Greenwich Park – Touching The Past

Image
Nōn potest cīvitās abscondī suprā montem posita On the surface, Greenwich Park is a welcoming, green, pleasant space on the south bank of the River Thames, a place for Londoners to relax over the weekend, the location of the Royal Observatory and the Prime Meridian. For some, it’s a former Royal Hunting Park where King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I entertained their guests and, the place that saw England launch its dominance of the waves from the Royal Naval College on its North Western flank. However, for a few, the area has a far deeper, hidden, occult history that few suspect or can even dare to imagine. A location where the pre-christian deities of Brigid, Diana, Herne, Odin, the Snow Queen and the Dark Lady of the Fountain are said to roam, if you have the desire to seek them out. A place where you can find Saxon burial mounds, the foundations of a Roman Temple dedicated to Diana, Goddess of the Moon, an oak tree that good Queen Bess danced around...

Synchronicity – coincidental occurrences or events with meaning?

A Church and some Snowdrops Synchronicity – a concept introduced by the psychologist Carl Jung almost a 100 years ago, who stated that events are meaningful coincidences if they occur with no causal relationship, yet seem to be meaningfully related. The term has enjoyed a renaissance in recent years within the paranormal community, but it is actually phenomena that the Psychic Questing community has been acutely aware of for over 40 years and plays a significant part in their activities. Throughout our research, we’ve encountered many instances of synchronicity, many of which we’ve only been aware of after the event, but does it really have any deep meaning? Snowdrops To illustrate the point, recently, we visited a churchyard in a neighbouring village to photograph the first emerging snowdrops of the year, prompted by a post that we’d seen on social media the previous day. We were honestly expecting more...... It was a cold, damp day, so our focus was pu...

The search for the answers to be found in a hidden corner of Essex - the ghosts that just won't rest.

The sight that greeted us on our very first visit. Ever since Laura and I first started working together, there has been one location that has remained a constant, even as we found ourselves relocating several times around southern and eastern England over the past ten years. An ancient place of Christian worship, located deep in rural Essex, insular and isolated and, as far as we could tell from our initial visit, of little historical significance - although further research could reveal otherwise. As any visitor will attest, as they often have, it cannot be denied that the location has a certain atmosphere, one that Laura herself is not to fond of, so we have always found ourselves being drawn back to the church, time and time again. Needless to say, with so much time spent at the site, we hold a large set of notes on file, that have produced numerous lines of research that we have still yet to investigate fully. However, we thought that it was time to sha...
