WEEK THREE OF OUR ATLANTIC QUEST:
An island of magic and mystery with a hidden past of epic truths.
I wanted to be the Ice Queen, especially as there were traces of lost civilizations up there on those barren mountains. Ah if only….
To the volcano and back!
On the road to the active volcano in the north.
DAY FIFTEEN:
TUESDAY 7TH NOVEMBER: KRAFLA: THE ACTIVE VOLCANO: The journey to the volcano was amazing, we were so high up and the roads were quiet treacherous in places, with snowy drifts sweeping across the road, making visibility very challenging and disorientating. It was like driving to almost to the top of the world to see this active volcano at Krafla. Also very nearby is an extinct volcano, both very photogenic. This of course all ties in with our research of Earth magnetics, what they are and how they really work with the lava flow, so a chance for some excellent research. We drove a very, very long way through often icy mountain terrain and one had to be very careful, for as we have learnt here in Iceland the weather conditions can turn on a sixpence and one really does need to be home by 4pm – 4:30 at the latest! I took all photos from a moving car as it is not possible to stop in these snowy mountain passes – but i think i am getting much better at it!
Krafla itself is a volcanic caldera of about 10 km in diameter with a 90 km long fissure zone. It is located in the north of Iceland in the Myvatn region and is situated on the Iceland ‘hot spot’ atop the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which forms the divergent boundary between the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate. It’s highest peak reaches up to 818 m and it is 2 km in depth. There have been 29 reported eruptions in recorded history. Iceland is an excellent place to see plate tetonics at work because of it’s placement on the ridges. Krafla includes the crater Viti, which means ‘hell’. As we know, in times past people often thought that hell was to be found under volcanoes. Interestingly Viti has a green lake inside of it; Iceland is full of contrasts and surprises.

DAY SIXTEEN:
WEDNESDAY 8TH NOVEMBER: BLONDUOS KIRKJA AND SURROUNDING AREA:

An early morning start from beautiful Hofsos (click to enlarge)

It was a long journey today to reach our destination, but a stunning drive, again through the most scenic routes one could ever wish for. On the way we stopped at was obviously a well-known tourist area with amazing views, and a mountain top sundial with a couple of stone monuments and a kind of stone cairn. I took photos of the info boards there for you – well and for me too. It was such a stunning area, i am sure there was a much bigger and significant reason for it, but i am yet to discover what it would be.  They were certainly mountaintop memorials, keeping their ‘mark in time’.

.

The area were were in, with our base at Hofsos clearly marked.

            

We had driven all this way to visit Blonduos Kirka, which although seemingly very popular with visitors, it was actually closed. The actual town is split into two parts by the glacial river Blanda, from which it is named (Blondu is an oblique case of Blanda). The old part of town (Icelandic: ‘gamli baerinn’) including many original houses from the late 19th and 20th century.  It was a fairly small town, however it looked like a lot of modernization was going on to make it more of a resort destination, it being ideally situated for that on the coast. We had also come to visit the textile museum there, which Queen Victoria had visited but sadly that was closed also, so i guess we were just out of season. The church itself was a fairly new and modern, rather unusual in shape, and consecrated in 1993 CE. Dr Maggi Jonsson drew and designed it and got her ideas for the layout from the mountains and landscape of the area, and one certainly gets that feel about it. It is situated on a kind of ‘road island‘, with wide open views all around, the area also had restaurants etc, not unlike a motorway pitstop in the uk.

DAY SEVENTEEN:

THURSDAY 9TH NOVEMBER: HOLAR CATHEDRAL AND STANDING STONE: Just a short drive across country, into the mountains, from where we were the at the turf church, is the pretty village of Holar. It was a beautiful bright sunny day, yet very cold. This small village is home to Holar University College, Holar Cathedral and the centre for the history of the Icelandic horse, and the ‘Turf House’. Although the most important feature stands hidden in plain sight and not mentioned.

A stroll around Holar

Hólar Cathedral is the oldest stone church in Iceland, constructed in 1763. The church is built with red sandstone from the mountain Hólabyrða. A number of historically important items are on display at the church, but sadly today it was closed. The church tower is 27m long and stands beside the church. It was constructed in 1950 on the 400-year anniversary of the death of the last Catholic Bishop of Iceland, Jón Arason.

An enigmatic and mysterious ‘Stone of Time’.

 

One of the ‘Stones of Time’  rests at this place and acts as a ‘marker’ for those whom truly know. With a connection to Ireland, Scandinavia, Scotland and England, this stone stands hidden in plain sight…

Karl’s Vid: Holar Cathedral

 

DAY EIGHTEEN:

FRIDAY 10TH NOVEMBER:  HVAMMSTANGAKIRKJA AND SURROUNDING AREA:
Again a beautiful scenic drive through a magical landscape on a bright but cold day.
The church, which again was closed  is the main church of the Hvammstangi parish. The church was inaugurated on the 21st of July, 1957, and was designed by Guðjón Samúelsson. Church builder was Snorri Jóhannesson from Hvammstangi. The church stands on high ground by Kirkjuvegur. The river Syðri-Hvammsá runs south of the church. The water running by was frozen solid, even though fast flowing, so an indication of how cold it was.

