Winged Messengers

MESSENGERS OF THE GODS

The Pigeon was once held in high esteem by royalty and the gentry alike. Along with Ravens, Swallows and Falcons, the Pigeon was trained to send messages between cities, specialising in long distances up to 1800 miles away!

In battle, pigeons had to endure the dangers of being intercepted and killed. Pigeons were treated well and bred to be the fastest of the winged messengers – until telecommunications were first established in the 1800's and telephones reduced the need for pigeons as messengers of secret information shortly after the Second World War.

Pigeons were noted heros of WW1 & WW2, saving thousands of lives. Below are a few of those honoured:

Cher Ami – Delivered 12 important messages in World War I, completing her final mission despite being shot. She saved 200 men by getting their desperate message through.

GI Joe – Flew 20 miles in 20 minutes to deliver a message that prevented an Allied bombing of an Italian town occupied by British troops in WWII.

Mary of Exeter – The first pigeon to deliver news of the D-Day invasion successes during WWII.

Pigeons are noble creatures found in abundance all around the world, particularly of note to be found at Buddhist, Egyptian and other major temples, also located around areas of significant beauty and architectural heritage. The morphic resonant field of the species will be connected to a vast amount of information. Because they have coexisted with humans for millennia and for important Shamanic work, the pigeon as a useful ally, guide and power animal, can bring great benefits for divination and healing.

Spiritually and divinely connected, these gentle animals can be approached with acceptance, by exhibiting the energies of trust, tranquillity and openness.

Messengers
Pigeons being utilised as messengers and as good luck totems and pets date back thousands of years.
Notable periods in our timeline are listed below:

3000BC
Thought to be the first domesticated animal, pigeons have been depicted in cave paintings, rock carvings both in the Britain Isles and all over Europe, plus carved in stone and wood as figurines created by ancient civilisations all around the world. Despite falconry being the bird of choice in early cultures, preserved examples of ceramic artworks from Mesopotamia show pigeons with royal connections.

1150BC
The first known use of pigeons originated from Egypt. Homing pigeons were also used in the Middle East for trade between nations and for announcing the arrival of dignitaries in foreign shores.

776 BC
Pigeons were used to deliver results for the Ancient Olympic Games in Greece. White doves (a cousin of the pigeon), are still released at the start of the Olympic Games today.

330BC
Early expeditions by Greeks to the British Isles (formerly known as Albion, Cymru and Hebredia), reveal Galician/Gaul and Celtic roots, of which the earliest traces of these peoples (also linked to the Picts of Scotia) are claimed to be from pre-3000BC times, with much debate about the origins of Ayan and Atlantean migrations stemming out of Britain, rather than to these lands, mostly led by these priest-class peoples with super human psychic abilities. The pigeon was said to be a carrier of information – a direct link to the divine!

The pigeon has many significant meanings for Celtic/Irish and Germanic tribal cultures. 

Celts saw a connection between the Pigeon and other dimensions. When a person died and a relative heard the Pigeon’s call, this was a sign of a peaceful passing. German artists sometimes portrayed the Goddess Nantosuelta as ruler of the Underworld with a Pigeon peering over her shoulder.

Pigeon appearances could signify many things. For example, when a Pigeon nested near your home, it would mean a peaceful environment filled with harmony. Seeing a Pigeon at a wedding acts as a positive omen of devotion. Pigeons, like Penguins, are known to retain the same partners for life – although there appears to be a strong lure for pigeons to have multiple sexual partners and from personal observations, it doesn't seem to matter what sex the pigeon is! 

Pigeons appear to be both intelligent and complex creatures – much like humans.

Circa 300 BC
The Romans used pigeons for military purposes and to carry market news. 

400-1000s
Early scripture (recreated in book form by monks), reveals the biblical story of Noah, as the bird sent to find land during the time of the deluge. The white dove returning with an olive branch signifies the emblem of peace.

1560
Mughal Ruler Akbah The Great was a great lover of pigeons for their agility and beauty, breeding a flock of some 10,000 that spent much of his time with, to escape the pressures of ruling an empire. His birds travelled wherever he went.

1600s
Pigeon droppings (saltpetre) was a valuable commodity used for fertiliser and also were the main source of gunpowder (likely another reason for Akbah's flock size and would have been a source of gunpowder dating back to ancient Chinese civilisations too). The breeding of pigeons for their nitrates-rich acidity as well as the explosive capabilities, meant pigeon breeding spread all around the planet.

1760-1820
The Rothschild dynasty was established with links from major banking hubs of Frankfurt, Vienna, Paris, Naples and London. The Rothshild family used Pigeons to send important trade pricing information and to gain an advantage in investment banking. Most famously in 1820, they achieved the greatest success, by shorting the currency under deceptive means, but with the actual defeat of Napoleon and victory over the French, the banking family were able to deceive other British traders to amass a fortune in devalued stock, by getting news of the defeat to Rothshild investors via exress carrier pigeons!

Late 1800s
Telegraph networks spread globally and the arrival of rail transportation diminished the need for pigeons.

Early 1900s
Telephone services start to become common modes of communication and with 

Post WWII 1940s-50s
Radios and motor vehicles are widely available. Pigeons were released back into the wild, returning to military bases and although neglected, have stayed in proximity to humans around the world ever since.

Forgotten Masters of Communication
The domesticated pigeons have been mostly been left to fend for themselves. After multiple generations of breeding, it's said that pigeons have lost the ability to fend for themselves in natural settings, taking up home in the dirty cities instead.

Pigeons are very protective of their home and once they have set themselves up in a location from birth, this will be their place of return and the place their offspring will return to generation after generation.

Late 20th – 21st century
Today we see pigeons in our cities, scratching around for scraps of food, unable to roost where spikes have been installed, shooed away and treated badly by city-dwellers as vermin 'rats of the sky' or dirty pests.

There are many types of pigeons which have been bred over the centuries. With more than 300 species of doves and pigeons claimed by the International Ornithological Committee. The pigeon most commonly found in urban environments is known as the rock dove, rock pigeon or common pigeon. Its binomial name is Columba livia. 

Through DNA testing, there are still pigeons to be found of the original genus that can be located roosting in craggy cliffs today.

Pigeon Symbolism
Throughout time, the pigeon has been closely related to humans and has deeper meanings for all religions, especially Christianity, Hinduism, Greek and Native Americans. Symbolising peace, serenity, courage, resilience, and fertility. Birds are often symbolised as both fighters and protectors, which the Aztec symbol above seems to encapsulate in both qualities. 

The huge presence of pigeons in both urban and natural environments is a reminder of how interconnected with the world these birds are. Aligned with the messenger Mercury, having a greater affinity with pigeons allows closer contact between us and the higher realms. Below are a few of the most significant mentions of pigeon symbolism through the ages:

Sumerians
The Sumerian goddess Ishtar was often portrayed with a pigeon, relating the bird to concepts of grace, tenderness, and elegance, as well as fertility, maternity, and femininity.

Phoenician
Astarte, a Phoenician goddess worshipped as a beautiful deity, was highly related to pigeons which were an embodiment of motherhood, fertility, love, and passion.

Egyptian
Pigeons were held in such high regard that they associated them with life, longevity, and virginity.

Greek And Roman
Both the Greeks and the Romans depicted pigeons with heavenly figures like Aphrodite, believing that pigeons brought fortune and favourable luck.

Hindu
Hindi traditions identify pigeons with Yama, the god of death, not necessarily as a bad omen but as a symbol of hope and transformation.

Chinese
In China, pigeons are related to the concept of the yin and yang energy which is a depiction of transition, life, and balance.

Islam
In Islam, pigeons are known as ‘Prophet’s birds’. Muslims also believe that if anyone serves any animal, he will be rewarded. So, the Muslims show a soft corner for animals, including pigeons. 

Native American
For the Native Americans, the pigeon has a variety of meanings. For example, in Lakota culture, the pigeon symbolises peace and harmony, which explains their presence at many spiritual ceremonies that date back to ancient times.

In Native American mythology, doves and pigeons also have a range of diverse functions. Pigeon feathers were frequently carried by war chiefs as talismans to aid them in bringing their warriors home safely because the Blackfoot tribe connected the dove with protection and a safe return from combat.

Christian
Christians consider these birds as kind and loyal messengers. They are believed to be carriers of joyful and hopeful information, as well as kindness, mercy, and peace.

Celtic
In Celtic culture, the pigeon is a symbol of good fortune. This belief comes from how the bird could fly between earth and sky, making communication possible with both realms simultaneously.

Final Fun Fact...
Pigeons have been used in multiple ways, including to smuggle cigars our of Cuba and to deliver drugs.
Spy pigeons have been used on the opposition since at least 1908 when a German pharmacist by the name of Julius Neubronner devised a way to capture photographs.

