The Wells of TanitEpisode Eleven: CAMINO
“These caminos are the gateway into the labyrinth…”
What do we find if we unpeel the layers of Ibiza’s traditional dirt roads? We discover a hidden mycelial network of interconnected stories, and an insular way of life that was bound together by the paths the people trod. We discover the old, forgotten rhythms of Ibiza, and a sense of what was sacred and important to the Ibicenco people before the arrival of tourism. But in the red earth camino we also unexpectedly find a mirror and a metaphor for the road of life that we all walk, and some...2023-10-311h 43

Before me, who else has thought of fashioning a handcrafted figure representing an imaginary being..... why did they do it, what was driving them? Welcome to a world where reality and fantasy are sometimes hard to separate, where dreams can become delusions and where a fairytale can suddenly flip into a nightmare..... this is Episode Ten: Puppets and Dolls.

'I remember when I first laid eyes on 'X'.....'
Episode Nine is devoted to the mystery, the myth and the meaning behind the letter 'X', as found in the local place names and language of Ibiza. What is the story behind these 'X's which are found on so many of Ibiza's roadsigns, from La Xanga in the South, to Portinatx in the North? As markings leading us back to Eivissa's Catalan roots, what precious, local information is buried within them?

We embark on this journey into Ibiza's closed, Insular nature at a very suitable location - the hermit's spring of Es Cubells, once home to the carmelite monk Francisco Palau i Quer, who spent prolongued periods meditating in isolation on the nearby uninhabited rock, Es Vedrà. From this enchanted spot, we contemplate th...2020-08-311h 01The Wells of TanitEpisode Six: THE BIG BLUEAfter a ridiculously long absence, we return to the ancient wells of Tanit to dive into the myths and the mysteries of The Big Blue - the waters which surround the island of Ibiza.
Episode Six is recorded beside Es Pouet, a historical well in the most unexpected location - on a beach in the built up, highly touristic town of San Antonio on Ibiza's west coast.

With the help of an imaginary treasure map, we will journey through those layers of routes which have brought tribes of people, ideas and 'things' to and from this little Mediterranean island, giving it a cultural identity which is complex and staggeringly rich, but w...2019-10-231h 09The Wells of TanitEpisode Four: HOMEIn this episode we dig deep into the theme of Home, in relation to the modern and ancient culture of Ibiza.

I chat with an...2019-09-151h 06The Wells of TanitEpisode Three: SUNOn Ibiza, an island converted by mass tourism into a 'mecca' for modern day sun worship, what is the authentic cultural and mythological significance of the sun? Join me this month on a quest to the Font d'en Miquelet, a well near to Santa Gertrudis in Northern Ibiza which is painted with mysterious ancient symbols which some associate with the sun.
