FROM HEATWAVES TO THUNDERSTORMS…

What a spring and summer it has been, travel, injuries, deep thinking, too hot to bop and in the end cooling rain and thunder 

April 2026: We made it to Iceland which you can read about on my quest pages. The time spent traveling there and back bought forth lots of profound thoughts and experiences that have stayed with me since. Traveling always brings forth many aspects of a Craft nature, interesting & symbolic artworks to be seen inside historic buildings, with stories to tell for those whom can decipher. Representations of the Serpent Priesthood, all there for those who can ‘see’.  The ‘All Seeing Eye’ too, depicted as being ‘up on high’ or in the sky & is sometimes known as the ‘eye in the sky’. Of course this is all symbology that relates to something else, something that has been hidden in ‘plain sight’ for centuries. If you know the answer you will also know the recent ‘trip to the moon’ to be so false… All seasons and all weathers were experienced on this trip – the wonder and magic of the land of Fire and Ice.

In photography, it’s not about perfection at all, it’s about raw emotion, how the photograph make one ‘feel’.  That’s why this is my favorite photograph taken for a long time. Snapped in an instant from a moving car.

 

I have been saying this for years. Time to open your doors of perception.

May 18th 2026: I am still in a lot of pain, so phoning my friend the chiropractor. Thank goodness for Amazon when one is injured! Thank goodness i have an appointment with my chiropractor friend on Thursday. The pain has been intense. But I will have some quiet days to recover with time to think.

May 25th 2026: I don’t mind recovering in this weather, far too hot to venture out,  i would be staying indoors anyway, seeking the ‘Ice Queen’ within….. Not really myself yet. Seeing a ‘physo’ at my docs next week. Lots of lovely Quest photos to browse through though.

June 1st 2026:  Thinking about dragons and a long forgotten truth…  What if the stories of the past were based on something real… and what if what we’re told today is only part of the picture? Long forgotten kin that once lived outside of our dreams. Ancient legends describe dragons with wings, scales, and terrifying power. Modern museums display giant creatures from a forgotten world. Coincidence, imagination, or fragments of a much older memory? See my sleeping dragon below….

 

 

June 2nd 2026: We are all individuals and must be accepted as such. The physio program was meant to build my muscles but did not work for me! They did not work, for they addressed the symptoms and mot the cause. The good news is I am slowly recovering.

June 16th 2026:  A wandering mind travels to realms of darkness, escaping the heat…

June 27th 2026: Missing the days when i could walk for miles & miles. Don’t take anything for granted dear friends.

June 29th 2026: There’s a much greater game afoot.  Manipulation by media….

July 1st 2026: A ‘Craft’ day was planned but dear Karl took one look at my garden yesterday and was like a man on a mission to clear it all, even before he had a coffee! What a lovely gesture and i cannot thank him enough!  It is worth bearing in mind that he is very poorly himself. A true brother of Craft in every way.

July 4th 2026: Lightheartedness;  I found the cure for my low mood & depression – the new Take That single! Brilliant & cured me in an instant!

July 5th 2026: Many thoughts take me back in time to the decade of the 60’s in Cambridge for a mention of Waffles cafe came up on FB.  I loved Waffles, it was very retro even in the 1960’s and always an ‘in’ place to hide out. Sadly demolished for The Grafton Centre, now on its own way out…

July 7th 2026: I keep well away from politics, religion & trends. All controlling, all fake, all purposeful – don’t be fooled my friends… In life i adhere to the Templar code, a code that goes back to the beginning of time itself. We can’t change the ‘bigger picture’ but we can make sure our own part in it is positive.

July 9th 2026: It really is too hot for anything apart from sprawling on the bed with the fan on! But so grateful for my life and for being alive…

July 18th 2026: I am so happy to say i am getting better – i still can’t walk far but i am not in pain anymore – very happy!

July 28th 2026: Just watched a black squirrel on my patio, twas like a stunning creature from another realm. very ‘otherworldly

July 30th 2026:  There comes a point when the sun is not ‘fun’ anymore as we glimpse into a future world. A world far nearer than we think…

Rain! What a gorgeous and precious scent!

August 5th 2026:  I stepped out of the illusion and entered into the truth. Who is willing to join me?

August 6th 2026: Not many folks are willing, or even brave enough, to step out of the illusion to see our reality for the fake it actually is. It’s not about what you see but what you don’t see…

August 7th 2026:

They laughed at the lies
Were blind to the illusion
Ego led and dead….

August 9th 2026:  Sadly another week of horrendous heat & staying indoors. Keep cool and safe everyone.

August 21st 2026:  Letting go of items that bind one to the illusionary world is an important part of a Craft journey.

When the truth is revealed to a curious mind.
When the adventure keeps going with still plenty to find.
With a parting of ways of what was once cozy
Saying goodbye to what was once rosy
It is not love and light that will lead us all home
But a path of detachment for a freedom to roam..