We had a stroll around, but sadly the little local craft shop on our itinerary was also closed, but instead we browsed the ‘Seal Centre’ shop and had a nice lunch in the restaurant next door, where Karl discovered a living relative working in the restaurant!

DAY NINETEEN:

SATURDAY 11TH NOVEMBER: REST DAY:

Karl’s Vid: Beautiful Hofsos. Leaving Early!

 

DAY TWENTY:

SUNDAY 12TH NOVEMBER:  VIDIMYRARKIRKJA: A colourful turf church, the current turf church was built in 1834, though the previous church on the site was from 1630 CE.  The church sits on the grounds of a Fortress, from 1620 CE, which one can clearly see by looking around. it was a very cold day and a little overcast but as it was our last full day here, we wanted to make the most of it. We could not get inside but lingered awhile, walking around the little graveyard, taking photos and taking it all in….  The church notice board provides some good extra info.  Unusually the bell was hanging in the entrance gate.

Karl’s Vid: Vidimyrar Church, Varmahlid,

 

FOSSLAUG WATERFALL: It is said that the essence of life flows through this magnificent wonder and i could see why. It was a bit of a walk from the car par, but only a short drive from the turf church. I couldn’t find much info on the waterfall but apparently a thermal bathing pool is nearby, which i did not see at all, but there was more than one approach to the waterfall so maybe we approached from a different direction. It is a spot well known for being peaceful and beautiful and very popular in the summer months with hikers and tourists. It was very icy and cold when we visited yet still very spectacular. However there is much more going on here than meets the eye, especially on a metaphysical level. If one looks around one can see remains of an older civilization, with a stone circle, ‘marked’ stones, and certain stones with a different purpose altogether. Again all hidden in plain sight with everyone simply walking right past. See what you think from the photos….  There is a link here to ‘The Stones of Time‘ on both a metaphysical and an earthly level. Iceland connects to the metaphysical realms in a very important way, yet in a mostly unseen way. My eyes (inner and outer) were certainly shown how to ‘see’ while i was here in Iceland, for it captured my soul and imagination and awakened me further on a Craft level too…

 

DAY TWENTY ONE:

MONDAY 13TH NOVEMBER: LEAVE HOFSOS:
“Fare thee well Hofsos! You were magical and unforgettable. I will miss these stunning views from my bedroom window and being able to look out at the sea of a night time when i cant sleep. This place has etched itself into my being for sure”

It was a wild morning here in Iceland when we left, to be on the road. It’s a long way to the port so having a two night stay elsewhere to break the journey and to be safer on the icy roads, not to have to rush to the port. It was an ominous looking blood red sky as we left Hofsos and an uneasy stillness hung in the air. We were leaving a couple of days early, due to both the emergency situation here in Iceland and because of the weather and icy driving conditions.  Hofsos is a site of strong earth magnetics, which is why we stayed here. The pull of the magnetics at this important earth point have a ‘stilling’ effect on the tides, and one can almost feel it, especially if one is sensitive to earth energies. So much knowledge and understandings gained.  We had a long journey ahead to reach the port, a whole days driving, so decided to stay for two nights near to the port. It was concerning that we could miss the ferry due to the weather, so a risk not worth taking. It turned out to be a very wise decision as the journey was challenging and the mountain pass was down to almost no visibility in places, but we made it, with more adventures along the way….

We were only a couple of miles along the road from Hofsos, when we started seeing what we at first thought were developing snow clouds, only to realize that they were too low for that. They were in fact steam vents that had suddenly come alive, spurting vapours that hung in the air, clinging heavily to the mountain peaks, and definitely not there before…. It was still dawn and they certainly looked very dramatic against the burgeoning sunrise. But the driving conditions were getting bad with the snows scurrying in.

MYVATN GEOTHERMAL AREA: Created 2000 years ago when a series of craters erupted. Now a site where the energy is harnessed and still extremely active. As far as safety goes this day was rather ‘hairy’ to say the lest, which my videos testified too! Especially us dodging the ‘thermals’, we only just made it out in time before they went off! And driving up over the rapidly dissapearing mountain roads – but what a real adventure it was proving to be! I can’t believe now i had all those experiences, it was like watching someone else’s videos! Driving was an adventure to say the lest and hats off to Karl for his safe and careful driving.

 

“We were about to embark upon a rather hazardous journey across an uncompromising mountain pass to reach our two night stop at the horse ranch. Yet little did we know, the weather was about to get much worse….”

