Samhain Planting

I was prompted on the Lunar Samhain, last Thursday, to visit the Cuween Hill Chambered Cairn, on the West Mainland of Orkney. Usually I would take a crystal with me to plant, many such sites having had aqua aura placed to them as a mark of respect to those once buried there, and to enhance spiritual connection and understanding of the sacredness of such places. However, this time I felt very clearly that it was important to visit the site first, before any crystal placement. 

On that visit, standing inside this amazing neolithic burial tomb, at its centre, the energy felt very still and pure. Yet, as I remained there for  a while in the darkness, I felt a prompt to return, on the calendar Samhain with a rose quartz, amethyst and aqua aura. 

When I came out of the tomb and read the adjacent information board, this made perfect sense, for some of those buried there, had been found to have been subjected to trauma to their skulls on, or before death. The combination of crystals given were thus programmed together to release negative held imprints to those formerly buried at the site (amethyst), to veil peace and healing to all connected to that place (rose quartz) and to enhance spiritual connection and respect for the site (aqua aura).

I returned on the 31/10/22 and placed the crystals into the ground to the exterior of the site boundary, asking that their energy be ignited to its centre. On doing so, I had a feeling of those formerly buried at the site, sitting, surrounded by their dogs, in gratitude for this energetic release and healing. Unusually for such a site, some 24 small dog skulls were also found buried in the tomb, alongside the human remains, all dating back to around 3000 BC. It was a very moving experience and standing at the entrance to the cairn afterwards I felt a profound sense of peace and eternal gratitude for the gift of crystal planting and the healing it can bring.
