Spring & Summer Musings…

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…

MIDWINTER MUSINGS….

Filed under: Mysterious Craft Musings — Leave a comment
January 10, 2026

29th September 2025

Lots of traveling, especially in non-tourist areas of other lands, leads to lots of revelations on other cultures and of how they all view us, for looks and chance remarks tells all. But no matter, for travel and what is discovered while traveling is enriching for the soul. Seeing the landscape through newly awakened eyes shows me more than any history book or the misinformation taught in schools ever could. As they say, seeing is believing and not all is what it seems in this world of ours. Once one sees though this great illusion there is no going back and one’s personal world changes for ever, for the truth is there for all to see -just look ‘between the lines’….

5th October 2025

The rural are we stayed in, in Poland is full of roadside devotional shrines dedicated to the virgin Mary and adored with colored streamers or ribbons as an extra sign of devotion. These shrines are placed at crossroads and dangerous corners. Some of them are almost like a small building in themselves. While they all look very pretty, it shows that religion is very much a sign of control over the people and this certainly proves it – seems like humans will do any thing to have their sins absolved and get to heaven!

6th October 2025

It is so unnecessary to be mean mouthed towards others. Even if one does not agree with someone, every one ‘should’ have a right to their own views so please quietly  respect the views of others. And those who spout off their views – please be quiet too! One realizes that the views and opinions of humans are all open to interpretation depending on which side of the fence one is on – but that very ‘fence’ is transient and changes greatly and frequently throughout history. Just like borders and labels – all very much ‘man-made’ and open to interpretation. All there in order to keep the human-race under control and believe me their are other ‘powers’ in this reality that will just be laughing and rubbing their hands in glee at the silly antics of humans….

 

11th October 2025

We always have supernatural/metaphysical encounters while on a Quest, all part of the learning curve, one in particular this time round proved many things first hand to me about other beings and entities upon this planet. Life is all about learning and experiencing and all other life forms are to be greatly respected.  But on a mundane level I am really missing good quality real English crisps! Note to self – take plant next time!

2oth October 2025
“Happy in my own skin.
Happy to be me.
Life’s been a journey.
I have come a long way
Embracing this chapter”

 

23rd October 2025

Am safely home with much to process of a Craft nature with lots to think about. My garden looks pretty and welcoming, full of golden leaves and shimmering, and my home is a welcoming haven of peace for me. Sophia is well and was well looked after, but still does not use the cat flap to come inside. I think she will miss Evie the cat lady. Lots of photos and memories to absorb and share and  many adventures to tell… A good time time to embrace the restful energies of autumn before the annual sensory onslaught of all that is fake in this realm.

 

4th November 2025

It seems i have not been the only one to suffer a bad reaction from this years flu vaccination. It was a horrible week last week for me, which was mostly spent in bed feeling dizzy and sleepy, but am almost better now and endeavoring to get on with my life, while wondering what on earth goes into all these man-made vaccinations. I won’t have the covid one at all.

 

8th November 2025

Many fireworks are still going off this eve, but have you noticed how the sound is hollow and echoes downward rather than dissipating into the ether?

It is almost as if we live under a vast hollow dome……

Funny that…..

 

10th November

Being our authentic selves is something that we hear a lot about and after this very sad year for me it is indeed something i would love to achieve. Despite a few health issues i am trying to get out and about in the world to have a few lovely experiences now and again.

I decided to go into town for some needed errands etc and dug out some of my old black and purple velvet! I am so astonished with the reaction from folks for i have never had so many compliments from complete strangers in my whole life, the ladies in Lush were swooning, blowing away the old adage of seniors being invisible! There is a poem somewhere about getting old and wearing purple, proved true now! I must wear it more…..

 

22nd November

Getting bored with all the fakeness of AI but making up for it by playing some of my late son’s amazing vinyl collection.

 

7th December 2025

I was really tired and had to go back to bed to sleep. Well, i had a very deep and meaningful dream with a powerful message contained within. I know to pay attention to my dreams and the messages they hold for me. Sometimes the messages are subliminal, sometimes not, this one was not, this one was shouting at me full throttle! It is time to wake up, time to smell the roses, taste the coffee, watch for the Watchers, for they are always there watching your every move, recording your every deed and knowing your every name – yet it is entirely up to you whether you choose to see them or not…. They come and go in a blink or an eye, so dare ye not blink least you see them not.

