When one has communed with the forces of life, especially at a sacred site, it often has the effect of evoking some form of creative art. A friend of mine painted a most beautiful psychic picture after one such meeting.

It is unfortunate that most of the well-known places are now out-of-bounds for such activities. Stonehenge, Arbor Low and the Rollright Circle are now inaccessible as the Ministry of Works have had to erect fences and barriers around them because of the vandalism in recent years.

The Rollright circle was a regular meeting-place for witches right up to the present day until a group of teenagers set fire to one of the stones. Now admission is confined to certain daylight hours.

Speaking of the Rollrights, I have found from experience, that the group of stones known as the Whispering Knights often give answers to your questions. These are received psychically, of course, yet 'speak' they do, and in very down-to-earth terms, while their atmosphere is quite unique.

It has been suggested that originally they had a capstone, and the structure was used by the local seer, which would account for their receptiveness. Of course, the approach to these stones must be one of complete faith and reverence, any offering being given in trust and love.

It was during a drive in the same district that a friend took me to see a long barrow. The burial chamber had long fallen in and it was surrounded with bushes and bright yellow gorse. We walked round it and I suddenly saw a figure which had been drawn in the light, sandy soil. It was of human proportions, with what looked like a wide-brimmed hat on its head. The face was etched in a smile, and we were surprised to see that it was an hermaphrodite, with a phallus and female breasts. Nearby, we found,some twisted ears of corn, which had been bent towards the figure and were wedged between stones to keep them firm.

We deduced it to be some kind of fertility magic, for the figure had both male and female attributes. This connects with some statues of the Old Gods, who were depicted in the same way to represent the duality of the Godhead. There was also the hat, which was similar to the one worn by the Magician, in the Tarot. Among other things, this card equates with Aries, the beginning of the Tide of Activation (see Tides). Our assumption may, or may not, have been the correct one, but this discovery shows the continuance of magic in the heart of rural England!
