Shadow work.

The 'Dorsetshire Gap' is such a special place it has its own visitors books which, I understand from Jack Cornish's book on paths, date back to the 1970s.

The 'Dorsetshire Gap' is an ancient crossroads, definitely medieval probably prehistoric, and one track that leaves it gouged so deep it is a holloway. We did not see another living human getting here today.

From the top of a burial mound on the top of a hill in north Dorset. Wind nearly took us up to join the Ravens overhead.

Absolute sucker for old key and old bottles. Don't know how I didn't return home loaded down.

A simple Saturnian set up.

Ready for prayer and communication.

'The Magical Calendar of Tycho Brahe' a vanishingly scarce broadsheet printed c.1618 in Frankfurt. Only 12 other copies known.

Full of hermetic symbols and associations.

From the 1930s a fab 'Occult Periodical' that reads more like a Parish Magazine. It even has a 'Childrens Corner'.

The Mystic Brotherhood in Tampa FL split from the Rosicrucians in the 1920s and started handing out Doctor of Divinity Degrees until the FTC told them to stop!

St George.

A saint for this age in so many ways.

For the displaced, those of mixed heritage, for those who try to make truth heard and those who fight evil. For those caught up in the madness of emperors.

One of the mighty dead.

Dragon day. From the AD 100s this is a Draco. A dragon head for the top of a standard in battle wielded by the nomadic Sarmations in what is now Northern Iran. A windsock affair from the back made it fly and roar as it was carried.

Dated initials ranging from the 1600s to the 1940s at Athelhampton House in Dorset.

Had me wondering if this very common practice saying 'I was here' represents some form of latent beliefs about person and place.

Io Pan! Io Pan!

(Athelhampton House)

Four cards recording voices in static, daemonic whispers, scratched calls for help on dirty walls...
