Sherry and I first set foot on the volcanic paradise of Iceland in 2010. Since then I have taken spiritual groups to experience the power and beauty of one of nature’s gift to humanity. Each year I observed an increase in tourism—many not respecting the land and doing stupid things; some that caused their deaths.
Freyja’s paradise has little regard for stupidity and disrespect. During our first journeys, the West of Iceland, the mystical peninsula of Snæfellsnes, was void of tourist; but not last year. The peninsula is home to Snæfellsjökull – the Mythical Glacier. The Glacier and I have a special soul relationship. It is a powerful chakra and energy vortex—the Heart Chakra of the Earth and one of the great energy centers of the Earth. Supposedly, the Glacier is connected with Mt Shasta and the Keops Pyramid in Egypt—a ley line from the pyramid goes directly through Reykjavik and the Glacier. This ley line is connected with the Orion star system.
In past years we’ve been alone on Snæfellsjökull; but not last year. It saddens me that Iceland seems to be going the way of Machu Picchu. I walked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in 1988 and we were the only ones on the trail. And then we were able to conduct ceremony within Machu Picchu all night long. When I guided two of our Apprentices there in 2007—all had changed. It was now the “Wally World” of the Incas—so sad. And Machu Picchu is not alone. I won’t name all of the sacred places that have been over-run with New Agers and tourists. Two examples are the Tor , Glastonbury, England in 1981, it was only the sheep and us on the Tor; and Tulum, Mexico where in 1987, the beach below, supposedly now rated number one in the world, was inaccessible, except if you knew the Caribbean way into Tulum at night.
Sherry and I are taking a group once again this September—this might be the last time we guide a group to Iceland. I’ll return to Snæfellsjökull. For me it’s like a 16 year-old single malt—one sip and you have to have more.
