What's in a name

[Earth Hart]

Many thanks for the warm welcome. I'm glad to be among like-minded people.

As I'm not on-line at home I have to use the library, and they only allow an hour a day. So here goes, I'll try to answer some questions regards Earth Hart.

Back in 1991 I came to live in Somerset. At the time I had an Orca tooth pendant and in late October the tooth fell off the chain. Having replaced it a number of times I felt that it wanted a rest, so I placed it on the mantlepiece, which was 8ft. long & 9ins. deep and made of marble, as I laid it down an old Georgian sporan pin fell off the mantle. Now, it was at the other end up against the wall and now it was on the floor. Picking it up, I felt it was warm which was wyrd as there was no fire and marble is cold. Looking at it, a silver Stag's Head, I saw how I could thread the chain between the antlers & ears, this I did then put it around my neck, it felt right. I laid down on my bed, as at the time I lived in a bed-sit, to read and drifted off to a hill with a wood on top. I began to climb up to the wood, when out of the wood came a great Stag, he had the Earth revolving in his antlers. He walked down towards me and stood in front of me. Looking down at me he spoke, "I am Earth Hart, the Heart of the Earth." Then I was him looking down at myself saying the same, then I was myself again looking at Earth Hart. He beckoned me to follow and we climbed the hill and went into the wood. It was ancient, it hadn't been touched by the hand of man for thousands of years. The further we went in, the darker it got untill we came to a clearing with a mighty Yew at its heart. The yew had a great gash in its side and into this we went, down into the Earth.
At this point my door bell rang and woke me up. On opening the door I found Marion, she took one look at me and asked where I'd been. When I replied asleep she said maybe and asked what had happened, so I told her. At the end she smiled and tole me that I had been named. I still wear the Hart around my neck.

I wish it was just a tale. It's hard living with the Name & what it implies. And having an old wolf by my side, so I am told, makes life difficult when you have both predator & prey within. As I've said, I'm a crazy yarnweaver who loves walking the land. Hopefully I should have some pics of myself, taken at N.P. this weekend, when they arrive I'll put them up here.
Then you all can see what a fool I am.
