Wish you weren’t here?

With everything being such a godawful shitshow lately, do you ever wish you weren’t here…anywhere but here, on Earth? Do you often get caught up in a negative downward spiral, a vortex, a black hole into depression and hopelessness? When I find myself being sucked down into one those whirlpools, I remind myself that I…

Lockdown in Camelot

Here’s an extract from my book, The Dragon Whisperer’s Son, published in 2021, about how an evil imposter, Goronwy Pevr, takes over the land of Camelot. I’m sure some of you will recognise what inspired me! GORONWY PEVR HAD QUICKLY emerged from behind a tall thicket of poison ivy on the opposite bank, and then…

The Redemption of the Father

The avenging of the father in the outer world is the complete obverse to what really needs to be achieved by the shamanic Mysteries initiate, which is the redemption of the father in the inner worlds. It is the avenging of the father that leads to war on Earth; it is the redemption of the…

Backstage at the Theatre of Dreams

On the day I moved to Glastonbury, I was walking up Chilkwell Street towards the Tor and, to my left, I could see, out of the corner of my eye, two evergreen trees that were completely and totally head-over-heels in love with each other. It stopped me dead in my tracks. I was rooted to…

The Honeymoon of the Gods

In my last article, I wrote about the traditional customs that we usually celebrate here in Avalon to mark the duel over the hand of the May Queen. I explained that it is an ancient story or myth that is “written in the stars” to reflect a wisdom teaching about how the alchemical Marriage of…

A Shaman’s Guide to the Esoteric Mysteries of Avalon

I came to Avalon almost 50 years ago, along the secret Green Road of the Soul, the “Mystic Way that leads through the Hidden Door into a land known only to the eye of vision”, as the 20th century mystic, Dion Fortune, described it. I entered that portal through the first ever Glastonbury Festival of…

Stories in the Summerlands: A pilgrimage into esoteric Avalon
