So have been planning my post about the visit to the lodge of the livung stones. But I am not sharing it here till the post is up.
It will cover :
* background of the lodge
* background to the visit
* setting the scene
* Arrival at the lodge rooms
* Snippets of the ritual
*The festive board
* and finally
So keep an eye out on this.
The sketches from the villages suggested it looked like this.
However the slient guardian always watched, never wavering in it purpose. Or did it?
So after starting the day a 5:50 am I now have time to think about being creative.
It is syllables not cymbals
It is provinceitional not provisional
It is fervently not feverishly
For god sake speak louder
It is haitch not Aaitch
It is artificer not artphicer
It is an alarm not a report
It is not how our lodge does it.
Gavel then stand,
It is not just upright as there is a comma,
But most of all it is Israel
Not godamn Italy
Knock knock knock
Footsteps heard walking to the door
The door opened a slightly, and a voice said “Yes?”
“Hello I have come to check your gasmeter?”
“Oh, yes I remember now, do come in.”
The man walked in and the door was closed behind him. He heard the lock being closed and the bolt being drawn across. He followed the man down the dark hall.
Roads are amazing and wonderful things. Sometimes they are physical sometimes mental, metaphysical, concepts. But all lead somewhere, whether good or bad, happiness or sadness.
“All Roads lead to Rome” they used to say but not if you turn left a Alberkerkey.
This road was an old road, it led from the there to …
Well that just it no one knew, many had started on the path. “But few returned to the sun lit lands” Sorry wait that’s a different story, I got hoodwinked again. The old mind is not what it once was, to many tales, myths and stories that I know.
Some are about Great Kings and Heroes, some about Daemons and Gods, Aliens perhaps! Or the Most High – Bingo. Yet again I am of on another road. Not the one I started but a left a the lights and a awaiting for my old pal Ethel the Aardvark to go Quantity Surveying.
Ooops , sorry.
So Great Kings – “well once a king and queen of Narina always a …” Bullocks thats not even my story. Lets try a an old Ninja trick, and not the choking a chicken one, the other one but the Shihan change not the original.

Breathe, so this road was difficult to find but once found and you started on the path, well you have to see it through or well you know the other option.
The road as it begins starts by the pub called “Moon & Star”. This is an old building said to be built from neolithic henge, the heel stone is still in place. If you tap it with the right knocks when the Moon and Star are full well then that is when to begin.
