Once there was magic, mist and the great mystery
Once there was magic, mist and the great mystery
Misty Britain is a place where folklore, mythic memory, etymology, and land healing come together. At the intersection of all these things, we can discover the secrets that have been kept safe for us – the knowing-of-the-heart and the sacred-way-of-seeing that can free us from our deepest pains and trauma. Once there was magic, mist, and the great mystery. Now there will be again – and we will learn that they were never gone from us. And are ours to join with again. The whispers at Misty Britain are offered into the world as a healing balm for our troubled times. May they go where they need to go and find who they need to find.
Welcome, weary traveller. I am a pilgrim on the path beside you, traversing the same ground and the same rocks and rivers. Sometimes we walk ahead of each other and sometimes we fall far behind, but if you are here and reading this, then you know we are all heading for the same places more-or-less. Sometimes the flicker of the flame on the road ahead grows dim and seemingly lifeless, but it never goes out. Who am I? I'm still learning. But should we pass each other on the road, may we bow our heads silently in greeting.
Misty Britain is a reciprocal partnership with the land, the healed-and-well ancestors, and the non-human guides, protectors, and teachers all around us. It is made as an offering of giving voice and witnessing. This misty endeavour is sent out into the collective with their support and rooted in their consent at all times.
As well as (slowly, patiently) building up the content on Misty Britain, I also run my trauma-focused business Arras Healing. This is a little bit in transition right now, as I find myself at a crossroads in my 30s and navigating the huge paradigm shifts we are going through as a collective. I also have a "day job" in the NHS, where I try my best to blend in to society! When I'm not working, you can find me reading obscure and out-of-print books (lucky eBay finds), visiting ancient holy wells and springs, or dabbling in a bit of church tourism (like this photo at ancient Nunburnholme, Yorkshire!)
As my maturity in the ways of the subtle realms, the land, and the resourced ancestors, continues to grow, I am looking forward to developing as a trauma-focused practitioner and professional. Being and becoming trauma-informed and trauma-wise is at the centre of everything I do, and I have found the land to be receptive and needing of this during these times. I do not know where this path is leading me (nor sometimes how I found myself on it) but I remain in deep and humbled gratitude to discover that magic isn't only for Disney and dreams.
