Quest 42: ‘Distorting Time – The Clarke Line’
Wednesday 15th April 2026 to Saturday 16th May 2026
30 Night/31 Days

“An amazing journey through time, traveling via road and sea across England, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, and Iceland where reality and illusion sit hand in hand with beauty. (6 Countries in all)”

WEEK ONE: DAY ONE: Wednesday 15/04/26: Leave Cambridge to stay at The Old Dairy in Meersham for 1 Night.

DAY TWO: Thursday 16th April 2026: Leave early for Euro Tunnel to stay at Holzwurm, Germany for one night.

DAY THREE: Friday 17th April 2026: Leave Holzwurm.

‘Traveling through Germany’

“Being on the road for several days and making our way over land and sea to Iceland. We over-nighted in several different countries on the journey. We are in Germany right now, but heading out on the road again soon. We are breaking the journey up today by visiting an ancient stone circle hidden in the rural landscape. Traveling out of a car does come with many challenges so one needs to be very flexible, am quite tired at the mo, yet very exited too and looking forward to the ferry when i shall catch up on that lost sleep…”

Poskaer Stone Circle. Knebel, Denmark: Erected in 3,300 BCE, with 23 large stones around a twenty meter diameter, an extremely old stone circle.  A place used for worship and an ancient temple by the Nordic people. The inner sanctum where the dolmen is would have been the temple with the quadrants aligned. It has 23 large stones around a 20 meter diameter. The stones are on a mound in beautiful countryside and there is also another smaller circle just over the road. A place of pure energy that connects directly into our ‘path of truth’. A place for all weary travelers to rest awhile to be recharged.

Stay Djurs Housing in Denmark for one night.

DAY FOUR:  Saturday 18th April 2026 (my birthday!) Leave Djurs Housing.

“When on the road one suddenly comes across such beauty and tranquillity of our world, such as this here and we are transported out of current time…”

Viborg Cathedral. Viborg. Denmark: A 19th century building with stories of heightened energy and a euphoric state. On Saturday we visited Viborg Cathedral which was stunning and held a few surprises of a Craft nature. Many interesting & symbolic artworks to be seen inside, with stories to tell for those whom can decipher. Note the three serpent representations, very apt for the Serpent Priesthood. The ‘All Seeing Eye’ is 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 false too. We ventured down into the underneath crypt where ancient energies told their own tale….

‘Viborg Cathedral: Full of tales that any ‘Craft’ would appreciate’

Viborg itself was a charming city full of old buildings with lovely individual shops & restaurants. We stayed and wandered for a while and enjoyed a lovely lunch in a restaurant overlooking the main square.

“As in all journeys through life, our Quest journeys constantly give out many challenges in respect of age and mobility, yet with rewards galore. But we have made it to Denmark and will be ready to catch the ferry to Iceland on the 19th. We visited an amazing Viking burial ground today, which covered a huge area of ground and dated from 400-1000CE. The rain held off giving us a chance for a good look around.”

Lindholm Høje stone circle and Viking Graveyard: Nørresundby. Denmark: This Viking Graveyard dating 400 – 1000 CE is an amazing site. It is said that the Jewel of the realms is here. Lindholm Høje (Lindholm Hills, from Old Norse haugr, hill or mound) is a major Viking burial site & former settlement situated to the north of and overlooking the city of Aalborg in Denmark. It dates from 400 – 1000 CE.It is said that the Jewel of the Realms is here… Sadly An unknown number of rocks have been removed from the site over the centuries, many, for example, being broken up in the 19th century for use in road constructions. The Viking Age part of the burial ground has suffered more from this than the older parts. It is a spectacular site non the less, covering a very large area giving insights into what death and burial meant for the Vikings of old.

Tversted Strandpark. Bindslev. Denmark: Stay for one night:

DAY FIVE: Sunday 19th April 2026: Leave Tversted Strandpark to board the Smyril Line to Iceland! 7 hours at sea in luxury cabins! So we have left Denmark and made it safely to the ferry! Now heading out into open waters towards Iceland, for a three night journey onboard, mostly spent in bed asleep on my part!

DAY SIX: Monday 20th April 2026: At sea aboard the Smyril Line! Traversing the ocean towards the Land of Fire & Ice.

