Our Backyard Sacred Sites

[little david]

i was walking through a field today right next to where i live to a tree that i sit against occasionally. although its ok, the tree's never truely felt like a proper place to go. so i carried on walking down the trail. to my surprise i found a stream that lead off to the right of the trail with loads of trees edging it. right at the end of the trail there is a log laying on the floor. its away from main roads (although there is one around a mile and a half away) away from where kids might come and play and very peaceful. unfortunately it was freezing today and my ears got sore very quickly all i need to do now is learn how to meditate properly, i can never do it at all without thoughts appearing within less than 5 seconds

Sometimes our backyard sacred sites become more sacred as good and wonderful people gather in it. The energy from our Beltane celebration did just that. The positive energy left in our site is still overwhelming, and brings us much joy:

Cool Jingle. I have a concrete front lawn. I'm sort of near an urban grove at least...

I rent a room in a house and right by where they hang the clothes in the back, there's a Chinese/lacebark elm tree. I've been meaning to take time to go outside and converse with it to see what energy the yard holds. There are also patches of tall, uncut grass and from a short skimming about the yard, there's plenty of fall/winter droppings from the trees. I would love to be able to have my own special place to make a circular clearing or stone circle, but for now I just borrow random tree trunks and use them for back rests, LOL!

Our garden is very small but we have made it our special place here are a couple of pic's

White Willow, what a beautiful space you have created!

Thankyou we dont have a lawn front or back but try to have as many pots as we can. However I love the colour the plum slate goes when its wet so its a compromise.

The stones are much better than a lawn, any day.

I have the great privilage of living 5 minutes away from some of the most awe-inspiring sacred sites...Avebury, West Kennet Long Barrow, Windmill Hill and Silbury hil. Not to mention The Swallowhead Springs (next to the long barrow), Savernake Forrest and West Woods.

Everyday, on my drive to work I pass all of these sites and realise just how lucky I am.
