There's a colony of gnomes that frequent north Florida, near to and on the banks of the Suwannee river, at a place called The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. The place hosts music festivals, several each year, and they are an experience that is hard to describe. You can go and stay on the outside, hear the music and see the crowd, smell the campfires, but there's also a threshold you came enter through if you can let go. There's a powerful energy to the place that magnifies and reflects the energy you bring. It can be an amazingly beautiful place that you'll never want to leave and will forever find your way back to, or it can be horrifyingly traumatic. It's really up to you. I married my wife there, in front of that ancient river and it's children the live oaks. If you ever make it to this side of the pond you would be most welcome there.
Absolutely mesmerising! Love your physicality as a teller, your slightly unhinged chuckle and the depth of your respectful scholarship. Hurrah for you :)
It facinates me how similar folktails and stories are all over the world. In Norway we have the Hall of the Mountain King, described in Henrik Ibsens play Peer Gynt, you would make a great Peer Gynt. There are lot of stories of the King and his people living in the mountain. They would lure folk into the mountain, and those who would come back, would never be the same again. When somone was missing, and they suspected he or she was taken by Huldrefolket, the way to get them out of the mountain was to ring with the church bells. Thank you for another story told so vivedly.
In all the madness of the matrix - some light & positivity & happiness appears in the form of a story from the beacon that is the story Crow - thank you
I found your channel very recently and it brings me much joy. I love your storytelling, your mischievous twinkle and your generous sharing of knowledge.
So glad to have found your channel . Love your style of storytelling and I’ve learned so much about the trees x the internet needs more of story crow lore
Wonderful story, thank you! I love catching the feeling of a place. The vibe, if you will. I haven't been to Hackpen Hill, but I could feel the curious unease, the whispers of it in your story.
Yup this realm is a simulation, a school for souls,.. Earth as school is the hardest place to experience.. Multidimensional beings we are... Portals to other worlds.. Thanks for your storytelling 😁🤗
Superb, absolutely superb tale-weaving Sir! Listening to you is always a great pleasure and provocation to thought. The hind is a great motif isn't it? Feminine, fleeting, powerful, dangerous... something men hunt for but at risk of their own destruction - the Ceryneian hind of Artemis, and that wonderful poem by Thomas Wyatt which might be about Anne Boleyn or something more metaphysical and moody like searching for your fate. Or trying to catch up with that dream you had on Hackpen Hill... Totally alluring storytelling, can't thank you enough for all these treasures!
i heard my GreatGrand Uncles on my Dad's side were Sheep herders in New Mexico. They homesteaded the land under a Civil War land grant. I don't know if they were both drummer boys [but it makes a good story]. Their only neighbors were the Ute Indians, who befriended them. They would shear the sheep and sell off their wool every year, and come back to Chicago, see the Family, buy supplies and squander the rest. They died from the Spanish Flu in 1918. My Dad inherited the property from his Father, and I've gotten it from him.
Thank you for the story! I occasionally have prophetic dreams and those are the only ones that I remember perfectly. The events in the dream always happen within the next several years. The spirit world has an interesting way of communicating with us: sometimes it is direct and sometimes it is not. Your story reminds me of a book I had as a child relating tales of elves, brownies, fairies, mermaids, and leprechauns.
Wow! Sounds like he was tripping on lsd, lol...Love it when you say u r a wiltshire man (land of my ancestors)..The 1st time I saw Salisbury Cathedral, I almost fell to the ground in awe..Keep up the great work, keeping it alive!!! (all that seem a dream within a dream..Poe) Blessed Be :)
I love your integration of sound effects in your stories. You remind me of C3PO in Return of the Jedi regaling the Ewoks with heroic tales, perfectly mimicking the roar of TIE fighters or the labored breath of Darth Vader.
What a fascinating tale! Your delivery was excellent. I could not help but think how starkly this tale seems to underline all of the paramount aspects of Germanic pagan, or more broadly Indo-European pagan lore: barrows serving as liminal spaces which are also associated with elves (the blessed dead, rather synonymous with fairies); a journey through that liminal space into the world of the dead (the part about the meadows and sunshine made me think of what the Anglo-Saxons called Neorxnawang); dreams being associated with the dead (Germanic pagans used to sleep on barrows to receive prophetic dreams); serpents and dragons being of the underworld and dogs being psychopomps (mentioned as being represented in decorative carvings within the mound in a fashion reminiscent of Germanic and Celtic material culture), barrowfire and more. To think you also received dreams whilst sleeping there is very interesting considering the association of barrows and the dead with dreams! Next time I'm on the Ridgeway, I'll see what happens if I sleep atop that lonely hillock.
Excellent comment. Yes, often have strange dreams sleeping on barrows. A druid once told me which ones to sleep on and which to avoid, but I forgot - they definitely do give different types of dream. Cheers
@TheStoryCrow Ah, the man himself. Thank you! That piques my curiosity.. I wonder what kinds of dreams? Or perhaps I'll find out if I watch more of your videos. I'm new today to your channel. Burial mounds really make my imagination run wild. Could a dwarf be present to give the locals nightmares? Or perhaps a revenant was interred within. Or is there a possibility of getting a glimpse of beautiful elves long awaiting offerings of libations from the locals? Maybe that has something to do with what the druid said haha
Wonderfully narrated... thankyou. Serendipity is strange...only a couple of hours ago I was researching John Aubrey, and thinking I'd like to look into his folktales 🤗. Interesting man 😉...his Oxbridge education opened a lot of esoteric doors. I suspect he might have visited Ambrose's underground realm, without the need of hallucinogens 🤔
And that's what happens when you eat the wrong (or right) mushrooms! Ha ha ha, wrote this before I watched to the end. Love the Ridgeway, have spent many nights up above Avebury in my truck.
@@TheStoryCrow I took mine up onto the Ridgeway. Not supposed to stop but no one says anything so long as you're not there too long. It's the idiots wo stay forever & make a mess screw it up for everyone else. Same on the Drove.
Must be countless examples down the ages of folk accidentally taking a hallucinogenic. Having an unexpected trip must have been very disturbing, particularly in the absence of knowledgable folk. You reminded me of something I read - someone visiting Temple? Hill, sitting down and having a snooze and having a vivid dream, maybe of Jerusalem? I can't remember the details but it made a big impression.
Thank you for your storys they have been something i look forward to since i found your show. I live on Vancouver Island bc in Canada and the first Nations here also have stories of little people and other similar phenomenon. There are sacred places around here that also have incredibly interesting energies, and few places to be avoided as well. Thank you for your content.
Ah, somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit. Love the First Nations folklore and always amazed how much of it resonates with my part of the world. Thanks for watching and for the comment too ☺️🙏
Long live the bards! Keep telling tales, and we'll keep eating them up. Who knows, perhaps some of us will tell these tales to others, who will tell tyem to others, who will remember them to their grandchildren long in the future, to a different world and new ears... and connect the old to the new.
Songline of the Ridgeway video coming soon folks. This is a teaser. I'll drop iut on patreon first. Watch out for them fairies! patreon.com/TheStoryCrow?
Could have been Ergot mould on his wheat? But don't these things allow access, open our minds to other realities (or realms) It could be dismissed as hallucinations or did he see and experience the other side.
I love the way you tell your tales! You're awesome dude!
Cheers mate ☺️👹✨🍄
Just found you , brilliant story ,could picture a group of children sat cross legged in front of you , i could listen to you all night ❤

