AWEN: rock'n'roll druid roadtrip apocalypse (Screenplay)

AWEN

(Rock ’n’ Roll Druid Roadtrip Apocalypse)

Written by

D.D.CONWAY

OVERBLACK.

We hear the sound of the wilderness. The sound of two people walking in nature. The sound of a gentle wind, birds, rivers, the crunching of feet on a stoney mountain terrain. The sound of breath from from two hikers ready for a break. The sound is close and intimate we can imagine walking next to them.

A lady with a strong Yorkshire council estate accent speaks a Welsh word with a good Welch accent.

Betty

Helo cariad

CUT TO

Exterior. Long wide shot. Stunning lush green Welsh landscape fills the screen. Specifically ‘The Anglesey Druids Way’. We hear a brief stab of soundtrack/musical motif play, druid drone, a musical breath, stab of tribal drum, wind instrument, lute and synth jazz accompanies the cut to this shot, the music stops as quickly as it started and the sounds of nature resume. Our two protagonists are in deep conversation. The shot holds slowly we make out two people walking the timeless mystical Welsh landscape.

Dan (Speaks with a London accent)

So that’s how you say hello in Welsh.

Betty

Yeah, Helo cariad, it means Hello Lovie.

Dan

Helo cariad.

They continue to walk in silence for a few seconds towards the camera. They are still far away.

Dan

You know what name Welsh means?

Betty

No.

Dan

Outsider.

Betty

Outsider.

Dan

Yeah it was given to the original inhabitants of these isles by the invading Romans.

Betty

Bloody hell I never knew that.

Dan

Yeah me neither. The Celts. The Gauls in Europe. They were a vast multicultural self autonomous network on tribes that were spread from here, all the way to Turkey.

Betty

Until the Roman Empire.

Dan

Exactly.

Betty

So this place we are going to was the last stand of the Celts?

Dan

Yeah. The island of Anglesey. Its was the last stand of the Druids. It was called Mona back then.

Betty

60AD.

Dan

Aye.

Betty

And the Romans wiped them out.

Dan

Yeah, kinda. We are still talking about them, so they survived in a way I suppose. The Druids were the spiritual leadership, their Intellectuals, religious and legal overseers.

Betty

Humans love a bit of genocide don’t they.

Dan

Yeah nothings changed is it. Rome never fell it was a franchise.

Betty

What like McDonald’s ?

Dan

Exactly. The most dangerous philosophy on the planet is the franchise of the state. Communism, capitalism, neo liberalism, nationalism, fascism, all the Abrahamic religion these are all ideologies of the state. The state wants never ending control and power over it’s subject or should I say citizens. There are no borders no countries anymore just the transnational corporate fascist states. The ideologies of the state is what kills millions. Hitler, Stalin, Armenia, Cambodia, Iraq, Gaza,Darfur, Yemen. We live inside the architecture of system that degrades and reduces all human experiences and existential essence to a transaction, to profit or loss. In the red in the black. We are cattle managed by our oppressors. We the people of earth are the greatest threat to the current order that has existed all the way back to the Pharaohs and Persia. Keep us down, keep us poor, keep us locked in our homes sent to war, entertained, job scarcity, fear, keep us sick with poison in the food the air in the water. Mining the planet to destruction. The apple has been well and truly munched and now they want us all dead.

Betty

Just like the Druids.

Dan

Just like the fucking Druids. The good thing is the power lies with us to change it. This is in in a nutshell it’s the true nature the authentic essence of the struggle of humanities liberation, our cosmic evolution. The Mind-forg'd manacles. For the Many Not the Few. There are more of us then them.

Betty

Them?

Dan

The parasite class. The Few psychotic maniacs that rule like Caesar’s. There is no Britain or America or Europe or China or us or them there is only the Techno Fascist Global Super State.

Betty

The Fourth Reich.

Dan

Exactly.

Betty

You really believe that?

