The howling wind

The sun was pretty much hitting the edge of the hills as Gwas and I began our walk towards the Druids Circle. As a note for future reference, we had driven a bit further along the path than we normally we do, but the odd scrapes of the chasse along the bumps on the path led us to understand that such a drive should be avoided in the future.

The wind that accompanied our walk was hauntingly howling, like wolves in the wind. The perfect atmosphere for druidic (Edge Wizardry) night work.

Gwas and I arrived at the circle just as the light faded and darkness blanketed the area. Clouds and (as I mentioned) a howling wind were our company. As is quite often the case we separated out and began work on our individualistic quests.

As seems to be a frequent, though un-intentional habit of mine – I had no direct purpose when coming to the Druids Circle other than to work more towards merging with my Energetic Double. What or how were questions to be answered in due course.

Black Fog

I dowsed to find the most appropriate place for me to be whilst trying to determine what to do and the rods took me to northern side of the circle and deposited me right where we had found a “Sun” power center the last time we were visiting this sacred site and incidentally where we had placed our bottles of water to be energised on that occasion.

I determined which direction to face and the result was westward, towards the ocean and incidentally the sunken sun. As I looked out at a mound (which blocked the view of the sea) I could feel the force of the wind on my back and hear it howling amongst the slopes. Then as my mind quietened down a bit I felt the wind ease off some.

Then with the breeze from behind me I felt a dark fog like “stuff” fill my aura. It didn’t fill me, it filled an area surrounding me, which I later dowsed to ask whether it had been my aura and it was. I was quite scared by this but didn’t break my “connection” – sometimes you have got to trust in your own strength, right?

Being Blown across the Sea

The black fog filled me up and then I was (or rather my consciousness was) blown out across the ocean. I say blown because I felt that it was the wind that had blown me across the ocean. I cant recall seeing any of the sea as I flitted across it but since I “felt” that I had been blown in a westerly direction I must have crossed the ocean.

Pyramid in South America

At some point I began to see and saw that I was flitting across a landscape that was fields, hills and mountains. In no time at all I was “floating” above a Pyramid. Not much different from the following picture…

I was probably about 30 foot above and slightly to one side of the peak of the pyramid and looking down I saw a figure sitting on the steps some two-thirds of the way up the pyramid. I couldn’t distinguish any features of the person because there was a bright glow or light shining out from it. I knew straight away that this was my Energetic Double.

Following the music that uniquely identified me – the music was me

As I looked down at it (him?) I saw that it was playing a flute. I hadn’t noticed until right at that moment that all the while from the moment the black fog engulfed me to this there had been this absolute sole wrenching music playing. Now, as I looked down, I saw that it was coming from the flute that my Energetic Double was playing.

My attention was now completely caught by this music so much so that I could feel tears streaming down my cheeks. I knew – instinctively that this music was what had brought me across the ocean to this place. My first thoughts were that this music was a signature that identified me. But as I listened another realisation dawned on me. It wasn’t representing me. It was me!

If we could turn our D.N.A. into music then that was/is how I would describe it. Honestly though even that description pales in comparison to how it was.

My Double continued to play until these realisations had all hit home and my emotional being was being tested to the limit. Then it stopped and looked up at me. It hadn’t up until now.

Rock being taken

Although it didn’t talk – I understood what it was communicating. Firstly I knew that it had taken the “gift” rock that I had placed at Dinas Bran a few days earlier. Even as it communicated this I felt a “feeling” and looked to the side of where it sat and saw a little rock there. The same rock!

An obscure thought flitted through my mind…Am I just imagining this? My double looked up at the bright shining Sun and the thought entered my head, “Here the sun is shining”.

being “blown” back

With those rather cryptic words my Double blew me back across the ocean (I say blew, that was how I perceived it to be) an instant later I was back at the Druids Circle and the wind started to pick up again. I dowsed for a few minutes to make sure of my experience – and rods confirmed it as I have written it.

As I was dowsing the cryptic words that I had been left with rolled around my brain and a realisation dawned…of course across the Western ocean, in South America it would be the middle of the day! Oh my word!

Sign of the “milky-way”

Our work was done for the night and Gwas and I headed back towards the car. Our stay at the Circle was around an hour and yet our experiences were unlimited. As we got half-way back to the car the sky above (which had been cloud-covered) slowly cleared up and the whole milky way was revealed.

Throughout this blog you will see references to the sun coming out after or during significant moments in our “work”. Well now I am going to add the “stars” coming out to that signage.

Kal Malik ~ Traveller Extraordinaire

After Bryn Celli Ddu we travelled further along the southern coast road towards the village of Brynsencien. We had discovered some interesting new patterns of energy around the ancient mound and chamber, and had spent time drawing upon the Winter Solstice energies. Now we wanted to see whether those energies might change at the next set of sites we planned to visit: The Bryngwyn Stones and The Soar Stone.

