Lovely Memories of Marion (Rosamund) Plympton, Plymouth, Group Leader

Written and sent in by Margaret Oliver

Early in April, barely a month before her 80th birthday, Marion, after a short illness, passed into the Light with great serenity. I first met Marion at the Plymouth Daughter Lodge in the mid 1980’s, always cheerful, often dressed in her midwife’s uniform; midwifery being her chosen vocation giving service delivering souls into this earthly world.

A very modest lady, she was initially taken aback when asked to lead the work of keeping the Star shining brightly in the Plymouth area, when our Plymouth Daughter Lodge Mother finally had to re-tire. Marion then willingly opened her family home in Plympton and the White Eagle Plympton Group was formed. She gave generously of her time, love, support and wis-dom to all-comers, whether occasional “drop-ins” or regular White Eagle friends and members. She welcomed Devon & Cornwall friends/members to her glorious (& cher-ished) rose-filled garden for summer afternoon garden parties. Once a month on autumn/winter Sunday afternoons she would invite us to a social time of sharing, serving us teas and delicious home-baked cakes.

She loved the countryside, enthusiastically organising White Eagle Spring Walks, (she’d been a runner in the local Plympton “Hashers” so knew the area well!) She was also a clog-dancer with the Plymouth Maids, enjoyed local Morris Men barn dances and loved West Country Folk Festivals, especially Sidmouth Festival, her annual holiday for some years.

After down-sizing from her family home she continued our White Eagle Healing and Medi-tation Group in the sitting room of her bungalow, patio doors revealing views over her beautifully tended garden. For a while she even invited local brothers for Monday evening

Brotherhood services, climbing the ladder up into her light-filled loft, truly an “upper room”!

In recent years she coped stoically with poor health which led to her reluctantly closing the Plympton Group after more than 15 years of service. She’ll always be re-membered for her loving kindness, devotion to White Eagle’s work, enthusiasm for life, sense of fun, hospital-ity, delicious baking, especially her homity pie and choco-late éclairs! Now her spirit flies free united with her won-derful husband and beloved daughter. Bless you dear Marion, abundant joy, song and laughter in the radiance of your heavenly garden.

Dear White Eagle Members in the South West,

You will be aware from our January Smoke Signals of the recent passing into

the higher life of our dear Charmian. Charmian was a special friend of mine

and I feel is still very close to me. According to her wishes and in her mem-

ory, my vision is to create a Centre of Light in Devon for our White Eagle Star

Centre South West. It has been disclosed that her estate which she has

asked go to the White Eagle Lodge, is worth a substantial amount. I will be

negotiating with The Trustees that we may be allocated some of the money

for this special enterprise. At our Ilsington Brotherhood on 15th April I gave a

Presentation dedicated to Charmian outlining my proposal. I give below a summery which in-

cludes some practicalities on how a White Eagle Centre could be established.

First to say, that for over 40 years I have been receiving inspirations from the Spirit World, one of

which impressed me with the words: “ I shall build a Centre”. It would appear that this prophecy

and my dreams may now come true. I have the passion and the will to make this happen.

A White Eagle Centre would need to be near public transport and close to my own business as a

Yoga Teacher and Holistic Therapist. I have therefore earmarked the Newton Abbot area, which

is also central for White Eagle members in the South West. My plan is to be a live-in caretaker,

renting out my house in order to contribute to the running costs. Obviously finances will have to

be discussed with The Trustees.

So in brief here are some of the reasons why a permanent building will be of value in The South West.

It would be dedicated to the memory of dear Charmian and comply with her wishes.

A building will offer a focal point for all our White Eagle activities and celebrations throughout the year. These would be our Brotherhood meetings, Healing and Meditation Groups and in the future possibly Services and Family Days.

White Eagle members and friends can come together on Retreat Days which as well as

speakers from New Lands, can include yoga, sacred dance, creative sound and much more.

A property belonging to the White Eagle Lodge will increase in value.

A dedicated building maintains the power and energy and therefore becomes an oasis of

peace for all those who enter, so sorely needed in our world today.

I visualise expansion and new membership, as I and others have many local connections.

Jenny our Lodge Mother has pointed out that we would need support from within the region to sustain a building and the activities. This being the case, if you are in favour of a dedicated Cen-tre for the White Eagle Star Centre South West in principle, please will you write to the Chairman of the Trustees, The White Eagle Lodge, Newlands, Liss, Hampshire, GU33 7HY, with your views on this proposal.

