This was a spiritual awakening and a half. For a research scientist and manager of a laboratory being opened to
abilities to access other dimensions, feel and see subtle energies, subtle energy barriers and commune directly with nature spirits, in one half hour going from being mono dimensional to multidimensional.
My ‘waking up’ happened while with my friend Joan (who was already well in tune with other realities). Our meeting was not coincidental and we instantly felt a very strong connection. The first three to four months of our friendship was spent having lots of incredible multidimensional adventures. Before I start I should say that although prior to this I had one or two strange experiences (as most others have) none of them could prepare me for this.
Drawn to magical places in the local woods
For many years I was repeatedly drawn to spend time at very specific locations in the woods local to where I lived. I took friends to these places but most seemed not to feel the same ‘depth’ as me which disappointed me to a certain extent. When I met Joan it seemed natural that the first thing we do was to explore these areas so this we did.
The first place I took her to was out in the woods a mile or two to the south east of a small town called Hexham (A small market town in Northumberland). We set off walking through the forest, it had been snowing so there was about an inch covering of frosted, crisp snow on the ground which was just enough to give it that ‘blanketed’ feel and special quietness.
Ancient trackers heightened senses
It was about a two mile walk to my special ‘spot’ following an ancient wall in almost a direct line through the woods until you overlooked the ‘Devils Water’ river and then it was a further half a mile west. However, we were maybe a mile up the walled path when we saw two fawns at which point we automatically fell into silence and started to very quietly track/follow them. As we did this I felt/noticed a bubble of energy fold up around me completely surrounding and ‘sealing’ me. I realized/it felt to me that ‘somehow’ I was within the ‘energy/mode/sensitivity’ perhaps used by the ancient trackers and hunters, I knew that no sound could get out and that to a certain extent the ‘energy’ feeling around me was almost moving me through the woods. My senses also seemed to heighten to a point where I could even smell the fawns that we were following (which was very odd because my sense of smell is normally my worst!!!).
We padded through the wood (way off the path/trail) like this for about 15 minutes getting quite lost away from our original track until eventually (and unbelievably) we emerged from the woods at exactly the place where I would sit.
I pointed ‘the spot’ out to Joan, whom excitedly kept asking me if I could see what it was. Well, unbeknown to me (I had all of the time at that spot) been sitting in the middle of a huge tree circle. It was not only very large in size but it was also made of eight separate rings of trees all centred on the exact spot where I would come and sit.
Tree
Circle energy point happenings
We both then moved into the centre of the ring; to my usual sitting place and Joan got us to hunker down and place our open palms on the ground so that we may ‘feel the energy’ of this specific place. It didn’t take me long to realize that something was not right as I have skied for years and I know the feel of snow, it doesn’t feel warn to the touch – but this is what it felt like in this spot. I was moving my hands to different places around me and feeling the same thing. Joan then asked me if I could ‘see the energy’. Well as part of me was thinking ‘what is she talking about – seeing energies’ I actually did start to see them, they appeared as cones of flame coming out of my hands that then went down into the ground to a depth of about two meters. Again when I moved my hands around the ‘flames/emission of ‘energies” also moved with them.
Then just as Joan is asking me if I can feel what she describes as ‘earth energies’ coming up and into me/my head a huge beam of white light (about head width/diameter) actually comes down from above me, passes through the top of my head then down through my entire body. It zips down my arms, then my hands, then my fingers until eventually about four to five pencil beams of white light are leaving each finger and linking up with all the trees around us. This energy/beam/’light’ kept coming through me for about three minutes, by which time everything around myself ‘appeared to be’ now be saturated with a brilliant white light. It was as if we were very small ‘light’ people standing on a huge light bulb, I could only make out the trees because they had a faint black outline. That was a spiritual awakening and a half.
Meeting some nature spirits
Joan was aware of what was happening to me and could feel the energies. After a while we both stood up and then made to walk away from the centre ‘spot’ and out of the circle. This proved more difficult than walking in as the combination of our own heightened sensitivity and the ‘apparent’ build up of energies seemed to have resulted in very strong ‘energy field barriers’ presenting at the boundary point of each separate circle of trees. We actually had to ‘forcibly’ push our way out through all eight tree rings. Just as we had exited the last one Joan asked me to now ‘look’ back into the centre of the circle.
I stood quietly and let my senses feel and scan the area that we had come from. Eventually (after likely a few minutes) I began to feel/sense a presence there which then gradually resolved into a black knight on a black horse – a huge horse and a huge man. The horse had the full ‘curtain’ livery gear draped over and around it and the knight had a black helmet and black gloves and boots – black everything. I started to describe the man and his horse to Joan in detail.
My first encounter with the nature spirit pan
