Going West: A ‘Misty, Moisty Morning’

Posted on September 25, 2020 by Sue Vincent

We had enjoyed two glorious days of sunshine in Pembrokeshire. Drawing back the curtains of a room that had boasted a clear view of the sea the night before, it seemed that the morning would bring us a different view … Continue reading →

Dear Don: Gravid…

Posted on September 22, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Dear Don, Unfortunately, today’s control seems to be rooted in finding the best entrée into the psychology of marketing and manipulation, forgetting that psyche originally referred to the soul, not the wallet or the popularity polls. “Death’s at the bottom … Continue reading →

Going West: Pentre Ifan

Posted on September 21, 2020 by Sue Vincent

It is a magical place. You are in no doubt of that as you walk along the path to the site. Hoary stones nestle in the hedgerow. Bluebells, those delicate woodland flowers that bloom only in spring, are blooming on … Continue reading →

Dear Wen: Gravid…

Posted on September 21, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Dear Wen, Yes, the ‘constructors’ of the myths knew of the human soul, and how it functions best, and were keen to communicate this information, and to pass on the secrets of its cultivation to their prospective charges. A pity … Continue reading →

Going West: Walking with Angels

Posted on September 20, 2020 by Sue Vincent

We didn’t have to climb the whole height of the mountain; there is a makeshift car park about halfway up. I was glad of that, as my poor, much abused feet were not happy. I spend much of my life … Continue reading →

Dear Don: Heaven ‘n’ Earth…

Posted on September 20, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Dear Don, The more you look back, the more you see of the origins of so many of our traditions and mythologies… all rooted in the same, very human, questions. I like ‘enchanting the mind’. I wonder if our desire … Continue reading →

Going West: Getting Lost

Posted on September 19, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Our little convoy left the ancient site playing follow-the-leader on the narrow roads. The car in front of me had instructions, in case we lost the lead car, on how to get to the car park for a quick comfort … Continue reading →

Dear Wen: Heaven ‘n’ Earth…

Posted on September 19, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Dear Wen, ‘An older tradition’ is always a good place to start, and ‘ponder’ certainly has a watery aspect to it, though ‘charming the mind’ should, perhaps, be enchanting the mind… It is clear that the ancients had a far … Continue reading →

Going West: Carreg Coetan Arthur

Posted on September 18, 2020 by Sue Vincent

This was the third dolmen we had visited in three days whose name tied it to the legendary King Arthur… and three times three is a magical number. It is certainly a magical site and quite unexpected as you walk … Continue reading →

Dear Don: Old Moore’s…

Posted on September 18, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Dear Don, I suppose it was a case of ‘keeping up with the Joneses’ on a grand scale… which almost always leads to going with ‘bigger and better’…or at least a mistaken perception of it… I thought you might have … Continue reading →
