Enduring waves come home to ancient walls.

These ancient walls near Via Aurelia are part of the medieval fortifications of Finalborgo, rebuilt after 1452 to defend the town and its hinterland. They stand by the Ligurian Sea as quiet witnesses to centuries of history.

Sorry we're late

Yesterday, at dawn my partner and I went to the Avebury Stone Circle. Built during the neolithic, Avebury Stone Circle is the largest monument in the world. Settling down under one of the towering sarsen stones I entered meditation for fifteen or twenty minutes. Upon completion I had a thought: my partner was a goddess - and I was a god - and this whole stone circle had been constructed 6000 years ago, just for us, as a temple.

"Sorry we're late," I said.

Beech

Properties: Generosity, nourishment, protection, wisdom, ancient places and knowledge Deities: Cenarius Elements: Earth Guardians: Keepers, Dryads

Some of the first lessons of Cenarius granted to the Kaldorei were written on beech. To this day Druidic incantations are written on thin slices of this wood. Whatever words are inscribed take on the power of the spirits, Wild Gods or the Gods themselves.

Rituals Transcribe your wish or spell on a piece of beech and then bury it. Say a simple prayer as you return the wood to the Earth Mother and then it will manifest.

For so long I had wanted to visit Wistmans Woods. On Dartmoor (National Park, UK) this is one of the last remaining patches of ancient woodland before the land was cleared for agriculture. Old gnarly oaks are huddled stunted together like a moot of elder ents, swathed in mossy beards and clad in lichen patches. If you have the fortune to tread these wild woods, go softly of foot. Piskies and fellow Good Neighbours will remember if you don't!
