Hawthorn Essence. Magdalene Down. May 2025

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.

A beetle that Crossed our Path.

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.

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.

Mayday on Magdalene Down, Winchester.2025

We had the idea to go to Magdalene Down Nature reserve for Mayday this year. A few years previously, we had done some work there, which indicated that we needed to be at St Catherine’s Hill for Mayday of the same year. There we learned from the Spirits of the people who had been buried in the round barrows, what celebrations they carried out at the time.

This time, we had a very different experience. We were not really sure if anything had to be done because we could not feel anything. But, we thought we’d just enjoy the nice day and the sunshine. However, that did not last for long. We walked along the path to the barrows and my attention was drawn to a lovely old hawthorn tree. The air was warm and the scent of the hawthorn blossoms carried on the wind, like a gentle balm, nurturing and gorgeous.

I stood close to the tree and felt the impulse to walk around it, anti-clockwise. I did it once and then was told ‘three times.’ This often happens. You feel ONE, and then are told how many more you have to do. After the first round, I became aware of a beautiful feminine energy connected to the tree. It felt like, what in Ireland we would call, a fairy woman. She was part of the tree and yet separate, completely herself. She appeared wispy, not as solid as other fairy beings we have seen with trees, and I could feel her more than see her. Chris stayed outside her energy-field, which was like a bubble around the tree. He said he felt like an ‘outlier stone’.

The fairy woman told me to take a small part of her tree, so I chose a sprig with some flowers on it. She then told me to make tea with it. She also suggested I bring it into the house, to bring the fairies back in. This goes back to an Irish belief that you should never take hawthorn into the house because the hawthorn is a fairy tree. When I was a teenager in the seventies, I brought some flowering hawthorn into my mother’s flat and she immediately ordered me to take it out again. It was bad luck and brought the fairies in. This was the influence of the Catholic church and their demonisation of the Old Ways. Now, this fairy woman was telling me that they wanted me to bring them in. Absolutely yes! I would like nothing better.

That seemed to be the end of the connection so I went outside her energy field and both Chris and I stood, feeling roots growing out of our feet and into the earth. We stayed for a while and then I suggested we move, but it was like we were Ents, pulling our roots up and moving through the forest. We did not get very far because now Chris had to walk around the tree threes times, anticlockwise.

As I stood there, I had the message that in return for the gift of the flowers I was given, I should give something in return. The only thing I had was my Lemurian crystal necklace. So off it came and I hung it on a branch, with gratitude. When the fairies give you a gift there is always something to be given in return. This is not a payment, in the way we humans think of it, but a sharing of something we hold precious. A gift for a gift. Her blossoms, and leaves, and the gift of health it brings , as well as the gift of the communication between us, is precious to them.

We made our way to the burial mounds but I was not feeling that I needed to stand on any of them. Chris, on the other hand, did. So up he went. His task was to bring down the sun, just as he had done when on the barrow near Stonehenge a few years ago. I felt I needed to be at the edge of the barrow. As he brought the sun down I saw it move into the earth and from there I guided it into its womb-like space beneath the barrow. Chris’s job was to bring the solar energy down from the sky and mine was to guide it to the Mother’s womb. Chris saw the energy flow out from its space in the earth and flow in lines out into the landscape. One of those lines went to St. Cross Hospital which we could see in the distance, rising above the trees. Chris was told that I had to bring a rose quartz crystal to St Cross Hospital. So that will be on our list too.

We thought we were finished here, so we followed the path and continued the walk. I remembered the last time I had been here and had made an essence on the barrows, and in a little hawthorn grove, so I wanted to find it again. I didn’t have a plan, I was simply enjoying the sun, but when we entered the grove there was a large hawthorn right in the middle. There was a masculine energy here with this tree, and like the first one, I had to walk three times around it anti-clockwise. This deepens the connection with the elemental, and the tree, and opens the communication. It’s a feeling you get, not something you think you should do. If you are supposed to do it, it will come into your mind, and you will know.

