MORTE POINTE, MORTEHOE, North Devon

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a land energy reading…and what a brilliant place to get back into it! @janewakeuk and I headed out for an early walk (from the fab apartment just above this hidden cove). As we descended to the water’s edge my natural instinct would be to open my energy field to cleanse - not so here! The notes I took down included: ‘a sense of underlying bodies at the waters edge’, courage and the spirit of ‘animals’ - a distinct feel of death and spirit - and, as captured by the photos, a glistening ‘greyness’.

Walking on, through stunning coastal paths, (we saw a seal!) we reach Morte Point where I had the distinct sense of powerlessness and people being made to walk off it to their death. When we returned home and googled…wow. Mortehoe (which comes from the Latin word meaning Death) was known for its shipwrecks and fearsome wreckers and smugglers. The Mortemen Wreckers were considered the most fearsome by sailors (who preferred to drown at sea than be captured by them). It was illegal to take cargo from a shipwreck if any of the crew were alive on boat - so they were killed.

The area is fascinating…handsome and ordered dry stone walls, a neatness and order - shaped by nature and man - contrast of light and dark and a rather unique cemetery. Notes taken include: ‘feels very compliant (army connection?) / very clean energetically / energy is upright and tall / collective - all looking out at the horizon, facing ‘one way’ together / a portal - like a lift shaft / privately owned / alive - vibrant’.

It turns out upon checking, to be a commonwealth war grave, once privately owned. This can be felt so strongly.

The energies of this area are fascinating and highly revealing - something to do with the contrasts, the upright nature of the shards of rock, the landscape and the invisibly protecting ‘buttress’ between land and sea. A ‘borrowed view’ comes to mind…and a sense of history captured in invisible fields.

PS. The cove is called Grunta Cove - named after a cargo of shipwrecked pigs washed ashore (the ‘animals’ I was picking up).

Go visit! :)
