Sacred Journeys: S1 Ep2 Exploring Deerhurst & Odda’s Chapel
In this second episode, Kelly and Helen visit the small hamlet of Deerhurst, on the banks of the River Severn, two miles from Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire, UK. It has an amazing Anglo Saxon Church - The Priory of St Mary - and a chapel, built by Earl Odda in 1056 to honour his brother who died in Deerhurst.
The Priory of St Mary c800 AD is one of the best examples of Anglo-Saxon architecture surviving in England today. There is a magnificent Saxon font, an Angel carving and two stone beast heads, believed to be inspired by the myth of the Deerhurst dragon. Kelly and Helen explore these artefacts, and Kelly dowses the energy there.
The two friends then visit Odda’s Chapel, an ancient moment protected by English Heritage. They drum and sing. It is connected to the Whiteleaved Oak, and the perpetual choirs (see episode one), as Deerhurst’s Church and chapel are on line 4 of the ‘Great Decagon’ (there are 10 energy lines emanating out from the Whiteleaved Oak which John Michell called, a Great Decagon).
Deerhurst was an important political & religious centre in the Anglo Saxon era, before the Norman Conquest. But the domination code stretches further back in British history with the Roman occupation. Battles for land and power occurred all over Britain, and there was much suffering and bloodshed, and Kelly intuitively felt conflict and trauma on the land at Deerhurst, which needed clearing. Kelly and Helen were guided by Spirit to be Pillars of Peace, and Kelly channels an important message from the nature loving peoples who tended this land before being slaughtered by the Romans.