This bonkers website claims the British secret services copied Reagan era CIA surveillance techniques to devise ways of bioengineering pigeons to transmit high-def images and footage directly from pigeons' eyes. If the claims are true and the birds aren't being used for nefarious spying, maybe we'll see a return of pigeons being revered once again! 😂

Dream Diary – Journeying Pathways

ASTRAL JOURNEYS

Taking regular looks at the dreams to find meanings has been a good way for me to connect with the subconscious before. Now embarking on the Pathways Journey, I seem to be having dreams that connect with strong forces, animals, events and symbolic images of change...

Dream Diary
What follows are a few of the significant dreams experienced and remembered by taking notes immediately upon waking.

Big black barking dog: 2nd June 2025
Woke to the memory of a big barking doberman. He was going for me and I couldn’t stop him, nor did I get afraid of his barks right in my face – even when they came very close. Someone came and took the dog away. I did not react and remained in control throughout.

> What is this dream? Is it the blood vessel health issue I need to get looked at is it a marker that I am not easily frightened any more by the energies that control the dreams?

Going For A New Job: 30th May 2025
I was wearing my blue bed/yoga shorts, a vest top over a shirt and Cathy’s plastic frilly-topped ankle socks. It was my friend’s daughter, Hazel (studying psychology at Uni), employing me and the receptionist went to get her. She was worried I’d get ridiculed. 

I said I’d thrown away all my socks. It was 20 to 9 so there was time still to get clothing before I started work. We went on Oxford Street and I tried to get clothing, darting around the shops. There were multiple stairways in the cluttered shops which were very difficult to pass. I found myself in an electronics shop which also sold t-shirts and classic music albums. I got distracted from my clothes quest and bought another T-shirt. The escalator nearby openned and had no door to protect from the shaft and it was in a void, accelerating past the floor I wanted, up to the top of the skyscraper above the clouds! I looked out and felt vertigo looking over the ground so far below, imagining free-falling for a moment, brought a sense of falling. Then it was a race to get back again which created a sense of urgency. I woke feeling stressed.
> What is this dream? Accessing new powers I have not (yet) mastered and not ready for?

Break-In: 15th May
I was at a house / flat, which I owned and rented. The number of the flat was 24. There was someone walking around outside advertising a lost key. I opened the door to the neighbour’s place and went in. Checking the house for intruders and worried my bag with laptops in them had been taken. 

Someone was in the bathroom. I had that feeling of hairs on the back of the neck fear. I was about to hit them with a piece of wood but managed to stop in time. It was one of the lodgers. I went upstairs and exited into a large open shopping centre. There were many escalators that were confusing going to new floors. I was able to jump around and land on the various escalators to get on different floors. I Itried to come back. I woke feeling frustrated and like I'd lost something.

>What is this dream? Is this telling me I'm in the wrong place, or afraid of losing what I am, what I hold on to and trying to navigate the Astral realms without knowing where I'm going?

Freelance Job: 6th June 
Working at an agency as a freelancer. Had finished my work and was ready to go. The employer said I could leave and not come in again. I wasn't needed anymore.

Two girls turned up and wanted a coffee which I said I’d make for them. I can remember the faces and eyes of the girls clearly. One was Scandinavian-looking with very clear light blue eyes. She was patient waiting for the coffee but I couldn’t find the right cafetière. 

The two girls were getting ready for a works dinner party. I remember bringing the coffee to the girl who was in the bath. There was some brief nudity but no embarrassment from her.

I helped her to put on a tight dress, very futuristic-looking dress with padded seams in green. I had to do up a fiddly neck fastener which required dexterity and focus. She was sitting on my lap with her hair up and I could feel the warmth fresh from the bath and the scent of freshly washed skin. The other girl was opposite and had make-up freckles on her cheeks with green dyed cropped and wavy/curly hair. Like in dreaded or tightly curled braids. I was having trouble with the neck fastener. Next, my hands are around the girls waist and I’m in an embrace, with my head resting on her neck. Nurturing sensations, not sexual, as my hands were being held. I felt tired but also comforted. I can still feel the warmth of her neck and remember her eyes. I’ve never met these two girls before but there is a familiarity of face to a sound healer I know from one sound experience three years ago where I was mostly blindfolded the entire time.

>What is this dream? Not even sure what this dream means. I’ve been missing regular work and regular life. Not much nurture or sensual touch. Missing the innocent connection of intimacy. I can still feel warmth in my hands from the tender touch and woke with sensations of being in the embrace.

Cruise liner - 7th June
Putting myself forward as the main  events organiser responsible for decisions about which package was best for an event on a ship, I’d organised a suited ball with budget worked out to have meals and drinks and with a few options of ships, taken advice about which ship was best for the job. I was on an Island on the beach, perhaps Thailand. One ship was recommended to me as being most reliable option out of the three. It had an English crew and the guy advising was a gangster type. He seemed to know with confidence these guys were less likely to rip us off - there’d been problems with pirates.

Suddenly I’m at the ship and helping my partner get ready into a black trouser suit. My long time ago ex girlfriend was there - someone I’d not thought of in 30 years! She was being looked after by me also and assuring me I’d get things that she’d promised before and not delivered on. 

The boat was being hijacked before we’d gotten on board, but We were on a platform still tethered to the boat. I used the rope/chain and pulled the platform back towards the ship arm over arm until back at the side of the ship, shouting to the people on the about 7 million bond to return the ship and their share of the money to return the ship. I awoke. 

>What is this dream? Responsibility perhaps, with big plans, overseas, organising a major event for big money? Having the connection to a journey with others, that required the skill, ability and know how, to bring us on the journey, but not quite on the vehicle for the journey jet as I woke. Part 2 to come?!?

Coach journey - 8th June
Lots of dreams in and out of disrupted sleep. Main dream was packing bags for a coach trip and a snowboarding holiday (which I’d looked at yesterday). I was putting the bags under the coach and Cathy’s best clothes were on the outside, most likely to get dirty - as I’d already seen the dirt from the road had got on the blue leggings.
> What was this about? Travel and adventure? With concerns about the way we were preparing for the journey.

Small head on the ground – 9th June
Weird dreams that I can put down to perhaps watching a small French Bulldog with it’s ball and more connections to travel and adventure.

I dreamt of a half head, just the top of the head and the forehead, moving around the ground – as if the main body is submerged in a lower level with just the top of the head – the 7th chakra – showing iteself. A lower octave of myself, perhaps (except this head had hair).The head was being shoed by my foot to go where I wanted it to go.

The next part of the dream I was transported to a building with a room leading onto a roof that had been left empty with just wires – like what could be behind a stud wall. The outer sliding door led to a rooftop where there were security guards. I toyed with trying to mingle and be one of the guards undetected – then woke up.

At the end of the dream, my inner vision activated in a way that I had clarity of vision – a computer screen with information I struggled to read. I felt like I was having a premonition or a vision – but unable to focus on the details without popping back into real space and the eyes in darkness behind closed lids.
> > What is this dream? Fist steps towards second sight? Access to other places and worlds that are guarded? 

Balloon rescue - 11th June

I’m listening to a recovery broadcast with a scene witnessed of a hero parachuting a small boat onto the top of a snared IONOSPHERIC high altitude balloon. The person reports via radio he has successfully landed in a pool where the balloon has been snared at the top pool of water on what must be a cliff or an atmospheric reservoir. 

Moments after the mission has been received as a success. The parachute holding the boat, falls into the water and is dragged over the edge, along with the boat and it falls the very long distance 100’s of feet into another small pool below.

The boat upside down, part sunk and the body of the man are seen floating in the pool. 

> What does this dream mean? Unknown what significance this has to me. The balloon looks like the type Richard Branson used for high altitude records. I was able to replay this scene over and over. It felt like a hero’s quest going wrong. A misfortune. Perhaps it is signalling me to be cautious about taking a big risk or a journey and not being aware of the dangers. Or thinking I have accomplished something but not considered the next steps carefully enough. 

Flowers draw - 13th June

Weird dream of flowers in a drawer. Woke with just the opening and closing of draws with flowers in. 

>What does this dream mean? Perhaps revealing hidden treasures or love contained and concealed. 

Business proposition 14th June

I was selling an idea to the company where I worked. It a place where I used to work. Called ID. I wasn’t doing much work as a designer. I told everyone that I cared about the company and I had a proposition. I wanted everyone to have an opportunity to take profit share from business won. For example £20k would be earned if we knew someone who would be a good introduction and potential £200k earning - 10% would go to the one who brought it in.

Then I was teaching sound therapy to someone as part of a training program that I was running. I was explaining the sound therapy in circle of 5ths. Starting at the feet or at the root chakra, I showed how the notes corresponded to D being the balance and how we can play with these sounds. 

