The Spirals on the River of Life

9/24/2015

Back in my favorite chair in my special room where I love to read and write. The day after the Autumn Equinox. Feeling the shift of energy and finding myself settling in to fall and rhythms of school, cooler mornings, and being pulled in. Returning to my blog, where I love to write. Somehow, writing here gives me a container in which to write and share my journey. My spiral journey, with all of its unexpected twists and turns. Truly a spiral in every way. Never a straight line.

I recently have had a profound awareness around the nature of a journey or a path. We are going along our path, often with a destination in mind. The path is beneath our feet and we move forward along this path, sometimes with a destination in mind, sometimes just going along.

And then something happens. Life. Life happens.

A loved dies - or kills himself. You become unexpectedly pregnant. You have a son or daughter who needs you to assist them in some unexpected way. Perhaps she hit her head and can no longer attend school. Perhaps he need daily help with his daughter, and needs you to return to the town he lives in to be the hands-on grandmother. Just when you thought you knew where you were going to be and what you were going to do, Life calls you to a different place, in a different direction.

As one friend says, she sees it like a river. There is the main river of your life, and then there are these tributaries that can suddenly pull you off and into their flow. So you hang out there for a while, living and traversing its rapids until you've run the course of the tributary and you find yourself back in the river. You may find yourself miles further down when you return to the river, or perhaps you're quite close to the place where you departed. Yet you know that you're back on the river. It feels familiar - and that you've returned to something right and flowing with who you are and your life's purpose.

You can look at the tributaries as diversions, or detours, as places where you got lost and an unnecessary journey that pulled you off your path. Yet, you know you're a different person from your travels on the tributary. Something in you has developed, changed, matured, deepened. Relationships have been created and built, or completed, children have been born. But what if these "detours" are actually just as necessary and essential to your life's journey as the river itself?

I see a picture of a straight-ish line going along with these spirals off to the right side, and then the left side, and on and on in varying sizes, each one taking us on a ride and journey that plops us back on the line somewhat close to where we got pulled off. Somehow, we still continue to move forward even as we take these excursions.

I wonder if somehow these spirals actually give us exactly what we need to continue to move forward on our life's path - the skills, the strength, the insight, the courage, the fortitude, the wisdom, the hindsight, the compassion - so that we can actually move forward and bring to our life's path the necessary ingredients to fully receive it, fully own our path, fully contribute to our unique purpose and reason for being alive?

What if there are actually no detours or diversions? What if the tributaries are as much a part of our life's path as the river itself? What if the tributaries and the experiences we have on them are actually what source the river to continue to flow forward? What if without the tributaries and its gifts of growth, development and transformation, we actually wouldn't be able to withstand the rapid flow of the river and would drowned, or be thrown out of the river, defeated by its intensity?

Perhaps we need to develop a capacity or a skill, or an understanding that would support us being able to being in the rapids of the river. I can liken it to having the wrong kind of boat to navigate the rapids, and this particular tributary would give us the experiences to build the right boat so that we safely and smoothly navigate the waters; perhaps I don't have a strong enough oar, and so need to develop an oar to dig deep into the depths of the water.

What if the tributaries are actually the cultivating, strengthening and harmonizing we need to stay true to the essence of the river, our life's purpose, and all that it demands of us? The purpose isn't some destination off in the future at the end, but now, in the present, in each and every moment where we get to recognize and align with our soul's purpose, and choose to reconnect with it, over and over again, and receive and live it fully. In turn, each time we choose to recognize and return to the river, we connect with something greater, both within ourselves and within the bigger world. We then contribute to the greater good of the world at large by being our truth and living our purpose, each time with a deeper sense of presence, capacity, courage, commitment and wisdom.

I'm feeling like I might just be returning to the river...

How did I awaken to my Vagina, you may ask?!!

2/20/2015

What if my strength and the core of my being ~
the tap root within my body is my vagina,
has been hidden in plain sight all along?