Dan

It obvious isn’t.

Betty

And the Roman Empire was the First Reich.

Dan

Yeah.

Betty

So the Romans were Nazi’s.

Dan

Yeah something like that…proto Nazi’s.

Betty

Cunts

Dan

Yeah total fucking douche bag wankers.

Betty and Dan continue to walk towards the camera. They are closer now. We see can see them large in MG. Valley B.G. rocky road F.G. The camera low as our protagonists walk closer they loom up large like giants.

Betty

And they want us all dead? That doesn’t make sense.

Dan

Thinking about it. What happened in the West after the industrial revolution was finished?

Betty

Elvis and the Beatles.

Dan

Close.

Betty

World Wars.

Dan

World Wars 1 & 2. After the black death and the Peasants Revolt. They turned everyone from serfs into wage slaves, we left the land and were herded into cities and the factories. The dark Satanic Mills.

Betty

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Dan

And when the industrial revolution was over.

The world was torn apart and reshaped for the post war Disney land nightmare we now inhabit. 6million Jews died but another 60 million dead fighting in those wars. Imagine that wiping generations humans. Wiping the slate clean.

Betty

History in the making

And thats happening again now?

Dan

Exactly HIS-STORY, not ours.

The Jungian shadows of our entire species is screaming for blood

Betty

So the AI revolution herds us into a post industrial serfdom and WW3.

Dan

Mental init, the swing of the pendulum.

We've had our black death.Covid.Now looking where we are heading. Business for the parasite class is booming. We work harder and get less back. They have us fighting amongst ourselves the left right paradigm is as genius as ever. Now they've discombobulated the sexes and 2 + 2 no longer equals four. Attention spans have been executed critical thinking imprisoned and programmed by the algorithm.

Betty

Empire 101.

Dan

Divide and conquer.

Betty

And yet out here now, there is none of it. None of it is real.

Dan

The Fourth Reich is real.

Betty

You really believe this Fourth Reich business don’t you.

Dan

Unfortunately yes.

Betty

So as you say the world wars were about which form of fascism would rule the world?

Dan

The crystal meth charged fascism of Nazi Germany or the slow insidious suffocation of corporate bureaucratic hyper consumer capitalism. Project Paperclip.

Betty

So now we yoyo from one controlled Armageddon to another. Wealth transfers, food shortages, energy lock downs, 15 minute cuties, digital ids, the global surveillance grid is active and it isn't for our safety it’s for the parasite class.

Dan

The unfree people of Earth are the greatest threat to the pyramid. And we are all marching towards the nexus point it’s just some of us don’t know, wont know it or refuse to know it.

Betty

What happens at the nexus point?

Dan

A choice

Betty

A choice?

Dan

Death or glory

Betty

Just another story

Betty and Dan sing the Clash Death or Glory together.

Betty and Dan

Death or Glory, becomes just another story. 

Silence for a few seconds as they continue to walk towards the camera.

Betty

I'd bloody love a McDonald's now.

Dan (Smiles and looks at her).

Have you got any gear left?

Betty

Yeah you want some.

Dan

When in Rome.

They smile at each other. Stop walking right in front of the camera. Dan get his compass out and is checking their direction. Looking up at the sky and the landscape. Betty gets out a bag of cocaine from her bum bag. They key some cocaine into each nostril. They have cuddle and a snog.

Dan

I bloody love you Betty Lou.

Betty

I love you too ma Danny boi.

They reach simultaneously into their deep military jacket pockets and pull out beers, they crack them open they fizz and foam, they smash them together toasting:

Dan

Slainte mhath.

Betty

Cheers lovie.

Title of movie super imposed over the scene, filling the screen. Written in super hot neon pink with W.O.P Sigil. The title is accompanied with more of soundtrack motif, tribal drums, wind instrument, lute cosmic druid space synth drone. The title and music hold for a few second while Betty and Dan drink.