Having done the opening circuits, I was given the thought to connect the two trees, a masculine and feminine balance. I had to place another crystal in this tree to make the connection. This is where I feel glad that I am a stone-picker-upper! One of the quartz stones I had picked up along the walk here had to be placed in its branches. This put it on the same crystalline level as the first tree and a line of gold light connected them. It was like connecting a telephone line between them. (They are at either end of the line of Barrows). This was the knot-tying Chris had done earlier. It was showing him what had to be done.

The crystal energy was important because it connected them to the crystalline layers of the planet. Whoever passes through their energy fields, if they are open to receiving them, would feel the gifts the trees had to offer. These gifts felt like information, ideas, etc.

The connection with these fairy beings was very different to other connections we have made. Maybe it was because they were hawthorn Beings, I don’t know. But their communication was very subtle. So subtle that we were following their pull without even realising it. This is very different to other tree connections we have made, which seemed nearly physical by comparison. This hawthorn communication was as gentle as the air. We had to really focus to receive it and to perceive the Beings connected to them. They were, in the old tradition, hidden from sight.

On the walk back Chris spotted a kestrel sitting in a tree above the site and, when I got to my father’s house, I made some tea with the leaves and the blossoms. Very pleasant. I’ll have to pick some more to keep for the rest of the year then mix it with the berries when they come out. Apparently, after harvesting, it is a good idea to freeze them in a brown paper bag for a couple of weeks, to remove the insects. Well, although I washed the leaves and blossoms, I imagine a few insects went into the tea with them. I’ll freeze them next time.

Not all energywork is ancestral, or elemental. Sometimes we are called to work in places we never imagine would need energywork.

I pass this new EV charging powerhub at Three Maids Hill, in Winchester, everyday and have watched it being built over the past year. On one of my daily journeys to Barton Stacey, as I was passing the hub, which had only opened two days previously, I saw a large geodesic dome over the site. The last time I saw this was in New York over the World Trade centre site when my guides arranged for me to go and do energywork there. My guides suggested that Chris and I go and have a coffee there on our next free morning. It needed work.

This is often how they show me what to do. They show me an image of what is needed and then I go and anchor that energy. Although, in this case it turned out to be so much more.

On a free morning, we both went and got a coffee in the new Starbucks. We felt we needed to be sitting outside the coffee-shop, so we brought our drinks outside and sat at one of the round tables. Almost immediately, I was aware of the geodesic dome around the entire site, each hexagonal ‘window’ a different colour. This is the same as the colourful dome I anchored in New York and I wondered if the flute would be used again, to bring the necessary changes. Chris began to anchor a solar ray, much as he had done at Stonehenge at the solstice in 2023, seeing the solar ray come in and move into the ground, where it solarised the water beneath the site. He was aware of it being like a network of lines, a spider of energy. (We realised that, of course, this is probably what all the wiring underneath the charging stations looks like). It looked like a Catherine wheel, sending energy outwards in a circular motion.

Chris then became aware of Cernunnos, but the Horned God did not feel connected to this place, but to some other place. (As it turned out, he was waiting patiently for us to visit to finish what we were doing here). Cernunnos had his antler headdress on and he was carrying a staff which he banged on the ground three times, sending out pulses of energy.

Next, I became aware of golden lines of light coming from the earth and moving up as though they were fibres of spun yarn being plied. They flowed upwards looking like now like a tree trunk and then splitting off to create branches. A massive, powerful dragon then appeared as if it were part of this energy but it felt so huge, like a storm, and yet it was simply power. Suddenly, each branch ending suckered onto one of the hexagons and began charging the hexagon it was attached to. The solar energy Chris had anchored into the ground, from the sun, was now being sent out in a different form to connect with this dome, creating a circuit of solar light.

We were, of course, at a, EV station which was powered by solar light, solar panels lining the edge of the area. But it was as if what we were doing was charging the area with solar light, of an energetic nature, making it blend harmoniously with the physical energy. I then saw how this network of solar charging stations would be all over the country and that it was not a bad thing. (I had been on the fence about electric cars), because it was utilising a form of energy which would be better for the world, ultimately. These stations would be integrated harmoniously with nature.

