Bermuda Grotto Bay
Crystal Caves and Fairy Grottos
Heading off to Grotto Bay
My adventure was starting today with a taxi drive to Grotto Bay Hotel and there I foudn in the grounds, the very place I wanted to visit was Prosperos Cave but also found Aerials Fairy Grotto. I felt as if there was a story waiting to unfold and the fairy’s where going to take me on a merry dance.
As what caught my eye was not only that Ariel’s Grotto was connected Shakespeares play the Tempest but also the story could have originated from the shipwreck of the Sea Venture in 1609.
Aerial was a nature spirit captured in a tree she/he was of the elements of fire and water and Prospero was the one who released her/him. I say her/him as Aerial is depected in many stories as both male and female .
Prosperos Cave also know as the Cathedral Cave due to the stalagtites and stalgamites looking very much like cathedral windows.
My picture below taken within a few seconds of each one, shows the light and the darkness of the nature of the cave as I became overshadowed by a darkness. you can see it looks as though I am a hooded figure and even one of my legs looks thinner
.
Even the guy who took the photo was “spooked” by what he saw and I wondered was this the “energy” that brought me to Bermuda!!
I was not phased just more intrigued as to what I will be shown or what it is I am going to learn or need to do whilst on the island.
Grotto Bay Beach Hotel - Memories of my childhood
The hotel was quite something, but the beach was more of a manmade beach as I walked on it, I could feel myself sinking into the sand, rather like I did when I was child at Valley Cob on Anglesey.
I gathered all my cousins to come with me and collect all the mussels we could find in a huge plastic sheet, I was a tiny petite little 10 year old and they all came to be part of the adventure about 8 of us, like the famous five. I asked them to help me find the biggest fresh water pearl for my mother as she always wanted to find this fresh water pearl and not just any freshwater pearl, it could be colourful, black, blue, pink as long as it would manifest all the dreams that she wished for all her life for all of us have everything we wanted in our lives. It was not just a wish for her it was for everyone she knew. In those days people dreamed of riches thinking it would bring happiness, I only wished to make my mother happy by finding the biggest pearl for her. We dragged this plastic sheet home with hundreds of mussels for 5 miles along the road and when we got home put them all in a big bath and filled it. No-one opened those mussels to look for the pearl, but we all had a wonderful adventure and a day of sinking into the muddy depths of Valley Cob and having to be pulled out by my bigger cousins as I was waist high in the mud.
This day walking on the beach brought that memory back as I sank into the muddy sand and realised it was just like the sandbank at Valley Cob and not to “wade in the water”.
What I did see going onto the beach was a Moongate and you could have a wish as you walk through. Of course I could not resist and wished as I waked underneath it and even lingered a while. Then on the beach my eyes caught sight of what looked to be like a “Hag Stone” a rock with a big hole in it, often called fairy stones or an Odin stone in the Celtic myths and legends and very often much smaller, but to me this was a large hag stone and
made it even more magical being here as it was a sure sign the fairies and elementals where showing me the way.
Evening Dinner at the Swizzle Inn
I was recommended to try the Swizzle Inn not far from the hotel, I did not indulge in a rum swizzle, but I did enjoy the recommended red snapper fish and freshly cooked vegetables. When I looked up at the ceiling and saw the array of old musical instruments and I had seen a post from my cousin saying how she had an accordion when she was young and was going to get another one as she enjoyed playing it. I remembered saying to her that all the family were quite musical except me. The only instrument I played as a child was the recorder and the triangle!!.
When I looked up I saw a drum, I realised the message was there for me that I do play a musical instrument and its my various shamanic drums, that I so love as they each have different frequencies and tones and I remember even the triangle had a different tone if I struck it in a different place, like my drums.
Even having dinner I knew I was not alone and had a silent conversation with “spirit” as they were on this journey of discovery with me.
