Awakening the Celtic Rose Lineage
Scotland Pilgrimage
Sep. 2-11, 2025
During this pilgrimage we connect to the Magdalene and Druidic energy of the Celtic Rose lineage.
Druids were in existence long before Christianity. Druidic universities, prestigious centers of learning and spiritual growth, existed in many parts of Great Britain, Ireland, France and Europe, providing a place for Druids to study and practice their craft. Two of the islands deeply connected to feminine Celtic Druid wisdom were the Isle of Iona and Druidic Grove of Mona on the island of Anglesey in Wales. The Druids at that time on the planet were highly evolved and connected deeply to the Sophianic energy symbolized by the Dove which is also connected to Yeshua and Mary Magdalene. Another aspect was the energy of the Raven which represents the Druidic floor. With the merging of these there was a deep combining of the wisdom of the Druids and the vibration of Christ energy. This was not by chance, as the Druids were also expecting a savior named Yesu. They were in close contact with the Magi of the Eastern Mystery Schools, working together to create the right atmosphere for these avatars to be able to incarnate. From age 13-16 Yeshua spent time in Britain, where his grandmother Anna spent time as a Celtic princess. Here he deeply connects to his uncles from his grandmother’s lineage and to the energy of the Druids. His uncle Joseph of Arimathea, a high Druid Priest made regular visits during that time.
“There is a huge, largely forgotten or unspoken Magdalene presence in the Celtic lands, as if the Reformation and witch hunts drew a black widow’s veil over her memory to obscure it.”
— Magdalene Mysteries: The Left-Hand Path of the Feminine Christ by Seren Bertrand, Azra Bertrand
The Emerald heart, is a blueprint of unconditional love, a frequency which was seeded into the earth. When we are able to attune to that frequency and activate it we are holding the highest level of love possible – unconditional love. The Emerald Heart provides a container to support the energy of the Celtic Rose. When it is activated, it becomes a Grail, so a cup that can hold other higher frequencies of Sophianic wisdom and of Christus light. As we explore these ancient lands we have a powerful opportunity to activate the Emerald Heart frequency in ourselves.
Druidic practice is a nature-based spirituality, often associated with sacred groves of oak trees, the energy of the forests, the land, and plant wisdom. We will allow the magic of the ancient sites we are visiting to permeate our hearts as we connect deeply to the Magdalene and Druid energy, incorporating ceremony to facilitate the process whenever possible. There is a special quality of these lands that you don’t find elsewhere.
This pilgrimage is also dedicated to the powerful energy of Mary Magdalene calling forth a deeper embodiment of the Magdalene Sisterhood. It is about rediscovering and honoring the divine feminine inside each of us that is being called forward at a time on the planet when it is critical that we hold the energy of loving kindness that was a cornerstone of the teachings of Yeshua.
If you are feeling drawn to the massive emergence of this energy, then it is likely you are part of what is surfacing on the planet and sensing that there is more for you to do. Magdalenes have been here supporting the evolution of humanity for longer than you can imagine. We are in a time on the planet where the old energies are being cleared in order for humanity to move to a higher vibration. At this time on the planet the Magdalene energy is strong and calling to many to assist in this transition of consciousness.
The group is intentionally kept small, designed for intimacy and the ability to connect deeply with like-minded souls and the energy of the land.
Itinerary
Day 1 – We arrive in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, a city with a long history connected to Kings and Queens. Mary, Queen of Scots and King Arthur are just a few. Think castles and legends as you explore its many gifts during your free time. The medieval Old Town and the Neoclassical New Town were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995. “The contrasts that make Edinburgh unique also make it typically Scottish, for, despite its reserved exterior, it is also a city capable of great warmth and even gaiety.” This day is a jet lag day with the group connecting in the late afternoon for a welcoming ceremony followed by our first group dinner.
Day 2 – In the morning we climb Holyrood Park to explore Arthur’s Seat at the top of a volcanic hill. Will you pick up on the energy of Camelot, mentioned in mythology in connection to the legendary castle and court of King Arthur? From the top we have a panoramic view of Edinburgh and the surrounding countryside, including Edinburgh Castle, and the Firth of Forth.
After our descent we take a lunch break before joining a guided walking tour for a couple of hours. This tour gives a glimpse of some of the magic and mystery of Edinburgh including but not limited to Edinburgh Castle, The Royal Mile, Old and New towns, the birthplace of Harry Potter, the original “Hogwarts”, and Martyrs’ Memorial
Free time until we meet as a group to share our insights over a leisurely supper.
After the castle we head further north stopping for lunch before proceeding to Mount Schiehallion noted for its energetic similarity to Mount Shasta. The majority of Schiehallion consists of quartzite, which has a dominant amount of quartz crystals. Sar’h in Anna, Voice of the Magdalenes speaks about this magical mountain that she had the opportunity to explore. Following our visit to Schiehallion we connect more deeply to the land during a Forest Ceremony, before heading to our hotel in Stirling to rest and journal before dinner.
Day 4 continues in the Pitlochry area as we travel to Grandtully to visit St. Mary’s church. You can be forgiven for wondering what you are doing connecting to this very non descript building. However when you enter, prepare to be amazed by the painted ceiling. “The ceiling design is based on a large central panel surrounded by 28 smaller panels of different sizes and shapes, each boasting a unique painted design. The mix of subjects is fabulous; there are Biblical figures, fruit, birds, animals, winged figures, coats of arms, family monograms, and heraldic symbols.” We are very likely to be alone in the church with lots of opportunity to connect into the messages embedded in the ceiling.
