will enter a deep meditation and leave hisphysical body behind in the village, divingdeep under the water with his astral body.His goal is to locate and placate the goddessSedna. To do this he will comb her long hairuntil it becomes smooth and calm, just like theseas above. This is a very ancient myth fromthe northern cultures and it is a clearillustration of Valiente’s point about the innerworld being reflected in the outer.These concepts and tools are also deeplyembedded in contemporary North Americanculture. Our homes are referred to assanctuaries, meditation is utilized as a tool forpersonal challenges like weight loss andsmoking cessation, visualization techniquesare becoming part of the healing process forsome medical conditions. And then there isTV, personally I think that the Inner Realmsand astral travel are at the heart of thatubiquitous blue box known as The Tardis. Forthose who do not follow Dr. Who, the Tardisis his time machine. On the outside a plainblue British ‘Bobby’s callbox’, on the inside amagnificent and spacious vehicle in which TheDoctor travels through time, and space andacross realms on his adventures. I wonder ifan argument could be made, or perhaps hasbeen made already somewhere, that Dr. Whois actually about a spiritual quest.

When we look at him as teacher fromthe stars, we understand the stories on anotherlevel in which time does not exist.‘Idylls of the King—TennysonAs a practicing Druid, the Arthurian traditionof the British Isles has been one source of mytraining and study over the last twenty-fiveyears. These stories were told to me by myfather, long before I could read them.
