Pagan Portals - The Awen Alone: Walking the Path of the Solitary Druid

by Joanna van der Hoeven

Your spirit guide stands before you. You bow, reverently. Your spirit guide then asks you the following questions – you answer them truthfully, and from the heart. “What brings you joy?” “Is there a difference between the person you are inside and the outer manifestation?” “What is it that you can do now, to be the person that you wish to be, and can become?” “Do you truly wish to break free of any negative patterns?” “What is that you will plant this season, what dreams will you manifest this spring and how will you do it?” Your spirit guide leads you around the spiral path to the top of the Tor in the light of pre-dawn. As you stand at the summit, you feel the energies of land, sea and sky all around you. You turn to face the sunrise, waiting. You can feel the anticipation of the dawn in everything around you. Slowly the light begins to grow and you feel the corresponding energy within you rise. Finally the sun breaks over the horizon and washes over you. You feel the waves of light and energy flow through you and you are fully aware of the cycle of life. Day follows night, light follows dark. You are aware of yourself within that cycle.