2. Bryngwyn Stones: SH462669 – off the A4080 towards Newborough (South West Anglesey) 

We had a vague idea about the whereabouts of the remaining two massive stones that had once formed part of two small circles, and it was much easier to find the location this second time. We parked in a small lay-by next to the A4080 just past the village of Brynsencien and made our way over a stile through the heavily muddied fields towards the imposing sight of the two tall stones in the stark sunlight. 

What's left of the Bryngwyn circles

 In contrast to the smooth clean paths to Bryn Celli Ddu the Bryngwyn stones were surrounded in deep mud, and I was glad of my walking boots. If you plant o visit these stones – be warned – choose a dry summer’s day, and watch for the heavily pitted approach to them, as cows have turned the fields into battlefields. 

The Bryngwyn Stones fascinated us on our last visit because they dowsed as being two small circles, despite the imposing size of the stones themselves. The remaining stones mark the boundary between two fields, but also between the two circles – each original circles must have been in either field. Oddly, we decided to dowse for the position of a King Stone, which I got to be some thirty feet away from the remaining stone in what can only be described as a faery ring – that unique circle of differently-coloured grass in a ring that marks this feature. Kal confirmed the position for me, and we judged that the King Stone was probably quite close to the outer edge of the original stone circle, almost providing the view in the photograph above.

Excellent hide-and-seek material

Kal began to become interested in bathing in the sunlight that was being captured by the smaller female stone (the one with the flat top). I, on the other hand, had positioned myself resting in the completely diametrically opposite position of lying against the flat and upright male stone in the shadeA shade is the energy body of a human being that has become transfixed at a geographical location. The shade retains many of the qualities of the human that it was attached to (memories, character traits, a level of sentience, movement between places known in life).. Not a position I would have chosen, ordinarily, but one which the dowsing rods had led me to take up. Again, this was not something that we noticed initially, but realised when we came to talk to each other – “Oh – look where we’re positioned – opposite each other and standing against the stones that are opposite to our usual polarities!”.  Yes, these are the kind of conversations we have.

I meditated in the shadeA shade is the energy body of a human being that has become transfixed at a geographical location. The shade retains many of the qualities of the human that it was attached to (memories, character traits, a level of sentience, movement between places known in life). of the tall male stone and I felt the energy that I have gathered at Bryn Celli Ddu begin to, well, I can only describe it as…consolidate, or agglomerate. It was like it was re-arranging itself and compacting at the same time, sort of…sorting itself out, if you like. Later, Kal described much the same process, and we again were astonished at the similarity of the experience. We had both experienced it differently, but the effect was the same. We both used different terms to describe it, but the process we were describing was unmistakably similar.

 As I “came to” from my meditation I began to focus on a point in the distance. I had my back to the flat male stone was the angle made my eyes unvaryingly come to rest upon a small mound that stood out in the middle distance that seemed to have a megalith or a structure on top of it. I couldn’t make it out properly at the time, but when I got home I found that this line led to a Dolmen called Bodowyr.

One day I will walk to it and investigate it, because at the time I felt it was a significant alignmentAlignment relates to the concept that humans have their own energy fields that are oriented or formed in a specific way such that the person is either suited better to one energy source of another. Some people have their energy fields empowered by the direct subtle energy force of The Sun, whilst others are empowered by the indirect subtle energy of The Moon. Due to the historical associations and symbolisation of The Sun with masculinity and The Moon with femininity we designate these alignments as either being ‘male’ or ‘female’ alignments accordingly. We interchangeable refer to people as being ‘sun-aligned’ or ‘male-aligned’ and similarly with the female alignment., if only for me. Apparently it stands on a rise that has a view down to the Menai Straits, exactly where the Bryngwyn Stones are situated.

3. Soar Stone, SH319864 – Llanfaethlu village on the A5025 (North West Anglesey) 

The tall Soar Stone is situated next to a church building just off the A5025 Valley to Cemaes road at Llanfaethlu village. It is in a field right next to the road. The stone is about 10 feet tall, flat and encircled by male earth energy. This stone is not connected to other sites, but is self-contained, which is rather unusual, so we have found. We took some photographs, did enough dowsing to realise that there was only a ring of male energy around the stone and that’s it, and then Kal wanted to go. I didn’t, however.

The Soar Stone next to a church

I stood on the sunny side of this male stone. Kal did not need to do any energy work at this site, so stood idly by complaining about the bitter cold and how I should hurry up. I relaxed and began a quick meditation, ignoring his complaints. The only purpose I could determine for this stone was to further charge up my heavily-depleted male energies. I came to realise that I had been working almost exclusively with female energy over the last year, and that over that period I had created a huge imbalance. The Soar Stone, catching the Winter Solstice sunlight square on and being enclosed by a male earth energy field, was helping to bolster my male energy and bring my into a state of equilibrium. After five minutes I felt very balanced (purely subjective, of course) and we were able to take our leave. Simple – effective. 

The 'powering up point' of the Soar Stone

Now that I had achieved and energetic balance Kal was eager to get to the final site that we needed to visit on our little tour of Anglesey – Lligwy Chamber. He felt that something exciting was going to happen there on this special day, and his infectious enthusiasm meant that we headed there without distraction or delay. You can read all about that, including a new energy map of the site, in the next post.
