After Solstice, a few of us travelled north to Edinburgh. Like tracing a giant dot to dot across the land, we visited Rosslyn Chapel and its beautiful Mother Yew, and discovered that Rosslyn is a place for the bees, with its turrets made as beehives. We paid homage to the witches of Scotland in Edinburgh, and that sad period of history.
Then to drive a 9 seater van through tiny Scottish Highland roads and squeeze it on to the ferry to Mull where we divined our way a beautiful standing stone circle, just 3 ancient stones standing atop of a blustery hill.
We sat with them for some time, with the wind so wild … not even able to think, and they seemed to share a message “can you be calm as you stand in the center of the storm.”
Being there cleared the cobwebs and we closed at Waterfall, Waterfall, Waterfall … a waterfall who drew us because of her name … and we found her to be epic!
An absolutely joyful, wacky races of a ride, and altogether a wonderful retreat … the energies of which continue to ride with me. As we made this journey, I felt a very strong sense of reciprocity and guidance … reciprocity with the land Herself.
Thank you Scotland and UK, and thank you to all to participated in the adventure.
