#84 Cradled by Your Love; Running Away to Satine the Beacon Tree

to cosy up him and I've sat here and it rained for a bit I just pulled my hoodie up over me and sat here in the rain and now it's really sunny it's very windy as you can probably hear I can hear a lawnmower going again who stopped when it was raining a lawnmower might come around and I'll have to be quiet because it's the landlord of the area and he doesn't want people sitting in the tree climbing the tree because of insurance reasons but i love being up this tree uh i had a bit of a funny night last night where i um i just didn't get much sleep and just woke up feeling grumpy you know and you just feel like i'm peopled out i feel really peopled out today and so i have come and sat in this tree like kind of getting a hug from sort of like a mother she is a mother there's lots of other oaks surrounding us that are her children and i hope she stays and carries on growing she's she's so comfortable to sit in i've been sat here for hours and i'm still really comfortable and It's a really special place, this.

It's the energy line of Sark.

I mean, I'm sure there are other ones, but it's definitely the strongest one.

So this energy line runs down the valley that has pulled me and Dizzle into it to live.

It's Port de Moulin and it has the monastery built in it.

So the monks were obviously feeling the vibe as well and came and built in this valley and then earlier than that it was the site of a neolithic dolomite mine and the axe heads of the dolomite uh that's here have been found all over france and normandy so we were trading with normandy and making axe heads from the mine that's here vikings used to come over and raid the place which is why the monastery ended up closing and then a monk no a pirate called eustace the monk lived in the monastery and uh yeah used to run his campaigns from here because it's a nice little route down to the shore but it's quite a secluded bay good for skinny dipping and yeah it's a really special valley this valley it's full of ghosts and life and tree spirits and fae this little glade where sateen the mother tree is is a real fairy glade and i've climbed her and and seen that the runes that me and the girls put in the nooks and crannies in this tree for the uh ostara immersion weekends at easter time are still here i'm looking at them now and it's nice that they're still here it makes me happy and the rune that i put in here was be strong the strength rune which was the rune I pulled at the end of my pilgrimage.

And it's not just about being strong, it's about being absolutely at ease, finding real ease in your body, in your spirit, in your balance between the masculine and the feminine, like all of the things, being completely balanced, harmonious.

And what an incredibly powerful and strong place that is to be.

And yeah, it's nice to be reminded of that.

I don't feel it at the moment just because of everything that's been going on in the last 24 hours.

I've been feeling kind of beaten down a little bit and just done in.

And so that's why I've come and set up this tree.

And it's nice to be reminded that I've had moments where I feel that powerful and I feel that strong.

And how that, you know, this too shall pass.

All things pass.

And there's cycles within cycles.

There's lots that I'm really happy about at the moment.

It's not like it's one thing going on.

I feel very good in many ways, but I'm also feeling a bit meh about a few things as well.

But the sun's just come back out.

It's a very tempestuous day.

The birds are pretty quiet.

There's a bird I keep hearing and I put on my Merlin app and found out it was a chaffinch.

So you might hear the chaffinch in the background.

And I've been visited by a bumblebee and a red admiral and another butterfly that I don't know what it is.
