The Rollright Stones. The nearest major megalithic site to my home.:)


aww this brings back memories of my childhood...I used to run around this site all the time. :)

i visited it for the 1st time about 2 yrs ago.... its a most powerful place

[amercury]

its strange because i drove past a fake stone circle today. It was in the middle of a rundown area of the city and they have stuck a fucking stone circle in the middle of it set in red and white circular lines like a target!

i cant find any images but i will try and go back to get some photos! I got a real bad vibe in my solar plexus when i saw it today... and then i see this fake stone henge and it has the same effect.



WTF? tptb wont be spending good money on this shite if it wasnt effecting us in some way.


We have a fake one here in Pennsylvania...this guy, who used to be a man of the cloth, created it on his land near Blue Mountain. It is supposed to be a replica of Columcille, which was a circle of stones on the Isle of Iona off the coast of Scotland. Supposedly St. Collumcille brought Christianity to the island and had the stones thrown into the sea :mad:

Anyway it is actually a pretty cool place because the guy who made it has the best intentions.
Here are some pics...I always get weird lights and orbs in my pics from there.

there is a blue and red orb hovering above the center stone

crazy light effect

This is the biggest stone in the area

But..alas it is a FAKE and doesn't compare at all to real ancient sites.

Have you guys seen mynameis new thread?? Looks like they have found the mother of all megalithic sites in Turkey.

looks a nice place amercury :)

What wonderful picture's here :-) and it is nice to see that Julian Cope has had a mention - his book was something i've longed wanted to do, but the man himself beat me to it lol.

It's nice to see them collated here, and to get a feel for everyones view - you don't always get that in a book written through the eyes of historians. Julians own words are magical eneough and he seems to capture the beauty of the places perfectly ;-)

Minature Avebury.
This is the closest stone circle to me. Ive visited it more times than i care to remember. The stones are recumbant like the dial of a clock face, all fanning out from the centre. Some say that the christians knocked them down but i think it was built like this. The water erosion on the horizontal stones seems to be very very old, pre dating christian times. The circle has its own henge bank with and entrance and exit and it even has its own silbury hill called Gib Hill, a round barrow a short distance away.

Its a wonderful circle, very powerful and I know people who go there for healing.

best wrap up warm if you go to Arbor Low Its high on the peaks and its mostly grey, wet and windy.

Wow, Arbor Low, what a beautiful place. I'm a little closer to Birchover's Nine Ladies, but Arbor Low is just around the corner - i've had some great times here, having a smoke on the bank, watching the birds and the clouds sail by, soaking up that wonderful energy. In many ways she is quieter and more relaxed than Avebury, and you can just lie back and take in her beauty - and i'm lucky enough to live just around the corner :-)

it is nice to see the pictures here, thank you for posting :-)

hi merlincove

arbor low is my closest circle.... although my favorite is doll tor. you know it? you must do if your from that area :)

Im from stoke, so a small drive is in order for me... but your very lucky to live amongst such beauty and energy. :)

[merlincove]

hi jojo :-)

wel i'm from just outside Ripley - so i often get the chance to visit stanton moor, altho i haven't been down to dol tor for some time now, i find that it has more of a witchy feel to it than any of the others in the area. it is set in an absolutely beautiful part of the moor though and the evergreens add to its energy nicely :-)

my fav circle in derbyshire is perhaps wet withens up on eyam as it is always so secluded - do you know that one?

no, ive never been to that one, i want to though. there are a few in derbyshire that i havent been to yet.... hope this year will see me visiting them all :)

yes, Doll Tor is very very witchy in feel :D thats why i love it so much i think

[merlincove]

Good luck with that jojo :-)

there are at least two other circles on eyam moor, that i have found, they are both poorly preserved and a little difficult to locate because of the heather and tucked away on the northrn part of the moor as it slopes away down from the withens. And again, the moorland there is such that there are probably many many more secluded and hidden circles covered over by the heathers up there.