DAY SEVEN: Tuesday 21st April 2026: At sea aboard the Smyril Line!

“The Icelandic ferry docks at the Faroe Islands for a few hours and folks can embark for a few hours if they wish, but the views from the ferry are stunning and satisfying and very photogenic. The green roofs seen in the photos are actually grass or turf roofs – very common in these parts!”

 

DAY EIGHT: WEEK TWO: Wednesday 22nd April 2026: Today we arrived in the mystical Land of Fire & Ice where nothing is ever as it seems and myth and reality exist side by side with a little touch of magic thrown in.

‘The first views of Iceland are out of this world’

Fontur Lighthouse. Iceland: We arrived in Iceland safe and sound, ready for an amazing experience. Our very first journey was a long one and quite the adventure, where magic kept time with us all the way. We drove over very rough terrain where the road was almost non existent, to reach the farthest point north where all there was left to see was the North Atlantic Ocean. The farthest northern point of Iceland in fact, where the views onward were simply that of ocean – but even an ocean can throw up a few surprises if one knows what to look for!

Looking back i can’t believe that we did indeed drive all the way to the farthest point north, across terrain that one had to be mad to tackle! We made our way to the Fontur Lighthouse where the only view onward at this point was only sea! Of course a ‘Craft’ site with many a secret or two to behold. The day was one of revelations relating to perceptions of reality and time that challenge all that one has been told about existence upon this earth.

The journey we took straight off the ferry onto the open road, often a very treacherous road to the very northern most point of Iceland where magic and mystery, history and truth revealed themselves to me. Today has been all about Perceptions of Reality and Iceland does indeed challenge and yes, shatter those perceptions. I found this little description on the internet which i edited, but it really gives a very good picture of the remoteness of the area.

‘Fontur Lighthouse is a remote beacon standing on the rugged, windswept cliffs at the very tip of the Langanes Peninsular in northeastern Iceland. It offers a striking “edge-of-the-world” experience, dramatic drop-offs, and spectacular summer seabird colonies, but getting to this isolated spot requires some preparation. Consider the following if you plan to visit: The lighthouse sits at the end of the goose-head shaped Langanes peninsula, about a 55 km drive mostly on rough, gravel roads that almost disappear in places. The gravel roads can be rocky and bumpy. While a standard 2WD can sometimes make the trek in good summer conditions, a 4×4 vehicle is highly recommended to safely navigate the terrain and the final stretch to the trailhead.The peninsula is extremely exposed and very near to the cliff edge. The best and safest time to visit is during the summer months (June to August), when road conditions are clearest and you cancatch the midnight sun’

Stay at Guesthouse Maddy, Húsavík. Iceland: For four nights.

DAY NINE: Thursday 23rd April 2026. A lovely well deserved rest day!

DAY TEN: Friday 24th April 2026: Húsavík: A stroll around the town centre with some window shopping in this lovely place. We stayed here for four nights at a lovely apartment in Húsavík, overlooking the beautiful bay that is surrounded by disappearing misty mountains. It has really been lovely here and i shall be sad to leave. We had one rest day and i for one had a very long rest, but yesterday we had a lovely wander around with  a lovely lunch. It was a bit nippy to say the lest, we had a famous wooden church to visit, on our schedule too. This is also a centre for whale watching and even though i was exhausted it was all very wonderful and fulfilling to be here.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%BAsav%C3%ADk

Húsavík Wooden church: Húsavík, Iceland: Húsavík Church was consecrated in 1907 and stands in the center of Húsavík. The tower of the church is 26 m high and it differs from other churches since there is no ordinary pulpit in it. The church is a magnificent wooden church and icon of the town. Built in 1907, it was reported in 1938 CE, that an apparition occurred of a glowing figure, with the northern lights dancing in the sky above the church. Built on a much older ‘landmark’, and made in a wooden constructions, it sits at the crossroads of this bustling town, which is of no surprise in respect of the  crossroads, connecting to the teachings of the Papa Legba. Sadly the church was not open on the day we visited, but we had a stroll around outside and took some good photos, it is quite a photogenic church with it’s striking colours.