Title:

AWEN

(Rock ’n’ Roll Druid Roadtrip Apocalypse)

They carry on walking towards the camera. The title and music disappear. The sounds of nature and footsteps take over again.

Betty

How long till we reach the camp site? It’s getting dark.

They walk off screen the camera holds on the same wide long shot. We hear nature and the footstep moving away from the camera with the conversation still on going.

Dan

Not long

The rustling of a map and compass.

Dan

Just up there, a couple more hours.

CUT TO:

A ominous daunting landscape, darkening with a change of weather for the worse. Dan and Betty are off screen. We are watching the weather change. Subtle Ominous tones.

Betty

Bloody hell we should have brought more gear.

The conversation fades out slowly with the footsteps.

Betty

That a gorgeous compass, is it old

Dan

Yeah I thinks so I bought on Portobello Market the other week. Listen Betty i told you we are getting clean we can’t carry on like this. We can’t be dependant on substances we gotta break the cycle. We have to find ourselves again. We are lost in the Sepulchral city and the world is about to end. We only have ourselves to conquer not the world. We are alchemists searching for the gold, we need to transmutate. Absorb our Jungian shadows to self actualise.

Betty

You might want to transmogrify but I bloody love getting my buzz on. Cocaine is the only thing that works, helps me fight my med.

Dan

Betty we can’t carry on like this we have to change.

This is the last we hear of the conversation. The camera holds on the valley for a few seconds.

CUT TO BLACK.

We hear the sound of rain and wind and nature. The rustling of two people in a tent. We hear Breathing. We realise Betty and Dan are fucking.

Betty

I want you to come inside me.

The sound of someone trying to cum.

Frustrated silence.

Betty

Don’t worry lovie, it’s just the coke.

The sound of a match strike lighting cigarette.

CUT TO:

We see our protagonists inside a small tent bathed in the silver light of the Moon. The match goes out. Dan and Betty sharing a cigarette and swigging from a bottle of Chartreuse.

Dan

I so fucking high. Did we do all the coke?

Betty

Yes lovie that all the cokes gone.

Dan

Good.

Betty

Breuddwydion melys cariad

Dan

What does that mean?

Betty

Sweet dreams lovie

Dan

We ain’t gona sleep tonight my love.

Betty

I know.

They lay in silence for a few seconds. We see the cigarette burning red lighting their faces.. We hear the wind and the rain stop.

Dan

Fancy a spliff, that’ll chill us out.

Betty

Sure lovie that and this bottle of Chartreuse. Fucking hell it’s strong.

Dan starts to skin up a hash spliff.

Betty takes another swig from the bottle. She grimaces. We see the bottle of chartreuse is half drunk.

Betty

Bloody Nora….you say Hemingway used to drink this stuff?

Dan

Yeah.

Betty

It’s rocket fuel.

Dan

Yeah it’s great init.

Betty

Do you think this journey will help you write your book?

Dan

I fucking hope so or I’m gona kill myself.

Betty

Life is for the living lovie. You just need to relax your so uptight.

Betty wiggles round and starts to massage Dan’s neck and shoulders. Dan relaxes dropping his head.

Dan

Ah that’s good.

Betty

You live like a monk, so strict. Writing and studying and practicing your special rituals and whatever it is you do.

Dan

Getting blotto everyday isn’t living Betty that’s death. That’s the nihilistic malaise of dis-enchantment. That’s failing to full fill your potential because your too scared to try because you might fail or because your just to goddamn stupid and lazy.

Betty

Lovie if you’ve lived through what I’ve lived through you’d be a bloody mess. It’s miracle I’m still here. This world has tried to ruin me from the day I was born.

Dan

I know babe that’s why I love you so much. Your so strong and you always have a smile and you make your self happy and your always so kind and generous to everybody. I wish I could have your power.

Betty

You do lovie. Your fabulous, you just need to stop giving your self such a hard time. You’ll write when its time to write. You just need to relax.

