The Angels at Mottisfont

December 19, 2011 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Managed by the National Trust, Mottisfont is a tranquil estate that includes the Gothic remains of an Augustinian priory. It’s near Romsey in Hamsphire and open for some of the Christmas holidays.

In fact, for Christmas Mottisfont is doing something rather special. Angels are coming to the historic gardens.

The Angel Garden is inspired by the original human-sized angel at Mottisfont which was created by Boris Anrep back in 1947 with the face of Maud Russell. Maud Russell was not only the love of Anrep’s life but the owner Mottisfont.

For this year’s Angel Garden a total of nine different arists have created angel sculptures to join the original. One of the artists, Ed Elliott, told the National Trust;

This work questions the deeper psychological concept of the angel; the paradox between power and beauty, solidity and weightlessness, and the burden of existing as an immortal being.

Will you be heading up to Mottisfont before the end of the year to see the angels? Or have you been already to see the original angel with the face of Maud Russell? What did you think?

All Angels Day – A Celebration of Life

May 26, 2009 by Andrew Leave a Comment

All Angels Day is a holistic healing event dedicated to spreading Light and Love. The event on the 22nd of May attracted positive reviews from mainstream media and the second event for 2009 is scheduled for December 5th.

Held in the Athenaeum on Angel Hill at Bury St Edmunds the day offered angelic readings, crystal energy, Reiki, EFT, spiritual guidance and children meditation sessions.

Cosmo Verner, one of the group of nine lightworkers supporting the event, described the day as a great success. Cosmo, who owns the Crystal Merchant, told the press, “The community embraced our holistic approach to life and our wish to encourage communication, inspiration, love and light.”

The event was home to over 40 exhibitors which included organic produce suppliers as well as natural good and jewellery stalls. The Athenaeum was decorated with drawings of angels provided by the local primary school. May’s All Angels Day raised £500 for East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices and St Nicholas Hospice Care. And it is hoped the December Day will raise more.

The Angelic Orb

The photograph used to promote All Angels Day is described as an “Angelic Orb” by the group of nine. It was taken by Cosmo Verner while visiting Glendalough in Ireland. Glendalough is the site where St Kevin founded a monastery around 600 AD.