After a few minutes, I saw the dome again, and this time all the hexagons had turned to gold, fed by the solar energy circuit. The entire dome was now made up of gold hexagonal cells. Solar cells. But then another energy began to move up my body from my belly. It was lunar this time and it took the form of a woman dressed in white lunar light. A small silver, lunar, tree appeared beside the solar one and it grew alongside it. (This was connected to the work we had done in Flowerdown the previous week). The tree did not do what the other tree did but it grew to a smaller height and then its silver-white leaves and branches grew between the golden branches. Yet, although it was intertwining with the gold tree, it remained itself, radiating lunar light into the branches of the golden tree. It was using its light to hold and support the functioning of the golden solar tree, softening the strong masculine energy of the solar light. The lunar tree, feminine, was connected to the water which the solar beam had moved through when Chris brought it in. It made such a beautiful image, the lunar light holding, and feeding, the branches of the solar tree.

Both of these trees, in their own ways, were holding the energy of this dome. Working together to hold the balance. It was only when we were getting ready to go that I realised that we were sitting beneath a lovely young tree. A Silver Birch. So I’m guessing, the trees will balance the solar energy here.

Once we were finished, we felt pulled to go to The Running Horse pub in Littleton, followed by Flowerdown Barrow again. This was the reverse of what we had done on our last visit there.

We had a tea in the pub and made our way to the Disc barrow, aware that we were doing, in reverse, what we had done last time. This time, it was my turn to walk around the standing stone. I walked around it, sunwise, three times, feeling dizzy at the same place as Chris had done, (on the left side of the stone). I imagine this was because I was at the right layer to be working on. As I walked, I was winding an [etheric] golden thread around the stone, so it was wound three times around it.

Next, we walked to the smaller barrow and stood in the centre. A large gold pin was embedded in the ground by my feet which anchored the gold thread.

We continued on to the main Disc Barrow, aware that I was bringing the thread with me. Standing in the centre of the barrow was the Horned God, Cernunnos, patiently waiting for us. I walked to the centre, and pinned the gold thread there too. We were very aware that the stone was not in its original position, but yet we could see and feel that connection-memory strongly, as if the stone was still connected to its original position. In connecting the stone to the barrow we were, effectively, repositioning it energetically into its current position, holding its newer connection to the barrow, as it had done for centuries in its prior position.

I also became aware of a red line, moving from the centre of the disc barrow towards the smaller barrow. (This happens the same way when I am doing a crystal reading in that I see what crystals, or other objects, need to go in the layout, and the pattern that needs to be created with them). The red line had not been anchored yet, but I was shown what needed to be.

Cernunnos was facing Chris and gave him a necklace made of antler, a small portion of his energy for Chris to work with. It felt like an attunement, for Chris, into the energy of Cernunnos. (And, as that is his energetic name, given to him when he received his first Gaia Method Attunement, it was very fitting. It indicated that he had come into his own, in terms of development and service to Mother Earth. Time to step more into his Cernunnos role).

Leaving the barrow, we walked over to the smaller Barrow where I brought the red line and pinned it to the centre. This red line was bringing the vitality of the main barrow to feed the smaller barrow, which is part of the over all grid. The gold line is solar. The sense was that it was also balancing nature and mankind.

On the barrow with us there was a woman dressed in a long flowing dress. They usually look either Elvish or mythical, because they represent a feminine energy connected to nature, the ancestors or elementals. She placed an apple in each of my hands, one silver, and one gold. The silver apple went into my right hand, where I would have expected the gold apple to be placed. The gold is a more masculine energy. The apples represent the knowledge and wisdom of the level in which she exists. In this case, the feminine knowledge of solar and lunar energy.

Next, she placed around my neck a small diamond-shaped bottle filled with diamond light. This was to be integrated when when I needed a boost of energy or information. The three energies created a triangle. This connects the gold, and silver, apples to the Diamond light of the earth’s energy field, that part of the crystalline field of Mother earth which is her higher mind.

