Step into magic, mud, moss, and mist. Find your way back to the Great Mystery. The Old Song which your heart knows, and your soul keeps safe for you. Yes, those parts of you that could not be destroyed. They have held on to this for you, and kept watch for your coming.
The land of these misty isles has been traumatised over millennia. She asks for our witnessing and our humility. If we can be with the truth of her endurance and her suffering, we can also be with the truth of her eternal nature and indomitable spirit. Another world is possible.
Now the old ritual landscapes return to the weary human with open hearts, asking to be known again in full. Hidden within etymology, myth, folklore and trauma — are the old, old whispers of our souls and the soul we share with the land.
Misty Britain is a reciprocal partnership with the land, the healed-and-loving ancestors, and the non-human guides, protectors, guardians 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.
Journey, initiation, breakdown, madness, homecoming — there are many paths that lead to truth. Many maps through the mist. And the road goes on forever.
Read on below, if that is your will.
'Misty Mentoring' is my spiritual and somatic mentoring project here at Arras Healing, designed for sensitive, autistic, and neurodivergent folks who may be going through a spiritual emergency or awakening of some kind.
If you have struggled to find what you need from traditional therapies and coaching, if you feel like you're going crazy sometimes, if other people no longer understand you, if you've felt like the outsider all of your life, or if you are experiencing a spiritual emergency, I may be able to help with bespoke and tailored one-to-one mentoring. This is available for ages 16 and above.
By listening to our bodies, and working with the land and ancestors, we can grow a soulful and somatic connection to our True and Authentic Selves. The "Great Person" within. We can meet our potential in this lifetime. We can be part of the Great Turning and Return. We can end cycles of ancestral heartache and suffering. We can become and belong, just as nature intended.
This is a bespoke 3-session container for £150, with an instalment plan available of two payments of £75. Repeat as often as needed.
Yorkshire as a forgotten centre of Druid activity takes me from the Wolds to the big city ~ on the trail of overlooked ancestors and the wisdom that awaits discovery in our past.
During a pilgrimage to Glastonbury in January 2024, at a time of crossroads and thresholds, the mythical Brythonic deity Gwyn ap Nudd enters my life.
I share an unusual encounter with crows during a visit to Stonehenge, and consider any meaning this may hold for mankind's connection to ancient sites.
I take a look at the links between goddess deities of native, pre-Roman cultures and the hare in Britain, Ireland and Europe – and why this makes the hare so special.
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. The whispers from a 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.
