Idho - death and rebirth.
I took this inside the oldest Yew Tree in Britain.
An experience to say the least.

This is the Druid's Altar at Heysham in Lancashire,UK.
There are hundreds of references to Druidic Altars across the British Isles. This one at least looks the part. Located within a few hundred yards of the place where St Patrick is alleged to have landed in England. /|\

Ailim -Sometimes it's important to see the forest as well as the tree.

But I’ll tell you what hermits realize. If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you’ll come to understand that you’re connected with everything.

This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks, Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight, Stand like Druids of old, with voices sad and prophetic, Stand like harpers hoar, with beards that rest on their bosoms.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

I visited a favourite place of mine again today. I have watched these pines grow from saplings. It has been a real privilege to feel their impact on the spirit of place as they have grown and matured. /|\

Nothing truly ends and nothing is truly separate from anything else. Long after we are not here to sit in person beneath its boughs, the Yew Tree will be singing its song, whispering the tales of eternal spirits to those who wish to listen. /|\

This has been my favourite tree to visit this year and it's not the oldest Yew in St Defynnog Church either.
A glory of nature it is thousands of years older than the church plonked right next to it. /|\

This is from our last trip to Mayburgh Henge in Penrith, UK. This is the last of the four stones to remain in place. The Henge itself is huge. This is a very powerful spot. I have found it to be quite physically draining especially when leaving. Anyone else experienced it ? /|\

Great news, the Mischief of Magpies I am nurturing has swollen to 11 birds. It's costing me a fortune in peanuts though.
Does anybody else feel a connection to this incredible species?

These are indeed challenging times, especially for those Druids living through high change over the seas in America. A blessing of strength, courage and peace to you all.

This is the ancient Kingdom of Rheged and I want it back please. The area linked the Celtic North and Celtic Wales. We are Celts this side of the Pennines too!

Is anybody else a sucker for a Green Man? This one can be found on Beacon Fell, Lancashire, UK. I always doff my cap when I pass him.

Although I love to visit these sacred places and oftentimes I will experience a deeper connection to the Spirit of the Ancestors. I am often left with a feeling that we as humans have done nothing to properly honour the Spirit of Place. /|\