I will soon find out what all this is about, but it feels like an understanding of both the masculine and feminine energies and how they work together to create the balance of Mother Earth. According to her designs. Not my will but thine.

Return to Flowerdown Disc Barrow

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

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


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

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

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

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

Flowerdown Disc Barrow.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I love this work!

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

Spring Flames.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tree Connections in Crab Wood, Winchester

I’ve been seeing a chiropractor for a few weeks now, fixing a twisted pelvis and a curve in my spine, which I’ve had for a number of years but did not realise. My sessions are twice a week, in Winchester, so it gives me the perfect opportunity to not only have my breakfast in Kneaded, a great cafe with chef-cooked food, and delicious hot chocolate, but also to meet up with friends and do some energy work around Winchester.

Today, ( 28th Feb 25) Chris and I went to Crab Wood, in Sparsholt, Hampshire, to visit a tree. One of the trees I wanted to show Chris, we could not find, but we connected to some others instead. One of them, I wanted to specifically visit on behalf of a friend in Ireland, but to connect with this one, I first had to touch base with the Mother tree deeper in the woods.

As usual, when we meet a tree, we walk around it anti-clockwise. Once we had completed one circuit, we stood facing it, and Chris felt his heart connect with the heart of the tree. (He had received the heartwood symbol which Malia (a friend form California) and I had been gifted by a pine tree in Micheldever woods last October). Chris received his from the lovely old tree in Winchester Cathedral grounds last week, which I will write about too, as they are all connected.
Once Chris had connected to the heart of the tree, he saw bands of colour around the tree, half a meter above the ground and about a meter out from the tree itself. The colours were light brown, brown and orange.
I had the idea to walk around the tree again, to see if more were added, but instead, the rings moved with me. Chris then walked around it again, and the same things happened. The bands of colour moved with them. So it was our connection to the tree that was creating them. This was a new experience.

I stood with my back against the tree, feeling a pull to do that and Chris saw the tree reaching towards me as if it was giving me a hug. With my back against the trunk I became aware of my spine being as straight as the tree trunk, as though I was part of the trunk. Sap rose up my spinal column and into my head and from my head I was aware that the sap was rising into the branches that emerged from my head, as though I was the tree. The sap fed the leaves and branches in a delicious way and I felt very connected to the vitality of the tree itself, and to the sun, to which my branches were reaching.

Chris, with his back against the trunk felt the energy rising from the earth up through his feet and into this veins, spreading out through his body, to the heart, which was important because his heart was now connected to the trees. From there, it went to his shoulders, down his arms and out through his hands. Finally, it spread through his head, meeting at a point at the top. He felt the impulse to spread his arms out and then his fingers, so he too became a tree.

My biggest feeling then came from the tree to share her energy with others. The consciousness of the tree needed to be sent out to other people so they could connect with the trees in this way. She said that Mother trees did not differentiate between fir trees, oak trees, beech trees or larch, etc. The energy was shared, sent out to all, so every tree could benefit. She did not make the decision that one group of trees were privileged to receive her knowledge and energy while others had to stand in want, but that every tree would be given it. (later I understood what this meant when I received channelling about writing a book about the connection between Runes and Trees; not something I understand, but which I’m sure will become clear!)

As I stood with my back against the tree, I began to see a gold disc forming at the level of my lower Tan Tien, on the Hara line, its centre at my centre and expanding horizontally a metre out from my body. As I later discovered, this was an information disc, for the project of the tree book.

Chris was drawn to two oak trees a little distance away so we headed over to them. I had brought water from the two springs at Glastonbury, the red spring and the white spring and shortly thereafter, I found why I was told to bring it. As we wandered over to these oak trees, Chris was suddenly told that they were called Arthur and Guinevere, which completely surprised him. Then he was told that the Mother tree we had connected to was called Albion. He found this hilarious, and strange. But, I’m guessing this is symbolic of something the trees were trying to show us around the masculine and feminine energies of Albion.

