July 27 Friday Day 5:
View the White Horse cut out of the turf on the upper slopes of Uffington
Castle near the Ridgeway. It is 374 feet long and some say that itrepresents
a Celtic god or tribal symbol. Others, however, maintain that it is a portrait of
the dragon slain by St. George on the nearby Dragon Hill. We proceed to
Wayland's Smithy Long Barrow, situated on the Ridgeway not far from the
Uffington White Horse. After a short walk, we will experience the Neolithic
long barrow dating back 5500 years. Four huge upright stones guard the
entrance to the burial chambers. Waylands Smitty rests in a delightful grove
of beech trees, a peaceful place to rest on a fine summer day and meditate
with Marilyn. Overnight Parklands Hotel.

| Where did Excalibur come from? "Excerpt from Sword of Avalon" Fallen to earth in a falling star, a clap of thunder, a great burst of light; dragged still smoking to be forged by the little dark smiths who dwelled on the chalk before the ring stones were raised; powerful, a weapon for a king, broken and reforged this time into the long leaf-shaped blade, tooled and annealed in blood and fire, hardened...a sword three times forged, never ripped out of the earth’s womb, and thus twice holy.... |
July 31 Tuesday Day 9:

| England Mists of Avalon Crop Circles and Sacred Sites July 23 - 31, 2012
Finbarr Ross |
| Merlin, King Arthur, Avalon, Goddesses, Druids, and the standing stones... all of these are synonymous with the sacred lands of England. Mystical, magical ancient places where legends lived and their history and stories are still encoded into the land. We invite you to embark on a journey of adventure, of inner and outer self-discovery and divine inspiration. From the days of the Earth-centered religions of the stone circles, through Celtic, Druidic, Arturian and Christian times, people have come to these sacred places to remember their soul’s purpose. Personally experience Crop Circles from the air and from the ground. Visit mystical Glastonbury, the Chalice Well, and the mysterious Tor. Explore the English countryside as we visit the revered sites of Stonehenge, Avebury, Woodhenge, Old Sarum, Salisbury Cathedral, Wayland's Smithy Long Barrow, the White Horse at Uffington Castle, and Silbury Hill. Experience the perfect mix of the magical and the mystical as group facilitator, Finbarr Ross, leads you in rituals, meditations, channeling sessions and ceremony within these ancient sacred sites. The evolved wisdom she will share will forever change your view of who you think you are and give you a more expansive view of your world. |

July 30 Monday Day 8:
Today, we experience Wells Cathedral and the three stone circles of Stanton Drew.“Stanton Drew is part of a
sacred landscape pattern with centers at Stonehenge and Avebury.Neolithic people noted the lunar cycles and
attempted to link the journey of sun and moon so as to determine the heavenly patterns of the universe. The
time of the Full Moon nearest to the Winter Solstice was considered to be significant by them. The Moon then
being in Cancer, the sign she rules, the female powers would have been particularly potent. The locating of
Stanton Drew so near to water would also enhance this feeling. When the Full Moon that falls nearest to the
Summer Solstice occurs a ceremony of initiation takes place. Vast fires blaze, as the initiate is led blindfold
across the river to the entrance of the N.E. Circle. There the guardian of the stones issues a challenge before
they may be permitted to pass any further. Each ring is screened from the next so that they must pass through
a veil before gaining the next stage of understanding. Aware of the decorated posts, hung with garlands and
the dancers who line the way, they follows a spiral path getting ever closer to their goal”. Gordon Strong - The
Sacred Stone Circles of Stanton Drew.In the late afternoon we travel back to Marlborough for our final night
and farewell dinner.