> What is this dream? I was writing the documents for a sound academy training proposal we are creating for a business. It was a reminder to continue and use the information from the dream to make money. Perhaps £20k is coming?!

Pelllet gum brochure - 15th June

I was working on making a brochure for a print firm.wasn’t sure of the deadline. Then I was outside with the brochure and had to go under a shelter as heavy rain came. I was queuing to get into a place with a thin ledge to navigate. Felt the sense of danger and slippery ledge. Next I’m in a room with an arcade machine where there are kids playing in a shooting game. A person at the other side of the cabinet was shooting at them when they learned out - a real game within a game?

Next I’m walking and an Indian girl I think I recognise, but she’s normally got glasses on? Stops me, gives me a hug and asks If I’m alright. I ask her the same and she says ‘look at you’ pointing to my swollen stomach. ‘I’m eating well I say’ looking down at my stomach. Then I’m leaving the arcade room ascending up a blacked out corridor. A man is descending with an old fashioned rifle pointing in front of him. I get the sense of fear, he turns and fires at my leg, which fills like the sting of a nerf gun. There’s a splattered lead pellet stuck on my inner thigh which I inspect. 

Next I’m standing between cars and a small child pops out from under the tyre well and startles me. Another girl with very pretty face but long thin androgynous body appears. There’s a discussion with her mother about her having both genitals of male and female.

>What is this dream about? It’s odd to see so many faces and I can still see these people clearly. The fear of falling, not getting a job completed in time seem to be about money and moving out. The shooting and conceded girl are likely about my health relating to where I was shot at. 

18th June

First I’m at a hotel with Bianca and a massive rain cloud with big winds coming. I get back to hotel just as rain starts and get extra umbrellas to take out to Bianca and two other girls I know. I give one umbrella to others and they drop the umbrella. I open one for Bianca. Pick up other umbrella it’s one of the massive square canopies like the one in Ibiza retreat that’s got a metal arm - the wind picks up and I’m flying high in the sky. I land on hotel roof. Bianca asks if I want livener before going. Saying getting 2 as I know that’s needed for next day. 

Next thing playing computer games with David at my mum and dad’s in living room with the old red deep wool carpet. Michael Willet comes In from News Int. he says there’s bad news. I can’t quit the scrolling shooter game and ask brother. It looks like a new phone I’m on. 

On the house phone in mum and dad’s kitchen. The Times newspaper with a screen showing ancient wall of a place in Israel or Jordan with red and orange crumbling brickwork. There’s Latin type on the image that shouldn’t be there. A mistake! Also the image has dark patches where looks dirty or bad scan. My eyes are going in and out of focus - like a sharpen filter in photoshop. I can’t recall working on it. There is a second image also with mistakes. I’m in trouble - they are pulling the ads. 

It’s looking like more text that shouldn’t be there. I offer to lower my rate to keep in work. 

 Seems to be about compromising. Taking a hit and regrouping for a future opportunity perhaps?

18 June – Maddie’s Necklace

Maddie was in my dream. I’d gotten into bed with her and was undoing her necklace. I’d been holding hands and another person came in and saw us. I was topping and tailing. Feeling tired, I slipped in and out of sleep. Maddie broke wind twice and I tried not to laugh. I helped to put the necklace back on but it had a fiddly clasp - I can remember the silver charms on the bracelet. 

Haunted house with two short people on the table. Lights not working. Josie there and getting seats out of the way for a car to park inside. 

What does this dream mean? Tricky one - am I travelling in my sleep to other people's beds? Maybe I'M the ghost...

1st July 2.30am Monks on skidos

Out on a walk with a guy doing a talk on insects, using a robot who was attached to him using a special harness. The legs of robot were stuck on extend and he had to get the robot’s brain waves cut off so the legs would bend. The robot was thought to be dead but it was not. 

I was asking about Olivia a previous girlfriend who had died from ovarian cancer (she’s alive in reality), but they didn’t want to tell me while I was with her. She was in a film I showed a friend doing the face swap VR thing. She looked beautiful. They were saying she’s taller than me. I thought I might be shrinking.

The walk was on snow and I had to race back and get my shoes as I was barefoot. There were American style cowboy police Marshall’s everywhere and I had to pass people. My friend sim was there and a guy urinating, who nearly sprayed on us as he brought something up to his mouth.

There was a bit of anger and pushing around - I was in a brief fight - worrying about my front teeth from being punched. 

There were people playing American football, the ball was thrown over a bridge into the lake where it bounced off of a stone. I needed to get it. I also had to get past the sheriffs without being stopped. The robot demonstration was moving farther away, I was going to lose them.

Now I’m racing down a mountain, following a Buddhist monk with a dog running in front on near vertical slopes, riding on a skido. The monk is free falling at points, carefully bringing the skido back to make contact with the mountain sides.

I’m on a bike. I reach a river at low tide and ask how the river bed is, I’m jumping down to get on the sea bed and pass the monk. The monk says much later, 25th Jan.

>What is this dream about?

Seems like there’s connections to mountains and water with technology and being masterful with getting to the place at the right time. The date of 25th Jan sits with plans to be in Thailand on a retreat with Buddhist monks! The date is added to my diary.

1st/2nd July 4.15am Festival space

A group of young men creating a large tent and living space, like a leather or suede dwelling about 40ft long. The guys drinking Stella at the end looking at the other pitches which are vans and selling crap. It’s a festival and we go for food - a burger van. 

Money is mentioned to extend the project. A level of engineering skill. We are planning on digging down to make more fancy living space.

> What is this dream? I've been looking at hiring a large tent for an event in late July. 

6th July spider skeleton

Woke to a focussed close up image of a dark brown translucent black spider hanging from a thread. It’s legs were curled up and it was an empty shell. That was it. 

>What does this dream mean? Empty spider’s skin is an empty house. It’s telling me to empty the house. We need to move. 

The Modalities Of Healing

HEALING BALANCE

The Buddhists call enlightenment 'The Middle Way'. This can be interpreted to be living from the heart or it can be an aspiration to stay centred and balanced in thought and action – linked to the forces of electromagnetism.

Father Sky & Mother Earth
We can see embodied in nature, where the plants are cycling the energies of the sun, the air and via regeneration through the earth. The same methods of regeneration can be observed and experienced in the body. Grounding.

When we are connected to the ground and surrounded by the frequencies of life in nature, we can resonate with and align our cycles with nature. The very air we breathe is alive with lifeforce energy and the sunlight we receive through the eyes and skin is vibrating at the frequencies we need to sustain life.

Thinking, Being & Knowing
There are multiple ways to benefit from healing and for the best pathways to success, the process is to first know from our deeper all-knowing existence as a being of the earth, coupled with the energy of unconditional love being our emotional connection to activate healing pathways, with knowledge gained through empirical experiences, plus data analysed, books written and read and true scientific methods applied for logical understanding.

Essentially, the belief system will steer us on a healing path and with the loving grace to guide, nurture and support us, we can heal, be healed and with the energies restored, heal others through our methods learned.

Ancient Knowledge
Science today is reminding us of the knowledge which the ancients held and knew to be true. The values of science and the need to be proven right, means that science is paradoxically steadfast in its findings until a new theory comes along, which then shatters the previous scientific dogmas. Max Plank, originator of the quantum theory in physics, has said, 'Science makes progress funeral by funeral: the old are never converted by the new doctrines, they simply are replaced by a new generation'. This can derail us from doing what needs to be done!

Taking Action
The Chinese have traditionally held a pragmatic attitude towards healing using energy flow. The Tibetans, Vedics, Celts, Chaldeans, Shamen, Levites, Tribal medicine men and women – all have understood that Qi, Prana, Odic force, Orgone, biogenesis or creative energy is the lifeforce that binds us. Nature and the way of nature is the correct way of life, which contains the spirit in which all is contained and part of.

With application of healing and connection to energetic, spiritual healing, the most important factor to consider is about using what works and considering what is obvious to the human senses, rather than getting caught up in the theory. 

There is an enlightening Buddhist parable about a man who is shot with an arrow. The doctor comes along, but before the doctor removes the arrow, the man wants to know, “Who shot the arrow? What is the arrow made of? Where was it shot from?” Altogether, the doctor is asked more than a hundred questions. The Buddha says, “This man will die before the arrow is removed.” The expedient and intelligent thing to do is to remove the arrow. Theory can come later.

When we put our trust in the body's ability to heal and allow the 'magic' of healing to take place, the balance is restored.

Healing Is Connected To Energy Flow & Balance
Proper nutrition, movement, energy harnessing and mindset – all applied correctly to prevent disease and for restoring health, which are the pathways to healing.

The Mysteries Of Time

LEGENDS & LORE

When diligently uncovering information about historical data, the fact-checking process can present more questions to us than can be easily answered with a certain degree of accuracy. Such is the dilemma of history.