Once we got to the trees, I was told to walk an infinity symbol around them, connecting them together, like I had done before here but on the other side of the woods. Once we had walked one round of the symbol, which is all they needed, I anchored the centre of the symbol where the lines cross over, with a sapphire, which relates to the sapphire level of the crystalline energy-field around the earth.

Focusing on the sapphire, I then saw a small white flame with a yellow centre grow from the ground beneath the sapphire. The white flame is a flame of renewal. I have anchored a white flame, much larger than this, in Coldridge woods in Wiltshire, which was my very first flame experience, but this flame had a tiny yellow centre. Not sure what that means but it reminded me of a Frangipani flower which I saw a lot of in Egypt.

Once this was done, it was time to visit the beech tree down by the road, which holds the sapphire energy around it. However, as we walked back towards the Mother Tree, I spotted a piece of iron, part of a plough which had been discarded. In Egyptian hieroglyphs, the plough (also called a Hoe) is not only a letter, Mer, but also a ritual object. In the Gaia Method Earthways, we use it as part of the creation of foundations of ‘temples’. In the past, this was part of the sacred building process of building physical temples, but in our work it signifies building energetic landscape temples. So, it felt like a little reminder that we were building foundations.

Although saying that, it could just have been part of a plough. 😁

We continued on our way to the other beech tree, saying a mental thank you as we passed the Mother Tree.

At the beech, by the road through Crab Wood, we connected to the amethyst sphere around the tree which I had anchored there last year. I had been ‘told’ to bring a bottle of water to make an essence here so, after pouring some of the Glastonbury water at the roots, connecting it, again, to the other trees. I took it out and waited for what to do. Immediately, an energetic, hand, that looked cartoon-ish, formed from the sapphire energy and plunged itself into the bottle of water in my hands. It remained there, infusing the water with its energy and then it changed frequency and became yellow topaz. This felt like crystalline sunlight.

With both of those energies now in the water, the last energy that appeared was the sapphire, which formed a sphere around the bottle just as the amethyst sphere contains this tree. This sphere not only contains the bottle, with its two energies inside, but also adds its sapphire energy to the whole. This is the first time this has happened so it was very interesting. I understand that the essence is for those who work with trees in this way, connecting them energetically to other trees and connecting an energetic tree-field.

It was interesting that the Arthur and Guinevere infinity connection was on this side of the woods. I had done the same thing at the other side last year (and which Chris did not know about) and two trees were also connected to each other with the infinity symbol, One was feminine and the other masculine. But it was a Mother and a Brother tree that had to be connected. Again, holding some symbolic meaning that the trees understood.

So that was the end of that, until I got home and channelling came through telling me about a connection between runes and trees. I’m still trying to work that out, but they did say it would take time…

White Dragons of Snow and Ice.

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.

Fossils and Fossil coral from Clohastia, on the River Barrow, Co. Kilkenny.

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.

By M Pitkanen

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.

Connecting Trees with Crystalline Energy.

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.

View of Sparsholt from the edge of Woods.

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 independently with 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.

You can’t miss it.

The Brigit Flame. Part Five. St Mary’s Church, Crawley, Hampshire.

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.

Hawthorn

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.

Green Dragons from the River Test.

Around fifteen years ago, we visited Ashe church, near Overton, in Hampshire, looking for the source of the River Test. We were doing it out of interest, rather than anything else, because at that time, I was studying archaeology and interested in the little Saxon church there.

Source of the River Test.

Nothing much happened on the first visit, because the source of the river rose on land that was not public, so we could only see it from a distance. On a subsequent visit, however, we met the owner, and he gave us permission to go through his field so we could be beside it.

Sitting on the island of vegetation in the middle of a little lake created by the spring, there was a large green dragon. We were both aware of it, my friend Chris and I, but it wasn’t there alone. Its babies surrounded it; little green dragonlets playing on the island.

St. Nectan’s Waterfall.

We had never seen dragon-babies before and had no idea what they were meant to represent. We had, however, met with the green-dragon-energies before on our travels, in St. Nectan’s waterfall, where the water gushes through a slate hole, carved out by the waters of the river Trevillet. The Trevillet rises as a spring not so far away from the site, and its influence stretches from its source to the sea, where Tintagel Castle stands. It travels via the river, until it pours through the slate hole at St. Nectan’s, and then moves overland to the castle. Its tail is at the source of the river; its head at the castle.