 

Eras come & go & with them certain ways of life & living. Nothing last forever. I silently watch & witness the fading of this era….

 

I drift upon the tides of time awaiting the coolness of the ice to take me home..<

 

August 29th 2026:

It came in time to rescue us all, beautiful rain a precious wonder,
Punctuated by strikes of lightning & thunder.
We sang and we danced in the cool of the day
But we forgot water wins and has its way…

Quest 42: DISTORTING TIME – THE CLARKE LINE. WEEK THREE

Filed under: The Quests — Leave a comment

WEEK THREE OF DISTORTING TIME:

       

 

DAY FIFTEEN: WEDNESDAY 29TH APRIL: Berg Church. Kleppjárnsreykir. Iceland: In times of old, prior to the church itself, there was a Sacred Circle on this very spot. It was a miserable and rainy old day when we visited and sadly there was not really anything left on this site to see, nothing physical that is. It can be sad that nothing stays the same, one era a sacred circle, another era an old tin church, yet it is the ‘energies’ that remain and await our visit…

Deildartunguhver Natural Springs: Reykholt. Iceland: To witness the power of this natural landscape, with all the dangers it encompasses, is truly a power to behold. Beauty and danger, dark and light all at once. The hot bubbling springs gushed forth sprays of boiling water and steam, just look at that temperature! No wonder it is all railed off for safety! The power of nature is truly on show here in Iceland. Amazingly a fern grows here, the only place in Iceland for this particular plant.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deildartunguhver

Barnafoss Waterfall. Möðruvallavegur. Iceland: A stunning waterfall with tales told of two boys being held by magic, before falling to their deaths. An amazing and powerfully energetic site. Hidden from view below road level in a picturesque gorge, it is a very popular attraction. Full of many wonders alongside the traveling waters, it exists as a pure memory of times past. You can read more about the waterfall and it’s mythology here below:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnafossar

 

DAY SIXTEEN: THURSDAY 30TH APRIL: Selfosskirkja Church. Selfoss, Iceland: This beautiful church at Selfoss is located next to the river Olfusa, at the entrance to Selfoss. When you pass over the bridge you can see this charming Lutheran church, that was completed in 1956 CE. This church is built upon an energy line, sitting on the surface of this ancient energy line, this church screams out with such beauty for to see.Inside there were quality artworks and artifacts with Craft connections.
Town Centre Shops and Eateries. Selfoss. Iceland:  We enjoyed a lovely snack and coffee here and explored this very charming town.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selfoss_(town)

 

Kerid Crater. Natural Formation. Klausturholar. Iceland: The lake occupies a volcanic crater formed circa 4,000 BC & is very reachable by foot. Once there one can walk right to the top, to the very edge and even walk all the way around. It is quite a climb and i went much higher than i expected too! It is thought to be a volcanic crater, but maybe it has a secret or two….

DAY SEVENTEEN: FRIDAY MARCH 1ST: Grindavíkurkirkja eldri church. Grindavík. Iceland: Built in 1887 on ground that shall have significant purpose in time to come, without any local realization. a true space of reality. The reality of how a community was damaged by the lava flow, yet is able and willing to rebuild itself. The Church land in particular shall have great significance in the years that are to follow. It was closed but we had a nice wander around outside and could see where the regeneration was happening. Lots of landscaping was going on with the pleasant addition of some natural rocks. But i was a bit confused when i did my research for this page as there are two churches there, a much older one called ‘Grindavik Eldri’, this one here seems to be much newer. Maybe they were near each other? But i am sure we were at the one we needed to be at though.

 

Café Bryggjan. Cafe. Grindavík. Iceland: A nice spot of lunch and coffee with a well deserved rest. Taking it all in, in and around Grindavik. The often stark landscape, the harbor, the lava fields so recently on fire, the cafe and all the new developments. As always click on all photos to enlarge…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grindav%C3%ADk

 

 

Hrafn. Sveinbjarnarson III. Ship Wreck. Grindavik. Iceland: Interesting old shipwreck with information with regard to others. The Hrafn Sveinbjarnarson III Ship Wreck near Grindavik is a haunting yet beautiful historical site that offers a glimpse into Iceland’s maritime past. This fascinating landmark is perfect for history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike, providing breathtaking coastal views and an unforgettable experience.

Þórkötlustaðahverfi. Old Ruin. Grindavik. Iceland: Old ruin with links to Hofsos and an energy line that runs through this area. Discover the rich historical tapestry of Þórkötlustaðahverfi, a captivating landmark in Grindavik, Iceland. This site offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the country’s cultural heritage and stunning landscapes that attract tourists from across the earth.

Ship wrecks monument. Historic monument. Grindavík. Iceland: Historic monument remembering those whom the sea has taken. There are many shipwrecks on this penisular and the amazing  bright orange Hopsnes Lighthouse stands firm and proud looking over the sea, like a mighty guardian. The area is old and very beautiful.