DAY ELEVEN: Saturday 25th April 2026: Grenivíkurkirkja. Grenivík. Iceland: A lovely drive through the stunning Icelandic scenery to the first church of the day, built of timber in 1887 CE, this church is positioned in a place of true spirituality. There were some very symbolic artworks inside, one in particular was extremely interesting from a Craft point of view. A place of true spirituality holding some great secrets to this very day.

Þóroddstaðarkirkja: Poroddstaorak Church: Grenjaðarstaður. Iceland: Renovated in 1922, this current Lutheran church stands on a far older Sacred Site and it  is said that an angel roamed the area. Arriving at this scenic church one can’t help but notice the turf roofed cottages that the church sits opposite of. Turf is a very popular building material used for centuries in Iceland, nowadays too for the more traditional buildings. Today the area with its cottages and museum is now a folk museum and in season, a cafe. Sadly this lovely church had it’s doors firmly closed to us today. It’s a shame, yet some great external pictures were captured.

The church, cemetery and bells

 

Turf cottages and folk museum

 

Scenic views that only the north of Iceland can offer.

DAY TWELVE: Sunday 26th April 2026: Leave Guesthouse Maddy: I was sad to leave this vibrant and welcoming area and will truly miss the views over the bay. But other adventure were waiting…

Kolugljúfur Canyon. Víðidalstunga. Iceland: We drove from Husavik, via Blonduos, where we had visited on a previous quest, stopping for a lovely pizza lunch nearby.

A scenic journey and a pizza lunch!

The canyon was amazing, with great energies from the full force of the water, with spectacular views – A true sight to see in this lifetime. There are so many stunning waterfalls in Iceland but many can not be seen from the road at all, for they are hidden away in dramatic canyons below eye level. The sight that meets one as one approaches on foot is truly stunning. It was quite a cold, windy day and the wind was whipping up the water causing a kind of ethereal veil over the waterfall, making it look quite otherworldly. The Kolugljúfur canyon is about 40-50 meters deep and 1 kilometer long and it is only at a walking distance from the main road so you do not even have to worry about traveling extra to get to the spot. There you will find a group of about 7-8 small waterfall known as Kolufoss waterfall.

The gorge is named after the female giant Kola who is believed to have created the gorge. It is believed that the whole surroundings were shaped by the daily activities of the giantess such as the place she used to sleep at, where she cooked the salmon she caught from the river, etc. The folklore has it that the giantess lived on a ledge on the west side of the gorge and slept there as well. She would throw her bare hands into the river to catch a fish and eat it raw most of the time. Other times she would use the nearby Koluketill (or cauldron) kettle – a hole in the ground with boiling water – to cook her meals.

Stay Vindheimar Cottage. Skeljabrekka. Iceland: A solitary lodge, high up in the mountains with spectacular views over the estuary. The energies and ‘feelings’ of the ‘old world’ and ‘other’ time lines are very strong here.

DAY THIRTEEN: Monday 27th April. 2026: Gerðuberg Cliffs. West Raudhamelur. Iceland:  Uniquely sculptured ‘cliffs’ that are a magnificent insight into the ‘old world’, a world mostly unknown to modern humans. Some regard them as natural, while some say not. If you look in close what do you see? One thing is for sure and that is they are not part of the current human time line. It was a very cold and windy day with biting rain and the ground underfoot was rather boggy, so we stayed as long as we could but getting very near was challenging! However the area was so beautiful in it’s wildness.

Súgandisey Island Lighthouse: Stykkishólmur. Iceland: Built in 1948 on a Basalt Island connected to the mainland. One needs to drive through the town and around the harbor, before climbing up the basalt cliffs. Although there are steep steps to the top of the cliff, there is a rail all the way up to hold on to, which i was very grateful  for. Once at the top one can enjoy the views over the town, harbor and coast. One can visit the lighthouse and walk down to the shore on this side of the island. But the site holds some sinister secrets from times gone by.

The town itself is very charming with some lovely buildings, shops and eateries, we were tempted to stop and have a lovely meal. It was raining outside but we were warm and cozy inside.

