The Magick of Dreaming

Bendle the Herbalist has sent me an email saying he has found me a job, I glance over it, and think it says the job is in Oxford,

And then he sends me a note saying that he has found me a job, and I notice that its not in oxford but in Overy.

Its for 20£ an hour, and it work with medicines and plants, working alongside herbalists teaching how to find them in the wild and dry them.

I did some research as to weather the place Overy exists - it does - see here -

Even more amazing, = my Auntie Joe came this morning to say that she has some friends called Julie and John, who live in Overy, and that they have a big house with a big garden and are very rich! My auntie knew them from when she was living in brussels. i am going to go and visit them, as, "coincidentally", my parents said they would drop me off at oxford train station in just over a week. Magick!

Continuation of the story - not a dream (i hope!)

So, I went to Overy, cycling from oxford. When i got there, I found John and Julies house, and i chatted to John about the dream, explaining why i had come to visit. He probably thought i was mad! He told me he knew nothing of herbalism in the area, but did tell me about the old farm, which had been around for as long as the abbey - dorchester on thames abbey, which is right next door practically to Overy. This was a pilgrimage site i find out! I asked every one living in overy (all 6 houses) if anyone knew anything about herbalism, but it turned out to be a dead end. There was a flood plain behind the houses that i walked around, it was a wild life conservation area, and i found some interesting wild plants, but no herbalists, and no money! The last person told me this info - : habitational name from a place named with the Old English phrase ofer ie ‘over, across the river’, as for example Overy in Oxfordshire. In some cases the name may be topographic, with the same meaning, or with Old English eg ‘dry ground in a marsh’, ‘well-watered land’ as the second element.

So, A bit of the puzzle was found. a week later, i head off to a festival on a spontaneous whim, as my herbalist Robyn tells me she has free tickets for people doing herbs and such like. I go to do wild food walks. It was a beautiful setting, a dry spot by the lake. On one walk which lasted an hour, I made £19. Bendle was there. I tell him the story.