Dan

That’s not good enough for me Betty, you have to fight and you have to push. Our time is running out Betty. Every moment is precious we can’t waste it being fucking hammered all the time.

Betty

But it’s not your fault you have to work and no matter how hard you work you still have no money and we are all gona die in poverty…that’s how you say it isn’t it?

Dan

Exactly.

Betty

Ah the rains stopped Lovie.

Dan

Finally we have survived the deluge.

Dan lights the spliff. Coughs and passes it Betty.

Suddenly a fire starts in the tent. They try to put it out but they can’t the fire jumps up quickly. They frantically chaotically scrabble around and out of the tent grabbing what they can.

Dan

Fucking hell get out Betty…..get out.

CUT TO BALCK.

The sound of fire and burning and nature. The sound of an Owl.

CUT TO:

Betty and Dan standing half dressed in what clothes they could rescue. They are clearly high and drunk and wet and windswept. They are watching their tent burn and most of their belongings. Dan takes a swig from the bottle and looks up to the stars. We hear the sound of rustling and crushing mountain brush. Sounding like a person or is it just animals and nature?

Dan

What the fuck was that?

Dan jumps and turns looking into the night.

Dan

Hello is there anyone there? Show your self?

Betty

There’s no one there Lovie? I’m from Yorkshire. It’s just nature.

Dan

I defiantly saw something.

Dan stoops down and picks up a rock.

Dan

Show your self? We are friendly but I will fucking cave your fucking head in.

Betty is super chilled smoking a spliff and watching the fire.

Betty

Chill out Dan for fuck sake we are in the middle of nowhere it’s just us. Besides if some psycho is out there wanting to rape and murder us I’m not sure he’s gona be to put off by you in your knickers waving a rock around.

Betty passes him the bottle. He takes it and swings.

Betty

Besides they will wait for us to sleep.

No more spliff for you lovie.

Dan looks to the stars and breaths out, deflated.

Dan

Look at it Betty it’s fucking incredible init.

Betty

I know. I’m from Yorkshire.

Dan

There was a time when people could navigate their way around the globe with only the stars as their guides.

Betty

Can you Lovie?

Dan

No.

Betty

Don’t worry lovie, the Sun will be up soon and we can go home.

Dan

No.

Betty

No.

Dan

I mean no. I am not going home. I am not finished yet. This is just the beginning. This is the point of no return. We have to press on or this is just a load of bollocks like everything else back there in London, the city, the entire fucking world is gone, lost their heads programmed by the algorithm, eternally lost in the cognitive dissonance of late stage capitalism. I can’t do it anymore Betty. I have to find what I’m looking for or I’m not going to  make it.

Betty

What are you looking for lovie?

Dan

Evolution.

Betty

Evolution?

Dan

Spiritual cosmic enlightenment.

Betty

Oh that again.

Dan(smiles )

Yes that again Betty.

Betty

Will this help?

Betty pulls out a bag of mushrooms and pilLs and vape pens.

Dan laughs and his eyes smile.

Dan

Betty your like bloody Buddha. You’ve worked it out along time ago haven’t you. I love you your a fucking genius.

Betty

I know. So which way are we going?

Betty starts eating the mushrooms. Dan watches as the fire dies down.

Dan

I dunno exactly, the map and compass are gone. North West ish, up there, over there somewhere.

Betty hands Dan the bag of mushrooms. He chomps them down. They grimaces as they eat. They share the liquor they grimace more.

They giggle and laugh at their situation. They holding each other close as the sun starts to rise.

Betty

Come on lovie we better get going no time to waste.

They walk off off in the general direction of North West. They walk towards the camera holding hands like Adam & Eve in Eden as the sunrise behind them they are perfectly in balance with nature and the stunning Welsh landscape.

Their banter continues as they walk past the camera. The sound of foot steps in nature and conversation fades out. The rising sound of the Druid Synth drone motif bubbles up and holds with the shot of the rising sun.