Like healing, history is an 'artistry' – with imagination and daring-do being the requirements for driving the historian – a useful adept for revealing life's mysteries, who is willing to turn over rocks, and whence finding new life which cannot be found under any other rocks, – not deterred from turning over another...

Usually, the gifted historian will have flair and eloquence for sharing their version of historical 'facts', but that doesn't mean the historian will have their truths revealed. Only those in favour will have their voices heard. The famous saying' Winners write the history books', has plenty of truth. For sure, it helps to have a royal connection or to be a recognised courtier, a scribe or a leading member of the church. The history we have today is by those who were allowed to be heard.

The King James' Bible has been referenced as one of the truthful versions for historical information, but there are many other researchers and books from Gnostic sources, from Chaldean, Nazarene and Essene periods of history that tell conflicting stories. 

Journey Form The NIle
The Nag Hammadi discoveries and relics found from pre-roman times, reveal Christianity existed in England before the Romans arrived and there are stories being told about Jesus visiting Wales on his travels after surviving a faked death (with herbs issued by the prostitutes to feign death and be revived again for his miraculous escape). 

The Arc of the Covenant (an energy power source stolen from sarcophagus in the King's Chamber of the great Egyptian pyramids), is claimed to be held at the Lady Mary of Zion Church in Ethiopia, or moved to Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland or now buried in Wales near the 'Lion Rock of Judea' – all depending on which 'scholar' we choose to believe. There are various other 'histories' of Jesus (Yeshua Ben Joseph) being born approximately. 1400 years before, the son of an Egyptian Pharaoh – according to super scholar Michael Tsarion (video above). Perhaps there are many of the Christ Mind as there are many of the Buddha, and multiple versions of King Arthur (main image).

And here we have arrived at the shortest route to the answer about History. It's the version you choose to believe in. 

What follows below are some musings on what history 'is' and some examples about how opinions and perspectives can layer on top of poor foundations, to create a false version of history. It's a fun exercise to look at the different perspectives, the conflicting time lines and crazy stories we may have missed in school!

I particularly like this version below about English & British & Welsh history – as it relates to the stars and what can only be some kind of 'time travelling' (or existing outside of time), extra-terrrestial, or higher intelligence 'watcher', that knows the workings of this realm better than we ever could know.

Recent Historical Events
Those who are already awakened to alternative versions of history and know how easy perceptions can be influenced through the media and understand how our nature to be socially complicit, allows for lies to become truths, can look at recent historical events – and know the Truth, which is completely different to what Wikipedia and the mainstream news tells us. 

In this fascinating talk on YouTube about a polarising topic– we see how two completely opposing realities of history AND current perceptions ongoing, can exist concurrently (trigger alert). Both versions can be (in their minds) proven conclusively and yet not proven conclusively. This is also how the law works and why case law is used to present 'fact' when creating a new case. It is, unfortunately, how the world works, which allows for perversions, inversions and corruptions of Truth. 

History Is HIS story
Or Her story: C V Wedgwood – a well respected historian, who specialised in 1700s British history, sums up modern history so well with the words 'When a new discipline and technique of Historical research were turned on the variously agreed fables, which had served men for several generations, these fables naturally disintegrated, they were replaced by new, better and more truthful fables, but by further argument, – History like other forms of art, had entered a period o abstraction'.

Like Wedgewood and historians before and since, we find new techniques, methods and trains of thought leading us down garden paths, into warrens of deep rabbit holes. British History or the United Kingdom, made up of the Countries England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland – is just the badges used to describe one period of time under different land owners, Barons and Kings – who have named the lands.

What I will attempt to show below are some of the theories that, through the modern methods and tools (the internet), and the information age accessibility, plus by (lazily) using AI and (more diligentky) referencing older out-of-print books and citing other sources (such as by visiting sits oneself), that all have very compelling and widely different takes on history (especially dates, names of kings and skin even colours) – some of which, the discerning and critical thinking mind can see are clearly false and wrong – made up, not even very well, to cover the fact these stories are just that – stories. What becomes most worrying, are that the official narratives and revealed to be the least convincing.....

The Creation Story
We are led to believe now from modern 'science', regarding theories of creation (in a secular society), that the origins or life came into existence from 'nothing' following a 'big bang'. Over billions of years, the crusts of the earth cooled and the seas were formed around the terra firma global earth, from which frequencies of radiation, vibrating with the sulfuric acids in thermal pools, created the first micro signs of life. 

Evolution Revolution
Tin anaerobic organisms created the oxygen that in turn created the life in the seas and blah blah blah, after millions of years where gigantic dinosaurs roamed, much later on, we had monkeys and through another period of evolution, we became 'intelligent' humans that now are telling us the history we make our own minds up on is the truth...or not.

Here we are in the 21st century, still following 'Out of Africa' theory, which claims we all evolved from hominids that originated out of Africa from creatures that crossed from chimpanzee cousins, mating with another Neanderthal species to eventually create Human Beings over a long period of time. Theere are many 'findings' of skulls that are claimed to be bridge species – famously called 'the missing link'. With so many hoaxes and forgeries (Piltdown man), this link for humanity is still missing.

Darwin's, 'Natural Selection' theory, which is claimed by 'scholars' to be one of the 'most solid' scientific theories of how humans first picked up a stick to get an advantage over other animals, to use their opposable thumb over a number of years whilst living in caves, to develop metal tools and eventually fly themselves to the moon.

The Age Of Truth

For those easily triggered, do not click the link here – as it leads one to some research conundrums that will destroy your current world view and undo everything you have been led to believe about the earth we live on. From this point of enquiry, you'll discover that th topic and the theroty has been around a long time and that the ancients and all intelligent civilisations – which gain reveals an uncomfortable truth m that this current epoch is not the most advanced civilisation that has existed – provable by looking at the ancient structures and keeping one's eyes open to the architecture that surrounds us today – found in many cities around the world. 

The Dark Ages

Our history has been written by those who control perceptions of what our reality is. Why do we have the controllers? That answer comes when we look at what the bible says about the angelic beings, who took wives from the earth women and raised giants.

We can read through the bible to see there were many giants around the world and there were many giants on Britain, especially around the south coast in Cornwall. Gary Wayne has well documented the story of the giants from the Bible and the links can be found on his website here.

Smithsonian Cover Up

There were no 'dark ages', just book burning inquisitions, manufactured revolutions and civil wars, cultural resets using destructive Marxist behavioural control techniques, people trafficking by persecution and slavery and the many manufactured wars invented for further destroying historical evidence and erasing the minds of newer generations. 

According to many sources, including John Hamer (book below), the hidden controllers of the world are the same Roman/Vatican forces, who have the books from the burned-down Great Library of Alexandria, stored under the Vatican in secret vaults.

Falsification of History

What follows from here will be some links to books, links to videos and discussions, pictures of ancient sites old maps and references of peoples and places, showing migrations from other parts of the world, to the British Isles. The names of the countries, the peoples, the timings and the cycles of civilisations as they appear to be, revealed through methods such as 'carbon dating', scriptures and histories – all of which are questionable and revealed to be subject to the same perversion, obscuration and false interpretation – either deliberate or the result of the human condition.

Great Cataclysms

There are many stories of cataclysms that have wiped out civilisations throughout ancient cities in North and South America, Mexico, India, Iraq, Italy and have devastated Europe throughout history. There is a theory of mass devastation in Africa that destroyed many advanced cities, with one claiming to be Atlantis.

In the video above, we can see where huge movements of water and debris would have cleared the land in the area south of the Atlas Mountains, where we see what could have once been The Eye Of The Sahara', also known as Atlantis.

UK Apocalype
Volcanic eruptions in the worst year of winter 536, followed by further eruptions in 537-538 and another that caused a little ice age up to 560AD, resulting in a terrible plague called 'The Plague of Justinian'. massive starvation and death from these events that few know about.

Destruction To Civilisations Buried In Mud

Mud floods 1740 and 1894 followed on from cataclysms that destroyed many cities around the world. There are many images of Rome, Moscow and other cities around the world, where the streets are piled with rubble, the buildings half submerged and windows buried in the ground. There are still many buildings to be found all around the world, including in Amrica, Australia New Zealand and countries where the buildings should not have been that sophisticated from the 1700 and 1800's if we are to believe the population figures.

Highly Developed Ancient Civilisations
All around us we can find examples of highly skilled workmanship, beautifully crafted to exact measurements, laser precision cuts, straight lines in granite and the remains of structures that appear to be of such premium build quality, that we would struggle to make these today. The image above depicts giant lights with electric cables attached. The Baghdad Batteries show how Sumer had electricity.