Músagjá Rock formations and Stone Bridge. Arnarstapi. Iceland: Pre-world structures that are truly out of the sci-fi books! Músagjá is a remarkable natural feature located along the coastline of Arnarstapi in Iceland. It is renowned for its stunning basalt cliffs and unique rock formations that attract nature enthusiasts and photographers alike. The area provides spectacular views of the sea, often accompanied by sightings of seabirds and marine wildlife. Visitors can enjoy scenic walks along the cliffs, making it an ideal spot for exploring the rugged beauty of Iceland’s southern coast. This geological wonder represents the powerful forces of nature, sculpting the landscape over millennia. On the day we visited the weather was just about as wild and wet as it could possibly be. So much so that visibility was seriously impaired and it took us all our time and perseverance to simply get out of the car and walk to one of the viewing platforms. I could barley hold my camera and had to grab on to Karl for dear life. The views were certainly stunning, even a little scary in these high winds!

There is also the iconic stone statue here that depicts Bárðar saga Snæfellsáss the legendary, half-human, half-troll protector of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Erected in 1985 and crafted by sculptor Ragnar Kjartansson, the 6-meter-tall monument is a striking landmark built directly from stacked stones. Based on the 14th-century Bárðar saga Snæfellsáss, Bárður was the region’s first settler. After a bitter family feud, he exiled himself to the nearby Snæfellsjökull glacier. According to local folklore, he did not die but instead transformed into a benevolent nature spirit and guardian deity. For centuries, locals have petitioned him in times of need.

DAY FOURTEEN: Tuesday 28th April 2026: Basilika Krists konungs. Cathedral of Christ the King. Reykjavík. Iceland: So today was time for a city day as we left the beauty and wildness of Iceland alone for a while. The sole Catholic cathedral in Iceland was a small chapel in 1864, then renovated and extended, completing 1929. It was a great experience being here and being part of the calm energy of pure love that exudes from the cathedral. It is a beautiful building with some amazing artworks inside, both paintings and sculptors, many of a symbolic Craft nature.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_the_King_Cathedral_(Reykjav%C3%ADk)

 

FlyOver Iceland.Reykjavík. Iceland: A popular simulator experience that really has the wow factor. Sadly no photography is allowed but one can find videos on the web of the whole experience on the ride, which does tilt and move around with sensory elements to it. One appears to be flying over Iceland in the very sky, swooping up and down from the clouds, through waterfalls and over cliffs etc with actual spray in one’s face. One really gets a sense of being in the air as the ride swoops and falls over mesmerizing scenery.

Hallgrimskirkja. Reykjavík. Iceland: The largest church in Iceland taking 41 years to build, starting in 1945, then completed in 1986. Sadly the church was closed to the general public as a funeral was taking place so no visitors were allowed in. The church was packed, for it was the funeral of a well known Icelandic singer. The church can be seen in my photos below.

Laugavegur. The Rainbow Street. The Main shopping street in Reykjavík and one of the oldest. This is a bustling pedestrian friendly downtown street full of high end boutiques and local design. It is very well know and a magnate for photographers and shoppers alike. It is situated at the historic heart of the capitals commercial district. Full of energy and lined with bright unusual buildings, street art and cozy cafes and one cannot forget the famous ‘Rainbow Street’.

End of week two! 
It has been amazing so far and with so much more to come….

THE NORDIC CALL: WEEK THREE:

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.

The church and the journey back to Hofsos.

 

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: The Standing Stone of Time

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…?

QUEST 38: NORDIC CALL: WEEK ONE.

“This long awaited for quest, was finally upon us and it seemed like a dream that we were actually off to Iceland , that magical land of fire and ice, myth and reality. Little did i know what an impact Iceland would have on my life, upon my soul and on my personal Grail Quest and of how much i would discover there and that the ‘Stones of Time’ awaited me…

So tomorrow we are off on Quest 39, traveling by land and sea to Iceland where i am sure many adventures and experiences await, usually of a more metaphysical nature too. But before that, we reach Germany in a couple of days.
As you realize by now, these Quests have a serious side to them, not only a learning curve for me, but relevant in a much wider sense, not only of Craft but generally from an earthly aspect too. It is a greatly humbling to be, not only known as a true knight, but to know i live and breathe as one too.
It’s not what you see but what you don’t see, for when you stop seeing the mundane, your eyes will truly open….

