It is with Knightly honour that we are empowered to have great knowledge from within & without. With such knowledge comes power, a power that is naturally produced & requires no additional influences to achieve great things. Power is not about the control of others, it is about harnessing the inner strength & full understanding of one's purpose in this particular existence, such truth that can only be realised at a knightly levelWEEK 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.

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:

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…

Hrafn. Sveinbjarnarson III. Ship Wreck. Grindavik. Iceland: Interesting old shipwreck with information with regard to others.

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.
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.
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.
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….
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….
