'Conjure Alders' is a strange name. There are alder trees at the location but the word 'conjure' to me indicates spiritual trickery and magic. Having been there very early in the morning and late in the evening, whilst never being frightened as such, there is no escaping a feeling that the place is full of atmosphere and with little effort one's imagination could run riot. This is a place where two rivers meet, the forest rivers, Maun and Meden. The meeting or confluence of two rivers are sacred and magical places in mythology and even to the present day in some cultures.
The location has in the past been known as 'Coningswath'. The experts say that the word is a meeting of two Scandinavian words: konungr and vað which means the 'kings ford'. Also referred to as the 'Kings Crossing', it is believed, documented in fact, that the Sherwood Forest perambulations commenced at this point.
Something is happening here, ethereal, moving, timeless . . .
