In this post, I will demonstrate a 5-way soul connection between God, Julian, Dwina, Robin and me. The connection manifested itself through synchronicity regarding circle of stones.
During the evening of November 13, 2018, while driving home after shopping, Julian was listening to a podcast on his phone. I noticed that the first name of the person talking was Brennan. At the exact moment I saw the name on the screen of Julian’s phone, I saw a car driving by with a license plate that read, BRENNAN. Seeing this plate left me wondering why there was a rare and unique synchronicity with the name Brennan. I couldn’t think of any reason at the time.
I could not take a picture of the license plate because the car drove away before I could get my phone out.
Here is a picture of my husband’s phone with the podcast he was listening to. You can see the name, Brennan Dunn:
During the next evening, November 14th, I felt the desire to get back to reading one of my favorite books called Circle of Stones: Woman’s Journey to Herself by Judith Duerk. I have had it for at least fifteen years I would say. I had not read it recently, but I was drawn back to the quiet, introspective nature of the book encouraging women to focus on self care. I’m in post-cancer recovery so I felt I needed the lessons in this book again that focus on inner listening and care for the soul.
With your twin soul, you will share many incredible life parallels. But some of them may stand out amongst the others as particularly heart-touching and beautiful. The book Circle of Stones is not just any book to me. It has a very important feminine nurturing quality that I have needed periodically in my life. It is like an old friend. The fact that I carried this book for many years of my life rang as very important to me when I found out that Robin and Dwina have a stone circle at their home. Here is an excerpt describing it:
On June 21, 1992, more than 300 white-robed Druids gathered on Hampstead Heath to celebrate the summer solstice and elected Dwina Murphy Gibb their patroness. (1)
To mark her new position, Dwina decided to have the tennis courts at The Prebendal bulldozed to make way for her own stone circle. “Stonehenge is the main solar temple, but there are others,” she explained. “I plan to build a special stone calendar aligned with the winter solstice at our Oxfordshire home. “When it is completed, I will be able to tell what time of year it is just by looking at which stone the sun is shining on. That’s what Stonehenge was partly used for. Then we will have a ceremony to inaugurate it.” Dwina added seriously, “It will be a natural extension to the religious history of the house – and it will be of far more use than a tennis court.” (2)
What she described sounds very beautiful. This parallel I share with Robin and Dwina regarding stone circles is one of my favorites and is deeply meaningful to me.
Historically, stone circles can be found around the world and mark a place of sacred and spiritual significance.
On the evening of November 14th, I read a few pages of my book that I had highlighted in the past. Then, I thought to do a little more research on Robin and Dwina’s stone circle. Through a google search, I found some information in the Belfast Telegraph. Here are some important excerpts:
Stone circle
Dwina is, in fact, patroness of the Order Of Bards, Ovates & Druids. She has even built a stone circle on an old tennis court in the grounds of the Gibbs’ Oxfordshire home – a former training centre for priests dating back to the 12th century.“If Druidry has a bad name, it’s because of Julius Caesar; the Romans hated Druids and gave them a very bad press!” Dwina explains, insisting her involvement is anything but scary. “I don’t dress up in robes and things. But I sometimes wear white and go out there. It’s just a love of nature and beauty.” (3)
I read through the entire article and discovered more interesting information. Here are two important excerpts:
How did your relationship develop?
Robin commissioned some pen & ink drawings from me – the whole story of Demeter and Persephone. I made them more and more detailed so we could keep seeing each other. I never finished them. I feel quite superstitious about finishing them now. (4)
Apart from Bee Gees music, which other music do you like?
I love Irish music by Mary Black and Clannad. I think Maire Brennan (lead singer of Clannad) has a fabulous voice – one of the finest female voices in the world. (5)
When I saw the name of the musician, Maire Brennan, I thought back to the license plate/podcast synchronicity from the evening before. The synchronicity with “Brennan” is pointing to this article and the mention of one of Dwina’s favorite musicians. This really got my attention. I don’t think it is just a coincidence. I see God at work here.
Here is more on Maire Brennan. She is the older sister of the well-known singer Enya.
After I was done with my google search and reading of the Belfast Telegraph article, I went back to reading Circle of Stones. I flipped through a few pages and read some that resonated with me again. Then, I came across this passage. It is a direct synchronicity with what I had just been reading about Dwina’s artwork:
Pat wrote movingly of the comfort she drew from her perception of her search for her mother as that of the daughter Persephone searching for the mother Demeter, even while the mother yearned for and searched for her daughter…Pg. 11 (6)
I was pretty shocked when I saw this. As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, I had not read this book recently and did not remember that Demeter and Persephone were mentioned. Now, I had seen them mentioned in writing twice within minutes of each other. This was unusual for me because I never pay attention to or think about Demeter or Persephone.
I also wanted to mention that this passage about Demeter and Persephone was not highlighted by me in the past like some of the other passages I had read. The page was not marked in any way. It felt new to me. I feel like I was guided to it.
I closed the book after that and gratefully said to Robin, “Yup, we’re twin souls.” That was Robin’s mic drop! I had nothing else to say after that (at least for a few minutes, lol!).
In terms of the deeper meaning of this synchronicity for me personally, I plan to study this mother-daughter story to see if I can find some healing wisdom I can apply to my own life.
It is not that surprising that Demeter and Persephone would be mentioned in a book like Circle of Stones because the author is writing about Goddesses and feminine empowerment. It is surprising that I read this passage in the book moments after reading the story about Dwina’s artwork. The timing was impeccable and divinely ordered. I had no idea, before I started reading, that the book and the article would be connected.
If you are interested in more information about Demeter and Persephone, here is a book I have had for many years which includes a chapter on them beginning on page 137.
During the morning on Tuesday, November 27th, I was choosing the photos for this post. I thought this picture with pebbles in water was so gorgeous. I was considering whether to include it somewhere in this post even though it is not exactly like the circle of stones I was thinking of.
After I finished with that, I walked out of my office to see what Julian was doing. He was watching Youtube and asked, me, “Have you seen this interview with the Bee Gees and Pebble Mills?” I laughed and said yes I had. I then knew I had to include the picture of the pebbles!
I had a lot of fun with this post. I hope you can see the 5-way soul connection I wrote about at the beginning of this post. There was a lot of strong synchronicity with the Belfast Telegraph article. I consider God to be the great synchronicity generator of which we are all a part.
I hope you enjoyed the stories! I also hope you found something good that you resonate with. That is my hope for every post.
I close this post with the Bee Gees’ interview with Pebble Mills:
