top of another, like a stacks of CDs, and is layered over time, changing the atmosphere around them. The knowledge is both a historical record and a record of the energies they guard. These records are designed to re-balance and nurture the landscape, influencing future generations of people.

Everything of a sacred nature, buildings, stone circles, burials mounds, etc, has an energetic blueprint, a plan of its energies and intention. It starts out as a point in time and space and gradually evolves into a large site of power and connection. Much like Christian sacred sites grow from their humble wooden chapels to become great edifices of stone. The place begins as a thoughtform, created by those who hold it sacred, and eventually that energy becomes physicalised by successive generations as they follow the intuitive promptings of the previously anchored energies.

Some sites are destined to remain small, and unobtrusive, while others become huge, affecting whole areas of the landscape. But all are connected, and all are part of an overall Motherboard, ensuring the fertility of the land and the balance of nature.

At specific points of high energy in the cycle of the year, often marked by astrological observations, the sites were collectively energised, thereby reinforcing the original intention for the site: to ensure the people’s survival. The planet’s energy body needs to be kept flowing and healthy, and both sacred ceremony and intention, through collective imagining does that. A healthy energy body is a healthy body and the ancestors knew that well.

The earth was perceived to be a Mother, a giver of abundance and in those terms, each site had its own particular function in the landscape. Some sites were celebrated in Spring, when the sun energises the seeds and makes the Winter Goddess, young again.

Other sites, such as Uffington, celebrated the Mayday energies, a time for human fertility, ensuring a good harvest; ‘Mother’ sites, such as Fosbury Hillfort, the Itchen Banjo and Danebury, etc., hold the energies of the Fecund Mother, holding her human children in her sacred womb.

Other sites, Long Barrows, celebrate the ancestors and the journey into the void, the Crone. Returning to the void of creation. They are the burial place of the sacred families, whose bones anchor the energies of death and rebirth.

Every site has its function and celebrations, not one of empty ritual, but that of energy-work, renewing the land for the future stability of the tribes.

Other energy points were created and ‘held’ by a person who, in life, had been a wielder of Spiritual power. That power was in her bones, in her physical body, and it was this energy that was placed in sacred burial places or Barrow burials. As long as the barrow and its inhabitant were honoured the energy flowed. Barrows too were part of the overall blueprint, each barrow fulfilling its own function and guarded by the energy of the person buried inside it.

You can also see this belief in early Christianity as ‘relics’. The bones, or possessions of the ‘Saint’ still hold its original owner’s saintly energy. Every church or chapel had its own relics, even if, in later years, they were not actually the real saint’s bones, but people still believed in them.

Some sites were destined to be lived in, to be holders of sacred life, but others, such as stone circles, were designed to be places of power, ritual and creation. The circles were gateways, allowing energy to flow in or flow out, places considered to be the Divine Womb, where the sun fertilised the seeds of the Mother.

They had other uses too, of course, but in terms of energy work in the landscape, I am focusing on this purpose. Circles like Avebury were used as a clearer of local energies. They acted like giant demanifesters, clearing old energies and allowing them to be renewed. Energies, thoughtforms no longer valid, negative human emotions, are all pulled into the void to be transformed and birthed anew. A good place for ‘letting go’ if you tune into that aspect of the circle. It makes me think of giant snakes eating and destroying, with its body, the negative or outmoded creations of others.

Avebury started life in much the same way as other sacred circles: as a home, a simple wooden structure. Perhaps the person who inhabited the house created the initial energies which ultimately, over hundreds of years, became the Avebury Complex. This is how many of them began. The person creates the necessary thoughtforms, anchors the layers of energy over years, and the people who come after him or her, continue the creation of the anchored blueprint. Even today, this is how sites evolve. You only have to look at how Findhorn began, to get an idea of what I mean. Who knows what Findhorn will become in a few hundred years.

So you see how these massive complexes can have had very humble beginnings. A small family of people who have brought their sacred knowldege with them and who anchor the foundations of very important sites for generations of people into the future. Thousands of years later, and we are learning how to access this energy and renew the sacred work that our ancestors did. Bringing back the balance, anchoring the new seed ideas and changing our ways of life so that future generations can survive and thrive.

This is a very brief explanation, as there are probably books worth of information needed to explain all of this, but I hope it gives you a flavour of how sites began, so that when you tune into one, you carry this knowledge with you.
