This is a small sacred well on the outskirts of the town Great Torrington, in North Devon. It is located on the commons, just past the old bowling green. In the 14C lepers from the nearby village of tadiport (famous for its leper fields and Leperfest every year) would go to the well and use the healing waters to help cure their condition.

Aboriginal Fables and Legendary Tales
Aboriginal Fables and Legendary Tales (Aboriginal Library)
An excellent book containing around 70 stories from the aboriginal dreaming, with wonderful titles such as ‘How Tortoise Got His Shell’, ‘The First Bullroarer’ and ‘The First Man in the Southern Cross.’ Gives a good insight into the Aboriginal creation myths and is a valuable resource for the storyteller. A must read for anyone interested in mythology or Aboriginal Australia. Of course the Aboriginals considered the dreaming myths as actual fact as do I.

The Priestess of Gaia, a dreamtime vision of the future
A tribal woman
approaches a blue extraterrestrial craft. She is a priestess. She is Gaia’s
representative and is about to meet a spirit being from across the galaxy. In Aboriginal times this being would have
been called a Windjina, a sky god, who walks down the Milky Way to help and
teach mankind. She knows this being as one of her spirit guides who brings much
love and wisdom to the new Earth. Over
the years she has developed her subtle senses enough to perceive this craft and
the being inside.
These craft
have been with humanity since their genesis and always watch over. In dense
times, such as we are currently living, such craft are only seen as brief
glimpses by those momentarily sensitive to subtle energies. They are discounted
by scientists and are regarded as a fringe phenomenon. They are described as
UFOs, flying saucers, balls of light, fairies, spirits and ghosts. They exist
on a level of reality that few can experience during our current order, but all
will one day.

Tree Breathing
This exercise allows you to experience the life of a tree and can be performed with or without a real tree. If you have a real tree, sit next to it with your back leaning against its trunk, if you don’t have a tree just visualise it. If you can find a suitable tree, try sitting in its branches.
Breathe in deeply and imagine energy welling up from deep within the earth, travelling up the roots of the tree, the trunk, branches, twigs and leaves. At the same time the energy fills you from head to toe.
Breathe out and imagine energy from the sun entering the leaves of the tree and travelling into the tree. Imagine the breath of the tree sinking into the ground through the branches, trunk and roots.
Continue this breathing pattern until you feel deeply connected to the tree. Expand your awareness to the processes happening in the tree. The sunlight shining on the leaves causing photosynthesis, the production of oxygen, to occur. The sap rising in the trunk.
Expand your awareness to all the life that lives on the tree- birds, insects & lichen.
Slowly bring you awareness back to your own breath and thank the tree (real or imaginary) for its help.

Don't let your karma run over your dogma
I have struggled for many years with the concept of karma. Part of the problem is that there seems to be no universal agreement about what it actually is, and many people believe it does not exist anyway. The main theories are that it is some sort of divine retribution, 'an eye for an eye', or cause and effect. Some think that karma comes back amplified, the threefold law.
It was not until I read the works of a Tibetan Bon lama, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, that I felt I understood what karma is all about. His description made sense and here is my potted version:-) If you would like a better understanding, explore the Ligmincha site http://www.ligmincha.org

What is Karma?
Karma is
the Emotional Charge from Unconscious Memories and Desires, from experiences in
waking life in addition to dreams, daydreams and all other thoughts. Karma also consists of unconscious memories
and desires from previous lives and experiences in the bardo plane (the after
death realm described in The Tibetan Book of the Dead
.)

We Stand as Mighty Oaks
We stand as mighty oaks kissed by the Lady Spirit of Nature, just as leaves are kissed by the breeze. Father Sun sending loving shards of light deep within our souls, nourishing our roots. Slowly, patiently we take time to experience the flow of life, like sap in the trunk spreading to every branch and each and every twig. We stand as a bridge to the elements, rooted in the earth, flowing like water, the air our breath and the sunlight our soul. As does the oak, we stand as guardians to nature’s great paradise. We bow in reverence to her great spirit. We shed our clothes, our worldly lives, our hectic existence, just as the oak sheds its leaves, standing tall. In this deep connection we find our true strength, our deep roots and the joy of simply being. We drink of her spirit in a divine union as she welcomes us into her magical embrace.

The Dreaming Cosmos - Metaphysics of Consciousness
What is consciousness? A seemingly simple question which led the author on a twenty-year journey: a quest for answers through science, metaphysics and spirituality. This journey eventually resulted in contact with a Wandjina, an Aboriginal Australian Sky God, called Zenchi. Under his guidance the metaphysics of consciousness called Lifeforce Harmonics was created. This provided a framework for the rational understanding of the emerging new reality. It was the start of the unfolding of a vision of the future, the Great Transition, where mankind will enter a new Golden Age. This book is the culmination of that process and presents the original Metaphysics of Consciousness manuscript fully updated and revised for the new millennium.