 

12th December 2025

It’s ok to believe in a fantasy, just as long as you realize the truth…

 

13th December 2025

Solitary times. Inward thoughts of paths not trod. Guided by my dreams…

Meeting at the crossroads. Twixt this world & the next. Time fades into irrelevance…

 

15th December

It can take a lifetime to know who you really are. Unexplained memories often surface which you know are not of current life times. Feelings one can’t explain that are always with you, wanting to ‘go home’, but where is home? Knowing things that no one has told you, living in a different time and space to one’s peers… I could go on but it takes just one simple turn of the wheel and the answer is clear and has been there all along ❤ (Inspired by Karl’s visit)

 

15th December

The world we live in and the lives we live are never what they seem to be, for it is all an illusion, yet one can open one’s eyes and simply allow the illusion to slip away. One of the biggest illusions is of course so called christmas & all of it’s well-worn trimmings. Sadly though an illusion that most folks cannot let go of, yet once one does, one is free for evermore…

 

21st December 2025

A time to remember
Those journeying souls whom chose to wander
Who’s great adventure has just begun
Time to reflect on a time and a space
When all our journeys will end in grace
A time to know with love to send
A time to acknowledge we shall meet again.
(in memory of my bright star)

 

22nd December 2025

The Trail of Truth: If one wanted to discover the truth of why an event that never ever happened on the 25th December is celebrated so insanely by the christian faith, one could do no better than visit the recently uncovered Mithras Temple in the very heart of London. Hidden way underground it is well worth an eye opening visit. But one still needs to travel further back in time for Mithras was mythology too….

 

 

26th December 2025

Sometimes something happens that totally changes one’s perception of life on earth, that totally changes one’s view of everything one thought one knew to be true, turning history totally one it’s head… that is what happened today!
On another note my fairy lights around my bed head came on and they were not plugged in; surely a message there…..
1st January 2026
It’s never too late to take a big step out of the illusion…..
Acceptance is what i learnt from 2025
Acceptance of an individual’s choice.
Accepted with love.

 

6th January 2026

Nice to know that the frozen flooded fenland fields have attracted the fen skaters again this year for a few short days.

 

9th January 2026

Looking back over the last quest and all the memories and insights provided, one is reminded that life is indeed a journey of both positive and negative and negative experiences of which must can be learned from, indeed must be learned from. Each country traveled through is a huge learning curve, and indeed travel itself is a learning process of it’s own, one that Karl (Neville) and myself are constantly honing in on, for being on the road is an art in it’s self.

Each country and city has it’s good and bad, positive and negative, yet often open to opinion of an individual’s personal taste. Ancient sites, vast bustling cities, rural backwaters with cultures and true histories to experience. Secrets hidden beneath our feet for thousands of years often reveal themselves to the eyes of a Craft while on a Quest.

AUTUMN MUSINGS…

Filed under: Mysterious Craft Musings — Leave a comment
October 4, 2025

11th September

One wonders just how far the human race will go (or have left) Probably no where near as long as folks think.
One can certainly see that the ‘experiment’ is failing – as it has so many times before.
Humanity has had so many chances to put things right and learn from it’s many mistakes but sadly that is not to be.
When i leave i shall certainly look forward to pastures new and new realms to explore and of course i shall take all my wisdom and knowledge with me for i was well taught…

 

13th September

Autumn has long been my favorite season, due to the change in earth energies that i find so invigorating. I love to discover how other countries tune in to Autumn too.

This photo is from a village memorial in Germany in the autumn time.

 

13th September

Viewing the world through ‘different’ eyes, one easily sees all the human flaws being played out over and over again, over many earth cycles and ‘so called’ new beginnings that never seem to amount to anything. I could go on and on but i think you all get the gist.

I jumped out of the illusion many years ago now, but sometimes it’s fun to still play the ‘game’…

 

15th September

Within the Serpent Path i tread
A truth resides, not in my head
I remember a time when dragons flew
Above my head in skies so blue
Oh how i love to remember so
Of all these things i knew, and know….

 

20th September

Blood is the essence of life.
Guard it with your own life lest others steal it away…

 

20th September

Am getting ready for another great adventure where i will be going to places way off the tourist trail, via many roads less traveled.
It just goes to show that what ever one’s age or physical abilities, where there is life there is always hope and adventure.