(After first connecting to the Dragon energies here, we found a little book about it! Energies come through the subconscious, so this author was aware, without realising it perhaps, of its energy).

You can buy this online.

So, here we were, looking at a mother dragon, and her little ones, with no idea what to do next. We didn’t know what they were for, either. Although we knew they were associated with springs, we knew nothing more. We left, still none the wiser, and returned to Winchester where we visited the three sarsen stones in the Abbey Grounds, near King Alfred’s statue. While I was walking across the grass, I noticed a green baby dragon hanging onto my calf, like a toddler. This was so ridiculous I was afraid to say it out loud, so I kept it to myself. It was too much like a children’s story but, of course, it really only meant that I had somehow carried a portion of this green dragon energy with me when I left the Test spring.

Three sarsen stones, Abbey Gardens. Winchester.

Our minds create images of energies we can accept, on some level, otherwise, they are nebulous and we do not understand their purpose or function. The unconscious knows how we process information, and how we learn about symbols, so it presents information in a way that makes sense.

But I was keeping my mouth shut, anyway.

Back in the Abbey gardens, with a baby dragon hanging out of me, I got the feeling that we needed to go to the Cathedral, and as soon as we set foot in the door, the baby let go of my leg and leapt up the stonework of the building to the roof, where it remained. I still didn’t understand why it was there and wondered if it had anything to do with the blue energy-line that runs beneath the Cathedral. Only on later visits did I understand more.

After I left the dragon baby at the Cathedral, ‘they’ then instructed me to visit the Bishop’s Place, which was close by. Another baby dragon energy left my leg and flew to the top of one wall, where it too remained.

Bishop’s Palace, Winchester.

I never told anyone, except Eartha (who knows about this stuff), and Chris, until two friends, visiting the Cathedral, and palace, separately, and on separate occasions, told me they had seen a young green dragon-energy flying around the ceiling of the Cathedral and around the inside of the bishop’s palace! They had grown since I had left them there, and now that they had seen them too, I didn’t feel so crazy and could share how they got there.

Over the years, the dragons have grown, and other people have reported back to me about their presence. It is always such good confirmation and worth not telling anyone until getting that. When other people see what you see, you realise you are perfectly sane and rational, no matter how things appear to the contrary.

As my guides say: “Green dragon energy creates an environment of growth and potential. Where the spring rises, there is the promise of life.” Pretty succinct and pretty clear. Because this is dragon energy, which is elemental, that new life comes as vegetation; the food which feeds us, and all creatures that exist on the planet, including the planet herself.

Those two green dragons were anchored there nearly fifteen years ago, and we have watched them grow since then. However, we were not prepared for our last visit there, the day after Queen Elizabeth died.

My friend, Chris, and I were walking towards the Cathedral after a brief pitstop in Chococo’s to get a hot chocolate, and as we reached the graveyard, I became aware of a huge energy surrounding the building. It felt elemental but as we got nearer; I saw that the green dragon energy that we had planted there had now grown to encompass the entire cathedral. The physical Cathedral was now inside the dragon energy, and not vice versa.  

Winchester cathedral Dragon Energy.

We went into the building and walked along the central aisle to the centre point (there are three points along the aisle: the Head, Heart and Hara centre). As we proceeded, we were aware that we were inside the dragon’s body. I was instructed to stand on the Hara point, which in the physical body, equates to the centre behind your navel. This point connected to the Hara line of the Dragon’s body too. I felt the connection, but nothing else happened, so we pottered off to the little prayer chapel. I wanted to go to the main altar but the back of the cathedral was cut off to visitors.