STAY AT FINNSTDIR HORSE RANCH: EGLISTADIR: It was a wonderful feeling coming down from the mountain pass into normal weather again!  A two night stay to look forward to, warm and cosy prior to catching the ferry. So very thankful for this stop over!

After the bleakness and invisibility of the mountains i was so pleased to be here at this pretty little ranch
 
Riddle Number Four:
The Cycles in Time….
They bring us back to what once was,
To what now is
And to what will be
Joined by an invisible thread upon the land
A thread cutting through our human cycles of time
The markers upon the earth
The ‘Stones of Time’
But why?
What for?
Who can unravel their mystery?
Who can discover their point and purpose in time?
Who can unlock my Rhyme of Time…?

THE LOST SOULS OF AIRMEN

November 4, 2016

THE PRIORY INVESTIGATES: QUEST NUMBER FOURTEEN

  • RAF UPWOOD: CAMBRIDGESHIRE

So a dark yet mild Friday evening at the end of October 2016, found us on our way to the disused and derelict airfield of RAF Upwood, practically on our doorstep in the Cambridgeshire countryside. It was to prove to be a very interesting night indeed. This is a site used frequently by urban explorers and ghost hunters alike and yet a site which proved initially quite difficult for us to locate. We were seeking the run down living quarters, admin blocks and accomodation of a once thriving community;  a facility for airmen after the wars and, it has been told, a great source of paranormal activity. This site has a direct connection to the first site we visited (Quest Number One) at Spooks Hill, Warboys and is in the general area of Warboys and Ramsey; the sites share the same underground magnetic connections. There is much evidence on the internet and youtube that the site is haunted and we were very excited to be finding out for ourselves.

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

Our ‘satnav’ took us to the general area but did not locate the airfield itself, so seeking another source, we did eventually arrive at the vast open landscape of the dissused airfield. Asking our way of lads nearby, heading also in the same direction, we were advised to go back out onto the road and drive around to the front of the site and yet something told us to keep on. The airfield is a vast, open flat space with only a few flood-lights lighting up industrial buildings on the horizon. It is very dark with large open skies above, yet one can follow a laid down track, maybe a vehical access from many years ago. As we walked across this seemingly endless, dark plain of emptiness a feeling of not being alone, of being watched permeated every pore of our being. As we walked, we passed by long strips of security fences protecting fields of solar panels; the biggest solar panel complex that we had ever seen… The complex was dotted with CTV cameras and sattelite dishes, so obviously we wondered what was going on there.

We did meet others too, again local lads, crouching in the shadows, who also advised we were gong the wrong way, but we just needed to check out further into the distance before coming back. For it was just as well that we did, for on the horizen and coming towards us we spied some bright lights which flashed a couple of times before dissapearing from the sky and out of our sight completely; we all saw them so no one persons over-imagination. We did try and walk towards the bright flood-lights but were met by high security fences with no way in. At that point we did decide to make our way back to the road, but still that sense of not being alone, of being followed and also more of the mysterious lights appeared on the horizon. We were definitely at the wrong part of the airfield but never the less the walk had proved to be very eye-opening indeed with the constant brooding feeling of not being alone still with us.

So back to the main road then as advised where we found the main gateway to the abandoned airfield; sadly high security fencing was all around with security and CCT in action, or so it said on the notices. At this point we did start to wonder how we could gain access, as obviously others before us had certainly done so; the whole area was about to be demolished to make way for new housing so important not to give up. Not to be deterred we got in the car again and started to continue our slow ride around the perrimeter, only to be very surprised moments later when two more young lads dissapeared between the trees and bushes around the perrimiter and were gone – vanished! So we had to follow, as we knew this to be our way in; we parked up next to what was their parked car and followed  their tracks and sure enough, from behind the trees we could indeed walk right in. We never saw sight or sound of the two lads who guided us in, ever again….

Some of the corridors and grafitti at RAF Upwood

 

The whole area is amazing and truly is an urban explorers playground and a ghost hunters’s paradise too, for that matter. Wandering around in the dark, along the long pitch black corridoors of the living quarters, shower blocks and communial rooms, one could not help but wonder at what life would have been like in the heyday of the complex. It is now very eerie with graffiti everywhere, some of which is very beautiful, but one does get a huge sense of lost souls seeking some sort of sollace. The energies constantly changed from hot and cold, of being followed, of whisperings on the steps leading into one of the blocks; to two of our party actually seeing a fleeing male figure right in front of them, which promptly dissapeared into thin air…

Many of our photos revealed unexplained orbs, lights,  figures and other unexplained images…

The whole site is very eerie and yet extremely beautiful to behold and to explore. A dark, ethereal kind of beauty that is soon to be no longer and which does certainly come alive at night; alive with those lost souls of wartime airmen who have their mysterious tales still to tell…

End Oct 2016