I was in Prague nearly 2 months ago, when I made a vow to cross the threshold. I committed to taking a journey, a descent down to the Dark Goddess, to explore my shadow, my depths, my hidden and rich interior, to find the gold in the dark interior.

What would call me down...and in? What could lure me across the threshold, and perhaps even show me the map of this journey? When and how am I going to go to the core and connect to my roots, cultivate my strength, and live my life, fully aligned with my soul and my soul's purpose? What will it take for me to go to the core? It sounds like what will it take for me to "go to the mat?"

What will give me the catalyst, and even more, give me the map with directions and a guide to take this seemingly perilous journey? What, who will guide and provide for me every step of the way?

The Path. The Path will guide and provide for me every step of the way.

My experience of walking a sacred pilgrimage is that there are places along the way that seem to have a pull on you and that you remember differently than other places. They may just have a personal significance for you. Something happened to you at that place. Perhaps you had an insight, a breakdown, a breakthrough, an encounter that somehow changed you and in turn, this place becomes a personal sacred site for you. Long after your actually being there, they continue to work on you, reverberating in you on a cellular level, opening minute spaces to light and awareness, and creating shifts and change on a molecular level.

Also possible is that a site holds a more universal sacred energy. Usually, energy ley lines converge here. Something feels different. Special. Heightened. Resonating. Often there is a well, a grove, a church, a Celtic cross, an ancient stone, or a stone circle at this very site as evidence that reflects and/or celebrates the converging energies, and that most likely, people have been gathering here for thousands of years to align with the energies, celebrate them, receive from them, use them. There is so much that I could write about sacred sites - a whole book could be written. Many books have been written. I will create a Resource Page on my website so that you can easily access and find different books on sacred sites, pilgrimage, etc.

Boscowen'un

In all of my walking and pilgrimages, the site that continues to "work" on me the most deeply is Boscowen'un, the sacred stone circle that lies on the Mary Michael Line in western Cornwall.

This sacred site has invited me, moved me, held me and challenged me both times that I have journeyed to it, first in June 2013 when I walked by myself for 15 days, and then again last summer in June 2014, when I was co-leading the Spiral Paths Pilgrimage where we weave together the pilgrimage journey
with the sounding of the Earth. Here's what I wrote in June 2013:

The image of the sacred circle of stones with a vertical stone in the middle has been with me throughout this journey. I experienced it at Boscawen-un just outside of St. Buryan in western Cornwall on the second day of my pilgrimage. This circle is a very ancient, potent and powerful circle of stones that invited me in to lie down in the middle next to the vertical stone, with the intention to open and receive its energies. Since then, I have been mulling over the stone circles, and the image of the circle and the point in the middle. I believe that it is an ancient symbol that speaks powerfully and directly to our heart, soul and psyche and does not even engage the mental mind.

@Gifts from the Path. Boscowen'un Stone Circle, Penwith, Cornwall. June 2013

Over the past 20 months, Boscowen'un has worked and worked me, and has even become the core of the body of work that Wende and I are co-creating together. As we work with the energies of our experiences together and develop our body of work together, we keep returning to Boscowen'un. It was a central to our 2014 pilgrimage experience, and we continue to consciously use it as we co-create. We both had very powerful experiences here this past summer, in profoundly different ways. I will share mine in another blog post.

To deepen our working with the energies of Boscowen'un, Wende and I decided to work more closely with the energies of Boscowen'un within the container of a coning in early January. Since this day, we both have had access to deeper wisdom and guidance, and have also experienced significant shifts in our lives, both independently and together, that is creating a flow of energy moving us forward. Decisions have been undone and changed. Directions have significantly shifted. Anything that was not fully aligned with the profound energies of Boscowen'un rapidly dropped by the wayside. Choices and decisions that just a few months ago seem improbable are now in place. Just to give you an idea:

