Secrets of the Valley
Secrets of The Valley,Episode 1: The Lily
by Simon Mitchell

This land is my memories. 
For two thousand years this valley has been mine alone. 

I know every rock, every stream and every tree. I know the forces that shape this land and the people who inhabit it.

This land is me.

A billion years ago this land was a migratory trail for the animals of Western Europe. They roamed freely across the huge land of one continent. Millennia passed as the rivers washed silt to the ocean and the sun raised rain to the sky. At that time the mass of Eurasia was joined. The tectonic plates shifted and islands formed, raising proud, green peninsulas on green water, thrust out to the ocean. 

Long before my time the forces of nature battled along the coasts of Western Europe. From the Southwest, the Gulf Stream warmed and opened the land with summer heat. From the north, ice raged and cracked the rock of what would become the British Isles.

The land tells me it was an epic struggle. The generous heat of earth, venting her spleen, the wash of the water, cooling and circulating air. Rain succoured the land and ran back to the sea, endless cycles, repeating endlessly. The earth shifted, chasms opened and the sea swept in, submerging areas and separating the islands of Britain and Ireland from the mainland. Spouts of boiling lava spewed from the molten centre of earth to create granite formations, a source of wonder till the end of time.

A great rift opened up what is now the Bristol Channel and the Irish Sea, separating the land into distinct areas. Many characteristics still connect Brittany, Ireland, Wales, and Cornwall. Their joining can still be seen in place and people. But veins of power run through the sea, a matrix of energy criss-crosses the land and reaches out around our planet.

The Phoenicians, Egyptians and Greeks journeyed to these coasts even before the Iron Age, in search of Keltic wisdom, since long before the time of my youth. The Romans followed the trail of gold and wisdom across the sea to Cornwall and then to Wales and Ireland. Later, tin trade followed these routes across Brittany and the journeys of wise men and saints to the west of land, the land of setting sun, of Gods and the quest for immortality that haunts us all.

Ships and boats from the French and Spanish coasts often sailed to rivers on the south coast of Cornwall in search of trade and journey with the friendly and civilised Keltii, hopefully avoiding the pirates that have ravaged these coasts for millennia. 

My story is located in the valley of one of these rivers, now called ‘River Fowey’. It is a story that I have not been able to tell until now. 

Who am I? 

A ghost; once a boy called Fintan, born 2000 years ago and adrift in the matrix of nature until now, with a secret that has changed the course of history on the face of Earth.

Long ago, by the river, a man gave me something quite by accident, a small sprig of Lily of the Valley. It was a gift from his mother for his safe return to Jerusalem. This is the gift that gave me the power to heal, and the power to see the energies that run through the Earth - and what has been done to them.

But my story starts with finding a friend to reveal this secret that has been hidden in the land of the Fowey Valley for too long. This first novel in a trilogy is called 'Secrets of the Valley', and chronicles my first life, as Fintan the tanner who became a healer, 2000 years ago.
