A very Special Yew!

-

Me and wee betty have took ourselves on a bit of a spiritual quest retracing old steps that led me on the path im on now. 

Last night I went again to find the Ballyconnel Yew tree in Annagh forest which for the past couple of times I couldn't find it, this is the most odd and unique location for an ancient tree which no one in the town really knows about it, its hidden deep in the forest surrounded by brambles and blue bells said to be between 2000 and 5000 years old! 

First time I went looking for it many years ago I asked everyone walking by do you know where it is, no one knew a thing, then this little man with a big staff comes out of the mist as it was really early in the morning saying to me, can I help you with anything, I said yes do you know where the special yew is, he said he does and said if its your lucky day the tree will reveal itself to you and give me brief directions and off he went back into the mist saying Mickeys my name btw, it was one of them weird experiences after where I was thinking did I just meet a leprechaun! 

I found the tree that day and felt something from it, its location for me was telling me that it really doesn't want to be seen, maybe it only does reveal itself to who it wants too! 

After that I had went back 2  -3 times and couldn't find it, the other times I had company though but last night it was just me and wee betty and I never seen anyone anywhere on the whole walk through the forest to find it!

It was a really sunny warm night walking to look for it and I found the special yew this time! 

I sat and meditated under it for a bit and just as I was walking away thunder roared from the sky and the rain was pelting down as I was deep in the forest! 

So much so that the whole forest floor was flooding, rivers began to appear up too my shins, at first I tried to take cover and then I just walked through the rivers of water with wee betty near swimming at times and imbraced it!

I thought to myself it was Indra, God of thunder making himself known! 

It was one of them experiences I'll never forget! 

I never bring my phone when I go and do things like this and so glad I didnt, it would have got destroyed. 


Anyhow onwards for me and wee Betty, whats really weird is where I'm going tomorrow is a really old neolithic site,  one of the oldest in the world and it just happens to be Beltane which I had no idea, sometimes energies just guide you!

  A bit about me and how I became the phantom planter. I grew up in a Loyalist housing estate in Belfast, my father a Protestant and my mother was a Catholic from Ardyone, that had big complications here in Northern Ireland but I always knew I was a mongrel, a bit different! My dad was a delboy ( a buyer and seller of everything and anything) and from I could walk he had me a mini Delboy, from selling round the doors to off loading lorry loads of bootlegged cigs and booze straight in from Andorra, he had me street trading and playing part in his delboy tricks to help him sell his dodgy goods! I learned fast how to make money and school for me was my business, I had more money than the teachers, my dad would have stocked my bag up at lunchtimes for me with more of his dodgy goods, perfume, tobacco, clothing, all sorts I had in my bag, even sold some of my goods to the teachers! When I left school I was financially embarrassed for a small time, 1000 pupils to me was 1000 people with a po

From Spain to Belfast Phantom Planting!

  Phantom planted another apple tree yesterday with my big glaswegian pal who is over visiting! He couldn't believe the size of the orchard now! Last time we planted a tree was years ago in Spain, 2 plum trees we phantom planted out there, sadly they didn't survive but we had great fun doing it in the lashing rain right outside the Buddhist Stupa as you can see in one of the pics, an offering to the Buddha was my intention! I was at the worst of my addictions back then, used to visit this Stupa a lot for spiritual guidance, really found myself out there, spent a lot of time in Spain soul searching, taking advantage of the cheap winter flights and free stay! I had my last ever pint at the airport after praying at this Stupa, the Buddha responded to my offering I believe! Pretty magical really, faith in a higher power guys, that did it for me, there's more to all this life, more to all this all this world! "Those who don't believe in magic will never find it"..