 

22nd September

There are many things that tie humans to the earthly plane (the mundane) so considering we live in an illusion, one can see how important it is not to get seduced by the illusion.
The illusion is so potent that when one perceives one is out of the illusion, it may be too late for what is perceived of as truth is yet another illusion – like a ‘false awakening’ in a dream…
Yet it is all meant to be, humanity has always been kept purposefully in the dark, and this current cycle more so than ever.
Differences, labels, separations, religions etc all keep us apart and by the time humans realize how important it is to ‘pull together’, it may be too late…

 

23rd September

Almost all ready and packed for another epic trip! Even though all food and clothes for a whole month away can be challenging i am getting an old hand at it now. Looking forward to more amazing views and experiences to come my way!

 

25th September

Lots of traveling, especially in non-tourist areas leads to lots of revelations on other cultures and of how they view us (from the uk). Looks, glances and chance remarks tells all. But no matter for travel and what is discovered while traveling is enriching for the soul. Seeing the landscape through newly awakened eyes shows me more than any history book or the misinformation taught in schools. As they say seeing is believing and not all is what it seems in this world of ours. Once one sees though this illusion there is no going back and one’s personal world changes for ever, for the truth is there for all to see -just look ‘between the lines’….

 

30th September

As a Craft person and Templar, one often needs to take a step back and accept that certain knowledge and truths will never be available to most humans. Many various ‘internet warriors’ do enjoy spouting off their ‘opinions’ as the truth, but opinions are just that, one person’s opinion and when folks loudly proclaim something i know to be entirely false, there is only one thing to do – just delete them. They will never see the truths of our existence as it really is, and has been taught to me as a Craft, and of course maybe were never meant to. Of course anyone has the right and ability to learn the truths for them selves if they so wish to and would only open their minds and see…. (of course Craft teachings are available to those whom wish it)

SUMMER MUSINGS….

Filed under: Mysterious Craft Musings — Leave a comment
September 23, 2025

6th August 2025

The interesting aspect of living in this mundane world is that not everyone realizes it, therefore it tends to trap folks well and truly in it’s grip, forever pulling folks down. The trick is to be able to rise above the pull of the mundane. Everything going on in the world today is of the mundane and is all an illusion, break the illusion and one breaks the pull of the mundane.
This is one of the teachings of the Craft/Templar path, it teaches one how to step out of the mundane; to rise above it. The mundane world is all about control, all religions are about control, pulling the blindfolds down, keeping folks in forever darkness. Even the more so-called enlightened paths all teach their own form of control and misinformation. In the degree of The Magi, we learn about rising above the ‘roar of the crowd’, which is all about rising above the mundane. Humanity will never learn and never break free of it’s bonds while still attached to the mundane, and yet cycle after cycle nothing changes and those who do speak the truth are often ridiculed and these days charged with crime, again all about control. They say the truth will set you free but at what cost, sadly though not everyone wants the truth, maybe just the brave amongst us.
There have always been teachers, observers and watchers amongst us hiding in plain site, just ready for a chance to share the truths….
Eyes once opened will never close again.

 

12th August

Have just re-updated week three of our last quest, as noticed i had cut short the days! So we now have a full week loaded with lots of extra photos!
It had been a very busy third week and what an amazing week of contrasts it was, from the glitz and the glamour to the ancient and profound, to the decaying and derelict. Yet they all have one thing in common, all are part of a larger puzzle that tell a tale of truth and illusion, all have that important connection to Craft.
14th August
Out of the corner of one’s eyes is perceived a flicker, a movement, a figure maybe?
Someone is watching, waiting, observing, seeing all, telling all….

Sometimes in the blink of an eye, a wanderer appears and is then gone….

 

17th August
Dusty halls and musty books
Curled up in a hidden nook
Spinning dreams within my mind
Visions of another time
Lingering perfumes, unknown scents
Demon formed or heaven sent?
In the corner a silver cobweb
Waits to cover my shrouded bed
Petals dried lie on the floor
A portent of a world no more
A book that crumbles in my grasp
That told me of my time, my past
So hidden in my sacred nook
I crumble like this dusty book….
17th August
I don’t mind saying that i am so bored with all this summer heat and having to stay inside all the time. There were things i wanted to do and go to, but i just can’t take the heat in any shape or form.
True i have had time to catch up with my writings, photo editing and online teachings, but i long for the autumn and winter and to be able to go out and about again. Also it has ruined my fitness plans, being so inactive.
Roll on dark nights and cool days!
17th August

On a positive note, being stuck indoors has given me plenty of time to re-evaluate my life and pinpoint what is important to me, and to embrace my future journey in this current life of mine. I have thought a lot about my path and how it is the most important aspect of my life. I have thought about the falseness of our reality and my ability through Craft, to rise above it all; to embrace the game….