Dan

What are you looking for Betty?

Betty

You. I found you and I’m not letting you go.

CUT TO:

Sweeping drone footage of the landscape. Montage drone footage of Betty and Dan walking and seeing the markings of  the Druid alphabet Ogham on stones and trees. Full motif soundtrack Druid space drone.

CUT TO:

Betty and Dan performing the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram at Druid ruin. Betty is copying Dan. Dan and Betty are novices but enthusiastic.

Dan began’s The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram:

As they perform the ritual we see special effects. There move movements of their hands draw electric neon lines.

He starts with the opening gesture of the Qabalistic Cross to center his energy. He closes his eyes and raises his right arm pulled down the cosmic energy as he touches his forehead and vibrates the words out loud long and deep finding harmony with the Druidic ruins.

     Dan

    “AETH”

  Betty copies.

He moves his hand from his head to his loins and vibrates the word “Malkuth” His hand flows to his right shoulder and vibrated the words “ve-Geurah” and next too his left shoulder “ve-Gedulah” Bringing his hands together clasping fingers “Olam Amen”.

They opens their eyes in unison with their bodies and minds centred, at one with themselves, each other and the universe.

Dan steps forward and traced with his finger tips of his right hand a large Banishing Earth Pentagram in the air visualising a glowing blue flame which we can see too—and "charge" it by vibrating it’s Divine Name. Repeating this at each cardinal direction, connecting them with a circle of white light:

East: YHVH (Yod-He-Vau-He)

South: Adonai

West: Eheieh

North: AGLA

Dan and Betty are surround by four flaming neon blue pentagrams

Now Dan begais the Evocation of the ArchangelsStanding with arms outstretched like a cross, he invokes the four archangels to guard the circle:

“Before me  (East): Raphael”

“Behind me (West): Gabriel”

“On my right (South): Michael”

“On my left(North): Uriel”

"For about me flames the Pentagram, and within me shines the six-rayed Star”.

We see the ghosts of the archangels the pentagrams and the six rayed star.

Dan repeats the Qabalistic Cross to the seal the energy.

Dan

Wow can you feel that?

Betty

Yeah lovie I can bloody see it.

They stand together in the centre of the Druid ruins surround by the flaming blue pentagrams. They are both tripping hard.

Betty

What do we do now lovie.

Dan

Meditate.

Betty

Meditate.

Dan

Yeah on our intentions.

Betty

Oh Yeah the sigil.

Dan

The sigil.

We see that each of them are holding a large flat stone.

CUT TO:

POV Shot from above. Two hands coming into view. One from the left, one hand from the right over the landscapes ground. They open their hands in unison next to each other to revealing the stones with sigils written with blood. We notice blood on each of their hands, a small cut on each on their fingers.

The sit down back to back and mediate. The flaming pentagrams fade. We have a 360 Timelapse shot of the them mediating as the Sun passes over head. Druid soundtrack motif. We hear sounds of internal conflict from their pasts. Betty’s and Dan dark moments the things that haunt them. Children crying, parents shouting. Fighting. Police sirens. Abusive taunting.

They open their eyes in unison the druid soundtrack motif stops. Betty and Dan are calm.

CUT TO:

Close up of Betty’s eye. Just the sound of a heart beat.

CUT TO:

Close up of Dan’s eye.  Just the sound of a heart beat.

CUT TO:

Sun.  Just the sound of a heart beat.

CUT TO:

Betty and Dan sat in Druid Ruin under the Sun.

The sound of nature flows back in.

Dan

I’m hungry.

Betty

Me too.

Dan

We don’t have any food do we?

Betty

Nah its all burned to a crisp back at our BBQ’d tent.

Dan

Empty your pockets let’s see what we got?