At the same time Joan was seeing and describing a ‘man’ of medium build wearing a thin chain mail top suit and dark breeches. He was standing tall and was holding point down a huge ‘light’ sword. The point of this sword was right on the energy centre and the real give away as to who he was were the ‘twig’ antlers that he had on his head.
Normally ‘Pan’ is seen as the goat legged, hoofed and horned being playing the pan pipes that was used by the church as the image of evil – very convenient.
After a few minutes we ‘swapped’ and I became aware of saw and finished describing the chain mail man (Pan) and Joan finished describing details of the black knight (this was how it was to be for the next four months – I was never to be given any opportunity to doubt what was happening).
We then had a ‘woman in blue’ appear. As this was happening I was also getting information directly (just coming into my head). So, I knew that the chain mail man was Pan and that he was responsible for, maybe looked after the energy points, while the black knight was a ranger and guardian – he passes information between the nature spirit groups and also seems to protect specific places. The woman in blue is the highest ‘fairy’ form. She is in charge of all the lesser fairies who look after all the plants and vegetation.
The mythical being Herne the Deer Hunter appears
After about fifteen minutes these interactions seem to be finished and we start to walk off down the path, as we did so we became aware of another ‘form’ behind us and to our right. This new ‘form’ seems to be tracking us and it is on a converging path with respect to ourselves – it/he is getting closer and closer to us as we walk along. Eventually he got so close that Joan and I stop, and we turn to each other to ‘tune’ into this form more. As we did this he came forward very quickly and basically steps into/merges with Joan (who immediately ‘appeared’ to put on six inches in height as well as six inches in breadth).
This being/form then directly ‘spoke/communicated’ to me through Joan. Now up to this point I had been OK with all that had gone on, yes I was somewhat bemused/overwhelmed to say the least but in an overall sense I was fine. However this part/development was really frightening – I did not know what had happened to my friend, was she OK? What was happening to her? It was also at this point all the more worrying as I was relying on Joan’s experience and understanding of these realities to keep myself steady.
Ancient wisdom; a ‘Cup of Knowledge’ is presented
So, in a now somewhat ‘anxious’ state, this being/form starts to speak to me through Joan.
I tells me that they have seen me here a few times and that I have obviously been touched by this place (as I came here regularly to ‘feel’ it). He said a few other things which I cannot remember and then he passed me (in ‘energy’ terms) a beautiful half sphere containing liquid to drink. It took me ages to decide to take this (over what seemed like ten minutes, but was probably two) and then it took me a while longer to realize that I had to drink it (I did and it was very cold).
When I passed it back he then passed me what looked like a small dagger – again it took me a few minutes to decide to take it. When I did, he then stepped out from Joan (who then regained her normal proportions/self) which also allowed me to properly see this being/form for the first time. It was Herne the deer hunter (the Being with the dear skin over the back, as well as a dear/stag head over the top of his with huge stag antlers) – this was a huge guy. This is the being/form whom monitors/looks after the nature spirits that look after the animal (in this wood / the local environment).
Joan told me that the bowl was a ‘cup of knowledge’ and that all the nature spirits around fell about laughing when I drank it because they then realized that what they where trying to give me I already knew I just did not know it myself – this greatly amused them.
Commentary: This walk immediately and profoundly changed my perspective on many things. It made me have to chuck many of my preconceptions out. It forced me to restructure my model of reality to include this new information. For example;
- That other energy levels, dimensions, planes or whatever exist (that are obviously none physical).
- That in some way it is possible (and under the right circumstances easy) to see, feel, sense energies and have access to other energy levels/dimensions/planes of existence and be aware of the beings/forms residing there.
- That information could somehow be placed directly into my consciousness without the use of my normal senses (and without having to actually ‘READ/BE TOLD’ something!!!).
- That ‘Nature Spirits’ exist, that they are entirely coherent and can interact and hold their own at least as well as we can. Please understand that I do not believe in the existence of ‘Nature Spirits’. Belief is only required when experience is lacking. They exist whether we believe in them or not. Imagine if you can some ‘Nature Spirits’ sitting around in their tea break discussing whether humans exist or not and whether they believe in us, would we cease to exist because they decide we didn’t? I think not.
- That something much bigger than I had initiated all of this – it was no coincidence – it was a set up. Something had switched on the energy that came through me, and then directed it to the trees. That same something set the whole experience/these encounters up.
- In an overall sense I was quite accepting of what happened. This was most definitely a wake up call in every sense of the word. The alarm clock had gone off and it was not going to fade into the background under any circumstance and in many ways even though parts of me wanted to go and run screaming over the hills I wanted more, this was more interesting than anything else EVER.
In fact the next few weeks, months and even years have conspired somewhat to make this spiritual awakening seem almost entirely normal and mundane in comparison.

