This month of May has seen a shift in our work in Earth Healing. Prior to this, the focus has been on accessing the Feminine Wisdom of ancient sites, but recently we have been able to access the Masculine Energy and information. This is exciting, as it heralds a whole new level of our understanding into the Male-centred fertility mysteries, as known by our ancestors in these lands.
Cowslips on the South Downs Way.
We have been given snippets before now, but over the past few weeks, since a walk along the South Downs Way, this fresh information has started to come through. While doing that walk, to get out of the house, we started at Chilcomb village/hamlet and followed our impulses. As we ambled along, taking photos, we walked through a very icy-feeling area and in front of us appeared a huge, Celtic-looking man. He was tall and broad and wearing only leggings tied around with leather thongs. His very muscular arms and chest were naked, but he had a leather band tied around his left upper arm. His skin was red with the cold, but he seemed not to notice.
We stopped walking to communicate with him, and he handed me a faceted Ruby egg. Next, he gave Chris a golden sickle, like the ones portrayed in druid images with mistletoe. We continued walking after receiving our gifts, unsure why we randomly received them along an ancient trackway until we came to the tumulus on the top of the rise. That explained the man! I was instructed to activate the burial-mound and then take a blue energy from it to two more barrows that I remembered working on fifteen years ago near Cheesefoot Head. The barrows were also on the ancient trackway and sit on a blue energy-line. The track seems to follow some of that line.

Since that day, all the energy-work we have done has been mainly done by Chris. His receiving the Golden Sickle was an initiation into the Male Sacred Mysteries. He has been learning the Feminine Mysteries for the past sixteen years and now it would seem he has reached a point where he can balance that learning with the Masculine Mysteries.
Last week we went to Danebury Hillfort and this week, we went to Itchen woods, where Chris received interesting information about the place. We are being instructed to revisit places we have worked on before. The following video is part of the information we received about the Itchen Woods Banjo enclosure.

When Chris mentions ‘Merlin’ he is referring to the collective energy of the Merlins, the male priests of the Old traditions, not to the fictional character who is an embodiment of the priesthood and masculine fertility energy.
When you receive your first Gaia Method attunement you usually, but not always, receive the energy of a Sword. Like all of the symbols/energies of this system the sword has differing levels of use, from the basic level of more-male focussed thinking to its use as an etheric acupuncture needle while working in the landscape.
As an attunement energy, it is called The Sword of Arthur. It is a directed, male energy which allows you cut to the truth of matters. This is the energetic sword of Western Europe, wherever the King Arthur stories are heard. In Egypt it is a different frequency and is called the Sword of Osiris. Each country or region, which has its own mythology.
As an earth-working tool it is an acupuncture needle, opening, or closing vortices in the landscape. My first experience of working with the sword as an ‘opener’ came when I was visiting Beaulieu Abbey with Chris Bishop in 2005. Usually we just walk until we feel the energy-place we need to work with, so we wandered around until I felt the energy of a vortex. It was about 40 feet in diameter and seemed to come from a small outbuilding of the original monastery, rather than from the main church, as I would have expected. This building was L-shaped and had been used as a wine-press and then a place to store sheep’s wool. (L-shaped building top right of ground plan pic).
I walked to where the centre of this vortex lay and stood on it. Beneath my feet I was suddenly aware of a sword, embedded up to the hilt, in the centre of the vortex. My guides explained that this was the original meaning of the Sword in the stone which Arthur had pulled out and which proclaimed him to the once and future king.
The mysteries were really a story about the Planetary healing being carried out at the time, in Britain, when the country and its people were experiencing huge changes. The stories were a way of keeping the knowledge alive. Arthur, who was wedded to the Goddess Sovereignty (The Earth) had to be as healed and whole as possible. His masculine energy, in its whole sense influenced hte fertility of the land. Those who held the sword energy in their auric field had the ability to open and close the energetic gateways in the landscape. As the energy was allowed to flow unimpeded, the result was balance and fertility. Peace reigned, once the darkness in the land was released and healed, and balance was maniteined by those initiates who had attained a certain amount of self-knowledge and who could ‘wield’ the sword. Wielding the sword meant they listened to their guidance, travelled the country and trusted. They worked independently, and for the good of humanity. They had enough control over their thoughts, and emotions, and had devoted their lives to bringing healing and balance to the land. They were ‘servers’ of the Goddess…the landscape…the Mother.