Betty and Dan rummage through their pockets and drop all their worldly belongings. A couple of lighters. A box of matches from a hotel in Paris. Some Hash. Empty bags of coke. A vape pen. A military water bottle. A flick knife. A bag of American cigarettes soft pack, a few cigarettes left. A hand full of cola bottles and a couple of lollipops.

Betty

Fuck we are gona die out here aren’t we.

Dan

Maybe.

They look at each other and smile.

Betty

At least we will die together my love. Maybe they will find our bodies entwined together for eternity. Just like Pompeii. They might thing we were druids.

Dan

We should leave them a message.

Betty

Leave who a message?

Dan

The future that never comes.

Betty

How about don’t be cunts.

Dan

Yeah what about overthrow your slaves masters and set yourselves free.

Betty

Don’t Be Ruled.

Dan

That’s it Betty…Don’t be Ruled.

Betty

We need to make a fire or we will freeze to death.

Dan

The power of fire. What next. The wheel…the bow and arrow.

Betty

Don’t forget the humble cup.

Dan

The cup?

Betty

Yeah probably the first tool. Before the hammer before the spear or the arrow. The cup. To drink and nourish, to hold and contain and store. The mother of all inventions.

They both hear a sound. A rock falling. It sounds like someone is out there. The Sun is setting. They stop and listen. Eerie sudden silence. No sound, no birds, no wind or water.

Dan

I told you there was someone there…they’ve been following us all along.

Betty

Maybe.

Dan

What do you mean maybe? I thought you said it was just paranoia. You said it as just us and nature.

Betty and Dan are getting freaked out and scared.

Betty

Yeah but that defo sounded like something didn’t it…rocks don’t just fall on their own. Do they? Beside I think I saw something over there?

Dan

Where?

Betty Points to a rocky dark shadowy patch.

Dan stands up and picks up the flick knife. He marches forward a few steps. Betty picks up a rock and stand next to him

Dan

I fucking told you cunt. Come out where I can see you or your dead fucking meat.

Betty

Yeah. We’ll kick your cocks off cunts.

They stand ready to attack. There is a snap of a branch behind them. They turn alarmed.

Dan

Fire.

Betty

Fire.

Betty and Dan run around collecting branches and leaves and stones and whatever they can find to burn and dash into the druid cave temple.

CUT TO:

Close up of a burning fire in a cave. The sound of crackling. We hear Dan reading out loud from a book. He is excited and passionate and lucid. The reverb of a cave covers his words. We hear him pacing back and forth. As he reads we see his shadow dancing on the walls, we see the shadow of Betty carving a spear with a knife.

Dan

The final contact with the 'Empty Room' this, 'the Last Symbol' is absorbed into the consciousness and thus the 'Empty Room' no longer exists. The 'Empty Room' as its name implies has no 'furniture', no forms. It is a narrow confine at first filled with 'Essences' and Light', but these also will fade out at the end. The spirit realises this narrow confine as its symbol of itself and absorbs this symbol, Thus does the individual soul attain to perfect free-will through recognition of his own 'field of limitation' which is the complete acceptance of the Past which in turn gives realisation of the Future within the integrated and illuminated man. Thus are 'Past' and 'Future' synthesised in the present and this is

Daath.

CUT TO:

We see a warm and cosy cave with Dan and Betty looking like wild apocalypse cave people. Bits of modern clothing torn and earthy. Lots of naked flesh. They wear nature. They have returned to nature. They are in Plato’s cave.

Betty is sitting down next to the fire carving a spear. Betty is looking up at Dan as he reads and she looks back  down at her carving of the tip of the spear.

Betty

So your saying that she is saying to attain free will we have to accept the past which intern creates the potential future and that lets us be all powerful in the present and current and ever on going eternal now.

Dan and Betty smile at each other playfully saying the next line unison.

Betty & Dan

Exactly

Dan

We cannot be ruled by emotions pivoting from one wild feeling to the next this is the behaviour of a child. We reap what we sow. We have to do the work to evolve as human beings, this is the cosmic cycle up and down the Tree of Life.

