I travelled to Orkney with a dear friend in 2009. It’s an incredibly magical place; one I’m sure I’ve lived at least one life before. At least, that’s what one of my guides tells me.

So I was thrilled tonight to join Philip Carr-Gomme’s “Tea with a Druid 146” and find this brilliant Druid leader introducing a new and wonderful book about Orkney. Just hearing Philip talk about the book and closing my eyes to take in the author’s deliciously poetic language during meditation inspired me to buy the book. And I have! A Christmas present to myself!

The book is called This Old Golden Land: an alternative Orkney guidebook for spiritual seekers, mystics, and pilgrims. It’s Indie-published and comes direct from the authors in Orkney.

If you’ve never been to Orkney—it’s a ferry ride from the northernmost tip of Scotland—I suggest you visit when the circle turns and we are once again traveling through this beautiful planet we call home.