There is also the one up near to ladybower on the hordon edge that is a wonder to visit - altho it is on 'private land', but still it is a beautiful place and has such a powerful and serene energy - very much a reflection of the earth goddess as it now overlooks the resevoir and much of the surrounding countryside - and from here the horizon is full of mountains :-)

The Derbyshire paek is home to so many beutiful circles, when we consider the nine ladies and arbor low, which are perhaps the best known, it is surprising when we come to see how many others there are.

I think that the Summer Solstice sunset, although i am not 100% sure which one it is - either the winter solstice sun or summer solstice sun, sets directly into Arbour low when viewed from the frogatt edge circle :-)

[jojo]

yes, i want to see the one up by ladybower and the ones on eyam moor! there are loads in derbyshire arnt there! do you have any photos of the ones you have visited?

[merlincove]

i have lots of photo's of derbyshire and cornish sites, as well as a few cumbrian circles, castle rig and long meg etc - altho it has been some time sinse i took them, many of them over ten years ago and well before i managed to land myself a digital camera. if i can get them scanned i may post - altho i'm unsure how to post photo's here - do you link in with sites like image shack?

you need to go to something like photobucket or image shack and download your pic on there.

you can then copy and paste the url into the new post box and when you post up the image shows on the threads.

The immigrant Britons gave this region in northern France its current name and contributed to the Breton language, Brezhoneg, a sister language to Welsh and Cornish. The French speaking peoples surrounding the region, gave the name 'Bretagne' to the area where Britons [Celtic] settled while fleeing the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britannia, hence they gave the name 'Grande Bretagne' [Great Britain] to the island of the Britons. ‘Grand Brit’ in Hebrew means ‘grand covenant’.

Brittany is also famous for its megalithic monuments, which are scattered over the peninsula; the largest alignments are near Carnac. The purpose of these monuments is still unknown, and many local people are reluctant to entertain speculation on the subject, however, we know – don’t we? They are the ‘stone heaps’ that were set up by the Israelites. The Druids once knew their importance, but of course Christian destroyers made sure the Druids were exterminated and forgotten. The words dolmen - from the words 'daol', meaning table, and 'maen' meaning stone = stone table; and 'menhir' means high stone. These words come from the Breton language, even though they are hardly ever used in Breton. The Bible records instruction to the Israelites to lay up stones along the way to be used as waymarks.;)

We do??

According to this the stones were set up c. 4500 BC and added to/modified c.3300 BC.

and according to this, the birth of Abraham was c.2050 BC.

I have no doubt that there is a long established connection between Brittany and the Holy Land, but I think that it both predates and postdates Judaism.

Mainly from radio cabon dating primary deposition material (eg from beneath in situ stones).
I know radio carbon dating is a bit dodgy but when you have more than a dozen or so independent results that correspond, it's pretty reliable.

There's no such thing as "proof" in science, - only a preponderance of evidence.
"Proof" is something one gets only in math.

i'll throw this in the mix from comyns beaumont,when the romans invaded britain they found[not that you can trust too much they said]that hermes or mercury was the cheif deity and that next and only next came apollo.Hermes depicted as the swift messanger of the gods,his right hand always grasps the caduceus ''The potent wand'' it's power signified by entwined serpents[The michael and mary lines].Images of him adorned the hill-tops of greece and britain.He was the god of traffic and merchants,of roads,Ermine street is named after him.The cheif honours and highest station went to him because he stood for the druids sacred mysteries,their learning ,and their doctrine of immortality of the soul.

OK so now Nefertiti was Irish. :rolleyes:

Fits in with Tsarion's `How the Irish Originated Civilization'. It all goes back to the Druids who supposedly invented Christianity.

Easy mistake to make -
since they had a proto-Christianity.

[sophia_h]

`

christianity was the latter off shoot of
Ancient Erien historical fact made into theology
by those who needed theology as a control tool

The proto type for Mithra, Zoroaster, Jesus,
and all current religious icons was ISSA
who was HERMES the THRICE BORN/THOTH the Atlantean
non gendered androgenous parthenogenic

all created after the banishment of the FEMININE side
of HERMES the ANDROGYNE so the NEW GODS
of superiority ALL MALE, could rule

the Hebrew bible tells of LILITH who was also banished
by the NEW GOD to the OUTER REACHES of the UNIVERSE
where she plays with HER demons and abominable friends
( so do I and they are sooo fun! )

read Enuma Elish again
cant go get it as gotta run now.