Betty

But we don’t know about it do we. They don’t teach us in school about The Tree of Life, made up of nodes, of the Sephiroth representing all manifested reality and the macro and micro relations between humanity and entire cosmic universe.

Betty & Dan

As Above So Below.

Betty

How does information, knowledge if you will help any of us poor fuckers that have to work till the day we die isolated demented poverty and pay our bills and taxes and debts and go to war and die. Our function is to be poor and die and be stupid and die or I suppose we can always pretend to be like those pseudo intellectual wankers and read the Times and vote and think this world is acceptable and this is just human nature. The trickle down effect and social Darwinism and the long list of ideologies and philosophies to bend the knee, preaching slavery in this world is just our lot and we have to grin and bare it until we goto heaven or are reincarnated and get to have another go learning from our mistakes until we return to the void for all eternity. Or that there is just nothing beyond this material world and it all just a nasty horror show.

Dan

Listen to this. But the consciousness of Daath is not achieved through the abnegation

of the mind, the emotions or the sensations; rather are these factors extended to their uttermost so that there is a change from what would be called normal functioning of that factor. Transmutation or alchemy takes place and on the evolutionary aspect there is transcendence; on the level of intelligence there is what could be called intuition, light in

extension, wisdom. On the emotional level there are the feelings extended to the ecstasy of divine union which is love, and on the sensory level there is perception extended to the ecstasy of immortality which is strength.

Betty

Pills Lovie. She was high on MDMA when she wrote that. She knew. When did she write that?

Dan looking at book for date.

Dan

1935

Betty

Bloody Hell

Dan

I know its mental init, they were closer and more aware then we are now.

Betty

We are lost in the fucking digital apocalypse of a global fascist psy op to manifest the Fourth Reich and enslave humanity for a 1000 years of darkness.

Dan

Exactly. This is the spiritual battle for humanities soul. It’s each individuals journey of inner enlightenment, an internal revolution that will leads to an external revolution. We can’t beat them with guns and bombs. We have to beat them with heart, spirit, mind.

Betty

The Holy Trinity

Betty & Dan

They look at each other playfully but say nothing.

Dan (Reading)

It is not a matter of being in a different place or environment but of being in a different state. The basic Intelligence of the Spirit is one of creativity which is used or abused or neglected by the mind and the emotions and sensations according to the 'state' of the individual concerned. Man has within himself all the qualities he needs; he does not need to develop them; what he has to do is to create and demonstrate the necessary states for their growth and flowering. The seed contains the flower and God made man in His own Image.

Betty

You know it’s been ages. I don’t think anyone was out there, its just us. Our Imaginations running wild.

Dan

Maybe.

Dan closes the book and puts it by the fire. We see the title and front page of the book with dancing fire and shadows. Dion Fortune’s Mystical Qabala, the fire dancing on the cover in the F.G. Dan in the B.G picks up his spear which has been resting on the wall and marches to the entrance of cave and looks out.

Dan

I’ll shove this up your arse.

Waving and jabbing his spear into the night.

Betty

Someone there.

Dan

No…I can’t see a bloody thing. Just a precaution.

Betty

Speaking of different states.

Betty pulls out the vape pen.

Betty

Shall we visit the Empty Room.

Dan

Maybe we should wait…just in case.

Dan turning and straining to see through the dark outside the cave.

Betty

Dan there is no one out there and if there is it’s probably a family on some hike dragging their bored kids around. They are probably off to call the police and let them know there are two half naked loons dancing around a fire with spears in a cave screaming obscenities into the night. I mean it is Beltane. We can’t be the only ones here.

Dan

Yeah I know. Oh shit.

Dan runs out into the night and Betty Follows with her spear.

Betty

What is it?

Dan is searching the stars.

Dan

It’s Beltane, it must be the 1st of May.

Betty

We made it. Look the Sun is starting to rise.