Puma Punko above from Bolivia has precision-made moulds that would have used a superior kind of geo-polymer to create these very hard granite blocks. We can find deep caverns and tunnels in Malta, UK, Paris, Japan and all across the Americas. Many in London became the sewage network and the London underground – with the nine tunnels excavated under the Thames, plus 54 stations all built in 20 years, according to records - the same amount of time it has just taken for one tunnel to be built linking existing underground stations for the new Elizabeth line.

In America, the tunnel networks extend from one side of America to the other (above) – and are claimed to link with massive underground cities that house many thousands of officials. Some claim these are also inhabited by other beings – with so many accounts of sightings – of particular note at Denver airport, that the US government have had to scrub many websites from the backups to hide these stories.

More Land to Discover
Some other researchers claim that not only are the timelines adjusted and the history completely made up and jumbled, but that there are other lands beyond Antarctica that we are restricted from going to. The above clock shows where the current epoch has us placed in alignment with the current age of Aquarius

These clocks can still be found in parts of Europe and the one above is hundreds of years old. Again, the regions of the current epoch are exposed due to the sun's position, but as the pole migrates North, the land mass that is eventually revealed from under the ice, displayes the previous civilisations that existed years before, where kings reigned for 30-40,000 years according to historical data research here.

Jeru-Salem & The City Of Peace

There's so many ancient stories, timelines and corrupted documents about history, that to research all the material out there, we'd never get to the truth of what has really gone before – and the best we can do is come to the conclusion that the history we're been fed is a complete fabrication.

If I were asked what period of time I'd like to visit – it would be hard to choose – but I do know that right now is the greatest time to be alive! All the lies are getting exposed with so Truths being revealed.

The age of information has allowed us to take these magical mystery tours of discovery deep back into history. Whichever the real history truly is – taking the journey has been the best part. Who knows perhaps there could be many versions of history which can all be true at the same time, meaning the holographic simulation theory is correct and we actually live in a multiverse of many histories!

Pathways 2025

THE JOURNEY

Along this path of discovery, I'll be sharing a home study exercise and the findings below will be for all to read. The main topics are shared at the bottom of each week, linking to posts on timelines for History, Animal Guides and Healing, plus other points for discussion and ongoing study.

I will use these blog pages to reflect on at a future date to see how I've progressed. This post will be added to and updated in accordance with the information presented in the Pathways coursework. :)

{One note to self and to all reading these publicly available posts – there are many words and ways to describe simple methods. The descriptions, expansive explanations and links are here for all to take what they need, resonate with to evaluate, store and then discard.}

April 19-20 Homework Week 1

1. Pennies from heaven (ongoing updates)
– I found two old pennies on the way to Pathways on 10th May 2025!
– I always look out for lucky coins and give them to a friend for luck that never ends. :)
– I found another two pennies, one old and one new, just as I was having thoughts about money and security, a real blessing on 4th June 2025!
– I found a 1 cent coin on my doorstep 8th June 2025!

2. How We Impact Others
I always look at other people's behaviour based on how they interact with me, to then see how I can interact with them in a better way according to their personality preferences. The Enneagrams helped me.

We all project. Our friends and partners are projections of what we want. Our parents are projecting their ideals and desires for what they want their kids to be. 

I know what it feels like to be misunderstood and so I never judge a book by its cover as I personally know how I'm perceived in many ways that can be witnessed as opposite to how I am feeling or what I am enjoying at the time.
We can all embody the inner child and I aim for lightness and play to avoid most of the trappings of being falsely perceived, avoid being offended, protect others from my (at times) direct nature and I can just 'be' without taking things too seriously.

2.2 Sacredness. To avoid being overly-critical, I also look at everyone as 'God' or as an expression of the divine, so I can appreciate their beauty as part of my connection to unity and be at one with the mystery of life without always trying to understand it or form judgment.

3. Healing
Q. What is Healing?
A. Healing is a process.

3.1 The List of healings and which healing modalities could be said to be of best value:

1. No.1 – Awareness. Being aware of what harms, means we can avoid the things that make us ill. Free.
2. Breath. The greatest healer. Without being aware, breath is overlooked as the most important thing for healing and health. Healing breaths are those that fill the lungs and those that empty the lungs. Free.
3. Movement. Moving the energies around the body and keeping the functions of the body through movement, including exercises and breath, to remove waste and contaminants. Free.
4. Nature. Alignment with nature is paramount. Taking walks in the sunshine, getting the heart rate up and sweating, deep breathing – all come from the same awareness of being aligned to nature for healing. Free.
4. Nutrition. Diet awareness and action, including clean food and drink. Cheap. Difficult to do in a modern world with so many problems with the way food is grown and processed, but with self-awareness, research and critical thinking, healing is achieved through decisions made.  
5. Integrity of Action. Following a lifestyle of good movement, correct breathing, balanced nutrition and mindfulness will ensure we do the right things to make ourselves happy, healthy and wise. Free.
6. Purges. When we've not been so on top of awareness, haven't moved enough in nature, not got the heart rate up and breathed well, nor released stuck energies through mindful action, we can purge. The liver Cleanse is the best value for money. It costs less than £20 and because the liver performs 500+ different essential functions, it will save our lives, extend life and reverse chronic illnesses if we perform this process early enough.
7. Fasts. The body restores itself if we allow it the space and time to do it. Fasting allows the digestive system to repair (three days) and the lymphatic system to drain, the liver to release and the lungs to have less waste to purge. Free.
8. Holidays. Taking a break from our minds, from our heavy toil and getting away from the stresses, is the best form of healing. Can be Free. Taking breaks from our jobs, away from our partners and families can also be good for us.
9. Meditation. This form of healing links to holidays above and also to no.1 awareness. It is also the form of Astral travel we call sleep and can be any type of mindful relaxation, coming from walking in the park, meandering on a bike ride or even performing repetitive tasks at the gym. Free. A holiday from the mind.
We can also direct our mind to where we need to heal and use our hands and intention to heal ourselves and others using this universal form of healing.

Healing Modalities & Therapy Sessions
If we are talking about the modalities of healing – I wouldn't know where to start on which are the best.
– Energy healing: Reiki and electrical healing, such as grounding and laying on of hands, that also includes moving stuck energy via massages, acupuncture, cupping, acupressure of feet and hands, sacral cranial and forms of osteopathy and chiropractic skeletal therapies.
– Sound immersion: Gong showers, drumming & rattling, Crystal and Tibetan bowls around and on the body. Great for shaking out the stuck vibrational energies and resetting the emotions.
– Vibrational therapies: Tuning forks and using the above instruments to bring correct resonance back.
– Hypnosis: Self-hypnosis using sound immersion, binaural beats, drum patterning and meditation chanting, Oms and mantras.
– Talking & sharing: Having someone to listen and not judge. Simple healing. Can be more advanced by using psychotherapy and a number of techniques, including journeying and regression to a child, such as in Shamanic journeying practices.
– Kiniesiology. Tapping into the program code of life. Using the muscle tests and by putting different substances in our energy field, we can detect what the universe is telling us. Much like Wilhelm Reich, Royal Rife, Hulda Clark and Don Croft, Jerry Tenant and a number of other healing practitioners have revealed, we can detect the causes of low energy, by being in the vicinity of (or simply be asking the subconscious and universe), what is causing a lack of power and draining vitality. Another form of energy healing. For more info, including links to books and research, please see the link below.

3.2 The following are some concepts about what Healing is and how it can be activated.

– With healing, we need to have an awareness of it as a process.
– We then have to be in the right external environment and have the right internal conditions for the process of healing to take place.
– Healing can be a permission when we let go of the things preventing healing.
– Healing is compassion for oneself and we become a conduit for healing when we are open to compassion.
– Healing comes from a place of love - which is a gravitational divine feminine energy.
– We can activate healing through the 'WILL'. It needs a 'positive' mental charge and frequency to power up the healing process.
– A healing balance in scientific terms is called 'homeostasis' or it can be the 'anabolic' process (build up of new cells) as opposed to the catabolic (breakdown) of cells. These two conditions are activated by 'programs' of which we release serotonin, melatonin and other hormones to regulate and maintain healthy balance.

