✨ Our first trip to Germany “Walking with Echoes, A Journey Through the Stones and Winds of Westphalia” ✨

-Germany March 24th 2025 - March 27th 2025

On March 24th 2025 we (Aléthia, Seraphina & our dog Guusje) started our first Journey of Remembrance. We’ve been guided to visit these places for remembrances of our earlier encounters with these places in other lifetimes. Not only to remember, but also to realign distorted energies from the past and to activate sacred lines and places for Gaia, the collective and our future sanctuary the Infinite Wellspring.

March 24th - Our first stop - Ostnabrück - The Quiet Reset 

After the arrival at our hotel we did a walk trough the city. The city didn’t feel welcoming at all. You could sense the tension between all the different cultures being present in the city. The stress they carried and the unfamiliarity with our presence including, and maybe even at most, with Guusje. We walked to the Dom st. Peter Cathedral and observed the Cathedral. 

Alétheia: 

As I looked at the structure and it’s surroundings I noticed that quite some people were entering the Cathedral. In the few minutes we were standing there were about six people entered from ages between 50 to as young as approximately 18 years old. Later when I checked the opening hours I knew why; it was the time you could enter for confession. 

Seraphina: 

I felt called to walk beside the Cathedral and a narrow alley on the backside of the Cathedral caught my attention. I didn’t no why at that moment, but we had to walk through it. And when we did, Alétheia and I felt both a very dense energy in the whole alley as if the air was heavier. For me it felt as if many souls where still trapped in this alley before something traumatic happened in the past. It was quiet in the alley and no one passed by. This alley was know as the ‘Hexengang’. 

Alétheia: 

Later that night we went for a last walk with Guusje before going to sleep. I checked on the map for a park nearby so she would have some grass to walk on. Since she’s kind of picky were she poops and pies (lol). When Seraphina and I were standing on the grass field in the park suddenly Seraphina pointed at the sky. There was this beautiful blue spiral forming light above us in the sky. Something extraordinary we’ve never witnessed before.

Seraphina:

The spiral we saw in the sky was amazing and what we saw is far more impressive than what I could capture with my phone. It was an amazing sign of our first journey. Spirals are universal symbols of creation, ascension & expansion. They are the geometry of starbirth and DNA. This felt for me deeply as a sign that we are doing something extraordinary and goes far beyond what we can see in the 3D physical world. 

March 25th - Dom st. Peter Cathedral meditation

Alétheia: 

On the second day we got up early to visit the Cathedral. We wanted to meditate early in the morning, but there was also a mass going on. This wasn’t ideal since I understand German quite well and felt a bit distracted by the words of the priest. That being said I could slip in a short dark void during my meditation. We’ve lighted a candle and did a short meditation by the candles. All and all during approximately 45 minutes. Afterwards we went trough the Hexengang again, and I’ve noticed it felt different. It felt lighter and much more neutral. Whereas we didn’t see anyone passing the day before. We were now interrupted by several people passing by, to frustration of Seraphina. But I think in hindsight another confirmation that the energy got lighter in that place. 

Teutoburger Wald - Walking the Line Between Life and Death 

Alétheia: 

We left Osnabrück to walk through the Teutoburger Wald. We drove South-East and ended up in the east part of the Teutoburger Wald. We found a nice parking spot at an entrance of the forest that started with a beautiful lake with a nice stream attached. We started our walk intuitively and after approximately 20 minutes there was a wooden path on our right side. 

I sensed we had to take a look there and as I wanted to express this to Seraphina, she had the same sense. We walked the wooden planks that were slightly elevated above the ground. In the end their was a wooden platform that looked over an open field in the middle of the forrest. Standing there looking out on this open field.

Seraphina: 

The place that attracted us both felt very dense and I know and felt that in Teugoburger Wald are a lot of lost souls due to their traumatic events they experienced. Souls who were looking for the light. Not only from WWII, but even far beyond that from Roman wars. I felt to urge inside me to bring light so I started to hum and sing.

Alétheia:

I got caught by emotions and I felt tears coming up. There was no wind and it was a sunny day. I knew from history that there were wars being fought in this area. And being a former marine I knew this place was a nightmare for any soldier wanting to cross this open field if your opponent was dug in on the other side. So I might have sensed the fallen. 

As Seraphina started to hum and sing, I was observing and taken in some deep breaths. This was when the wind picked up and it felt as if my emotions were swept away with the wind. The area felt for both of us much lighter and we continued our walk trough the forrest. 

Seraphina: 

On the way we spotted a lot of signs from the elementals; falcons, buzzards, red kite birds and a deer along the way. When we arrived back at the lake were we started we got mesmerized by two big herons who flew just 2-3 meters above our head. They were dancing in the air in front of us above the lake and it was a beautiful and unique sight to watch. 

March 27th - Detmold - War Echoes and Ancestral Currents 

Alétheia: 

After we left the Teutoburger Wald we stopped in Detmold for a cup of coffee since we were to early to check-in to our next stay. Serapina parked the car right beside a Franco-Prussian war memorial. We got our coffee first, but we felt to check it the monuments later on when we would return to the car. 