Back at the vortex, my guides instructed me to pull out the sword, and as I did, the vortex energies began to spin faster, expanding out over a wider area. I was told that when a vortex/gate needs to be ‘quietened down’ for any reason, such as when the site is about to be taken over by forces that would use the energy for a negative purpose, then the sword is used to slow the spin, or close it completely. This decision would not have been taken lightly.
Energy gates/vortices keep the energies of the landscape flowing, and usually caretakers live nearby in order to maintain the site’s energetic status. Abundance flows through these sites, which is why, in the past, places such as these were able to generate such great wealth from the landscape. They worked within nature’s laws and so reaped the harvest. When a site is in danger of being used by people who would takethat harvest for their own greed, a decision is made to either close a gate completely or to slow it down so that the energies cannot be used for personal gain. The men who take the wealth of these sites do not think of it in terms of energy. All they see is the wealth generated and they want that wealth for themselves. But for those who work within the Mother’s energy field it can be a heart-breaking decision to close a gate. They know what will happen when the gates are closed and how that will effect everyone who was otherwise nurtured by its energies.
You only have to look at a sacred building to know its energetic status. If it is in ruins, then its energy is not flowing. If it is still standing, and still used, then the energies are still flowing. Once a gate way is closed then, slowly, the land begins to suffer and so do the people. The ‘light’, effectively, goes out.
There are gates on the ground level, beneath the earth, in caves etc. and in upper levels, on mountains and hills. There are also vortices in lakes and pools of water. There are gates in the energy layers above the earth and the sword is used for all of these.
One piece of information which we picked up in Beaulieu was that there was a connection between Corfe castle and Beaulieu. Corfe castle has gateways on two different levels, which were also closed before it was taken by Cromwell’s forces. The same thing happened to Beaulieu. All of these sites worked together and those who were their caretakers kept the lines flowing between one site and another. They worked together for the benefit of the Mother, her people, and the Source.
This vortex work has been done for thousands of years, even since before our ‘humanity ‘has been incarnating on earth. I have worked with vortices which were millions of years old but the energy is still the same. Our ancient myths and archetypes tell us everything we need to know about the earth.
The more you work with gates/vortices the more they will appear as Lotus’s or roses, or other symbolic energies. They can often also simply be senses as vortices, depending on the energy. You might see them differently. Each ‘flower’ has its own significance. Lotus sites are like minor ‘chakra’ points and magenta roses are connected to the Mother layer, above sea level, and are usually much larger points. The Rose sites are also connected to the ground level and connect to the level above, to the magenta level of the Earth’s energy field. Remembering that these layers are connected to the Divine Mother’s planetary body. If you anchor a rose site, you will know it is a channel for that magenta layer, a channel which allows the Mother’s love to flow into the physical world where it can be accessed by everyone around it.
When you are working on a site you will be guided to use the sword. It is as though you are just a witness to what it happening, as though there is another ‘you’ carrying out this work while you watch and wait. You will see the sword being either placed in a vortex, or taken from one. Sometimes you will see it turning, like a key in a lock or you will hold it high as it opens a gate in another layer above you.
There are also times when you will see an energetic cord being attached to the hilt which you will then take someplace else. Trust what you see … you are not making it up. Just because it seems like it is simply your imagination, it is not. It is on an energetic level, it is really happening! Trust is the key here. The challenge is to learn to watch rather than to make it happen with your mind. You will know when it is being done properly because it will just happen, without you doing anything to force the images. Often what happens can be a surprise. That is a good thing, because then you know you couldn’t possibly be making it up! The more you do it the more you learn to trust it.
The more proficient you become with using the sword energies, your own guides and soul will give you larger swords, for larger work on bigger sites. Usually, while you are in training, you are given small sites to do. As you gradually become used to the energies, and your energy field is able to hold larger amounts of energy, larger sites are then worked with. It isn’t something you think about; it is just something that happens. You are the channel.
Sometimes, depending on how ‘visual’ you are, you will see spirit people giving you swords. They appear in your mind, sometimes days before you even know you are going somewhere. This is because they know you have work to do and they want to activate the energetic tools you hold (as symbols), before you get there. Now you are energetically prepared and your ‘other self’, the one that actually does the work, knows what to do. These spirit people will come in such a way that will give you clues as to what time period and/or energies you are working in. Their mode of dress and actions will tell you. We really are living in a multi-dimensional world and these people inhabit a mythic dimension which helps us humans to rediscover our ancient abilities. All we have to do is to trust.
This can also happen when you are about to give healing to someone. Your guides may come in with additional energy information wihich only become clear when you are working with someone.