Betty and Dan stand in the first rays of the new rising Sun. Spears in one hand and holding each others hands with the other. They kiss and hold each other watching the sun.

CUT TO:

Betty and Dan fucking in the cave. Glimpses off flesh and movement, fire burning, shadows on the wall. The Moon outside the Druid ruins the valley and landscape, animals, birds rivers, the rising Sun. We audibly hear them climax.

CUT TO:

Betty and Dan by the fire smoking cigarettes, cuddling on the floor laying on their clothes and finishing the last of spirits.

Dan

Come on then let’s have a blast of D.M.T.

Betty gives Dan the vape pen and he pulls three times. Hands it to Betty she does the same. They sink back on the floor together.

CUT TO:

Space Odyssey end sequence/David Lynch’s Twin Peaks season 3 Episode Part 8 Experimental abstract light show (HEAVY FLOW. Combine liquid lights with AI and layering and editing with Peak of Druid soundtrack motif.

CUT TO:

Dan and Betty are laying on the floor still in the cave and fire is still burning. People in Druidic robes enter the cave and pick up Betty and Dan and carry them into the Sun and into the Druid temple. The Druid’s throat sing in harmony with the ruins, nature, the rivers and the birds. At the peak of the ceremony two of the Druids take off there robes they are naked they are Betty and Dan. They looks dark and sinister. They are Betty and Dan’s Jungian shadow side. We see that the Shadow side Betty and Dan have a sickle each. They move up to the sleeping Betty and Dan, with malevolent intent. They get up close and sniff and inspect and  move the sickle close over their flesh.They have the sickle over the throats of their sleeping doppelgängers, ready to slit as there music and ceremony reaches the peak. Suddenly the music and ceremony stops. Sleeping Betty and Dan open their eyes and the doppelgängers stare into each others eyes. The shadow side Betty and Dan, merge like ghosts into Betty and Dan and become one.

CUT TO:

A blinding divine light is blasting into the cave. They get up and walk into the light and disappear.

CUT TO:

Betty and Dan walking back across the Welsh Landscape. The Sun is shining the landscape is divine and magical. Betty and Dan have had the experience they need. They are wild and natural like Adam & Eve meets Mad Max. They jump in a stream and wash and fill their water tank. Warm dream like camera. They are happy and recharged. Transmuted ? Redemption achieved?

Betty start humming the druid chant. Dan joins in.

CUT TO:

Betty and Dan walking clean and drying in the Sun. Still humming the Druid song. Then we realise the river and the landscape and the birds are all humming the same song. They stop and look at each other. They turn to look to where they have come from. There’s a a small cloud traveling on it’s own over the peak of the mountain/ Druid ruin. There is a crack of lighting and thunder from nowhere. The cloud starts raining in that one spot. There a rainbow appears. We watch this divine sight with Betty and Dan and feel the magic and hope of life and the eternal flame.

Betty and Dan look at each other and smile.

Betty and Dan

Exactly

Betty

What’s that your always bang on about Goethe rainbow.

Dan smiles playfully

Dan

Goethe said that our lives are like the droplets of rain that are passing through the rays of sun at the right angle  and the right time and that this moment in the rainbow is out lives, our experience of this reality. We are the rainbow, and our life is our so transitory, then poof…gone back to the great abyss from whence we came and return. We have to realise that and how precious every moment is and we have to live and fight and never give up. Especially for all the people in this world that never even get close to this chance we have. We have to follow our true will and we can only do that by knowing thy self.

What was it Dion Fortune said in that book? Then Shall I  know as I am known.

Dan

That's it. Come on we got a train to catch.

They start to run off. They run off together in the glory of the valley. We are left to wonder. Upon their return to the city and their lives will they make it? Are they changed or will they fall back into bad habits and the same old cycles of the machine?

CUT TO BLACK.

The sound of nature the birds sing the druid song motif. The sound of them running. The sound of a train.