It tells concisely how the GODS OF WAR
took over from the peaceful inhabitants
of EARTH and all those who came from
many planets to trade and tourist here.

Externsteine

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn166/bluegoddess777/rocks-cc-fanthomas.jpg

Externsteine, a site consisting of five enormous rock pillars in northern Germany, has probably been regarded as sacred since prehistoric times.

An undeniably mysterious and magical place, Externsteine is thought to have been a pagan cultic center until Charlemagne abolished Saxon paganism in 782 AD. It was then used by Christian hermits throughout the Middle Ages.

Externsteine contains a number of astronomical alighnments and other fascinating features, and attracts many devotees of Neopaganism and New Age religion.

HistoryLittle is known about the early history of Externsteine, and its precise origin and significance has baffled generations of scholars. It is relatively clear, at least, that it was an important shrine for Germanic paganism. One large room is believed to have been used to initiate priests in the cult. Some maintain, however, that the site was used for sacred purposes beginning in the 12th century, and was intended as a re-creation fo the Holy Land inspired by Crusader's tales.

In 782 AD, Emperor Charlemagne prohibited the practice of paganism in his lands. Shortly thereafter, hermit monks settled into caves in the base of the rocks at Externsteine, probably to Christianize the site and drive out its evil powers. The monks carved staircases and beautiful reliefs in the walls, and used a spectacular roofless chapel atop a high pillar for prayer.

After the Middle Ages, Externsteine passed to the local counts and served successively as a fortress, a pleasure palace and a prison, undergoing many alterations in the process. It was restored to its original form early in the 19th century.

In recent history, Externsteine has received the attention of German nationalists, including Heinrich Himmler, who in 1933 presided over the "Externsteine Foundation." Some visitors to Externsteine today are still motivated by extreme nationalism, even neo-Nazism. Just a few miles from Externsteine is Hermanns Denkmal, a monument to German nationalism.

Today, Externsteine is a popular tourist attraction but it also draws many spiritual devotees. Most modern pilgrims to Externsteine are New Age followers, who are attracted to the site by its astrological aspects and perceived cosmic energy. Neopagans, who identify with the beliefs and rituals of Germanic paganism, are also drawn to Externsteine. Both groups celebrate winter and summer solstices at the site.

What to SeeExternsteine is a natural outcropping of five limestone pillars, the tallest of which is 37.5m high. The pillars have been modified and decorated by humans over the centuries in a variety of fascinating and mysterious ways: holes were drilled for no apparent reason; stairs lead to dead ends; platforms serve no clear purpose; and a large space faces the midsummer sunrise. The holes may have symbolized entry-points into the earth to release its energies, as at other rock sanctuaries.

Atop one of the pillars, accessible by a sturdy metal footbridge, is a roofless chapel with a tiny pillar altar carved out of the rock. A 20-inch round window provides a view of the midsummer sunrise and the most northerly rising of the moon.

The first rays of the summer solstice cut an arc of light in the center of the wall behind the altar; the beam of light may have originally rested on a sacred object that was placed on the altar. Christian monks prayed in this chapel in the Middle Ages, and it was likely used as a pagan observatory—perhaps for tracking the sun's path through the zodiac—before that.

A number of beautifully carved reliefs were left by the medieval hermits at Externsteine, the most notable of which is a spectacular 12th-century wall relief of the Descent from the Cross (also called the Tree of Life). The sculpture is Romanesque in style, but heavily influenced by Byzantine art—it is the only known example of Byzantine sculpture art in Germany.

The relief depicts the Irminsul, a pagan tree or pillar representing earth power, bowing down in adoration as the body of Jesus is taken from the cross. As Nicodemus lowers Jesus from the cross (John 19:39-40), he steps on the Irminsul, which curves under his weight.

The sun and moon—important pagan fertility images—are weeping. A snake, the symbol of earth energies in paganism and of evil power in Christianity, is pushed down into the earth beneath the disciples' feet.