Homeschooling my 13 year old daughter for the remainder of 8th grade. She was hit by a cosmic 2x4 in early November. Quite literally, she fell backwards and hit her head, ending up with a concussion and persistent, significant headache that made going to school impossible. It became clear after the holidays (and the beginning of January) that going back to school was really not an option, thus homeschooling, a choice that has redirected and shifted both of our lives.
Waiting to offer the next Spiral Path Pilgrimage to Cornwall in 2016 instead of 2015.
Not leading a proposed hiking walk tour in Cornwall in June 2015 for a small group from Boulder.
Not offering a tour in July with my father for his historical saga, The Miner and the Viscount, choosing instead to focus on marketing the book to hundreds and thousands of people, expanding into the vision of the book becoming a TV or movie series, and creating a documentary.
Receiving invitations to walk in France, Scotland and even the Great Wall in China, yet it's not time to choose or do anything to define the future.
Enrolling in a crazily named class, Vagina Kung Fu, an 8-week class designed to strengthen the vagina. More about this later!!

While each of these shifts and choices has been very unexpected, there has also been an inner experience that each has been divinely orchestrated. I've just had to pay attention, accept what it, surrender, be willing, align myself with, and stay open to the flow. Sure, I could fight and resist, but I can feel the rightness of all that is showing up and unfolding. I am being asked to be present, responsive and open to receive the ancient wisdom and innate intelligence of this sacred site, and to trust this journey that it takes me on.

Only now am I now ready to fully receive the natural intelligence and innate wisdom held in the stones of Boscowen'un.

A most powerful, personal sacred site, and an ancient sacred circle of stones that has been part of this wild landscape for thousands of years. I experience this sacred site as a place of worship and celebration of the Goddess. These sacred stones in a sacred configuration remind us of the dark feminine energies that pulsate in the Earth, and offers us a way to reconnect with Her and find our way home to ourselves through an intimate, loving, powerful, respectful, co-creative relationship with Her and all of her beauty and resources.

This circle of stones is guiding and providing me with the map, the container, the calling and the pull into the core of my being, deep into my depths, my essence, my body and my Soul.

@Wendalyn Bartley. The center stone at Boscowen'un, June 2014.

How can a circle of ancient stones have this kind of impact and influence on me and my life?

This stone circle is unlike most other sacred stone circles in that it has a center stone. This powerful stone is angled and in many ways, appears to be very masculine and phallic, sticking out of the ground in the middle of the feminine circle of stones. I would imagine that most assume that it is masculine. At first, I too made an assumption that it had to be masculine....until recently. Aware of a deep unrest within me, I knew that this conclusion didn't feel right.

from "The Sun and the Serpent" by Paul Broadhurst and Hamish Miller, Mythos, 2013.

As you can see from the picture, the center stone is in alignment with the energy line. One question may be, does the stone align with the flow of the energy line, or is the direction of the energy line created by the stone? Turns out that I am asking the same questions as Paul Broadhurst and Hamish Miller. It was their seminal book, The Sun and the Serpent, that called me to England to walk the Mary Michael Pilgrims Path in the land of my ancestors, and as it turns out, the land of my family, and me.

In The Sun and the Serpent, Paul Broadhurst and Hamish Miller explored and questioned this specific alignment, wondering if it was a natural or intentional occurrence:

According to our observations this stone, erected in the Bronze Age or earlier, actually caused the energy flow to re-orientate or it marked the precise spot where this happened naturally. Either way, this could throw light on the argument that has raged between antiquarians about whether the stone had originally been upright, and subsided, perhaps through excavation, or whether it had been meticulously set at this angle thousands of years ago. It if was raised with this intention, then it must surely mean that there is a long shaft of stone buried beneath the ground in order to counteract natural subsidence.
p. 123

Given that everything about these ancient stone circles is about intention, precision, alignment, balance and sacred connection between the stars, Sun and Earth, I firmly believe that this center stone was intentionally and meticulously set to align with the feminine energy current. This then begs the question about the energy of the stone itself? Is it masculine aligning itself with the feminine as a way of bringing the masculine and feminine together in sacred relationship?