Knowing a little about military history I knew how rough and tactically insufficient these battles must have been. One of the structures was dedicated to the fallen officers. Officers that I knew made impossible decisions leading to death and disappear knowing there was never going to be a peaceful and harmless outcome. I got a sense of heartfelt and under appreciation on the bystanders who seemed unaffected by the memorial site. They used it as a normal park to walk your dog and let your children play. 

Externsteine - The Ancient Whispers in the Rock

Alétheia:

After we checked-in to our stay we left to visit the Externsteine. Seraphina really wanted to see the Externsteine before and around sunset, so we arrived at approximately 18:00. Walking up to the giant megaliths I’ve noticed a white buzzard in the trees nearby. He flew beside our course from tree to tree like it was guiding us to the site. 

Seraphina:

I felt such a pull to the giant megaliths, and more closer I came to this sacred site I felt so much emotions of grief and homecoming. I remembered this place deeply in my soul and I felt not only emotions of my remembrance, but I felt the distortions that were placed here for a long period of time. But it touched me also greatly to see how such sacred site became one of the touristic attraction shows. I was happy that at the time there where not many people. But the ones who came to the Externsteine came like most of the people for some cool snapshots and selfies for their social media and just walked by it as if it was nothing.

Alétheia:

The megalithic rocks were massive and impressive and I sensed Seraphina got caught up in a lot of emotion near and at this sacred place. I got the chills when I walked through the passage between two of the giant megaliths. We observed them greatly from every angle, from below and above and I noticed a geometric pattern in the lichen markings. It was remarkable even though it looked like a natural lichen marking. 

Seraphina:

I wanted to be there as long as possible before full darkness and in my hand I had the whole time a moss green agate crystal I wanted to offer. I felt immediately when we arrived the place where to go, a place that would be more ‘in your face’ but I felt the urge to look and see all other places before going there. So we walked and felt below, and we climbed and felt above. It was a magical place and now writing it I feel the energy again that makes me emotional.  As it was getting dark and we roamed the site for over an hour. We went down to the place where I knew I could offer my crystal without somebody finding or taking it. 

Alétheia:

Seraphina found the ultimate spot where we noticed also a strange figure in the stones. The was figure standing besides the door of one of the openings that leaded to a chamber that was closed of by metal bars. 

Seraphina: 

This figure holding an hatchet was far older than the more newer in carved symbols/work by Christians. It felt from the Roman time period and very much distorted. Nearby this place I found the perfect spot where I dropped my crystal. And in the moment I did that an forest owl starts to hoot as if it was confirming we found the right spot. The owl, is the watcher of the veils, the one who guards sacred wisdom and oversees transitions between worlds. And I knew, the call at that moment, was a signal of acknowledgement. 

Falkenburg & The Arminius Statue (Hermanssdenkmal)

Seraphina: 

After we had our breakfast and checked-out we left to the Falkenburg ruins. I parked the car in a not touristic spot so we walked up the mountain from a different route. I noticed a strange passage while we were heading up and felt this large stone. For others nothing ordinary but for me it felt like a passage way up to the mountains that was closed off a long time ago. 

Alétheia:

The Falkenburg ruins itself felt not extraordinary for me. But my eyes attention went to one tower that was still standing on the top of the mountain. Although it was forbidden, I climbed up one of the walls to have a look in what would appear as a part of a larger tower. It looked like they just dug up the ruin partially and the tower was filled back up with stones and dirt. But the thickness of the walls, suggested that in the past there must be something of interest inside it. 

Seraphina: 

The Falkenburg ruins had a lot of distorted energy, like there where many cultures her written here. I knew what they dug up, was definitely a smaller part of a much larger castle than was once placed on this spot. I wanted to see and feel every room that was dug up and there was one room that got more my attention. I placed my both hands on the wall and noticed that only in that corner where conical snails. When I closed my eyes, my eyes went wildly from side to side, as if I received knowledge that I will remember very soon. 

Alétheia:

After this we drove to the Arminius Statue (Hermanssdenkmal). We arrived early in the afternoon and laughed about the entrance. It was still closed but we noticed that an historical site was being turned into a big touristic attraction with different foodtrucks, different colored lasers, music and a lot of new electric cars people could see/buy. This place even had it’s own museum and restaurant. Although the statue impressed me by it’s size, I didn’t sense much of a remark being there. 

Closing

We didn’t travel to find answers. We traveled to remember what we already knew.

We walked through places shaped by both beauty and blood - stone markers of forgotten histories, forest that still echo with silent prayers, and craved monoliths that remember who we once were before forgetting.

We didn’t arrive as tourists. We arrived as witnesses. As earth unfolded her ancient memories beneath our feet, something softened.

This wasn’t just a journey through Osnabrück, Detmold or the Teutoburger Wald—This was a pilgrimage through our selves.

And in these quiet places - where birds flew like messengers, where wind shifted as if in response, and where time bent into memory—We were reminded that we don’t have to understand everything to know that it’s sacred. 

If this resonates, we invite you to walk with us.

With love & light,

Seraphina Anara & Alétheion Solara 🌿✨🌍
