In John Boorman's brilliant movie, Excalibur, Merlin foresees the arrival of religions based on notions of a single absolute god that would have little room for practitioners of magic, such as himself. In one scene he says, "Now the one God comes to replace the many - the spirits of the earth, the trees and rivers." It's hard, if not impossible, for me not to prefer that world of multiple gods - all perhaps within some concept of cosmic wholeness. Your writing, Ross, sheds much light on these matters.
Thank you, Martin! And that movie is very important to me actually. Apart from being visually stunning, I have great affection for the character of Merlin in the movie
So have I, Ross. I can relate totally to Merlin. I am trying to remember the actor who played him. Was it Nicol Williams? He was brilliant and stole the show.
This made me think, in the best kind of way. I am fascinated by the sacred spaces that surround us in the everyday and ordinary world we inhabit. If we can step away from what we are told is spiritual and 'right' and instead let ourselves feel where that energy flows, we will collectively begin to heal. Thank you, Ross for this.
Believe it or not, I was just reading something about dowsing - or rather, it involved dowsers. I listen to a great podcast called "The Fall-Asleep" podcast on YouTube. It's about supernatural events and it's great for relaxing! But it mentioned a case of a haunting in Wales that interested me so that I bought the book that was written about it. Dowsers were brought in and it does seem they are actually on to something. It's really interesting and having read it I would be more open to the practice than previously!
It is funny how things pop up and align. Everything is becoming more obviously interconnected. Which is a good thing, when it is focused on good things! I’m going to order some rods and see what happens.

That's right! And Helen Mirren was great as Morgana too
I had forgotten that Helen Mirren was it. I must watch it again.

Thank you, Trudi! That is exactly the kind of thing I'm thinking of 🙏🙏❤️❤️💚
Have you used dousing rods? Just curious as I understand they can be used to locate energies and not just water. I'm feeling drawn to giving it a go!

It is! Everything is intimately involved! It's a miraculous world for just being itself! 🙏
Yes! ❤️🌟✨
