This morning, as I sat in my usual spot on the cliff edge watching the seabirds whirl and glide over the Atlantic swell, my mind turned to one of my favourite poets W.B.Yeats. In his later life he had a house in the village not far from here and he wandered these very cliffs himself many years ago, as I do today. He was a man occupied and intrigued by the spiritual and the occult, much of which manifested itself in his poetry. Where I sit on the cliff edge, the view is such that there is no sign of modern civilisation, all you can see are the cliffs, the waves, the sky and the horizon, this is truly a timeless place. As I sit here I truly feel that I have nothing, but at the same time I have everything in my dreams. And that is why I thought of the poet today, perhaps his spirit touched me this morning, certainly his words formed in my mind as I sat there alone.
“Had I the heaven’s embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet;Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.”
As I walked back home, I felt I had been given a gift for today - and I wanted to share it with you..

Honey Moon
Honey MoonJune 24th, 2009
The Honey or Mead Moon is now upon us. A Wiccan moon indeed. Crops are now close to their first harvest. Honey is abundant, and people make mead. A time of plenty and thanks. The power of the sun begins to decline. Candle colour for this moon is golden yellow, symbolic of the declining sun.
St John the Baptist, Scripture tells us, lived in the Wilderness where he subsisted on a diet of locust and honey. St John is, therefore, the patron of beekeepers. It’s around the time that we celebrate St John’s Birthday, June 24th, that the hives are full of honey.
And the full moon that occurs after Midsummer’s Eve & St John’s Nativity is called the Mead Moon, because honey was fermented to make mead. It is also called the HONEY MOON. [In 2009, this full moon occurs the first full week of July.]
It’s a time for lovers. An old Celtic proverb says, “Midsummer Night is not long but it sets many cradles rocking.” Midsummer dew was said to have special healing powers. Women washed their faces in it to make themselves beautiful and young.
Here’s a sixteenth century definition of HONEYMOON:
The first month after marriage, when there is nothing but tenderness and pleasure … originally having no reference to the period of a month, but comparing the mutual affection of newly-married persons to the changing moon which is no sooner full than it begins to wane; now, usually, the holiday spent together by a newly-married couple, before settling down at home.
According to some sources, the HONEYMOON is a relic of marriage by capture, based on the practice of the husband going into hiding with his wife to avoid reprisals from her relatives, with the intention that the woman would be pregnant by the end of the month.
As a woman’s cycle runs much like that of the moon, the time to conceive a child was between the time of marriage (or capture) and the HONEY MOON.
It has also been said that the origins of this word date back to the times of Babylon. In order to increase the virility and fertility of the newly-weds, the father of the bride would provide his son-in-law with all the mead (the fermented honey-based drink) he could drink during the first month of the marriage (and, therefore, moon).
The custom of drinking mead after a wedding for a month was also a medieval custom.
Other possible explanations of the word HONEYMOON have to do with the date that weddings traditionally took place. Weddings commonly took place during this time of year for practical reason. That is, it was the time between the planting season and the harvesting season. As it was also this time of year that honey was harvested … again we have the HONEYMOON.
In many parts of Europe it was traditional to supply a newly married couple with enough honey drink — mead — to last a month, ensuring happiness and fertility. From this practice we get HONEYMOON.
A good moon, this one, enjoy it with me….

Parallel Worlds
As I sat on the cliff tops this morning, watching the Atlantic surf crash onto the rocks far below, I had another glimpse into a parallel world. This phenomenon has happened to me on quite a few occasions. It occurs when I least expect it and always when I am alone. Today the window appeared between the sea and the sky. It was about 2 metres in front of me and slightly to one side. The window or opening is always at an angle and never straight on. The opening is very subtle and not at all obvious, somehow as if you were looking through a cracked mirror where the image is there but fragmented.The colours are weak until you concentrate on the window, then they become more vivid depending on the landscape therein.Today I saw dunes of sand and a two bright yellow suns, palms trees waved in a gentle breeze and there were brightly coloured tents in the distance. People or beings moved in and around the tents, some beckoned me towards them.
The image will remain for a while, as if giving me the opportunity to approach, then after some time it will gently fade. I have never dared to go towards these windows, although the landscapes never appear threatening, quite the opposite in fact.
Who knows, one day I may find the courage to investigate further. For now though I am happy to remain where I am, but I’m strangely comforted to know there are worlds and maybe even universes that exists alongside our own.

Soulmates
I get so many emails from people who have broken relationships and ask for help in bringing back an old love or in finding a new one.
Only this weekend I was in Barcelona helping to unite two people who had been searching for each other all there lives but had lost their way in the maze that is modern living.
There is a school of thought that decrees that when we die and are reborn our souls divide in two. We then the spend a large part of our next existence searching for ‘our other half ‘or soulmate, this is, of course, what we know as ‘love’. I firmly believe in this, for what else can explain the extreme feelings of joy or sorrow when we find or lose our soulmate?
People ask me, “Can we have more than one soulmate in one lifetime?”
The answer is, yes we can. But there lies heartache and pain.
As our souls divide over countless lifetimes our search will go on, but in this lifetime, at least, we should be aware that the feelings we encounter when we ‘fall in love’ are entirely meant to be, and the hurt we experience when our soul mate is lost to another is inevitable. But our search should never end and try to remember that your soulmate is out there somewhere.
Never give up hope that your two halves will meet along life’s path.

Don't Think Twice
Take note of what your heart says. We all have dreams. Some of us follow them, others do not. For many, just when they are on the brink of realizing their dream, the head overrules the heart and the dream is dashed, sometimes forever. What then follows is a lifetime of regret and resentment for those who we see as having prevented us from realizing our dreams. But anyone who truly loves someone would do anything to help that person towards realizing their dream and therefore their true destiny.So beware of those who actively stand in the way of our dreams, they may think they love us, but truly they may only fear for themselves.

Good Omens
Are you taking note of the omens around you? Believe me, they are all around us. To me they are like another language - one that is there for everyone to read if only they cared to.Something as simple as a Robin sitting on a branch as we pass by can mean a great deal. This happened to me yesterday as I was walking through the woods near my home. The robin fluttered close by, but when I stopped to observe him, the Robin didn’t fly away, as these normally shy birds do, but hopped even closer, cocking his head to one side and fixing me with a glittering black jewel of an eye.He held my gaze for a short time then in a heartbeat he was off. So what? You might say. But I know there is a message there somewhere. I will let you know in the coming days - something will definitely occur that is connected to that Robin.http://angeltime.co.uk/Spirit-Guides.php

Finding Your Guardian Angel
I get many requests for information about Angels. In times of crisis people tend to start thinking about Angels, guardian and otherwise and wether or not they have the protection of one and so on. Many peope feel that there is something or someone missing in their lives, even though, seemingly, they have all the comforts and neccessities of life. This missing entity is their Guardian Angel. This gap can never be filled by a human or material possesions. Our angels are meant to be with us, by our sides at all times. It is due to our own modern-day failings that we fail to recognise them. Our angels never leave us, but they are distanced by us and are often dismayed and slow to react when suddenly we find we need them after all.
It is natural enough to look for angelic protection in times of trouble - but often the crisis is upon us before we even start to think of our Angels. Our Angels are with everyone one of us when we are born, we talk to them as children - our ‘invisible friends’. Most of us lose contact with our Angels as we grow up, which is a great shame - for they are never far away - we just don’t how to see them anymore. I too, like so many people, lost contact with my Angel - fortunately, realising this, I regained him a few years ago. He is now my constant companion, and in times of trouble I know I am never alone. We can all regain our Angel - we just need to know how..
