‘By not being aware of having a shadow, you declare a part of your personality to be non-existent. Then it enters the kingdom of the non-existent, which swells up and takes on enormous proportions…if you declare an energic value to be non-existent, a devil appears instead’

“The pentagram expresses the domination of the mind over the elementsby this symbol that we enchain the demons of air, the spirits of fire, the spectres of water, and the ghosts of the earth. Armed with this symbol you will have the legions of angels and columns of demons serve you.”

Somerset Gardens The Newt’s Somerset gardens have been shaped by successive enthusiasts over the last 200 years. Beautiful and useful, they are a feast for the eyes and stomach.

On behalf of the Illuminati I apologise for recent world events. We will restore the world prior to the last major ‘upgrade’ in 2015

Lions Head Drinking Fountain at Glastonbury Chalice Well. This is the only safe place to drink the water. I had a vision here, which I will not reveal, but it confirms to me the sanctity of this place.

Part of Chalice well in Glastonbury- the iron content of the spring waters coats everything in a red precipitate.hence it is called the red spring. Symbolically, it is often linked with Christ’s blood and legends of the Holy Grail. You can paddle in the cool waters here.

Seen on my walk today…Chalice well Glastonbury. A lovely peaceful place for meditation and reflection, the waters are reputed to have healing properties; it’s certainly a powerful place to visit and I found it an emotional experience.

I observe with wry amusement that the Pagans on SM think I’m too Christian, the Christians think I’m demonic and the conspiracy theorists think I’m one of the Illuminati. The scientists think I’ve been seduced by the occult, whilst New Agers accuse me of scientism. I must be doing something right.

Automatically labelled ‘Adult’ content by the hand-wringing, judgemental, snowflake Bluesky AI agent. Yes, I’m actually an adult and talk about adult things. Next time I’ll try to stick to infantile drivel to avoid censorship.