Or, what if the stone actually feminine? So deeply and sacredly, divinely feminine that its truth is hidden in plain sight?

What if it's actually not phallic at all?

What if it's actually vaginal? As in the female genitalia of the Sacred Feminine herself - the clitoris and the vagina, the center and the core of the beautiful feminine, Goddess body, and I will add, the human woman's body too? The clitoris being the exposed tip of the stone, and the vagina buried deep in the earth, synchronistically at a very similar angle to the vagina in a woman's body?

Even Broadhurst and Miller said, "It if was raised with this intention, then it must surely mean that there is a long shaft of stone buried beneath the ground in order to counteract natural subsidence."

Underground lies a massive stone that balances, roots and stabilizes the angled stone in the center of the circle, and toward the center of the Earth? What if the shaft is not phallic at all but a feminine vagina leading to the sacred womb of Mother Earth herself?

WHAT IF THE STONE AT THE CENTER OF BOSCOWEN'UN IS FEMININE?

How does this awareness shift MY - and our - experience of this sacred stone circle, and in turn, of ourselves and our relationship with the Earth, and the Goddess?

I have been distracted for many of these past 18 months in believing that my strength and power lay in my embracing more of my inner masculine energy, and this has only created more of the same.

In waking up to the core as feminine, and even more explicitly, the core as our VAGINA, I find myself excited that the source of my power lies WITHIN me, and I want to surrender to this sacred feminine power that has been within me all along! I want to fling the doors open and dive into Her, and go wherever she wants me to go!

It's just so obvious, and simple.

OUR CORE FEMININE STRENGTH, POWER AND CONNECTION LIES IN OUR VAGINAS.

MY CORE STRENGTH, POWER AND CONNECTION LIES IN MY VAGINA.

The center stone of Boscowen'un demonstrates this to us this truth with its magnificent center stone intentionally set into the earth at a remarkable angle, aligned with the Mary Line. Mistaken as a masculine phallus, this core stone actually mimics the feminine vagina, with the bulk of its shaft anchored deep in the earth. Touching this stone, sitting at its base, leaning our bodies into it, communicating and listening to it, sounding with it - these visceral experiences invite us to breathe into our vaginas, connect with our feminine bodies, and in turn, to embrace the magnificent power of our vaginas - passion, desire, creativity, sexuality, conception, birthing, strength, and to to re-connect with the sacred Feminine and these lost aspects of ourselves.

Prague - An Invitation to Cross the Threshold

12/22/2014

3 Comments

I have just returned home from a 10 day trip to Prague. Steve, Andrew - my oldest son, and I joined my daughter, Alea, who was finishing up her semester abroad study program there. We spent just over a week exploring and experiencing this "Golden City" in the heart of Europe. Ostensibly, this trip was about family, being with our two oldest kids, and exploring a place that we might have never visited except that this is where Alea chose to spend her time abroad studying "Art and Social Change". Together, the four of us together walked many cobbled streets, taken trams and trains, experienced the beauty and history of the buildings and sites, and delighted in the cafes serving excellent coffees and pastries. Yet, whenever I travel, I also ask what is the "other" journey that is going on at the same time. Why else was I going to Prague? What else was going on at the same time as I was walking these cobbled streets and visiting these particular sites? What was the soul gift from this journey and these experiences?

Before leaving for Prague, two resources presented themselves to clue me into the answers to these questions.

The first was receiving the "Libuše, Prophetess of Prague" card from Cheryl Yambrach Rose's beautiful "Art through the Eyes of the Soul" Oracle deck of cards, with its message:

"A New Door is Opening - Step over the Threshold"
Doors open to allow us an opportunity to reach our fullest potential. Do not fear unknown territory.

