At the end of last summer I was working closely with the energy of the goddess Quan Yin who is often depicted as pouring out the healing waters of life, love, compassion and peace – qualities I’m sure we can all hear and feel the planet crying out for more of. I was reminded of a legend that had lodged in my mind regarding the nearby Mount Pumlumon (Plynlimon in the Anglicised name). The story goes, according to Liam Rogers:
“High in the Black Mountains, on the windswept slopes of Mount Plynlimon, three sisters met to discuss the weighty problem of what was the best way to the sea – for, being water spirits, they were fond of the oceans. The first decided to take the direct route, and headed westward. She became the river Ystwith, and was the first to mingle with salty waters. The second sister had a taste for landscape, and made her way through purple hills and golden valleys – her name was Wye. The remaining sister decided against short-cuts and it took her 180 miles to reach the sea. The Severn, it appears, wished to visit all the fairest cities of the kingdom and never stray far from the haunts of men.”

I had already followed with great interest the work of Masaru Emoto who has documented extensively the ease with which emotional vibrations and intentions can be imprinted on water, which is a powerful conductor. Emoto was a Japanese author, researcher, photographer and entrepreneur, who claimed that human consciousness has an effect on the molecular structure of water. The photographic results of his experiments are extraordinary and incredibly moving (you can see some here). So I knew that my intention for this water, the fact that the Severn is the longest river in England, passing through or close to many towns and cities and is an internationally important source of domestic water, all added up to the ability for me to exert a far-reaching, positive influence on my home island.

A couple of months later we were travelling to Glastonbury and passing the signs for Weston-Super-Mare I had a sudden urge to walk on the beach. Despite living not too far away as a child I’d never been, and it was a sunny afternoon. It wasn’t until we’d been wandering happily for an hour that I realised where I was – I was at the place where the river Severn flows into the sea! As I smiled a blessing on the waves at my feet, I understood that I had been guided here to complete a magical process and flow that required me to visit both source and mouth of this vital river.
Only yesterday as I decided to write about this, an article popped up on my Facebook feed indicating an unprecedented rise in the recorded levels of Schumann resonance (you can read the full article here). This is an extremely low frequency in the electromagnetic field spectrum of the earth which many believe can be impacted by human consciousness, since the Schumann frequency is said to be “in tune” with the human brain’s alpha and theta states. So no matter how small you may feel or how little significance you may attach to your prayers, your intentions and your heart-felt wishes for the world, know this. These things are just a fraction of the personal magic you’re capable of, and your practical weaving of it creates discernible and even measurable results. You are a co-creator god/goddess my friend, and it’s time to play that role for all you’re worth.