– Healing can happen passively when we are relaxed, healthy and happy (positive mindset).
– Healing can take place quicker and better when we allow the right programs to run – which are activated through mindfulness and wilfulness to allow healing.
– The right chemical pH for healing is alkaline – around 7.32- 7.34 pH. (This links to Hz and BPM.)
– The energy of Nature called the Schumann Resonance, is said to be from 3Hz around 7.83Hz, 14.3, 20.8, 27.3, and 33.8 Hz. These seem to be around the Hz frequencies of Theta, Alpha, Beta and High-Beta.
– We are beings of light in a physical body that requires electricity to function.
– The right voltage for healing is around 50MVs with 25MVs being enough for good function.
– Lack of function is due to a pollution of the body fluids, blockages of the body filters, lack of energy from the sun and the nutrients we need and from a deeper spiritual and emotional malaise that harbours all the functions of the endocrine system.
– Sleep allows for 'powering-down' of the 12 energy meridians (AKA battery capacitors), to in-turn carry our repairs on each of the systems of which we have working in pairs. 
– People who operate in their mostly left-habd logic and academic brain during the day, can experience vivid dreams at night time as the right hemisphere takes over running of the system. Healing will be experienced through resting cognitive function and doing something creative.
– People who work mostly in the limbic system for jobs in conventional healing and especially working with the elderly and very young, may need to take alternative measures of healing - like reading fantasy novels or watching trash TV.
– For those operating in manual fields, they will need to heal more through good nutrition, restful sleep and periods away from stress – like a holiday or taking up other hobbies that are more mind and heart based pursuits.
– With healing, we cannot heal others, as it is up to them – and without the person first being open to the possibility of healing, we may only be a catalyst for finding the right environment, setting the conditions and providing a pathway with easy first steps to take, for the individual to progress along their healing journey.
– Healing is an energetic balance which requires stored resources and the ability to take in new 'charge' of the energy from our sun and from the foods and water that nature provides. This is the main healing
– Healing requires clear channels for ridding the body of waste, to ensure the filter organs like the liver, the lungs, the kidneys, the colon and the skin are all able to process and expel waste
 – Healing also requires that we let go of stuck energy, painful emotions and thoughts that are not serving us.
– All energies are based on the fundamental principles of electromagnetism which have a masculine, feminine and a neutral point.
– As in electronics, there are positive, negative, neutral, dielectric, plus inverted versions of positive, inverted negative and inverted dielectric charges – aka 'false positive/false negative, either/or and neither.
– The same forces of electromagnetism and the different states of charge can be witnessed in the way people express themselves physically, morally, sexually and emotionally. 
– In psychology we have the psyche and the shadow, the anima and the animus and we have extreme versions of damaged people who are operating inverted to normal function, which we call psychopathic, narcissistic and machiavellian – AKA The Dark Triad.
– Healing comes from being in balance with the forces of nature to embody the energies we call 'Prana or Qi or Orgone'.
– Healing can be broken down as 'He' – 'El' – 'ing': He: Heart, El: Saturn and ing: the verb for moving the energy of the Sun through the Solar Plexus, down to the lower chakra where Saturn and Uranus reside.
– Heel-ing also means taking God's light of 'Heaven' down into the soil of the Earth, out through the heel of the feet. This is called 'Grounding'

4. Different Styles of Drum
Drums made from animal skins vary from one indigenous culture to another. The Tibetan and Himalayan tribes from Phurba, Nepal created Goat skin Dhangro Dhami Shaman Medicine and Healing drums which also contained beads and some use a beaded tail to play on rotation.

Nepalese drums incorporate the healing stick or 'Vajra Healing wand' in the handle of the drum. The drums are placed over the sick person, with the stick directed at the injured person in the area that needs healing.

Native American powwows, West African djembe drums, and the rhythmic Taiko drumming combines elements of all tribal drums with deep resonance for healing and energising.

The Djembe is made of different woods with the wood of the Cache tree being of the most sought after, now protected and only sourced through tribal elders. The different woods make for the most resonant sounds, with different treatments of the goatskin and different thicknesses providing the deep bass and the accent notes. Other skins are used such as deer, stag, elk and bear.

4.2 Reading: 'When the Women Were Drummers' is a real eye opener of how drums were intrinsic to the healing energies.

5. Offering Pouch This Land & Other Cultures
Offering pouches tend to be made of soft leather and traditionally for celtic cultures, contain herbs, oats and salt. Salt is seen as a sacred offering. Laying down with respect on the ground, offerings of this kind, is seen as a respectful way of honouring the land – especially when exchanging for other items collected.

Pouches of this land were originally made with the skin of Cranes. These birds have been spotted in couples again in these lnads!

Offerings can take many forms, and people may be familiar with different forms depending on the culture and tradition. In some First Nations and Native cultures, people offer tobacco, while in others, they offer corn or other crops. In the Andean culture of Peru, offerings are made to Pachamama, the goddess of the earth, by burying items such as coca leaves, corn, and chocolate in the ground. In Altai culture, offerings of milk, butter, and other sacred items are made to the mountains, rivers, and trees as a sign of respect and gratitude. Offering are generally of high value to the particular people of the region.

In many indigenous cultures around the world, offerings are still an important part of daily life. These cultures recognise that everything is interconnected and that the land is a vital part of their existence. Offerings are made to honour the land, the ancestors, and the spirits that inhabit it – something that 'developed' nations have lost, but seems to have had a resurgence in recent years.

6. Feather & Protected Birds
There are hundreds of birds protected under the migratory birds laws from North America, which include species of birds from around the world. It is generally illegal to buy and sell feathers, and those caught importing feathers without a license can face heavy fines and jail time. Etsy seems to have found a way around these rules – or perhaps are colouring and classifying chicken feathers as exotic birds...
A list of some of the protected birds whose feathers are illegal for trade and possession numbered below:

1. Amur Falcon
2. Osprey
3. Albatros
4. Condor
5. White Tailed Eagle
6. Long Legged Buzzard
7. Kingfisher
8. Spectacled Eider
9. Steller's Eider
10. Snowy Owl

7. Stones & Bones
I've collected some stones from the places that have deeper meaning to me, such as the beaches of Margate, Eastbourne and Seaford, with some stones that also look like fossilised bones! I also take the wish bones from our Sunday family appreciation meals (with gratitude prayer before eating) to a special tree on a crossroads in our local park, which has a split trunk and an area in the centre of the tree to leave blessings of gratitude. 

7.1 Medicine Pouch
The Pouch I have created now has totems that have been worn close to my body, natural items for connection to spirits and my bird guide allies.

8. Ceremony of Manifestation Around A Meal
I first created a space for a ceremony to bring us guidance and good fortune for a house move. We began with a calling in of the elements, with thanks to the wise ones, guides, spirits and angels.
> We lit a candle.
> We sang a chant to bring in the guides.
> We gave thanks for guidance and sat in silence for 10 minutes while I played a soft drum pattern
> We linked hands and repeated a set of affirmations
    Life is Good
    Life is Easy
    All great things come to us!
The ceremony was closed with thanks and gratitude offered up to the spirits, guides, our ancestors, teachers and we took a few breaths with prayer in gratitude.
We fed the pigieons on the window sill as we ate then took the wish bone to our sacred tree and gave the chicken carcass to the fox later at night where we know they come in from the railway line, saying thanks again.

8.1 Feedback: My partner was open to ceremony and we already have prayer and gratitude on our sound immersion sessions and in our community gifting workshops. We had an outdoor session in the park and I led the ceremony to open and close.

Generally, it's now accepted that we put our intention, our gratitude and love into everything we do. we also lay our hands over food and bless it Reiki-style, with the bringing together of hands in silent honour of the plants and animals that have become the food. I have tried to talk to my parents and certain friends about celebrating life in this manner, watching as eyes glaze over and they get all nervous and twitchy when prayer is mentioned. I understand, I used to be like that too!

8.2 Rituals
– Morning rituals involve the first waking moments, by taking note of the dreams, their meanings and taking time in this in-between waking and sleep state to check-in with he body and plan the day.
– Teeth brushing has become a 2-minute brushing ritual.
– Gentle exercise routine: press-ups and planks, Qi Gong.
– Making new batches of water and blessing the water.
– Extracting the Kefir to take the live yogurt and greet, bless, thank my helpers.

8.3 Ceremony
– Blessing the water batches made, stirring anti-clockwise with a coiled copper spoon, pouring into a container and chanting 'Om Mani Ped Me Hum'.
– Walking to the park forms part of the ceremony, as the intent is to connect with nature.
– Leaving blessings at the tree on the crossroads, plus greeting animals I meet (using non-verbal pictures and expressions).
– Planting wish bones and food for animals, with gratitude and blessings.
– Lighting a candle at the altar and giving thanks for the guidance and protection in meditation.

8.4 Deepen connection to bloodline ancestors and heritage
– Visiting family in Cornwall where my Aunty lives and where my great Uncle was buried, where my partner's family are buried. Honouring the pictures of passed loved ones.
– Thinking of those who have passed before and a quiet moment to remember and connect.
– Having pictures of family close by and realising the origins of the family through the name and linage.
– Dream diary reveals many animals, people and situations.

Recent dreams:
> The first night after the workshop, I dreamt of a dark night with all the buildings burning as I looked across the horizon, seeing the flames against a dark sky, with the lava from an earthquake and a live volcano rising to consume everything. It was very lucid as I was able to look all around me. Symbolising a big change perhaps?
> The next night I was tickling under the chin of a crocodile. Symbolising playing with a strong force, which I'm making friends with?