I have had and have many interesting experiences that also have taught me that other realities most definately exist. My first was meeting my guardian angel, to feeling sensing and experiencing all sorts.Breakthoughs to other dimensions sound wise; guides entering my body and teaching me; being able to see inside or through people. Still on a steep learning curve too.

Hi Sally, Glad you’re having a good time. I’m sure there is a lot more to ‘everything’ than anyone thinks (or currently presents) and so it’s good to hold to uncertainty AND to keep in mind that perhaps everything we’ve been told or ‘believe’ is ‘not even close’ would probably help quite a lot too . . .
November 7, 2010 @ 11:47 am
I would like to sincerely express my appreciation for sharing your experience. I too have had (and continue to have) experiences similar to what you describe. I like especially what you say about living in uncertainty! …my feelings too!! Thank you!!!
November 7, 2010 @ 12:10 pm
You’re welcome Jason . . . yea, uncertainty rules . . .
March 13, 2012 @ 6:49 pm
I really adore trees, I had a very loving one “open me up” to some very interesting, one could say bizarre, experiences. I’m having a lot of fun!
March 22, 2012 @ 10:16 pm
Even though I know all of these can be possible and also that I prove to my self that there are lots of more dimensions I’ve never experienced by my self, any of them. It’s really sad because I’m always hearing tales based on those dimensional trips.. I would really like to know how to be like you in your awareness.. Any tips please?
April 30, 2012 @ 12:22 pm
We are moving to Wark not far from Hexham and I would love to know where your forest is. We are moving from Devon near the sea. The energy is very different ‘up north’ and I am looking forward to exploring it.
June 28, 2012 @ 5:42 am
You are a very enlightened, blessed Being. thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge. I didn’t know the Ancient Gods are still with us. I thought that, disgusted with all the evil that we humans have perpetrated, They had long since vanished. The next time you see Them, please submit my humble thanks to all Entities of the Higher Worlds for their efforts on behalf of Nature and the Earth. Please also submit my deep gratitude to the Earth Spirit Herself. Hopefully, more of us will be blessed with Awakening and harmonization with the Spiritual and the Material Cosmoses created by the Most Divine.

I don’t know if this has anything to do with your reality walker thing but when i read your articles i felt this inner feeling that this was true the more i read the stronger this feeling got and eventually my ears ringed louder and louder and my vision blurred and one word kept popping in my head “the calling” this word felt like it was within my very being and it felt right and true. this word though at the same time felt old very old and important. i would love to know what it means. please, it feels very important.

A few months ago during a previous lunar eclipse, I went with my friend to an area of ancient pristine forest & creek (some of the oldest in the world in Australia) & after having a beautiful time walking to the waterfall & back, feeling energised & light, my friend wanted to stop & check out a fishing location. Whilst he did that I took out my camera, as I could sense the Spirit presence & felt the high energy. This area had pine trees all around & was a semi-park directly next to the road. The reason I got out my camera is I’ve been doing Spirit Photography for many years now, getting images of balls of light even in broad daylight. My most powerful photos were at this creek we just came back from. Anyway sure enough there were loads of solid white & coloured balls of light where physically it looked only dark (just on dark now) & after getting home looking closely inspecting the photos for any forms or messages as I always do, I spotted this shape up in the sky next to a pine branch. Zooming in a little, it was a being who had a broad wide chest, stoic posture & huge deer antlers!! I looked up on the net & found it was Herne & I am very connected genetically & spiritually to Celtic traditions & English forests. Amazing stuff! This is also just as I made my first house move to a bush are inland where we have many groups of released deer hanging around! I never knew they were in Oz until I saw them on our land! Thank you so much Clive for these sites I love it.

Hi Authentica, glad you’re liking them and can relate to what is here . . .

