Heavy Horses and Orgonite

With the weather being so bad we didn’t do the things we planned this weekend.

I wanted to go to the Beltane Festival at Butser Ancient Farm like we did last year but it was drizzly and they’d changed the times so that the Wicker man burning started at 9 instead of 8 o’clock.  I know that doesn’t sound like a big deal but when you’ve got a temperamental toddler and 2 boys who with short attention spans that hour becomes the difference between hanging on to sanity (just) and getting yourself thrown into the loony bin.  I opted for temporary sanity.

So Paul and I celebrated Beltane by picking up bits and pieces to make orgonite.  This has been a spirit led project and in the way that only the universe can weave and entwine we’ve gone from rune research to finding out about this orgone stuff.  Well, orgone is just another name for chi, prana, universal life force etc. An Austrian/American chap discovered a way to generate and enhance orgone by building devices using organic and inorganic matter.  He also used it to make rain.  Anyway, with the internet being such a wonderful place for instructions (I fixed my tumble dryer recently by finding instructions via Google!!) Paul and I made our own orgone generator devices.

Here’s mine:

Paul made the big one (I told him size doesn’t matter but he didn’t listen to me lol) and the other small one is mine which I think I’ll put in the car.

They were fun to make.  I’ve tested them with a pendulum to see if they do give off energy and, if my dowsing skills do me justice, they really do   I’m going to be testing out my little hand held orgone device over the next week or so.

And today we’d planned to go to Corfe Castle as they had a Viking and Anglo Saxon re-enactment thing going on.  The weather was not on our side again so we ventured nearer to home.  There was a Heavy Horse parade at Southsea common which I really enjoyed (kids not so much).  The horses are so beautiful and it makes me sad they’re not used for work anymore (with the exception of Wadworth brewery who still make deliveries with their Shire horses).

And don’t you think this man looks a bit like Basil Fawlty?