We drove out through this whole area with it’s vast lava fields where the scale of the destruction is quite humbling and overwhelming from a human perspective. There are several shipwrecks along this coast from times past when the seas were wild and dangerous. Some historic ruins and monuments too telling ‘tales’ of older times’ when the world was vastly different. I could not access all the sites myself but Karl was able to for purposes of Craft. Photogenic shots in a barren landscape, reminding us all that water always wins – even in a lava field….

 

 

DAY EIGHTEEN: SATURDAY MARCH 2ND: A well earned rest day! A ‘sleep day’ for me, although i did wander around and took these stunning views from the window of our mountainside lodge – who wouldn’t want this for 10 days!

 

 

DAY NINETEEN: SUNDAY MARCH 3RD: Viking World Museum. Njarðvík. Iceland: History in the making and at it’s finest with some great Craft connections here too. The ship here is original and actually sailed all the way across the ocean to America.

 

 

Valahnúkamöl: Rocks of the Ocean. Iceland: The most south-western tip of Reykjanes peninsula, considered to be the most scenic landscapes in the area. Beautiful energies there with stunning ocean views with cliffs, caves and the pebble-strewn black beach. It is a spectacular 420 metre-long boulder beach and rugged coastal ridge shaped by intense volcanic activity and the raw power of the North Atlantic, its striking features and dramatic seascapes make it a breathtaking geological wonder.

Reykjanes Lighthouse: Keflavík. Iceland: The oldest lighthouse in Iceland. Built in 1908, to replace an earlier original lighthouse that was destroyed by an earthquake in 1886 CE.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reykjanesviti

The oldest lighthouse & surrounding countryside. Almost everywhere one travels to in Iceland there is steam gushing out of the ground, proving how dangerous and unstable the land is there…

Stampar. Small Craters. Iceland: A series of small craters that resemble some off world places. A lovely visit though to this  ‘out of this world place’. A very energetic and challenging area all at the same. Hard to walk round but i had a little wander about. One gets a sense of what would have been. Two volcanic fissures lie from the sea onto land on the western side of Reykjanes and form this series of craters. These crater series have been named Stampar. The crater series are from two periods.  The older formed in an eruption from a fissure that was just under 4 km long around 1,800 to 2,000 years ago. It’s a very barren landscape as one would expect.

 

DAY TWENTY: MONDAY MARCH 4TH: Four Standing Stones. Njarðvík. Iceland:  The tales that these stones could tell, standing on the ridge of Time itself. These Four Standing Stones in Njarðvík (Reykjanesbær) are part of the local Sagnatröllin (Trolls) outdoor stone art collection created by artist Aki Granz. These sculptures blend regional folklore with landscape markers. They are built using local stones sourced from Helguvík and designed to preserve local place names, folklore, and troll/elf-related oral histories of the Reykjanesbær region.
“If only two of these four stones could speak the words of the ancient world, such a delight would unfold before all…”

 

The Icelandic Museum of Rock and Roll. Njarðvík. Iceland: A spot of lunch and coffee at a nearby bakery before our visit to this unique museum with interactive exhibits showcasing the history of pop & rock music in Iceland.

Keflavíkurkirkja Church: Keflavík. Iceland: Built in 1914. The area had the Iceland Nava Air Station during 2nd  World War,  decommissioned in September 2006. Sadly shut to us today but we had a good wander around outside and then down to the beautiful shore line where they were some more of the ‘standing stones’ artworks and other points of interest to see.

 

DAY TWENTYONE: TUESDAY 5TH MARCH: Leave Vindheimar Cottage: So today was the sad day we had to leave our cabin on the mountainside, but we sure had many good memories to look back on, some of the mundane world yet many of the ancient and (to many) supernatural and ancients worlds….

Karlsminni Stone Circle: Þorlákshöfn. Iceland  Built in 2004 on the site of ancient ritual practices. Karlsminni is a public outdoor artwork and circle located just outside of Þorlákshöfn on the south coast of Iceland, built in collaboration with landscape architect Johannes Matthiessen, it honors musician Karl Jóhann Sighvatsson.
An interesting modern circle built with plenty of energy, on an ancient site. The stones have representations of what we know as the zodiac signs on them, while some of them have beautiful spirals reminiscent of sea fossils. In the centre is an image on the ground, of a human figure, ‘The Memory of Man’ (Karlsminni), this red figure, when viewed from above, and its stone circle stand out boldly against the raw volcanic terrain of Iceland. 

 

Reynisfjara Beach. Iceland: Basalt formations and ancient cliff tops that illustrate the ‘old world’ with its ‘old’ technology. Great basalt formations here with deep high caves, and a surprise look at something similar to Pan, swimming on his back in the ocean…

 A spectacular journey through stunning scenery right through to the end of the day….

 

End of week three: A one night stay at Hrifunes Nature Park. Iceland: A one night stay at the very top of the mountains where reality folded and shifted before one’s very eyes….. (Craft eyes of course)