After pottering around, I felt drawn back to the dragon-centre point again and this time, as I took my place there, a green column from the dragon’s Hara-centre, descended around me. When it reached the floor, it filled up with the green of the dragon’s energy, like green fluid, filling all the way up. When it was filled, ivy began to grow at my feet, spiralling upward, around the green column until it reached the point where the column emerged from the dragon’s body. There was a feeling of something being reciprocated here, but I didn’t understand what that might be. It could be because we had anchored this dragon here in the first place and I was being given this gift of ‘greenness’ in return. I don’t know. There are many gifts we are given in return for our service and this was one of them, and although I do not know what it is for, I’m sure I’ll soon find out.

So, if you are visiting Winchester Cathedral, tune into the green dragon there, and see what happens. You might be surprised, and she might have something for you to do too.

The Chalice/Grail.

This was written while I was still living in Egypt.

As with the Sword, again we are dealing with Arthurian myth, and also ancient symbols. These energies have many functions, but the prime energetic function of the chalice is a vessel, a vessel which holds divine energies. It is not an attunement energy, but something that you become as you continue to clear out your own personal issues – and devote yourself to service of the Planet and its healing. You become the vessel of Divine energies. This means you are an open channel and have agreed, with your guides and Elders, to be the receptacle of energies which can be placed or used in the environment to bring balance and healing.

Sometimes, when I am passing an attunement I am holding a chalice and giving a communion wafer to someone. This is usually because I am going to be giving a specific energy to someone. The communion wafer is the energy of the Mother. It is her ‘bread’, the bread of life which sustains us and is given as a gift from her chalice, her vessel. The ‘communion bread’ is her substance but it has also been charged with the Divine Masculine Solar energies and so it is a balance of both. But it remains symbolic of the knowledge and sustenance that is the gift of Mother Earth, to us. It is her divine gift of ‘communion’, in its real sense. Communing means to get very close to something or someone. Taking this communion into your body can’t get much closer that that.

The following was written while I living in Egypt: “Yesterday, while I was writing and listening to music, I felt the need to raise my arms up. This is usually when I am about to receive energies from ‘Upstairs’. One of the energies I brought down was a large communion wafer, like the one the Catholic priest places in his mouth during the mass ritual. I knew this meant I was about to pass on a larger amount of energy than usual  and as my friend Chris (without whom the Gaia Method Earthways would never have happened) is coming to Luxor for a month, and will go through  his sixth gateway initiation, I imagine it will be for him. So, again, the energies which you need will often be given in advance. All you have to do is be open to receive it.”

When you are about to do energywork, your guides place the necessary energies into your centre, your lower Tan Tien behind the nevel). It can feel as though you are an open cup which is being filled, and this feeling can be very physical, like there is something heavy in your belly. These energies are very real and, like the water energies of the ‘umbilical’, you will carry them until you have placed them where they need to be.  winchfishchalice2

Once you have become the energies of the Grail, you are also then able to anchor that energy in the earth. While I was working in Winchester with Chris and Eartha, we had to join energy lines together – over a period of time. (We had received our ‘instructions and downloads’ at the Chalice Well in Glastonbury). Together these lines joined into an archetypal energyfield of fish, Chalice and crib, joined together to create the energies of male and female fertility.

In this image, the chalice is the two yellow lines which cross. Each point, and end of a line, joins to a sacred site. The fish encompasses the whole image representing the fertility of water.i.e. the river Itchen. (I will deal with the fish energy in another post). We didn’t know what was going to be the outcome, but we followed our directions, anchoring and walking a line until it became apparent that what we were doing was creating an archetypal energyfield in the landscape.

The entire energy is the Fish in the Chalice which leads to a divine Birthing (Crib) of energies in Winchester. I am aware that much of this work appears in Christian symbols, but these symbols are ageless and were incorporated into Christian religion because they are potent symbols of power and contain universal meaning. The fish is a symbol of the fertility that comes from the water. The cauldron, I believe, is the precurser to the grail/chalice, women traditionally being the keepers of the cauldron and sacred wells. The masculine principle joins with the feminine energies in the landscape to create the birth of new thinking, new ways of living which are more in tune with the land, and new life; a wondrous creation.