Haha! I remember that bit in return of the Jedi! Hilarious 😆
Love this one. Sounds like an inner earth experience.
Does doesn’t it ✨
or he ate some mushrooms lol
@@Raxfyr Maybe even just touched them with his skin? It's a gateway nonetheless...
Thank you I really enjoyed the story. I have a lot of weird dreams but I've never had one about fairies maybe I will sometime

Yeah, shame they closed the last section… but the park up by Hackpen hill is good. That’s about as close as you can get to Avebury now in a live in

Yesss my friend, pass the tales on ! Blessings on your beards 🙏🍻
@@TheStoryCrow thank you! I have Bragi inked on my arm, so that's doubly appreciated!
Ha! Awesome 🍻✨
I'll have some of whatever Ambrose was on....he sounds like a fungi 😂😂
☝️😉😂
And all of a sudden those “fellows” are saying things to you. 😘
Songline of the Ridgeway video coming soon folks. This is a teaser.
I'll drop iut on patreon first.
Watch out for them fairies!

UAP encounters are the modern Fey experiences.
Get that feeling he has trying to get back 😢😂
I recognise them shrooms that have always taken the knowing to the otherworlds
☝️ this fun guy knows 🍄
🐑❤
🦉
Sounds like he may have consumed some wonky mushrooms, Im thinkin'...😊
I’m thinkin’ you might be right 😉
it sounds like he went to the 4th dimension and saw a bunch of stuff collapse in on itself
Totally
If he was underground how could he see in the dark
🍄 😃
Could have been Ergot mould on his wheat?
But don't these things allow access, open our minds to other realities (or realms)
It could be dismissed as hallucinations or did he see and experience the other side.
Could be!
don't you mean the right type of mushroom?
😉
