Seagulls Of Scarborough

Beautiful Scarborough in North Yorkshire compares very favourably with St Ives in Cornwall and any of its surrounding towns and villages. True  - we don't say 'Hello maid' or 'How are you lovely? - which is also a Devon expression - but we might say ''Thar's a fine lass' instead!

The seagulls are just as 'seagully' and the landscape is just as hauntingly attractive! Pippin, the pooch namesake of this blog - astral travels to Scarborough in his sleep.

Paranormal Art Film With A Hidden Message From Autumn 2008 - It Is Here!

It Is Here! - is a Paranormal Art Film which has previously been on other websites. It was made in Autumn 2008 and was totally inspired by old fashioned Victorian supernatural stories. The film also contains off the cuff singing and music as it all blends in together. It Is Here, is still meant to show that there are other further dimensions than the more obvious reality of the human mind.

Lammas Witch Coven Celebrations Attended By Pippin The Dog From An Alternative Universe

Our Witch Coven held some delightful Lammas celebrations. Lammas (Loaf Mass) is also called Lughnasadh and is the first actual harvest festival of the year. The coven gave an offering of a special loaf and some beer. Many spirits attended also.

.Pippin the dog is incarnate but when he sleeps he does sometimes goes astral travelling. He is quite adventurous with this and lets people know when he is around with a bark. For those who find all that kind of stuff far fetched - I would suggest reading the books of author and broadcaster Tom Slemen. His most famous works are the 'Haunted Liverpool' series and he is also well known for  another book called 'The Mind's Secrets - part of the UneXplained series. Tom Slemen frequently mentions alternative realities and gives real scientific evidence to back this up. Another good book on this subject is 'The Elegant Universe' by Brian Greene.

Happy Lammas!

Polpeor Studios Through St Ives Arts Club - Cornwall Expression As The Wind Blows

Beach Scene by A.B. © 2016

Polpeor Studios through to Saint Ives Arts Club, not to mention Porthmeor Studios or The Tate - the very many voices of expression echo over time; oozing artistic passion whilst riding the highs and the lows for a momentary pleasure of seeing one’s finished work on the walls of a gallery, waiting to be admired.

So why Cornwall, that mysterious little foot of Britain - out in the sticks and likened to a pigs trotter beneath the head that is Wales? That is how my mother was taught to remember that particular area of the United Kingdom when she was at school.  To a child who had to draw maps freehand, this was a great help!

The same teacher apparently described Italy as a boot and Sicily as the stone the boot was kicking! For reference, there is a Cornwall in New York state area and another in Canada too.

Returning to the British Isles, Cornwall is often remembered for the fact that tarot artist Pamela Colman Smith went to live there.   She had a house near the Lizard Peninsula.  ‘Pixie’ as she was affectionately known, is best described in the book 'Bohemia In London' by Swallows And Amazons author Arthur Ransome, though he actually refers to her as 'Gypsy'.   Her cousin, the actor William Gillette, was the first person to play Sherlock Holmes on stage.

Cornwall would not be complete without a bit of 'Rebecca' or 'My Cousin Rachel' from the famous pen of Daphne Du Maurier whilst Maria Branwell, mother of the Bronte sisters (and Branwell!) originated from the Penzance area.

Pippin The Pooch And His Orange Sunrise Adventures

Orange Sunrise

As Pippin The Pooch slumbers gently in his doggie basket laying on his comfy blanket - he dreams of his space adventures in the Land Of The Orange Sunrise. The Land Of The Orange Sunrise is a world outside of time where anything is possible and there are no constraints or restrictions. Pippin can float through the air and meet anyone he pleases just as anyone who has a liking for him, can meet him too, under totally different conditions to those that apply by day. The Orange Sunrise is a portal between two different stages or sequences of events that are accessed by the Dreamscape World. Pippin already knows this as his astral travelling is quite extensive sometimes.

Carbis Bay Treasures By Railroad Or Highway.

Carbis Bay Postcard

Carbis Bay is about a mile outside the popular and famous tourist destination of St Ives in Cornwall. It is most well known for the 'Carbis Bay Hotel' and the high picturesque viaducts of the railway. Carbis Bay is a tourist destination in its own right as those who live in more build up areas flock to the towns and villages that make up the near end of the Cornwall peninsula, particularly in spring and summer. The are the usual tales of smugglers, French lace, brandy, rum and wreckers, not to mention tin mines, but it is the non-tourist parts of Cornwall or the run of the mill places that don't feature predominantly on postcard that are perhaps the most interesting and hold some of the best kept secrets.

Coamhain (Litha) Midsummer Celebrations

The early morning was overcast and not, unfortunately, what is supposed to be typical June weather but in recent years has become more the norm - coolish cloudy days with a hint of sun and the odd warmer day very sparsely placed here and there over the month. Nonetheless, it was very magickal in the true sense of the word and we very definitely got a feeling of great ambience from nature and the nature spirits around us, as the coven performed our own tribute to Midsummer's Day Dawning, 2016.
