Brian J. lives in Colorado, but in the early 1990s he was staying in the Borders area of the U.K. near the boundary between Scotland and England, and he went on a road trip to the Clava Cairns.
“As soon as I stepped onto the site, a supernatural force washed over my soul,” Brian told me.
Back in 1999, I was the editor of a magazine about spiritual travel, Power Trips, and Brian sent me an article to publish about a painful curse that struck him after he made the mistake of tampering with a sacred site.
“I felt compelled to take a rock from a cairn,” he wrote. “I snatched a palm-sized pebble and stuck it in my jacket.”
But as Brian drove home, strange things began to happen.
“My vision began to waiver and my heart pounded. Sweat drops the size of bullets rolled down my face. Then my stomach started to ache severely as if tiny polgergeists were inside me, chiseling away at my digestive system.”
Brian described being physically ill after pulling in to a rest area. He wondered why he had become so sick so suddenly.
“Then I felt the rock in my jacket,” he wrote. “A jolt of negative energy filled my hand. The rock became bitterly cold and heavy. I could sense that it was angry at me. I’ve never been superstitious, but I got back in my car and drove back.”
After returning the stolen Clava Cairns stone, Brian’s symptoms magically vanished.
“From now on, I would respect the power of Britain’s sacred sites,” he concluded.
The prehistoric burial site at Clava Cairns is one of more than a dozen fascinating places you can experience in a Sacred Scotland pilgrimage this September.
Our small group tour will be led by Kathleen McGowan, who is an expert on early Celtic traditions. Her book The Ballad of Tam Lim, is a retelling of a Scottish faery tale.
