This travel journal was originally intended to be a book of impressions about Africa as I travelled through each country but it turned into a book about how each country made its impact upon me and led me on a path of self-discovery as much as new learning about the places I visited. The whole experience was as much spiritual as intellectual and emotional and has led to a complete turn around in my life, the course of which has been followed ever since but not without its ups and downs, tests and challenges. It took the seven month duration of my travels to complete and parts of it were published in three instalments in the Manchester Evening News in 1973. However, I have since returned to it and using diary notes and clear-cut memories, I have expanded it into a much longer account with maps and photos added in as illustrations of what I saw and experienced along the way. Maybe this journal will speak to somebody reading it, will make them reflect and challenge them about how they are seeing life and where they are going with it. If it does then it will have achieved something very useful indeed. Apart from that it is also intended as an educational and informative resource about each of the African countries I have described. Robin Perry

Common throughout all antiquity, the practice of incubatio, or dream incubation, consisted of "sleeping in a temple or sacred place for oracular purposes."[1] Pilgrims would often travel considerable distances to reach such a temple or sanctuary in search of some divinely inspired dream vision. Within the sanctuary itself, they'd be placed in the care of officiating priests. These oneiromancers-versed in dream divination-would prepare the visitors' sleep by offering them the miraculous waters associated with the sanctuary, along with some soporific plant or medicinal concoction. Anyone who is interested in dream interpretation will be familiar with the works of Carl Jung and his allegorical dream-scapes of the collective unconscious. In truth, the allegorical expression of ideas pervades literature, art, music, religion, politics, business, and advertising - as well as everyday speech. For the magical practitioner, the immense richness of the allegorical tradition was thoroughly mined and exploited by no less an individual than Aleister Crowley himself, whose grasp of classical understanding knew no bounds. By entering our consciousness as 'symbolically abstract concepts' these classical entities do not in any way infringe on our belief in whatever godhead is pertinent to our personal faith, path or tradition when it comes to dreams and divination. In ancient times incubation occurred during the religious practice of sleeping in a sacred area with the intention of experiencing a divinely inspired dream or cure. Incubation was practiced by many ancient cultures and was later adopted by certain Christian sects and is still used in a few Greek monasteries.

'Magic and scent were conceptually linked in antiquity. Ancient authors sometimes treated magic as a type of smell; at other times odors were treated as a medium through which magic worked. Some authors compare the effect of smells to magic; others described scent and magic as different things but impossible to distinguish. Magicians used incenses and perfumes liberally to set the scene for their rituals and please the gods, as demonstrated by the corpus of spell books that survive from Greco-Roman Egypt; meanwhile, ancient deities signaled their presence by their divine fragrance.' So writes Britta Ager in her academic paper for Penn State University, Magic Perfumes and Deadly Herbs: The Scent of Witches' Magic in Classical Literature.

Since antiquity, varieties of quartz have been the most commonly used minerals in the making of jewellery and hard-stone carvings, while in the metaphysical world even the smallest piece is imbued with powerful properties that enable the bearer to cross the boundaries between the worlds. Archaeologists are now finding more and more evidence that quartz played an important part in the ritual and burial customs of our Ancestors.In truth, as Dr Meriem Clay-Egerton asserted some forty years ago, the use of quartz in prehistoric stone-working traditions was a worldwide phenomenon. For archaeologists, however, quartz was often misidentified, or ignored. Indeed, well into the 20th-century, quartz artefacts were routinely discarded during excavations. A new study reveals how Stonehenge has stood the test of time so successfully: The quartz crystals that make up the sarsens form an interlocking structure that makes the boulders nearly indestructible.

From a wide-eyed teenager, setting out into the world, to a world-weary traveller who is drawn to the back-roads and highways of Europe, this story dips into fifty years of travelling. Throughout the journey the author rubs shoulders with the rich and privileged through to the abandoned low-life of society. He journeys into strange places and meets with the strangers who live there. He touches on what it means to be alive, to be unshackled, and how the past never releases its hold; only its grip lessens through time. Along the way the author raises questions of morality and judgement, of trust and betrayal; all subjects to ponder as he walks the dirt-roads without destination. For him the journey is enough.