If you would like more information or a transcript of the Presentation before you offer your views

then please contact one of us.

Our Devon Spring Walk and Pilgrimage By Margaret Shade

We gathered, seven of us, at an ancient and nameless church perched on a remote knoll in hill farming country off the eastern fringe of Dartmoor. Hay Tor gleamed in the distance under moted sunbeams, but in the churchyard itself the morning was grey-eyed and a distinct chill hung in the April air. We greeted each other heartily while stomping the cold from our toes, zipping up, donning hats and gloves, and zeroing-in on our hot tea flasks. First,

however, we all nipped in to the church to light a candle, pay our respects, and pray for peace, for blessing, and healing. Margaret Oliver led us in our service to bless our day, our walk, the church, the earth we were about to walk upon, and the river we were about to walk beside. We then stepped outside for that longed for cuppa among tombstones and bluebells surrounded by an ancient grove of yew and evergreen oak. Fay very kindly stepped aside to take a commemorative photo of the rest of us.

Perusing Theresa's trusty OS map, our journey was delineated for us in ant-like rows of pink dashes over folded green contours. From the churchyard in West Ogwell, we'd hop over a stile and trudge along a wide open ridge of hill farms that look out across a valley to more hill farms opposite and Hay Tor beyond. We'd then dip into the valley of the River Lemon, which finds its source a stone's throw from Hay Tor. We'd pass through Bradley Wood, following the river, and end up at Bradley Manor, a Tudor NT property on the western fringes of Newton Abbot. A rich display of Devon's landscapes lay before us. Windswept high land -- home to extremely tough but gentle sheep. Sheltered green pastureland grazed by cattle or fenced off into pad-docks for horses. A lush river valley alive with the sound of rushing water. A woodland floor carpeted with white ransoms, wood anemones, and bluebells in late April. All very easy on the eye and a fine walk. But it was also a pilgrimage of blessing and healing, from start to finish.

The tiny church is nameless. Built in the 13th Century, it was never dedicated or named--and this is unusual. How many no-name churches have you come across? When I first visited the nameless church in 2004, its interior was little more than a rotting pile of ecclesiastical clutter watched over by a concerned community of tiny pipistrelle bats hanging off the medieval roof and pooping merrily on the ruins below -- presumably in hopes of putting off vandals. Restoration and healing seemed wildly distant dreams -- but dreams come true. Today, the vandals are gone and the guardian bats, having done good service, enjoy a more genteel life, semi-retired, in their rural Devon belfry.

Over the last few years, the Churches Conservation Trust has added considerably to decades of bat-work. Clearing masses of debris and conserving the church fabric itself, their act of service and love has gone very far to making the church both welcoming and welcome. Here, restored Georgian box pews. There, a beautifully preserved Jacobean pulpit. In the south wall of the chancel, just where you'd expect it, is a perfect sedilia -- a tiny stone recess with three simple arches where a trio of Medieval clergy -- priest, deacon, and sub-deacon -- sat in a row during services over 700 years ago. They must have been incredibly petite! But it took more than conservation to make this sacred space whole and alive again.

Year in, year out, while the bats guarded and the Churches Conservation Trust repaired, a number of ac-cidental and deliberate pilgrims of many faiths and persuasions made their way to this tiny church. They stopped to meditate, to pray, or simply to linger a while and marvel at the pipistrelles dancing midair.

These hundreds of individual experiences, meditations, and prayers were utterly felt and present in the warm welcome and serene beauty that greeted us in the church that morning as we gathered for our service in the bright and cosy transept. Looking east past the altar, the morning sun burst from a grey cloud and shot through the windows, wrapping the apse in silver light. And so we joined the longstanding pilgrim band across time that continues to pray for the healing and restora-tion of this ancient and sacred space.

A cuppa and a leap off a stile and we were on the Devon Way passing watchful sheep with their lambs gambolling up the ridge while a herd of Red Devon

bullocks nodded warily in a meadow below. Over our heads, we heard the skree of buzzards and spied one in flight, nestling in the branch of a great oak. Fay and Jason sighted what was probably the same buzzard on our way back--it appeared to be feeding its young.

