Yesterday was the first time I did any real medicine in Weston-Super -mare. We went up to Weston Woods where the old roman fort used to be. The wind was howling and it was bitter cold but eventually we found a safe and quiet spot to start our ceremony. The purpose of this venture was to announce myself to the land spirits, that I was there to help, clear and heal if I could.
I left offerings of nuts and chocolate, called in the quarters and burned the sacred mugwort in a ceremonial dish made incorperating my Mother's ashes.
Twice I was charge challenged by a angry energy but I stuck with it, giving prayers and peaceful thoughts. Finally an image appeared before me, a dark haired woman in green, she even glowed green. She told me her name was something like Igrona/ Agrona, I wasn't quite sure but her message was simple.
"Who are you? What are you here for and what gives you the right?"
I spoke back in prayer saying that althought I am a stranger to these lands, this is my home now and that I wished to come here in times ahead to connect with the land wights and say prayers. That I would prove myself to her not in my words but in my actions.
She replied "We'll see" then dissappeared and I closed the ceremony.
I left runes as offerings that I had picked at random before... EOH and BIRKANA, this indicated a goddess and a place of focus or an archer. All the way down Ju and me picked up rubbish and crap making sure that this time and everytime after, when I come here the wood will be a better place when I leave.
By the time we had reached the bottom of the hill the plactic bag was stacked full. We should for a moment to enjoy the glorious sunset. I spat on the ground to leave my energy there and we left.
Today I checked out the name I received from the woman
