You deserve so many more views and subscribers. I have no doubt you’ll get there. Mass exposure on RUclips takes time. I’ve got no doubt your channel will just blow up one day. Your content is great. Especially when it comes to story telling, genuinely one of the most charismatic story tellers on RUclips that I’ve come across
I am living vicariously through you, as it were, by watching these videos. My fate went the way of Wayland, so I doubt I will ever be able to walk the road myself. However, this video has more than sufficed for now until I am able to, in this life or another.
Congratulations on your walk. Epic adventure and thanks for showing the way with all the historical background. Tamsin a fantastic trooper to lug that pack on her back keeping up with you - top effort. Those stones speak volumes about ancient star and earth geometry - geomancy. Sitting around with other travellers strumming away on the home made guitar in these locations transports you into those geomantic cultural festivities. Wonderful experience.
Another excellent episode. Thanks for leading us to a deeper appreciation and understanding of this ancient and enigmatic trail. You have an uncanny skill at finding the best wild camping spots by the way - born of great experience methinks 👍 (**£20** Good luck with wedding plans)
I like your rowan description. I asked for a piece of rowan and made a lovely little stick with the ogham symbol marked into it with a soldering iron. I treasure it. A thought came over me today to ask for other tree bits, I always carry a Swiss Army Knife with a delicious saw and also the humility to ask for cuttings from trees. I live very close to a large woods where I've seen all sorts of lovely trees, in sodden Lincolnshire.
Thank you for shering your and Tamisis journey on the Ridgeway this summer. I enjoy listening to the stories on the places you are passing. 7 Years ago my husband and I wisted our daugther whom was studying to her bachelor degree in England. We made a road trip to Bath, and on the way back to Oxford we saw thrr White Horse, so nice seeing it again.
I only found your channel maybe a month or so ago, I subscribed 5 mins into the first watching. I watched the Yew tree one the other day... and left a comment about when I was born and something my mother mentioned and how I think you answered a confusion and created many, many questions. I was born in 1965, November so winter time and my mother told me how my "mad/crazy" grandfather (her father and a gypsy/traveller) took me and her on a journey were he laid me under various trees and bushes at mere days old, and recited things in Romany. She said it was just his madness. I only found out about this when she pointed out a Yew tree in a local graveyard and said that was the last tree your grandfather did his stupid ritual on you, it was freezing cold and snowing, but he handed you back sleeping warm and dry. I think he took me through the alphabet of trees. He insisted, "This one can never be christened or given to any god." I'm the only member of my family who never received a religious "christening" and remain so to this day. I didn't know this until my 30s and it was only after listening to your journey through the trees I started to maybe, understand what he did, my connection to the earth has always been strong, my awareness and sensitivity to the dirt beneath my fingers has always been strong, visceral even. In life I have been the complete opposite I feel.to you, I was military, I served in Bosnia, Kuwait and Iraq were I was severely injured, spending over 10 years on fentanyl in bed....I'm free of that "evil spirit" now and am finding my draw to the land, the trees etc getting stronger... Maybe, if you know, could you explain the reason behind my grandfather's actions in taking me to many different trees and shrubs at mere days old and insisting I should never be christened... Or was he, as my mother claimed, just a mad old Gypsy?
Wow. Yeah like I said over by the yew tree, that sounds like quite the blessing you were given. I’m sorry about your ten years in the underworld, fentanyl is truly evil stuff. You have emerged now, and the trees will heal and guide you, they always have me. Go well on your path my friend and thank you for your service 🌳✨🙏
A friend of mine wrote a book about that Ley Line and was in a band called the Fluid Druids..odd. We are very much dowsing tools ourselves, picking up on history and energy as you did in that otherwise unassuming copse, adding a pendulum or dragon rods to the equation is like fitting a nib on a pen. I have understood that I am energy sensitive for a while and have used dragon rods as a person would a compass,but now I understand that dowsing tools can be used to answer questions- may be something you pack next time. The original concept for your channel works so well and these pilgrimage vids make for a lovely extra treat- they remind me of my adventures past. That little dog was a right prick by the way.
@@TheStoryCrow They are exactly dowsing rods, just another name for them ,the same as Dragon Lines is another name for energy lines or a type of energy line perhaps. The St Micheal current which goes through Avebury and lots of places with monuments and other dedications to St Micheal and/or the Dragon. This is not exclusive to this line or the UK, further examples can be found internationally along the Apollo St Michael axis which runs through St Michaels mount as does the line you were travelling. St Michael is often depicted standing on the dragon or serpent right, so if we now think Apollo standing on the dragon and earlier the serpent or giant python that lived in the centre of the earth 😉 Love discussing the dragon reminds me of Excalibur and makes you want to fashion a chrome skullcap. I found it uncanny you loaded this vid up in correlation to Michaelmas… you have invoked the dragon, it will determine your path more than you think.
Several years ago me and a few friends happened to be at the White Horse on the day they were pounding chalk into the lines to keep them crisp and white. As ppl were happily pounding, heard engines and looked up to see World War 2 historical flight buzzing the hill (basically using it as a turning point for a flying exhibition that was evidently happening down in the valleys somewhere). Lancaster bomber, a Hurricane and Spitfire. They buzzed the hill several times. Strange juxtaposition between the mythic landscape and the somewhat modern, but was very cool nonetheless.
You know, that exact same thing happened to me! This4 three aircraft frequent local air shows and the horse is a good navigation point I guess. But the very fact that those planes defended the nation, and symbolically appearing above to a sacred landscape also associated with that. Very interesting, thanks for that 🙏
Man you make me want to come check that place out. I love being outdoors and camping like that, hunting, fishing all that stuff. But I don't know of any cool places w that kind of history,and accessible to people like your journey across the ridgeway. Only thing around these parts would probably be some sacred Indian burial grounds. Super spooky stuff happens around those, but most times it's on private property and people can't go visit any places as awesome as that. 😢 I hope some day I will get to come visit the smithy. I would love the experience. Wow! What beautiful country and sunset too. 👍 It was totally the little people messing w you camping in their woods! 😊 Until next time friend.
Ahhh, I’ve always wanted to do this in North America. Yes, greater distances to walk, and less concentration of historic stuff like you say, but I’m sure it’s still there in the Native American dreaming, like you say. And greater wildness. Yeah, just less public access that would be the problem. Plus I don’t know what to forage over there 😂
YOU CAUGHT A SPIRIT AT 5:10. Bottom left corner when you stopped panning right at Ram's Hill Camp. "Shadow Person" walks behind the tree just moments after you touched the coin.
Really enjoying this journey with you along the Ridgeway. Do you mind me asking where you got the Hedgerow Port from? I've tried searching online with no success and it seems like my kind of drink!

