Foundation Course in Dowsing

Well, thanks to Royal Mail I missed out on a foundation course in dowsing. I had signed up to the British Society of Dowsers in order to receive a discount in the fee, only to discover, yesterday, that the application form and cheque for the course were lost in the post. I am bitterly disappointed, as I was keen to learn more about water dowing and using rods, as I am already proficient (if I do say so myself) at using a pendulum.

There goes my solstice weekend.

Festival Calendar

Là Fhèill Brìghde ~ A time to celebrate the end of winter, welcome the beginnings of spring, and the start of new life (and love), usually by the cleaning and purifying the home, and the blessing of animals and children.

Bealltainn ~ The start of the season of fertility.

Summer Solstice ~ A personal celebration wherein I "sit out" all night in contemplation of my ancestors, and how they might have viewed this time of the year, as the days now become shorter, and the nights longer, but the weather warmer.

Lùnastal ~ A time to contemplate blood, family, and honour and the coming harvest.

Samhainn ~ The end of summer and the beginning of winter; a time to honour the ancestors, of the family, older clans, countrymen, and pagan forebears.

Winter Solstice ~ A personal celebration wherein I "sit out" all night to ponder how my ancestors might have endured, and considered during the longest night and shortest day of the year.
