Explore Scotland where we will SEE, FEEL and BECOME ONE with the HEART of the GODDESS! Joan Clark’s SACRED PILGRIMAGE SCOTLAND June 19-29, 2015 Eilean Donan Castle , Glasgow Scotland is a land full of ancient wisdom and magic. From Rosslyn Chapel to the elusive Isle of Skye and the Holy Island of Iona we will immerse ourselves in the alchemy of this sacred earth and breathe in all that it has to offer us on our own individual and collective pilgrimage. Here we take a deeper look at honoring the path of the Goddess with Mary Magdalene as our inner guide and teacher. Fairy Pools, Isle of Skye This is a pilgrimage, not a tour. It is a spiritual journey for those who are being called to awaken, ascend or simply listen to the voice within. There will be individual, as well as group rituals, gatherings and ceremonies, in which it will be important for everyone to participate. We will work with the Goddess Mystery School Teachings™ of Mary Magdalene and the sacred alchemy of scent and fragrance that has been used in temples and holy gatherings for centuries. Isle of Lewis Photo: Callanish Standing Stones, Isle of Lewis Joan Clark’s SACRED PILGRIMAGE SCOTLAND ITINERARY DAY ONE – FRIDAY, JUNE 19 – GLASGOW Our pilgrimage begins in Glasgow, coined “The European City of Culture.” Here the gritty atmosphere of Scotland’s largest city and bustling seaport, are interspersed with art, good food and the easy laughter of friendly passing Glaswegians. We will gather for an early morning meet-and-greet, then begin our journey to our first destination - Kilmartin Glen. Known as the “Valley of Ghosts”, a 3,000 year old ceremonial crowning and burial area which houses many Templar graves. This is where we will begin the first initiation on our pilgrimage. In our first ceremony we will open up to the power of the standing stones and the ancient burial cairns. We will take in the beauty of the ancient past that surrounds us but also lives within us. We will connect with our individual and collective intention for the pilgrimage. In late afternoon we will take a ferry to the Isle of Mull to spend the evening. DAY TWO – SATURDAY, JUNE 20 – ISLE OF MULL The Isle of Mull is often referred to as the “fairest of the isles.” Here we will visit Kilmore Church - which houses the beautiful stained glass window depicting a pregnant Mary Magdalene with her beloved Yeshua. At this special site we will begin our work with Mary Magdalene - opening up to a deeper initiation with her Goddess Mystery School Teachings and the ceremonial fragrances that align with them. If time and tide permits, we will explore McKinnon’s Cave, which was used by hermits and early Christians as a place of prayer, and is also believed to be a place of Kilmore Church faeries in old Scottish lore. In late afternoon we will take a ferry to the Isle of Iona. DAY THREE – SUNDAY, JUNE 21 – ISLE OF IONA – SUMMER SOLSTICE Summer Solstice on the Isle of Iona is very important to this pilgrimage. It is believed that Yeshua and Mary Magdalene visited and stayed a while on this isle. There is a local oral tradition of that visit which states that at the Messiah’s second coming he will be a woman and she will be known by the sign of the dove. We will explore Iona Abbey, St. Martin’s Cross, St. Oran’s Chapel, the Royal Burial Grounds of Kings and the ruins of the Iona Nunnery. On Iona we will encounter and create ceremonies to celebrate Iona Abbey the Summer Solstice while working with the alchemy of the land, its sacred vortexes and the Magdalene teachings. The Isle of Iona has been known as a sacred Isle of the Druids, Culdees and Celtic Christians. Celtic spirituality thrived here and it is most famously known for St. Columba. Iona is often referred to as “The Cradle of Celtic Christianity/Spirituality in Scotland.” If time and tides permit, we will also see the Isle of Staffa and the magical Fingal’s Cave - an entrance into the otherworld. Some say Staffa is a source of female energy and power lines, one which runs through Fortingall in Perthshire to Rosslyn Chapel. DAY FOUR – MONDAY, JUNE 22 – ISLE OF SKYE Fairy Glen, Isle of Skye An early morning departure from the Isle of Iona will allow us to embark on an amazing journey of panoramic views, including: the picturesque Highlander Castle, Eilean Donan and over the Skye Road Bridge, where we will experience the remote and rugged Isle of Skye. Here, we will continue our inner pilgrimage with the GMS Teachings of Mary Magdalene as we connect with the unique beauty, peace and tranquility of the Isle of Skye. Should time permit, we will visit the amazing Fairy Glen outside of Uig. DAY FIVE – TUESDAY, JUNE 23 – ISLE OF LEWIS We will journey by ferry to Tarbert in the Outer Hebrides to the “Stonehenge of the Stornoway North”, the Callanish Standing Stones which date back to 3000 BC. The stones are spectacular and unique, laid out in the form of a Celtic Cross. Known as a moon temple and a place of amazing vibrational energies, we will continue our work with the GMS Teachings as we align with this powerful structure. We will also visit the two satellite stone circles adjacent to the Callanish. We will then stay overnight in Stornoway. DAY SIX – WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24 – STORNOWAY We will explore Stornoway and its sights, experiencing the essence of the Scottish Isle. In the afternoon our ferry departs Stornoway to Ullapool. Upon arrival we will transfer to Inverness where we will stay overnight. DAY SEVEN – THURSDAY, JUNE 25 - CLAVA CAIRNS – FINDHORN COMMUNITY We will journey to the Clava Cairns ancient burial and Initiation Temple, then visit Findhorn for a guided tour of the community and the world famous vegetable gardens. Following that, we will journey through the scenic and dramatic Grampian Mountains and Scone to Fortingall where we will spend two nights. at Pitlochry. DAY EIGHT & DAY NINE – THURSDAY, JUNE 26 & FRIDAY, JUNE 27 - FORTINGALL Located in the very heart of Scotland, Fortingall is steeped in Celtic myth and legend. Central to the area is Glen Lyon, which is 32 miles long and one of the most beautiful and dramatic glens in Scotland. There are many sacred sites all within a 20 mile radius of Glen Lyon which we will visit and connect with spiritually, aligning them to the GMS Teachings. *St. Andrew’s Church. *The Croft Moraig (Field of Mary), a megalithic stone circle believed to date back to 3000 B.C. *The “Praying Hands of Mary”, a megalithic standing stone in Glen Lyon, on an earth energy alignment, or leyline, with the Croft Moraig stone circle. *The holy mountain Schiehallion, which translates from Gaelic to the “Fairy Hill of the Caledonians”, is an awe-inspiring mountain of quartz crystal. Strange tales are told about this “Mt. Shasta of Scotland”. *The famous Fortingall yew tree, the oldest tree in Europe, believed to be about 5,000 years old. Generations have come and gone while this tree remains quietly standing in all of its majestic beauty. *And, St. Mary’s Grail Chapel with its remarkable heraldic mural painted on its barrel roof ceiling, displaying amazing and unique hidden symbolism. In the late Rosslyn Chapel afternoon we will journey through a scenic and dramatic landscape on our way to Edinburgh, stopping at Loch Tay, one of Scotland’s most enchanted lakes. DAY TEN - SUNDAY, JUNE 28 - EDINBURGH We will visit the enigmatic Rosslyn Chapel to explore and meditate on the mysteries of the Magdalene Teachings. This is where we will complete the spiritual part of our pilgrimage. Following this will be a free afternoon to explore Edinburgh, walk the Golden Mile, visit the Edinburgh Castle and more. In late afternoon we will transfer to a hotel near Edinburgh Airport where we will have our farewell dinner and spend the night. DAY ELEVEN - MONDAY, JUNE 29 - FAREWELL We bid farewell to Scotland and give thanks for this amazing experience. Joan Clark’s SACRED PILGRIMAGE REGISTER TODAY!