In the 8th century, the Druid Princess Libuše foresaw Prague in a mystical trance. It is is said this took place on the hill of her castle at Vysehrad, a magical site that has been occupied since 3000 BCE. She saw a castle whose "renown touches the heavens…its boundaries set by the Vltava's waves….in this place would be a man constructing a "prah". This is translated as "threshold", but is also known to be a hollow dug in the center of European cities to connect them to the Otherworld. There would then be a "prah" ritual performed by a Duid priest aligning it to the four directions. This is how Praha/Prague got its name. Libuše began the Premyslid Dyanasty of Czech kings and represents the last of the Celtic matriarchal society.

The second resource was the unusual travel book called A Traveler's Companion to Prague by Jan Kaplan that is a compilation of personal reflections on Prague over many centuries through letters, diaries, memoirs and anecdotes from many different people. This book provided information and insight into Prague that I would not have been aware of from simply reading travel guides.

In the chapter "Early Beginnings", Kaplan shares Prague's early history in tales written by Cosmas, the Canon of Prague in the 11th century, whose writings give us the ancient account of the legends of Libuše. As one of three daughters of the Pagan Bohemian Pince, Krok, Princess Libuše reigned with her consort, Premysl, and the legend says that she received a vision of a town that created the founding of the City of Prague.

Standing on the rock of Vysehrad in the presence of her husband and the elders of her people, and incited by the spirit of prophecy, Libuše uttered this prediction: 'I see a town, the glory of which will reach the starts. There is a spot in the forest, thirty strides from this village, which the River Vltava encircles and which to the north the stream Brusnice secures by its deep valley; and to the south a rocky hill, which from its rocks takes the name Petrin, towers above it..when you have reached the spot you will find a man in the midst of the forest who is working at a door-step for a house. And as even mighty lords bend before a low door, so from this event you shall call the town which you shall build - Praha. THus the proceeded immediately to the ancient forest, and having found the sign which had been given them they built on this site Praha, the mistress of all Bohemia." (p.36)

Bringing together these two resources provided me with a powerful context from which to explore and experience this magical city, whose glory most certainly does "reach the stars." Also, we stayed at a lovely hotel that was located right at the base of the Cathedral and Castle, the site of the Libuše's vision. I could easily and frequently look up to the rocky mount and see the spires of the cathedral as they reached for and touched the sky.

I felt strongly pulled by the legend of Libuše and the site of Vysehrad where she had received her vision. I kept returning to the card and Kaplan's book to re-read the stories about the legends of the origins of Prague. I was also very curious to experience the actual land and magical site where where Libuše received her vision, and to open myself up to the card's invitation to step over a threshold of my own journey. And so it was perfect that we would spend our last day in Prague visiting Vysehrad which in Czech means "the high castle" and served as the place from where the ancient princes ruled the land of Bohemia.

On our last day, Alea, Steve and I set out and headed south to Vysehrad. Andrew had experienced the underground night life of Prague the night before and had only just gotten back to the hotel as we were leaving. It was an especially cold and wintry day as we walked from the Metro stop and entered the gates into Vysehrad. As soon as we got inside of the walls, the place took on another worldly and timely feel. I began to feel as though I had truly entered an "other world". As we walked the quiet streets, I saw many signs of the sacred feminine - rotunda towers, stones marking ley lines, Mary and Child images above doorways and a full sized statue in the famous cemetary, even a vulva shape in a tree. I experienced a soft, protected energy here high up on this rocky outcropping and was very happy to be here.

We walked through the Vysehrad Gardens and found the statue of Libuše with her consort, Premysl, as she received the vision, her hand outstretched to the heavens. I stood before her and gave thanks for her providing me with this invitation to experience Vysehrad and to cross this threshold.

We then walked out to and explored around the top of the wall, overlooking the woods and river to the south. I had misread the map, and thought that the baths where Libuše had supposedly received the vision was over to the south, but I knew something didn't feel right. Why would she receive this vision on the opposite side of the city and the rocky hill where she would site the castle and the Cathedral touching the stars?