My Dream Diary will be added to this link here

9. Altars
Q. How many alters are there at Caer Cohrain?
We counted a dozen on the last day, but then we collectively numbered every small artefact we found that could be considered a place of focus and representation, which meant more than 15+ potential alters around the immediate vicinity – possibly many more around the garden too! THERE IS ONE ALTAR called Caer Cohrain.

9.1 At Home
Q. How many alters are in our home?
A. We have a main altar in the hallway with feathers, pictures, crystals, candles, incense and a number of important keepsakes. I have a candle by the bed and a number of totems from Egypt, Germany and Cornwall. I also have pendants, jewellery, pictures and other totems on the dresser and the kitchen table and the shelves also have a number of items of focus.

9.2 Friend's Altars
Q. How many alters in friends' and family's houses?
A. Every picture on the walls is of the family and of the people they are close to and special occasions they have enjoyed. My parents have multiple pictures of the family everywhere.

9.3 Unintentional alters –
These will be little trinkets and keepsakes, the items holding objet d'arts and other points of focus. There are good luck charms on window sills and every mantle piece in my parents house.

10. Timelines Through the Ages In This Land
I'm drawn to history as it was one of my favourite topics in school. My History teacher was always getting us to question history with a critical mind and he also had a pretty daughter our age who I used to wind him up about taking on a date. I was given extra coursework on a regular basis – partly as punishment, but I think as a test of my suitability for his daughter – maybe that last bit was in my mind only lol.

10.1 History is 'His Story' – It is written by the winners. There are periods in history that don't match up with the timelines and there are artefacts and architecture remaining today that show a different kind of history than we are led to believe happened, involving huge stone structures with blocks too heavy to lift even today, deep layers to structures underground that would involve massive resources and heavy machinery, laser technology that would be impossible or way too expensive to build today. There are types of cement (Portland) and hard stone polished materials (geo-polymers) that cannot be created as well today – or are mimicked, without the same levels of precision and elegance of what was created (allegedly) thousands of years ago.

I will attempt to write these stories up of history as creatively as I find them in 'fact'.

Below we can see an official timeline of the UK based on the information that AI and Wikipedia has created for us. These are timings that which have some resonance but are somewhat difficult to confirm.

Trust The Sources
When we go to AI for answers about history, it draws on Wikipedia for the official narrative. If the sources are off, then we will receive conflicting and incorrect information. See at the bottom of this section for my alternative research and an even more far-out theory!

According to mainstream sources, here’s a concise history of Britain starting from 10,000 BC:

> 10,000 BC: End of the last Ice Age; Mesolithic hunter-gatherers settle Britain.

> 4000 BC: Neolithic farmers arrive; agriculture, stone monuments (like Stonehenge) emerge.

> 2500–800 BC: Bronze Age; development of metal tools, early tribal societies.

> 800 BC–43 AD: Iron Age; Celtic culture dominates; hillforts are built.

> 43–410 AD: Roman Britain; Britain becomes a Roman province, towns and roads are built.

> 410–1066: Anglo-Saxon period; Roman rule ends, Germanic tribes (Angles, Saxons, Jutes) settle, Christianity spreads.

> 793–1066: Viking Age; Norse invasions, Danelaw established in parts of England.

> 1066: Norman Conquest; William the Conqueror defeats Harold II at the Battle of Hastings.

> 1066–1485: Medieval Britain; feudalism, Magna Carta (1215), Hundred Years' War, Wars of the Roses.

> 1485–1603: Tudor period; Henry VIII's Reformation, Elizabeth I's reign, beginnings of empire.

> 1603–1714: Stuart period; English Civil War, execution of Charles I (1649), Glorious Revolution (1688), constitutional monarchy.

> 1714–1837: Georgian era; Industrial Revolution starts, British Empire expands.

> 1837–1901: Victorian era; peak of the British Empire, major social, scientific, and industrial changes.

> 1901–present: Modern Britain; two World Wars, decline of empire, development/decline into a multicultural democracy/tyranny.

Where Myths & Legends Come Alive

According to multiple sources – including reliable data on moon eclipses, the moon disappeared for months at a time and according to the regular data of moon eclipses known since Greek times, there are around 1050 years of moon eclipses missing from our standard timeline, with dates from the 'dark ages' accounting for 600-700 years of lost historical information. Something clearly doesn't stack up...
.
For digital books that reveal the dates and times in a different timeline – click here 

My personal take on history is that time is an illusion – There is only The Now. Even the science champions 'Simulation theory' where the past can be affected in the present moment by influencing the future, activated through intention and manifestation made within the 4th dimension of infinite possibility. Probability tests show how 'enlightened gurus' such as 'GrandMaster Wolf' can influence probability and affect future outcomes. We are the creators of our reality and we can travel back and forward in time to wherever our creative minds can imagine us to be (or pick up from the Akashic Library.)

This is also the work of CERN and the timeline changes are experienced as the phenomenon called Mandela Effect – the name based on memories many people held pre-2012 about Nelson Mandela dying in prison. The work of Quantum computing called D-WAVE, involving DARPA, NASA and a number of Military factions, has learned from the ancients, the technology for how to tap into the very fabric of reality – to alter time. This can be why we have a fractured account now of history where the architecture found in deserts matches the architecture found all over the world in modern cities, that have ancient 'Greco/Roman' structures. These structures embody the realm, the planets and the hierachy of the planet energies in their construction, with the placement being on the Earth's energy grids.

May 10-11: Homework Week 2

11. Practice Shamanic Drumming:
Did a few practices to get the rhythm right. realised I'd been using a different heartbeat rhythm for sound therapy! Tiredness allows for default brain behaviours to be chosen - another factor to be aware of when beginning a journey with mindfulness and intent!

Tried different ways to play and drum when describing the process, plus I tried with a description broken by playing. Did a couple of drumming sessions at home on my own – the neighbours must love me lol. I enjoyed the experience, but was listening out for bangs on the floor or the front door while keeping consistency. Outcome: Will find outdoor spaces to practice more.

11.1 Journey For Self
Practiced before a healing session with a volunteer, to receive guidance and empowerment

Group sound immersion with Drum Journey:
In the park on 1st June, played around with different methods of playing consistently with description banter and then performed a journey practice. Feedback was very good on sound quality and consistency.

11.2 Group Power Animal retrieval:
In the afternoon, I led a 10 minute Power Animal retrieval drum jouneying session at the balham Spiritualist Church with two other drummers, including a 30+ years sound healer, musician and shaman guy we were hosting called 'White Dove' (pictured above), with my Dear drum, his Dhangro Dhami Medicine drum and Cathy's Horse drum. There were 14 people in the room. Black panthers, foxes a bear and a horse were met on the journey! It went really smoothly this time and everyone was happy with the experience! I was impressed with myself how well it went!

11.3 Shamanic Journey to retrieve power animal
My first journey session was with my friend Gemma in Ibiza 20th May who found her power animal. The second person is next Friday 13th June with my friend Sara as part of a healing case study. A third will follow..

12. Stalking
I've been practising this in Sainsbury's. Feels a bit weird – only doing to men. I'm also trying to be hidden from the security guard, but it makes me want to try and lift something lol.

12.1 Leaving a crowded room without being noticed.
YES! I left a party and went home without anyone noticing. Athough they did question if I'd gone early the next day and wasn't sure if they'd seen me or not.

12.2 Following someone without being seen
This has been my favourite game in Sainsbury's lol.

12.3 Predict where someone will go
I haven't only just managed to predict when someone will go (or make them go) – but I can get them to scratch their ear as if stroked by someone and to turn around when I'm staring at the back of their heads!

12.4 Twighlight fox stalking
Haven't managed to find a fox at twighlight to stalk yet - BUT - I did track a fox that was hnging around my garage and stayed up with him for a few streets as he cut through people's gardens. When I called to him, he was startled, showing he hadn't spotted me!

Other points...

Psychic Release – A reading on 21st May by a renowned mystic Julie Cook said I was able to work on my own merits, that I didn't have to only support my partner in her work. She mentioned some other things that were difficult to cold read – and they are facets of my psyche which are holding me in limbo.

Medicine Bag – I found a horse hair bag and have filled it with my medicine tools. I have my first client to test the tools I have learned and practised on the 11th June. I feel more confident in my abilities and committed to embracing my new-found skills, to develop them and not be afraid to leave behind the old corporate world of advertising.

Power Animal Guide – When I was feeling stuck for what to base my homework on that would have significance and value on the Pathways Journey, I asked for guidance and was immediately drawn to the pigeon outside my window – a revelation! I was going to look up man's connection to pigeons over the years. How clear was this guidance and how right was the decision to research Pigeons, the birds that are everywhere and of such powerful shamanic significance, to mankind and to me!