Laid up at home with a chest infection but this journey has been the best tonic!

Beautiful video!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 Magical vibes
Aww another gorgeous vlog of the ancient English sites along the Ridgeway. I need to see Wayland's Smithy, what a wonderful place.

Thank you for taking us along, the land of my ancestors! It is very magical there :)
Absolutely enthralling … loved this series of videos, so far, and very much looking forward to the next one! Thank you ❤
Last one coming soon! Well, in a few weeks I expect. Thanks for watching 🙏☺️🍺
I love this so much! Thank you! Hi Nero!! Can't wait for the next one. ❤☘
Nero says hello! Grumble grumble. Wag. 🐕

Your videos are always amazing as are your stories, thank you.
Pleasure, thanks for watching ☺️🙏✨
Very informative…
Very interesting 🍁

She sure is. Thanks for the words my friend, love a spot of geomancy me. It rocks 🪨 🧙♂️ ✨🙏🐦⬛🌳
5:25 the dappled sun is magical!
I know! It was dreamlike in there
Really enjoying this series ❤
That was a real treat. Thank you! And thank you for spending a goodly amount of time at beloved Wayland's.
Lovely!
Thanks for including the guitar timber convo👍

No words. This was just 👌🏼✨🙏✨
Thank you for taking us along with you on our historical and ancient Ridgeway! Many Blessings to you both 💞💞

It really puts you in a more responsive state with the trees eh, eying them up for oghams and asking them nicely for permission 🥰🌳
20:52 ❤ just that....good people in the right places ❤
Love it
Beautiful, thanks
Really enjoying watching your sojourn along the Ridgeway.... such a beautiful time of year for it...

Are dragon rods like dowsing rods?
I’ve not heard that but I like it
Synchronicity Druid fluid!

I bought it in a market town, they were just visiting
I’m sure the brand is on the bottle if you pause it
Was very small batch though 😁
@@TheStoryCrowthanks 😁 Maybe that’s why I can’t find it, it’s all been drunk 😂
✨✨✨✨✨
Enjoy the nature guys but really uncool to have an open fire in wooded area like that. Wonder if you left no trace. 😢
Totally fine to have an open fire in a wooded area if you know what you’re doing, thanks for the concern though 🙏😉 🌳