  • Chapter 27 Our Lyon Family Ancestry

    Chapter 27 Our Lyon Family Ancestry

    Chapter 27 Our Lyon Family Ancestry Introduction Just when I think I have run out of ancestors to write about, I find another really interesting one, and that leads to another few weeks of research. My last narrative was about our Beers family ancestors, going back to Elizabeth Beers (1663-1719), who married John Darling Sr. (1657-1719). Their 2nd-great granddaughter, Lucy Ann Eunice Darling (1804-1884), married Amzi Oakley (1799-1853). Lucy Ann Eunice Darling’s parents were Samuel Darling (1754- 1807) and Lucy Lyon (1760-1836). All of these relationships are detailed in the section of the “Quincy Oakley” family tree that is shown below: In looking at this part of the family tree, I realized that I knew absolutely nothing about Lucy Lyon [shown in the red rectangle in the lower-right of the family tree on the previous page] other than the year she was born (1760) and the year she died (1836). I didn’t even know where she lived (although Fairfield County, Connecticut, would have been a good guess). What was her ancestry? When did her ancestors come to America? Where did they live before that? To whom are we related via the Lyon family connection? So after another few weeks of work, I now can tell her story. And it is a pretty good one! The Lyon Family in Fairfield, Connecticut Lucy Lyon was descended from Richard Lyon Jr. (1624-1678), who was one of three Lyon brothers who emigrated from Scotland in the late 1640’s. In 1907, a book was published about this family, entitled Lyon Memorial, and of course, it has been digitized and is available online:1 1 https://archive.org/details/lyonmemorial00lyon The story of the three Lyon brothers (Henry, Thomas, and Richard Jr.) in the New World begins with the execution (via beheading) of King Charles I in London, England, on 30 January 1649 (although the Lyon Memorial book has it as 1648).
  • Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan

    Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan

    Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan 2011 In 2010 the Ross of Mull (including Pennyghael and Tiroran) and Iona were identified by Highlands and Islands Enterprise as being an area which could receive support through their Growth at the Edge (GatE) programme. This involved supporting an anchor organisation, in this case Mull and Iona Community Trust, to facilitate community growth through the employment of a Local Development Officer and the creation of a Community Plan based on consultation with the local community and a socio-economic analysis. The project is funded by Highlands and Islands Enterprise & LEADER. The document will always be open to suggestions and changes from the community and should not be regarded as being inflexible.