From Grandtully we travel to Fortingall to connect to the location of the Great Gathering held during the summer solstice of 55AD, that is described by Sar’h in the book Anna, Voice of the Magdalenes. This was a massive event over several days that was attended by many members of Yeshua’s family. When Sar’h entered the gathering area she could see Yeshua on a raised platform flanked on either side by Anna, Mary Anna, Mary Magdalene, Myrium and Mariam. 
Then to the right and left and behind them “was a dazzling array of beings emitting a rainbow profusion of light”. Later that day they were blessed with the ethereal appearance of Yeshua’s spiritual brother and guru, Mahavatar Babaji and the future Christ-Buddha Maitreya. During the time they were at the gathering all three “Mary’s” were impregnated with Yeshua’s light conceived children. We then connect to a 5000 year old Yew tree in the area.
Finishing off this very powerful day we visit Clava Cairns, a prehistoric burial area about 4000 years old. Here we connect into the energy of death and rebirth.
Day 5 we head out early to catch a ferry to the Isle of Lewis connecting into the energy of the water while on the ferry.
Once on the Isle we visit the Callanish Sacred Stones -if you have been to Avebury or Stonehenge 
you will have a sense of the power of these sacred stones. Each of the stone circles in the area have their own energy. Connect into the stones in the centre but also connect from outside the circle to begin seeing the energies of how the surrounding stones line up with the ones in the centre. From this vantage point you may be able to sense things that you cannot connect to while inside the circle.
Following our time with the stones we head to our hotel on the Isle with time to relax and journal before dinner.
Day 6 – we get up very early to catch the first ferry back to Ullapool. Leaving Ullapool we travel to Fort Augustus to have a break for lunch and perhaps to catch a glimpse of the Loch Ness Monster. From Fort Augustus we head towards Oban and check in to the Knipoch House Hotel overlooking the peaceful Loch Feochan. Away from the city we have time to relax after a long travel day before we enjoy a fabulous dining experience.
Day 7 – we have a leisurely breakfast and time to relax by the water before we head for the ferry to take us to the Isle of Mull. Here we are visiting the famous Kilmore church in Dervaig. This church has amazing stained glass as well as an apse that has caused local controversy. One of the stained glass windows has the beautiful image of Yeshua holding the hand of a pregnant Mary Magdalene. The gospel text inscribed on the window reads “Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” ~Gospel of Luke ch10.v42~
Leaving Dervaig we head to Tobermory where we have time to enjoy this beautiful Isle. Taking time to relax after the previous day of travel.
Day 8 – we are on our way to the amazing Iona, considered to be one of the most beautiful islands in Scotland. Here we visit the famous Iona Abbey, a significant historical site that attracts visitors from around the world. The island also features the Well of Eternal Youth, also known as Tobar na H-Aoise, located on the top of Dùn Ì, the highest hill on Iona at 101 meters. This well is considered a holy site in the ancient Celtic tradition and is believed to be connected to the Celtic Otherworld of dreams and hopes. Across Celtic Britain legends of Magdalene were closely entwined with that of the Celtic goddess Brighid, and the later Christian Saint Bridget—who was said to be the daughter of a Druid priest, raised both in Ireland and Iona.
Iona was known as a spiritual center way before Saint Columbus arrived. It was a very powerful druidic island of the women. It was the island of the women, the island of the angels. “Some legends say that Mary Magdalene was buried in a cave on Iona, while others say she birthed her child in a cave there—mirroring the rite of divine birth. Other myths say that in the future a Divine Woman from the isle of Iona will redeem the world, as if Magdalene has planted light-seeds of the Divine Feminine Christ here”
— Magdalene Mysteries: The Left-Hand Path of the Feminine Christ by Seren Bertrand, Azra Bertrand
Leaving Iona we take the ferry back to Oban where we head on a beautiful drive south to The Inn on Loch Locond. The scenery is stunning on this drive.
Day 9 Taking some time to enjoy this beautiful location we then head to Glasgow – to explore some of the amazing architecture and the energy of this beautiful city. We have a tour of the University of Glasgow, the fourth oldest university in the English speaking world with many historic buildings some of which inspired the Harry Potter school, Hogwarts. After a break for lunch we take some time to visit the gothic Glasgow Cathedral which took 350 years to complete. “Inside it’s truly wonderful with it’s fabulous colored pillars, massive arches, beautiful little alcoves and a majestic altar. The ceiling is simplistic and traditional and houses numerous lovely gold leaf lights. The altar takes pride of place with intricate designs, a large open space, and wonderful colored glass windows.”
From Glasgow we stop to see the famous Kelpies in Falkirk. A kelpie is a shape-changing aquatic spirit of Scottish legend.
Its name may derive from the Scottish Gaelic words ‘cailpeach’ or ‘colpach’, meaning heifer or colt. Kelpies are said to haunt rivers and streams, usually in the shape of a horse.
After the Kelpies we head to our final hotel in Edinburgh.
Day 10 – Rosslyn Chapel private viewing and closing ceremony. We begin this day visiting the Edinburgh castle on a guided tour. Following the tour you have some time to explore parts of Edinburgh you may have missed. The rest of the day is a magical completion of this pilgrimage. Mid afternoon we head to the enchanted Roslyn Glen, connecting to Druid energy, for some forest bathing and journaling before we head to Rosslyn Chapel for a private viewing and tour as well as our closing ceremony. We will also have our final dinner.
Day 11 – Departure Day. It is a short 20 minute drive to the airport or you may decide to extend your time in Scotland with other adventures.