Hi Clive.
I have been aware of subtle senses but I was also thinking that once a person is able to sense energy, they are able to sense energy from the planets in what is called astrology. In my earlier research however, certain planets energies (like Saturn) some say that it can hinder a person’s subtle abilities when on a bad alignment. I have also learned that so-called light beings can also use ones energies stemming from the planets to manipulate and create problems in ones lives. I have a tendency to manifest things in my life with my mind power therefore, I feel that it is possible to shield oneself from the planets or negative energies.
April 3, 2014 @ 10:06 am
In subtle terms someone (a subtle being) has linked the movement of planets within a physical solar system with the interfacing of subtle beings into a physical body to the exact time of the incarnated forms birth to have a defined physical world experience (likely presented on the glossy incarnation options brochure as giving you an amazing spiritual ‘learning’ experience). So, subtle ‘behind the scenes’ manipulations are applied to manage the timeline of that subtle / physical persons life and their own subtle form persona and characteristics with respect to the pre-defined astrology system being used for that solar systems physical life experiences.
If you convince subtle people to physically incarnate and on doing this you block off their past memories you can by ‘slight of hand’ / beyond & behind the ‘veil’ means have them go along with pretty much anything particularly if you call it a ‘spiritual learning experience’. Easy really . . . .
August 13, 2014 @ 6:25 am
Clive…. Any clue on who the puppet masters are?! I’m still trying to figure all this out I’m making my brain hurt by thinking too much. I’ve gotten to the point where I barely trust my spirit helpers/ teachers… Most of them are ancient shaman types, some are energy blobs with no form… But they don’t seem to rly know exactly what’s up … But they gave taught me how to sneak around management activity such as making me read your sight and helping me cope with my nervous breakdown I had 6 months ago after first being introduced to soul-healer …. Wew! I’ve come along way….

I can relate Jennifer. Its like trying to put together a puzzle but the lid to the box is missing.
October 20, 2014 @ 4:37 pm
I enjoy reading about your experiences, thanks for posting them. Just recently I went on a trip to visit a mountain with a friend, she told me there were gnome element spirits around. This was the first time I had heard of something like this existing. Since I trust her and her abilities, I have started the web to see what I could find and so far your website is the best to help me understand. I hope to be able to see such things since they exist and people have seen them. I wonder why I am not able to though, would a block of some sort exist? How would one know? And how would one remove such blocks? How would one experience such an awakening as yours?
October 27, 2014 @ 9:41 pm
Glad you’re liking it here Joe. It took me 15 years to get access to see things. It probably depends on the person.
June 21, 2015 @ 5:49 pm
Hi Clive,
That article was absolutely fascinating! Wow .. what an amazing experience!
I have had similar ‘other-worldly’ experiences myself in the last year.
I do Bioenergy Therapy [Type of Energy Healing] and whenever I do treatments, most of the time, I get a very, very strong sense of ‘non-physical’ presences very close by or standing a few feet away. They always seem friendly [excepte one occasion] and could be anything … a mist, lights, group of people, 1-2 very tall people, moving lights. I never see anything but the sense of somone else in the room is very strong.
On 1 or 2 occasions, I was convinced that something was going to materialise right in from of me … it was a very strange feeling. There was no materialisation .. that would have really freaked me out!!
One day, I practised on 4-5 pot plants just to see what would happen. It was amazing .. I got a very, very strong feeling of strong positive emotions from the plants, which was almost overwhelming. It was as if the plants were expressing great joy at receiving the treatments .. quite an amazing experience!
August 22, 2015 @ 9:25 am
I would like to experience these things n i want to learn it…..so can someone help me out…! i would really appreciate it! 🙂

I’m so relieved to have found your website and to read about your experiences. You’ve filled in some gaps for me! I have also been presented with a cup of knowledge but member of the far. Can you please explain to me what this means?
October 29, 2017 @ 1:22 am
I just came across your website. All of my life i have been drawn to stories of elves, fairies, dragons gnomes and anything “magical”. I have always “believed” that all these beings exist and feel a strong pull towards these entities. I feel i am close to that “awakening” and i appreciate the information you share on this site

I have had very scary experiences when I was a kid, so scary I can’t even remember then well, I had no siblings so I usually slept alone in my room, one of these experiences that really scared me is; In my room the lights are turned on while I go to bed, sometime in the middle of the night I wake up (just opening my eyes while lying on my side) and realize that standing close to my head is what seems to be a ‘man’ whose skin is fair, he seems to be wearing linen clothing and is so tall, he just stood there not moving, so still, so quite, but I could feel him just looking at me intently. So pretending not to notice ‘him’ I cover my head with my pillow and tried to look at his face, but i could not, it was as if i was trying to look at the sun, even his very presence was like very bright eye blinding light, but i could not see any light, only the light of my room’s bulb saturated the room, it was like i felt the effect of the light on my eyes but I could not see the light , I just can’t figure out why, I was so scared that after that day I couldn’t sleep with lights turned on.
August 10, 2020 @ 3:41 pm
Mmm, hi Stan this sounds like maybe a ‘subtle’ friend or spirit form i.e. the presentation of a none physical form being, I’ve had a few other odd experiences that were similar. Actually, have a read of this page as this is directly equivalent to what you describe: (it’s another page on this specific site) here.