I was a little disappointed and confused by this experience, so we continued to walk along the pavement around the top of the wall, coming to the southwest corner. A small vineyard was tucked in next to a building, and as we rounded it, we came into view of the city of Prague to the north, with the Castle and Cathedral in the distance up the river. The energy here opened up and expanded. I felt drawn to this area. I felt enlivened. I took a picture that included another vineyard with the city in the distance. I could feel the creative energies of this spot, and generation of life and nature in the vines, even though they were pruned and prepared for winter. I experienced a vibrancy and aliveness in this area, and when I looked over the vineyard and down hill, I saw the rocky outcropping, the remains of the baths and the ancient castle, and the river down below. I was here a the very place I had been so pulled to come.

I walked over to the outlook, imagined the vision as Libuše saw it, and saw the low clouds quickly moving, seeming as though they were touching the spires of the Cathedral, reminding me of the "glory of which will touch the stars"!

I rooted myself to the core of the Earth in this spot, and reached my energy to the stars, connecting myself like a Tree of Life. I gave thanks for being here, for experiencing the invitation to cross a threshold, and to open to and receive a vision and to bring it forth into reality and form. Nearby, there was a young tree that was hung handmade, simple ornaments made of fruit, bread, toothpicks and thread. So simple, yet it offered a symbol of acknowledgement of the legend of Libuše and my accepting her invitation, and promise of the fruit and gifts to come.

As I walked toward the church, I became aware of the connection of the vision of Prague to this land, this place. The vision needed a place to land, to be received and then to be created and made manifest. It needed a container where it could both be received and take root. Land. Place. Connection to the Earth. The vision and the dream would have remained simply a dream without the land to root it, contain it and give it form.

My awareness expanded into a reflection of my journey over the past five years that has been about finding and connecting to my roots - my physical as well as my spiritual roots, and feeling a sense of belonging. Eighteen months ago, right around the time of the summer Solstice, as I completed the first leg of my Mary Michael pilgrimage, I planted my core tap root into the land of my Cornish Celtic ancestors in the middle of the of the circular Restormel Castle in Lostwithiel, Cornwall, deep into the center of the Earth, to connect with the core crystal at her center. Resonance and relationship with the land and a sense of belonging are so vitally essential to me. Having left my homeland when I was three and grown up in another country and culture from my ancestors, and having learned by necessity how to live without this connection, I have only recently begun to accept the full truth of the necessity of a powerful and intimate relationship to the land, and to the Earth.

I then paused, and realized that just as the vision of Prague was received on this ancient, magical site, it also was received by a woman, a person, a soul, in a body to contain it, communicate it and act on it. She who was willing to be in sacred action in alignment with the sacred vision. The vision of Prague needed a wise and receptive person who was willing and able to hear, see and trust its message, and to understand and resonate with it. A deep and intimate connection to the land along with a woman of trustworthy character and a openness to the sacred and divine. In a heartbeat, I realized that the Sacred communicates through both the land and the stars, Earth and Heaven. We may open our hearts and hands to Heaven to receive from above, and at the same time, we must be rooted and grounded to the Earth to resonate and contain the fullness of the message. It is not either/or but another opportunity of both/and. It is our connection to both the spiritual and the physical, the stars (Heaven) and the Earth that gives us the capacity to hear, see, receive and act on communications from the Divine.

This awareness then spiraled and expanded into an acceptance that I am - and we each - can be the container and receptacle of sacred communications. To be deeply rooted not only to place and land, but also deeply rooted and connected to my body. My body is my Earth, my personal magical, mystical and sacred site, my home, the place to which I always belong. It is the paradox of it is about place, and at the same time, it is not about place. It is about being centered and connected to the physical, the material, in a respectful, accepting, and loving way. Always. I am rooted and belong wherever I am, and wherever I am, I am rooted and belong.

