As we have been doing for many years now (45+), we work with the great myths of many lands, in landscapes associated with the myths. Although we have visited and worked with many landscapes in different parts of the world, Europe is our particular focus. The great European myth is that of Dionysus, with symbolic images of the Bull and the Swan which have a landscape representation as well as being represented in the sky.

Taurus is the Latin name for the Bull, and the constellation of Taurus is the Alpha sign of the Zodiac—the first of the twelve signs of the Zodiac that ushers in the new Great Age. This is the zodiac sign that the world is entering into right now, as marked by the retrograde position of the midsummer Sun in the sky. The adepts of the mystery schools always used the solstice Suns as the markers of time, as they are more accurate than the equinoctial positions of the Sun.

Taurus rules the throat, and it is the throat that sounds the creative Word. In other words, the zodiac sign of Taurus that we are entering into now, according to the position of the midsummer Sun, is already starting to sound its Word and create all things anew—evolving, transforming and transmuting old patterns so that a better, more evolved world is the result.

Europe was named after the myth of Europa and the Bull by the ancient seers, as they saw that mainland Europe had the shape of a bull, rising out of the Black Sea and flying over the Mediterranean Sea. On its mighty neck and shoulders they saw Europa manifested as the British Isles, the Blessed Isles of the Hesperides, equivalent to the Pleiades in the sky. As the good version of the myth says, when the Bull (who is the incarnate god Jupiter) and Europa (who is the incarnate goddess Athena) are truly in love and friendship with each other, they produce their child, Mercury. The name Mercury is derived from the Ancient Egyptian, Maa Kheru, meaning 'True Word'.

The Europa and Bull myth is a simplified form of the Dionysian myth. Mercury is the same as Dionysus who, when ascended and sounding the true Word, is symbolised as a Swan.

All myths are mysteries, which are plays that embody wisdom, and it is the Dionysian mystery that we are mainly working with.

As Shakespeare said, we are all actors on the stage of the world—and good actors need to know their parts and where on stage they should perform their role at any time during the play. This is what we endeavour to do. As Hermes is reputed to have said: "As above so below, as below so above, for the doing of the Great Work."

Hence we work with the Three Lands of the British Isles, which represent the Triple Goddess incarnate as Europa, and with mainland Europe, which represents the god Zeus incarnate as the Bull. Our work is to help enable the Bull to become the Swan and sound the True Word. Many people are doing this, all with different parts to play. Our part is to do with the landscape and nature, and its intelligence.

And the Swan of Europe landscape temple does exist, and is one that we have discovered and been working with for many years now.