June 7-8: Homework Week 3

13. Incubation Of Dreams
Dream incubation is known as “the practice of going to a sacred place to sleep for the purpose of obtaining a useful dream from a god.” This can also be achieved through 'Active Meditation' or Lucid Dreaming and a form of Astral Projection. Teas and herbs can be ingested – is short, any technique (or combination of techniques) that that is engendered to bring on the desired dream. These are the methods for actively connecting to other non-physical realms or dimensions and consciously experiencing or remembering the journey.

All are wilful directions and instructions, like a computer program works perhaps, placed into the subconscious for the purpose of seeking divination and guidance. Meanings will vary depending on how the dream is received and interpreted – and in ancient times, this could be done by consulting someone in an 'official capacity' or other worshipers at the site. Personally, asking strangers to interpret personal dreams seems akin to asking strangers to diagnose symptoms being felt from some kind of malaise – both of which can be better investigated and known by the one having the experiences...?

13.1 History
The idea of sleeping to access dreams where the Gods can be reached, comes from the ancient Greeks, and THE DREAM TEMPLE OF ASKLEPIUS. A healing space for the Spirit. The highest healing , it was claimed, would be following a visit from the The God Asklepius (also Sarapis, Isis – plus Imhotep and Amenhotep of Egyptian origin). Scribes at the time well documented the healings that took place and it was claimed that a response could come over an extended period of time or healing would be achieved, even when many 'convetional' physicians had tried without success.

The word Incubation means 'to lie upon' and the sacred skin called a Klinie is where we get the word clinic from. The temples were places where inspiration for dreaming and for healing, would inspire the dream for the dreamer and to then form healing as reality upon waking.

Greco Romans, ancient Egyptians and early Christians all used healing temples for accessing over realms in their healing practices. The ancient healing temples, called 'Asclepieions', are still today visited by people seeking healing from incubation of dreams. The Caduceus icon for healing is also linked to the snake staff that Asklepius carried.

Books I've been revisiting and investigating on Dream Incubation (I had a few talks with Sarah Janes about coming to give a talk at one of our events) include 'Initiation into Dream Mysteries' by Sarah Janes, 'Healing dream and ritual – ancient incubation and modern', by Carl Alfred Meier and Where Dreams may come', by Gil H Renberg.

13.2 Differences between Vision Quest and Incubation of Dreams
Vison Quests are performed while awake, conscious and can potentially be received with eyes both open or closed. Incubation of dreams are visions, messages and healing said to be received from 'gods', guides and from some sources on this topic, spirit guides and the undead (including entities/beings of the the underworld).

Vision quests are decided upon by those seeking to have a spiritual experience. The person will find a place to self-reflect, with longer periods of isolation, fasting, no water intake and by being exposed to heat (sweat lodge), the participant can have profound visions and experience transformative changes.

Incubation of Dreams can last for longer periods of time and healing temples would have special places for those attending to inspire dreams and to connect with guides, with messages received that could be interpreted by scribes at service in the healing temples.

13.3 Different Herbs/plant spirits of this land that can help with dreams

Mugwort is a powerful herb used to enhance dreams and for lucid dreaming. Used with hot baths, teas, or as an incense to stimulate the imagination for lucid dreaming.

Chamomile is known for soothing the nerves. It can be used in ritual baths or teas to help promote relaxation and dream recall.

Lavender is a known for its calming properties. As an essential oil or with incense, it ca help promote relaxation and enhanced dream recall.

Hops can also be used to promote relaxation plus it is useful for dream recall after deep sleep.

Valerian is grown in Europe (and North America) – a calming herb often used to promote relaxation. It can also be used to enhance states of lucid dreaming.

13.4 Dream Diary
Here is my dream diary blog post with descriptions and an attempt to work out the meaing.

13.5 Make own incense
I've been using a combination of sage and frankincense with dried plants taken from the park, kept on the alter and for smudging ceremonies, with a combinations of herbs and flowers instinctively sourced for specific purposes to see if I can remove the analytical brain.

Here is a mix created for our (pending) house move:
To bless the new home and bring about some clarity, energy and motivation, plus to clear anxieties, I gathered some of the dried plants and herbs we had available for a mixing ceremony.

I used some of the following:

– White Sage: Cleansing stuck energies
– Rosemary: Reduce Stress
– Bay Leaf: Reduce anxiety
– Pine Needle: 
– Cloves
– Frankincense
– Fenugreek leaf (A small amount from the alter)

The uses and benefits were looked up afterwards. Pleasantly surprised by the aroma and the ingredients fitting the requirements!

Update: Tuesday 8th July. We just blessed the house today with cleansing ceremony in each of the rooms.

13.6 Craft a Medicine Bag

I've made a leather case to hold my insence and offerings

13.7 Craft a talking stick
I've made a nice stick with oiled finish and added rabbits fur, leather handle and feathers.

13.8 Practice Shamanic Journey Technique
Have sourced a number of power animal journeys now for myself, partner and friends.
I'm looking now at doing a regular clinic for donations, to experience drum patterning as well as the clinic for gong showers. Outside in the park over summer will be a great place to offer without the overheads and being in nature will surely add to the experience...

13.9 Do a Power Animal Retrieval Journey and do a drum power animal journey for them to meet animal for themselves.
Have performed both on friends.

June 28-29: Homework Week 4

14. Group Soul Flight Journey to look at the weather forecast. Add individual and group findings.
Rob put himself forward to collate the findings. Both lan and James took initiatives to organise the times using a poll and to connct on WhatsApp.
Here's mine:

I am sitting in the dark, curtains closed.
Had a silent check in at 2 mins before 7pm.
Set the date for 19th at Caer Cohrain.

Opened the calendar and opened the map.
Visualised the space.

My initial thought came almost immediately as bit cold and rain. The number 19 came to me.
Then I checked in again with 19th – and confirmed it was July.

Next image that came through was clouds parting with sun shining through.

Then I asked again and saw myself driving up on the morning of the 19th July, it had been wet – was markedly cooler than previous visit. 19º popped into mind for the morning at 8-10am. With highs later in the day reaching up to mid-20’s.

I ran through in my mind all the faces and saw everyone drumming with intent focus.
I then looked at lunchtime and we were sitting outside in a flat light.
No glaring heat, no big shadows and again cooler. 
Not very sunny. 

Picturing leaving in the van on the lane, the clouds were parting to reveal the sun.

My weather forecast:

Showers overnight with cool start.
Morning:  Around 19-22º 
Afteroon: Low wind
Mostly overcast throughout day
Early evening: Clouds parting with temperatures reaching mid 20ºs.

14.2 Soul Flight for individual. To find a missing item using remote viewing.
My house mate (tennant) has lost her expensive vape. I did a soul flight to see if it could be seen in the house I rent rooms to her and two others and see if it's lost somewhere in the house.

Sunday 6th July
Connected to the drum. Opened ceremony with a candle and honouring the guides. Set intention to access the middle realm for Soul Flight retrieval of a lost vape.

Immediately I saw what looked like a vape on the floor around light material, with small legs like those of a side table. While I was doing the soul flight, I had a sensation of being stuck in a tunnel – before realising I was under a bed! The vape will be either on the floor around the bed or under it...waiting to hear back. 

15. Work on the shadow.

I'm using the direct and question approach – literally adding exclamation marks and question marks to my sentences in my head! More conscious of the hands moving around and keeping palms open – no pointing! I love my shadow – despite it being the twerp that gets me in trouble – got to shine light on it right?!

16. More journeying work
I've been doing a 15 minute drum session regularly to get used to the point when I balance with lucid state and flow state playing the drums. Feels like I'm getting longer moments in the 'sweet spot'. My neighbours must love me!

17. have I completed all written and practical homework.
YES. I believe so...?

18. Has the course changed me and if so, how?
This course has been profound! I've learned so much. I know I am only on the beginning steps of this journey, but I feel the connections to other states or other worlds – beings and guides – are there. Early shoots, but I'm finding out more each day about the power of my drum, the power of the herbs and plants, the power of connection to self and others as well. 

Because I've now openned up to the world of spirits, ancestors and guides, this new direction is also making me more distanced from the people in my life in a way. For instance, the normal everyday things we talk about and do just seem irrelevant now – and my friends/family living in the other world have eyes which observably glaze over whenever I attempt to explain what this course is or share what any of the new discoveries and things I now call 'work' (service) so interest me or are about. 

The group on this Pathways will surely now be the people I can really connect with on this journey. Can't wait to learn more and apply the learnings in beneficial ways! Thank you to everyone on this journey and of course to my teachers Lynn and Bruce 🙏🏼
