Heathens vs. Heritage...again!

I’ve just been made aware of some interesting news. My immediate neighbour and fiercest critic Gwen Goodie, (her land backs onto mine), has started her own blog: http://friendsofravenswood.blogspot.com/


Now I’d like to try and explain our relationship. Gwen and her husband George head the action group ‘The Friends of Ravenswood’ and have been greatly opposed to the work I do here (most notably the Ravenswood UFO return last Summer that was the subject of the film). They blame me for the influx of new age worshippers, neo-pagans, travellers, conspiracy theorists and ufologists that have arrived in the village since I bought Milton Meadow a couple of years ago.

Now I want to point out here that Ravenswood has always been a mystical place, long before I moved here. This modern pilgrimage really started with the first ‘Ravenswood Fayre’ back in 1969 when thousands of ‘hippies’ gathered in Milton Meadow to listen to the sounds of Treefall & Clarkwell, The Boxwing Band and Spirit of the Solstice. Since then, the village has become a haven for what Gwen and her supporters would call ‘the counter culture’. I have tried so hard to talk to her about this but she finds it difficult to communicate with me and at times, I have found her seeking comfort from the local Vicar in the Church.
I shall be monitoring her blog closely!

Other news. In July I have been invited along with Amber Chakra, Mike Butter and Oscar Steinman to attend the ‘UFO51 Convention’ in Glastonbury to talk about the Ravenswood UFO event. I’m quite excited about this and a full report will appear after the event.
Also, some interesting developments from PolarityDub Productions with regards to the dowsing tour TV show but I’ll fill you in later about this…I don’t want to jinx it.
All this media attention on the back of (so far) an unreleased film…now I know how Chantelle feels!

Blessed be,
Dom
