Ley Lines

I made a comment in response to Matt Stones blog entry about Ley Lines, Feng Shui and Celtic ideas of "thin places". Interesting thoughts and a beautiful Australian site on emerging spirituality in general! Some great Aussie Indigenous Icons!

Ray Simpson’s Aussie Tour

I met Ray Simpson on a pilgrimage of ‘holy’ places in the UK 18 months ago. Ray lives on a tiny tidal island called Lindisfarne (also known as Holy Island), off the east coast of England.

Jowan an Cleth 1929-2005

For my first post I wish to pay tribute to John Bolitho who died on December 5th after battling cancer. (We are pictured here together at the Kernewek Lowender, Moonta 2003). John served as the Grand Bard of the Cornish Gorssed and was patron of the Victorian Association. He was passionate about Cornwall, the links with Australia and loved singing. I will never forget his haunting rendition of The Lords Prayer singing unaccompanied in Kernewek at St Pirans Day Celebrations in the Bendigo Methodist Church. The spiritual substance of such moments is what I am seeking to explore through this site.