This is the threshold. To come home to my own being and body. To accept with the totality of my being that am home in my body. My soul belongs right here. I am being invited to cross and step over...to come home to my body. To love and celebrate my body. My sensations. My sexuality. My physicalness. My pleasure.

The next step of my path of evolution, creation and transformation is to come home and be deeply rooted in my body. Fully. To release all shame, guilt, resistance and come into full love and acceptance of all of who I am as a soul in a beautiful human body as a woman. Sacred and divine. Sexual and spiritual. Divine and Human. Earth and Heaven. All here, in me, as me, walking on this beautiful planet Earth, whose glory touches and connects with the stars. Heaven on Earth. Right here. In me. As me.

I paused. I took a big deep breath of recognition and acceptance of the fullness of this vision, this invitation and threshold. I said YES. YES. YES.

As I arrived at the Church a few hundred feet away, I was greeted by two of the most beautiful mosaic murals above the two side front doors. They spoke deep into my soul, with their unusual, colorful and golden symbols of trees, spirals, Heaven and Earth, angels, Life and Light. On one level, they spoke to me in a way that confirmed and celebrated my YES. On multidimensional levels, they communicated in a symbolic language that somehow I know provides me with a map of the journey on the other side of the threshold. I have yet to decipher and decode these symbols so that I can use and understand these maps, but I trust that the symbols and images will reveal themselves as and when the time is right. For now, they are calling on me to simply receive them, trust them, and allow them to speak and communicate with me, and to know that I do not have to fear the journey. The way into this unknown territory will be shown to me, and that I will receive guidance and support as I step onto this powerful journey of the Great Mystery and the unknown.

To complete, I will share with you some powerful and wise words that I received in honor of the Solstice from Francis Rico at www.ashamansguide.com:

So – are you ready to step into the Great Mystery?

Stepping off into the wild beauty of flowering Creation need not be daunting. We’ve prayed for this time to come, and we’re all in this together...align with a willingness to accept what Life is offering – with a keen sense of the possibility that Mystery just might offer us a greater opportunity to heal our selves and our world than we have achieved with “mastery.”

This truly is the calling of the Spiral Path. To step over the threshold and leave behind the safety of the closed circle. To step fully into effortless flow of the Spiral. To allow for the mystery of the universe and of Life to guide and carry us forth into a new world, one in which we celebrate all of life, the sexuality and the spiritual, Heaven and Earth - for it is all Beauty, Love and the Divine.

This is the invitation and promise of the Spiral Path. It will guide and provide for you every step of the way. And it will take you home to your Self, and create a world beyond anything you have ever known.

A powerful experience on the day before the Winter Solstice that also happened to be the 28th anniversary of my marriage with Steve. As I walked the land of Vysehrad, I was with Steve and my daughter Alea. They were with me, but also know and love me as to give me space and time for mystical, inner experiences at magical and sacred sites.
Such is the beauty and gifts of these relationships. I am so blessed and grateful.

I love to walk. I love to write.

I am a pilgrim.
I am a Womb Shaman.
I am the Feminine Christ Awakened.
I am becoming the Feminine Christ Embodied.

I walk the sacred spirals of the ancient pilgrimage paths and sacred sites along the "dragon" ley lines of the Earth. I walk local paths. I walk to be in Nature. I walk labyrinths and spirals. I walk to move and celebrate my body. I walk to come home to the truth of who I truly am, to connect with the Earth and Spirit, and to live my life aligned with my soul's path. My intention is to walk In Love, As Love, For Love.

I have led Spiral Path Pilgrimage Walks & Retreats in Cornwall in the very southwest of England.

Mostly, I have been walking the sacred paths of the Womb Spiral - internally and in Penwith, Cornwall. These sacred journeys continue to take me more and more deeply in to the core essence of who I am - as a women and as the embodiment of the Divine Feminine. As I root more deeply into my essence, I have experienced a strength and presence within myself that cultivates a clarity and ferocity that demands a willingness to stand in truth and love. This in and of itself has created a tsunami of change in my life that