All the while, Hay Tor loomed in the distance past the hill and hamlet of High Holbeam on the other side of the valley. As we walked along, Caroline revealed that she had lived in a caravan in High Holbeam some time ago. She said the winters up there were harsh and we believed her, buffeted as we were by cold and biting winds--and it was only April! While the views were breathtaking, we were eager to reach the shelter of the wooded valley due west, the Valley of the River Lemon.

And what of the River Lemon? Does it run with lemonade? Well, no. In common with so many of Dart-moor's peat-filtered rivers, the waters of the Lemon are the colour of clear English tea--very cold tea! Per-haps with a slice of lemon floating on it? No again, for the name of this river points to its remote Celtic past, when its banks were adorned with elm trees (lemo-). The sound of rustling elms and wagging Celtic tongues are now heard only on the wind, but the river's name tells their story as it runs quick into the 21st Cen-tury--burbling, chattering, and roaring its way to meet the River Teign at Newton Abbot and thence the sea.

We reached the River Lemon at Chercombe Bridge after a gentle descent along a wooded lane and made our way following the river with the canopy of Bradley Wood overhead and a carpet of white garlic and bluebells underfoot, filling the air one minute with the aroma of a wild outdoor pizzeria and the next minute with the perfume of an Edwardian lady's floral boudoir. We soon arrived at a clearing where Ogwell Mill once stood. The mill is gone, but the mill road still leads to it. The leat still runs from it, and a round field spreads its grass over what was once the vast mill pond.

At this point, a track headed west up to Berry's Wood and a bronze-age hill fort. We'd save that walk for another day, but were reminded of the millennia of human stories echoing down this river. Following its path, we found its banks dotted with lime kilns and, nearing Newton Abbot, criss-crossed by Victorian leats -- all tell-ing us tales of the river's industrial past. In 1811, that great painter of light, JMW Turner, shared our walk with us. He stopped along the way to sketch Ogwell Mill and other sites along the scenic River Lemon. The date is significant, for Turner experienced the area before the height of the industrial revolution had reached rural Devon just as we came to walk along the river in a post-industrial time. For Turner and for us, reaching across time, the waters of the Lemon run clean. But from the mid-Victorian era onwards, the river was clogged with industrial waste. Until 1974, the Newton Abbot power plant dumped its cooling water into the River Lemon.

The flow of the River Lemon literally rose and fell with the town of Newton Abbot, for as the village grew into a Victorian market town, human industry placed demands on the river that allowed it less and less room to run its natural course. Catastrophic floods were the tragic result, occurring frequently in Newton Abbot from the mid-1800s onwards. The Victorians encased the river in concrete and brick. They even drove it underground in order to harness its power for industrial use, dump industrial waste, and prevent flooding. However, the river continued to burst its banks regularly, with the last serious flood in 1979. Finally, 1982 saw what local people came to call "the squeezing of the Lemon." A reservoir and dam were built by Holbeam to put an end to the floods for good. Yet, even in 2013, the flooding of the river caused loss of life.

We stopped to have our lunch outside Bradley Manor on a bench and a log beside the river while it still flowed free. A hundred meters away, entering Newton Abbot, the river would suddenly morph into an ur-ban waterway looking for all the world like some anonymous ditch or canal, lined in concrete. But here, the river was alive and present with us. As we sat quietly together with our packed lunches, Moina spoke of fellowship, of feeling happily ordinary and in good company on our walk. We shared wild garlic recipes -- the leaves make a great pesto and the white flowers can be picked apart and sprinkled over a salad. Ja-son mentioned that the plant also has antiviral and antibacterial properties. Margaret from Exeter shared her oatmeal cookies. Theresa spoke of people keeping rescue chickens as pets. Caroline said she had walked most of the ten-mile length of the River Lemon as a kind of pilgrimage in sections over the years, from its source near Hay Tor to its journey's end in the River Teign.

And so we return to imagining our walk in its aspect as a pilgrimage of blessing and healing. Each day, many dozens people walk their dogs by the River Lemon. Quite a few will stop at a particularly beautiful sight, but, at least in my observation, most are kept quite busy walking their dogs. Each day, perhaps one or two dozen people walk the River Lemon particularly to enjoy the beauty and magic and history of the landscape. But very few people walk the River Lemon to ask for God's blessing upon it and to heal it. May God's blessing be upon the River Lemon and the nameless church perched atop a knoll in West Ogwell.

