Solar Eclipse

We had the gift of returning to Orkney on the 8th of August at the peak of the Lion’s Gate portal, staying until just after the solar eclipse.

For those of you who have been reading this blog for a while, you will know that we lived in Orkney for over 14 years, during which Crystal Earthworks was also based there.

Our return at such a key energetic time felt to be divinely orchestrated, and I was prompted to do some key energetic work, and further crystal planting, in the vicinity of the Ring of Brodgar and Stones of Steness complex on eclipse day.

These are four of the eight scolecite shards placed, and are the culmination of much energetic work to this site over the years. After I completed the work a visitor kindly offered to take a photo of me amongst some of the stones which felt very beautiful.

Although the evening was cloudy we did have the occasional glimpse of the eclipse and its energy felt very moving and powerful, such a gift to have been present for  this event in Orkney.
