SUMMARY:5 Springs Pilgrimage
DESCRIPTION:Nestled in the valley beneath Bratton Camp\, once home to the Iron Age Dubonni tribe\, a number of springs issue forth from the chalk and greensand. What significance might these springs have held to the Celtic tribes? \nDrawing on archaeological research\, this will be an exploration of the sacred landscape. We will walk in the footsteps of those Celtic ancestors\, and echoing their veneration of Springs and Rivers – a recognition of the sacred power of water\, we’ll perform a short blessing at each Spring. \nWhat is the difference between a Walk and a Pilgrimage? Primarily\, it is about intention: walking the old tracks becomes a spiritual act when walked with intention – by doing so we help to preserve and strengthen those ancient songlines…….the Earth re-awakens to our heartfelt care\, and we are healed in return. \nWhilst led by an experienced Druid Ceremonialist\, this is an inclusive walk\, welcoming of all faiths and none. If you wish to step aside and quietly observe the Blessings rather than take part\, please feel free to do so… \nWe’ll also visit the infamous Bloodstone\, where it’s reputed Kind Alfred’s army beheaded the Danes at the Battle of Ethandun. If time\, there is the option to visit Edington Priory.