When the earth is healed, so are we.

It was lovely to see Colum Haywood at our retreat day in June for his views on The Meditation Lifestyle. Colum had prepared a leaflet with different photos on which were discussed during the day with some profound thoughts expressed on them. These were also used to discuss meditations. Colum emphasised the possibility of ‘going with the flow’ whether on the London underground or in a natural setting, of breaking down rules and opening oneself to both the physical and etheric lives on the earth. He spoke of keeping one’s feet on the earth and part of the mind on spiritual truths, therefore seeing the spiritual in all life and using this to trigger the chakras open.

At various points during the day Colum was able to quote pieces of poetry which helped to illustrate what was being spoken of.

After a lovely lunch with contri-butions from all the attendees we sat out in the village hall garden enjoying the sun-shine for a while prior to return-ing inside. Colum continued by reminding us to be aware of the God within and sharing love with all individuals as our Brotherhood work aspires to do. He recommended that we meditate on this as well as on White Eagle. The day was rounded off with a deeper meditation followed by closing down in the favoured White Eagle tradition.

A lovely day enjoyed by all who were able to come.

A Facebook Share ~ Saturday 9th June 2018

Every week the Lodge shares some of White Eagle’s wisdom via their Facebook page. Some will have seen it but for those that do not do Facebook these words will inspire, uplift and enlighten. Enjoy!

"We come back from the spirit life to bring you a little knowledge and to urge you to listen. Try out our suggestions about right thought. Right thought is God thought, good thought, goodwill, which brings right action. It brings control of the nervous system, correct breathing ,quiet, steady living. Can you see an old chief of our tribe getting into a panic and rushing about? Try to imagine him in all his regalia, entering the circle of his people in silence, quietly perambulating, sprinkling incense, giving his blessing. See him standing with arms upraised, invoking the love and blessing of his Creator. ... Can you hear the steady beat of those countless ones of his people who will follow him at a given moment, in procession, chanting? What are they chanting? Can you not imagine it? They are chanting in har-mony with life's rhythm, chanting the great AUM, invoking the power of the spirit, creating, drawing even on the wind currents to bring something wholly good, a physical and spiritual blessing on the community of tribes."

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

3/4 cup (105 grams) all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3 cups (260 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats

1 cup dried raisins (or dried cranberries, cher-

ries, or 1 cup white or dark chocolate chips)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)

and line two baking sheets with parchment pa-

per.

In the bowl of your electric mixer (or hand mixer),

beat the butter and sugar until creamy and smooth

(about 2 - 3 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla ex-

tract and beat to combine. In a separate bowl,

whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and

ground cinnamon. Add the flour mixture to the

creamed mixture and beat until incorporated. Stir in

the nuts, oats, and dried cranberries or chocolate

chips.

For large cookies, use 1/4 cup of batter (you can

use an ice cream scoop) and space the cookies

about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on the baking sheet.

Then flatten the cookies slightly with your fingers

or palm so they are about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm)

thick. Bake the cookies for about 12 - 15 minutes

or until light golden brown around the edges but

still soft and a little wet in the middle. Remove

from oven and let the cookies cool a few minutes

on the baking sheet before transferring them to a

wire rack to cool.

For smaller cookies, roll dough into the size of a

walnut, place on parchment-lined baking sheet,

and flatten gently with palm or fingers. Space

them about 2 inches apart. Bake for about 6 - 8

minutes or until golden brown on the edges but

soft and a little wet in

the middle.

Makes about 20 - 24

large cookies or 40

smaller cookies

Recipe Spot

It has been suggested that each issue of

Smoke Signals should have a Recipe

Spot. Often at the shared lunches several

members would like particular recipes of

the food. In the past Smoke Signals has

had a number of recipes, so having a dedi-

cated Recipe Spot follows a long held tra-

dition. Thank you to all who make such

lovely dishes to share, you really are

appreciated!

Sometimes it feels good to hear White Eagle’s teaching read out loud rather than

going to the printed page…

You can ring our Quiet Mind phone line 24 hours a day to hear two or three White Eagle sayings shared by a friendly voice

from New Lands. Enjoy, when you want to feel connected!

Calls on our new 0844 line are charged at 5p per minute (UK) and the recordings, which are changed regularly, last two to

three minutes.