  • SMILEGOV Island Energy Audits Final Project Report November 2015

    SMILEGOV Island Energy Audits Final Project Report November 2015

    CARES Infrastructure and Innovation Fund Project Number P42241 SMILEGOV Island Energy Audits Final Project Report November 2015 Executive Summary Through this CARES project, the Scottish Islands Federation (SIF) has collaborated with Community Energy Scotland (CES) to devise and trial methodology to enable eight island communities to research and better understand their own overall energy use, by undertaking Island Energy Audits. This initiative was inspired by SIF's joint involvement with CES in 'SMILEGOV', a 30 month project to monitor, support and report on island energy developments and plans throughout Mediterranean, Baltic and Atlantic regions of Europe. Community led island energy audits have been completed for Arran, Bute, Gigha, Iona, Lismore, Luing, Mull and The Small Isles, as islands which opted to participate in the wider SMILEGOV project. Two other island communities, Cumbrae and Skye aspired but lacked local capacity to undertake audits. CES led an initial training session for interested islanders in Oban in May 2014 to brief auditors and also provided mentoring guidance and technical advice throughout. Data templates were completed for each participating island presenting details of overall energy consumption. Each audit report is expected to be revisited, revised and updated over time to inform development of strategic energy action plans focussed on each island, to support and empower more island communities as key stakeholders engaged in shaping more sustainable energy futures for themselves. Copies of each audit report

  • Studies of an Aggressive Capercaillie Photographs by C

    Studies of an Aggressive Capercaillie Photographs by C

    Studies of an aggressive Capercaillie Photographs by C. E. Palmar (Plates 1-5) THE FIRST FOUR PLATES in this issue are all of a remarkably aggressive cock Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) which lived in a small wood near the top of Glen Lethnot, near Brechin, Angus, for at least four years up to June 1961. Each spring, from late February to the end of June, it would persistently attack all human beings, most other large animals and even any vehicles which entered its territory during the hours of daylight. The incident has been described in some detail by Jenkins (1962) and the next paragraph is a summary of the main points. This Capercaillie was the only male in the area. It was most aggressive inside the wood, which was some 35-40 acres in extent, but it also readily came out on to the road and a neighbouring grass field. Fortunately the place was very quiet and traffic infrequent, or the bird would probably not have survived as long as it did, for it many times attacked cars, land-rovers and post office and other vans, occasionally even landing on them. C. Crystal, the head keeper, could often summon it by calling or by sounding the horn of his land-rover. When attacking human beings, it would deliver quite hard blows with its wings and peck vigorously with its beak, sometimes even holding on; its nip could be felt through rubber boots. It was so aggressive in 1961 (more so than in i960) that it was necessary to hold it oft "with a forked stick in order to photograph it (plate 4).

  • Lifting Stones of Glen Roy)

    Lifting Stones of Glen Roy)

    CLACHAN THOGALAICH GLEANN RUAIDH (LIFTING STONES OF GLEN ROY) The Clachan Thogalaich Gleann Ruaidh At first glance, these inconspicuous stones may not seem to possess the granite symmetry of the Inver Stone nor indeed the druidical quality of the Glen Lyon stone, however the location and indeed the history of theses stone are truly remarkable. Glen Roy is one of Scotland’s more famous remote Glens in respect that its geology proved the grounding for the proof of a Northern Hemisphere Ice age some 10,000 years ago due to its conspicuous “parallel roads”. These roads are in fact the shore markings of a glacial lake which formed behind a glacier of immense size and the markings are visited almost continually by Geologists continuing the study. To the Highlander of many years ago these road markings were simply the roads used by Fingal when hunting for deer on horseback. The Glen Roy stones are unique in that their location in Lochaber on the west coast mainland make them the first significant historical stones found in this area. Their uniqueness is also underpinned by the fact that Glen Roy was until the 1970’s, the last remaining mainland Glen where Gaelic was spoken by all its inhabitants. Sadly only a few remain and it is from this source that the stone was found. The knowledge of the stones is known only to the remnants of this community which has been passed down through generations by word of mouth. There is no written record which is perhaps the norm for those stones still to be found.
