Healing with the Land.
Tuesday 21st July 2026. I am still attempting to land back on my feet after a truly magickal road trip up to Scotland. The whole weekend ended up being a divinely orchestrated descent to ascension spiritual initiation, which absolutely took me by surprise 😳.
From the moment I left home on Friday, it felt like I was living in a real-life Celestine Prophecy… the number 88 leading the way and winking at me constantly from every direction, allowing the full-day drive to flow and unfold with ease and little planning. For a bit of backstory: the number 8 is my birth number (1 + 7). I have always associated the number 8 with flowing abundance, and this repeated number has a habit of showing up when I am aligned with my higher purpose. Other than this, I never looked too deeply into it…. (more to come).
The first day in Scotland did not disappoint… My dear friend Jon led the way on a magickal adventure to Yester Castle & Goblin Ha (Hall), an 800 year old castle built by a Warlock and his own personal army of goblins (which was cleverly hidden deep in an old forest!) The whole quest was a wild ride from start to finish… As we followed the path into the depths of the forest the natural surroundings felt very strange and etherial, the path sprinkled with wild raspberries, giving us the most deliciously juicy fairy snacks along the way. Before approaching the castle we experienced the strong presence of elemental energies, either warning us or stepping in to offer us protection. At the castle we offered healing to the souls who wished to be released, and we sang healing frequencies as a clearing for any dark energies that may have been trapped or lingering. To our surprise, the secret side entrance was open, giving us access to the dungeon, which we felt was once a dark ritual space, and we had access to what was know as “The Stairway to Hell.” Steps that descended down to… Nothing but a blank wall. We decided to go down the stairs, we felt that fear would not serve us in a place of such magickal power, and all we felt was a cold, lifeless, otherworldly stillness down there. So much mystery, so much forgotten darkness. We soon left and headed outside to ground and release, connecting with the beautiful tree guardians of the space to support us. Little did we know this was the beginning of a powerful initiation…
The next day I woke up feeling a little worse for wear. My cycle due to start the next day, my energy levels were close to zero, however, in my heart I knew that we must make the visit to Roslin Glen & Chapel. As soon as we arrived I felt a sense of relief wash over me, like the land itself was entwined with an angelic resonance. I was certain that I wanted to take a tour inside.. it felt important to me, so we were told we would have to wait a couple of hours until there was availability. We took our time to slowly meander around the breathtaking magickal realm of the glen. I felt very exhausted and very introverted, taking time to really be still in the present moment. I connected to a tree that invited me to place my first eye on her skin and I was shown that many peaceful pilgrimages had passed through this sacred site as it was blessed with a divine resonance of healing. I instantly felt more clear in my head and more energised. As we continued our exploration I was guided to find a quiet spot to stop and meditate and we found a couple of inviting mossy rocks overlooking the canopy of the lush forest. I connected in instantly. I was shown that the number 8 represents unity in the divine balance of masculine & feminine, and that 88 is the divine merging of two souls in unconditional love (such as Jesus & Mary Magdelene) and that this is an important part of my life journey, but also for all of us as humans. When I opened my eyes I could see and feel the energy of everything around me, breathing and flowing in perfect harmony. After this experience I felt fully energised, all fatigue had dissolved and I felt overwhelmed with a sense of peace, my entire frequency had shifted and so much healing had be received. What a blessing to have had this experience on the Rose lay line ⚘. After our visit to the Chapel, we carried the codes back with us to the camp site and were guided to sit and channel some sound healing songs for peace and unity, which was one of the craziest experiences of my life. Even now when I watch the videos, I don’t yet recognise this newly liberated version of me. What a blessing. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I now understand, through my own embodied experience, the power, potency and importance of pilgrimages of the soul: travelling to ancient, sacred sites and working with the land to both give and receive codes of healing. Individually and collectively. I pray that all souls who yearn for magickal adventure get to experience something like this in their lifetime.
Love & blessings,