Although the Grail story itself originated in the Christian tradition, and with the Arthur stories, women, such as priestesses, have learned to hold these sacred energies. They have gotten to a point where they could hold the energy, in complete trust, without trying to control the placement of the energies they are given.

I remember the first time, I became aware of my guides filling my chalice with energies in preparation for a working. Chris and I were due to go to Farley Mount, Winchester, the following day. It was January 2009. We were sitting in our caravan when  one of my Elder guides came in.

He planted a white flame, with blue, pink and yellow flames, as though it were one four-fold flame, in my lower tan Tien. I somehow knew it was for energy work we were about to do at Beacon Hill, a few miles away. Four lines went out from the flame and created an X. At the end of each line of this X was a white lotus, with the three colours, blue, pink and yellow on the petals. They felt like four places where the flowers would be ‘set’.

The energy moved in through the top of my head, and through my body, until it sat behind my navel. It was a very strange experience, as though I was an open pot. At that point I was not aware of how the energies worked or of the significance of the Chalice, but, the following day, I planted the energies and then I understood. When it happened next time, I was more prepared.

It seems to be a common occurrence, that before I am due to do any work, whether it be to pass an attunement or to work in the field, the energies are placed in my chalice. If I am given energies to hold and I am not passing an attunement then I know that within a short time I will have to do some work somewhere. The more you progress, the larger your energy-field becomes, and the more energies you can hold. Doing any other form of healing, or energyfield training, helps to expand the amount of energy you can channel and hold.

I wrote the above many years ago and have become used to these energies coming in. They still come in days before a significent working, but I have grown familiar with the feelings in my belly, so that they no longer feel so unusual. Unless, of course, it is going to be a big working needing a lot of energy.

In 2009 I also recorded a dream: I was in Duiske Abbey in Graiguenamanagh (where I grew up) but it was called the Old Minster (in Winchester). The church was not there initially, then it was. I raised my arms and brought down a large gold chalice and anchored it in the foundations. I kept forgetting my sandals and uncle Philip was standing there as one of the guardians.(In life, he was very connected to the abbey in Graiguenamanagh). He had this whole set-up of a beautiful clear-blue water beach. The water was pristine and sparkling and I wanted to go into it.

This dream was about the anchoring of the Divine Feminine energies in Winchester Cathedral, which we have been doing for nearly twenty years now, and clearing the water lines beneath Winchester itself. The spring is also beneath the high altar in the cathedral. Of course, many other people come to Winchester to do their energywork, adding to the layers of change and growth.

So not only are we the vessels, we also anchor the grail energies, the Divine Feminine, where it is needed. But always under guidance. Often we only know what to do once we get there.

Sometimes, during an attunement, another chalice will appear. This is often filled with blood, and you are asked to drink from it, or to offer it to someone else to drink. The blood in the chalice often represents an emotional sacrifice which will be painful. When you offered this chalice, you are being asked to go into a situation which will be emotionally challenging. A challenge to help someone else which will mean personal difficulty. This chalice is usually to do with a conscious self-sacrifice for the good of the whole. Drinking the cup means you have accepted the role you will play and the situation may mean having to sacrifice what you feel comfortable with, in exchange for a situation which is not. This is only offered because you are strong enough to do the work, and becasue there is persoanl healing involved too.

You do not have to accept this, but I usually do, even though I KNOW it is going to be difficult. I have learned, from experiecne, that it is a soul sacrifice and that both myself and the other person person involved will be in a MUCH better postion when all is done. The end result is often the best reward. Again, this idea of sacrifice of anaethma to our modern way of thinking, especially in the modern world of self-care, etc. But in the world of the Soul, certain agreed sacrifices offer you much growth. You might have to sacrifice money, freedom, joy, or whatever, for a time, but there is always much to be gained by acepting it. You go into a situation knowing what it will entail. You are not going in blindly. It is a choice.

If we are always thinking of ourselves and our own welbeing, and not considering the people around us, we become narrow, selfish, greedy and lacking in compassion. Sometimes, for the greater good, and for the healing of someone else, we need to put some of our needs on the back burner. But it is with concious awareness that we do it with intention and we always have the choice.
