Dear Wen: Slitherhound…

Posted on July 28, 2020 by

Dear Wen… Strictly speaking of course, slug trails should be ‘slug trails’ but I was ever so slightly chuffed to be able to use the ‘Slug Man’ again even if he did have to go into inverted commas. A natural … Continue reading →

Watching

Posted on July 28, 2020 by

For the past few days there has been a young heron beside the road on the five mile drive to my son’s home. It stands, arrow thin, shadow blue and perfectly still, almost invisible, watching the drainage ditch that runs … Continue reading →

Dear Don: Slitherhound…

Posted on July 27, 2020 by

Dear Don, I seem to have been fighting a constant battle with slugs since I read about the slug trails on the suit, you know… In fact, it seems as if there is a lot of tampering with realities going … Continue reading →

Dear Wen: Erratics…

Posted on July 26, 2020 by

Dear Wen… Yes, an eminently enjoyable weekend, it was good to rediscover an old friend. The sleepy energy of Beeley Warren Circle is a balm to the soul as the numerous Bees we encountered should attest. The silly thing is … Continue reading →

Dear Wen: Canopic Jars…

Posted on July 24, 2020 by

Dear Wen… Yes, that is odd, and a complete reversal of what one would expect… Anthropomorphism is supposed to follow zoomorphism not the other way around… So…lungs…east…liver…south… stomach…west… intestines…north… Heart …the all encompassing central and peripheral…quintessence. The brain as a … Continue reading →

Dear Don: Canopic Jars…

Posted on July 23, 2020 by

Dear Don, The canopic jars are odd, you know. The early ones had human heads, then they began to be representations of Anubis, and eventually became the better known sons of Horus… all four jars always protected by the goddess. … Continue reading →

Dear Wen: Dragon…

Posted on July 18, 2020 by

Dear Wen… Well it certainly suggests another sojourn to see what else we can see… The Morphology of the Dragon or, the Shifting of the Wurm… The ‘Lay of the Land,‘ also has possibilities as a title, perhaps… was Goliath … Continue reading →

Dear Wen: The Initiate…

Posted on July 16, 2020 by

Dear Wen… Returned to Uffington and had our initial experience confirmed and a whole new set of images and associations to ponder if the wing, claw and head of the Dragon are in any way correct… The local and regional … Continue reading →

Dear Don: The Initiate…

Posted on July 15, 2020 by

Dear Don, Well, that particular text, really, because we had just been back to the place it all began… so The Initiate just demanded to be read again… I still can’t believe we lived half the stuff in that book! … Continue reading →
