The Hero’s journey, Sunday, 8th May, 2022…
She carries their gifts… the dead ones, their souls in hers, more than memory.

Take the pouch of seed-stones and hold them close to your heart centre…
Close your eyes… And place into the seed stones your loving intent for growth… And completion…
And a link to attune with them at will…
And then open your eyes, turn and plant some seed stones close to the standing stone or stones with which you have felt resonance…
After you have done this leave your blessing on the stone or stones…
And then walk to the centre of the circle…
*
After the gestural keys of the Chariot and Lovers our adventurers are given time alone with the ancestors…
*
Let us open the doorway through which all may pass and join together to weave the Web of Light.
At this time, when our word is in turmoil, when the bounty of our planet is being stretched beyond endurance and so many of its creatures face extinction, let us add our voice to the Web that is being woven by Seekers of Light across the earth.
Alone, we can do little, but when hearts come together to work in harmony, we can change the world.
Wherever the sacredness of the earth is remembered, wherever the ancient places are revered, wherever a single heart turns away from fear and hatred to Love, a point of Light is added to the Web.
Let this Circle be a point of Light within the Web.
Close your eyes. Find a place of peace within your hearts… and prepare for meditation.
Let us weave the Web of Light together…
Feel your body, rooted in earth.
Feel the air as you breathe, in… and out… filling your body with its gift.
Your body is a creature of earth.
Your soul is not of the earth.
Your soul is of a finer substance, your life no more than a chapter in its story.
It is eternal… your body a temporary garment that it wears.
Let it fly free…
In your mind’s eye, see the body of the Circle where we stand…
Your Companions are with you, their bodies too relaxed and resting…
Now see the soul of the Circle.
It too is other than its body.
Its stones are a grove of standing pillars in a vast space filled with Light.
Its shape mirrors the universe…
The Circle beyond represents the evolution of your soul… Above the central point imagine a single, brilliant flame that reaches up into the sky.
Follow the path lit by the flame and rise, higher and higher… passing through the sky and out into the darkness of space.
Look back; you can still see your body, perfectly safe and relaxed within this hallowed space and the single point of light that is the sacred flame…
…Turn now and rise higher… higher still.
Around you, the stars wheel in the heavens, bright points of dancing light against the indigo sky.
The land spreads out beneath you, a living shadow that reaches as far as you can see and beyond…
From the central light, silver flame spreads, pulsing, across the earth in a great web of light.
Where the threads cross, you know that stones have been set, groves, mounds and pools… places of worship…sacred centres like our own, harmonising the flow of cosmic Life and Light.
You are part of that web, part of its warp and weft.
You are a tender of the Flame.
Feel the life of the earth coursing through its strands… and through you.
Give yourself to its glory.
See the web blaze bright and clean… burning away all shadows, healing all rifts and lighting the land.
Within you, the flame also burns…
Its essence is a steady point of brilliance in your heart, small as a seed, but vast as the universe.
You are its guardian.
Now slowly, gently, return to the Sanctuary of our Circle, carrying the vision of light within.
Return to your body… meld with it once more…
Allow yourself to feel… your chest, rising and falling as you breathe… your feet on the earth…
And then… When you are ready… Open your eyes… And this guided visualisation… Is over.