 

DAY ONE:

TUESDAY 24TH OCTOBER 2023: Stay near Felixstowe at Trimley St Mary, in readiness to board the Stena Line ferry the next morning

DAY TWO:

WEDESDAY 25TH OCTOBER: Boarding the ferry for the Hook of Holland, for a voyage of nearly eight hours, then a road trip of three and a half hours to take us through to Germany, for a two night stay at Sogel.

DAY THREE:

THURSDAY: 26TH OCTOBER: WERPELOH STONE CIRCLE: STEINKREIS: For me this was one of the highlights of the Quest and very important to the quests as a whole, as to my own understanding of the reality of this realm. It is said to be an active ‘void’ on the earth, if only one can awaken it with maybe the the correct sequences? What a day in Germany it proved to be, achieving a good degree of knowledge and insight at this incredibly powerful stone circle. The circle contains one of the ‘serpent gates’ upon the earth. It is said that the actual physical circle is not that ancient, but whether it is or not, the site is ancient. The thing to remember, like the churches we visit, it is not the physical reality of what is now upon the sites we visit, but the reason for the sites in the first place. It all connects to the ‘unseen‘, to the metaphysical, the churches, buildings, stones etc are often known as ‘Markers in Time’

Let me take you around this stone circle…

Take a tour around the circle with Karl

 

ST JODOCUS CHURCH: KIRCHSTRABE: A short drive away through some pretty countryside and we arrived at our next destination in Borger Germany, an attractive red-bricked church which looked even prettier with it’s backdrop of autumn leaves. In the middle of the town but with much of interest to see. The church was very well looked after, very quite though. St Jodocus, commonly called Giguel, was the eldest son Juthael, whom became king of Brittany in the year 630 CE. To the eagle eyed there was much Templar and/or Craft detail to see in the church.

A very quick tour around St Jodocus Church

It turned out to be a quiet day today, we chilled out after our quest wanderings in a charming, little vintage cafe and florists in Solgel, minutes away from where we are staying for these two nights. Espresso, Americano and delicious cake. No cake for me though, but i still love to look! Tomorrow will be a very long drive for a one night stay in Denmark ready to catch the ferry to Iceland on Saturday 28th October. I can’t believe it!

 

 

DAY FOUR:

FRIDAY 27TH OCTOBER: Leave Sogel in Germany for a one night stay in Danmarksgade, Denmark, in readiness to catch the ferry from Hirtshalls, in the morning.

DAY FIVE:

SATURDAY 28TH OCTOBER: Leave Danmarksgade for Hitshalls to catch the ferry to Iceland. Board the Smyril Line ferry for a four night ocean voyage to Iceland. Two luxury Nordic cabins. Stopping off at the Faroe Islands. Sadly i was sea-sick during the voyage but had my lovely cabin to cozy-up in. The facilities on-board were amazing but sadly i did not get to enjoy them!

At sea with me – come join me!

DAY SIX:

SUNDAY29th OCTOBER: On board the Ferry.

DAY SEVEN:

MONDAY 30th OCTOBER:  On board the Ferry

 

The Faroe Islands on the way to Iceland. So stunning, out of this world beautiful with a few surprises  too.

 

Just as we were leaving the Faroe Islands, i witnessed an amazing site in the ocean. I was just sitting on my cabin’s window seat admiring the beautiful view, as we sailed through the islands, when something unusual in the water caught my eye. Low and behold! There before me was one of those strange and amazing magnetic circles of still water, surrounded by moving waves; a circle that no other wave could cross. It looked so strange and amazing, defying reality in fact; a still circle surrounded by waves, but seeing is believing. This type of thing is caused by the earth magnetics, and these magnetics  cause so much more than folks ever realize or are ever told about. Over the coming weeks i would see and experience many similar things and learn that Iceland is a country of strong and strange magnetic occurences.

And with all this water around a riddle sprang to mind:

“Tumbling down over rocks and streams

Living in truth or living in dreams

Clinging to non, always finding my level

I am always contained by an earthly vessel”

“So the Icelandic journey begins on day eight as we set ashore on an adventure of a life time!”