To the side of the relief is a series of caves inhabited by the monks, which are no closed off. One of them bears an incription saying it was consecrated as a chapel in 1115.

It's not.
It's a very sacred place.
Somewhere to be alone and get in touch with the genius loci.

They've turned the local church into a social club
please don't do the same with these ancient sacred places.

Try the pub!

Hi phildee3,

I'm quite aware it's a very sacred place, I wasn't suggesting that we meet-up to socialise at the sacred site, I and the other people who go to the meet-ups always appreciate and show great respect for the sacred sites that we visit......

Right.
A social event.
That's what I said.

You can't share your experience of the divine.
That's totally personal.

And when you go alone, or with your soul-mate, you'll meet other "like minded people" that the genius loci wants you to meet.

It's much more sacred that way.

Try it.

[mcmenek1]

That’s your opinion I disagree we can share anything if we want to it's a matter of personal preference there is always more than one way to view something or experience something we are all different after all and view reality from a different stand point.......what's right for you is not necessarily right for someone else........

I did not.
I politely said please don't turn it into one.

at least in this country.

Thnak god there are places that you'll never find out about.

"At the top of the tallest stone is a now-open chamber. Formerly used for sacrifices, little decoration remains apart from one wall with a circular hole shaped into it. Studies have shown that this is some form of calendar. On the exact day each year where Summer turns to Winter, the sun fits perfectly into this hole."

Phil, at meet ups we usually go to sacred sites and perform healing and connection with each other. we dont socialise at these places in the same way that we would in a pub.
we go on a journey, together and experience the place and leave.

I know why you might say this about this place, but i know mcmenek would be respectful, as we all would in our meet up group.

however, i personally feel like i would want to pilgramege there alone on this one K.

[phildee3]

"At the top of the tallest stone is a now-open chamber. Formerly used for sacrifices...



Pure speculation.



...little decoration remains apart from one wall with a circular hole shaped into it. Studies have shown that this is some form of calendar.



Rubbish.



On the exact day each year where Summer turns to Winter, the sun fits perfectly into this hole."



That depends on how far back you stand!
And it's at midsummer!

This is what you get for not communing with the genius loci in silence.

[phildee3]

however, i personally feel like i would want to pilgramege there alone on this one K.



Thanks, jojo.

This place is so powerful, I don't think anyone gets there otherwise!

Rainbow Bridge is often described as the world's largest natural bridge. The span of Rainbow Bridge is 275 feet (84 m), and at the top it is 42 feet (13 m) thick and 33 feet (10 m) wide.

http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4723/1800pxrainbowbridge231m.jpg (http://img21.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1800pxrainbowbridge231m.jpg)

Located in the rugged, isolated canyons at the foot of Navajo Mountain, Rainbow Bridge was known for centuries by the Native Americans who have long held the bridge sacred. Ancient Pueblo Peoples were followed much later by Paiute and Navajo groups who named the bridge Nonnezoshe or "rainbow turned to stone." Several Native American families still reside nearby.

The next year, on May 30, 1910, President William Howard Taft proclaimed Rainbow Bridge National Monument. Teddy Roosevelt and Zane Grey were among the first visitors to make the trek by foot and horseback from Oljeto or Navajo Mountain. Rainbow Bridge became more accessible with the popularity of river running in Glen Canyon after World War II, although the trip still required several days floating the Colorado River plus a seven-mile hike up-canyon. By the early 1950s, people could travel upstream by jet boat from Lee's Ferry. Glen Canyon Dam was authorized in 1956. By 1963, the gates on the dam closed and rising Lake Powell began to engulf the river and its side canyons. Higher water made motorboat access to Rainbow Bridge much easier, bringing thousands of visitors each year.
In 1974, Navajo tribal members who lived in the vicinity of Rainbow Bridge filed suit in U.S. District Court against the Secretary of the Interior, the Commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation, and the Director of the National Park Service. The suit was an attempt to preserve important Navajo religious sites that were being inundated by the rising waters of Lake Powell. The court ruled against the Navajo:mad:, saying that the need for water storage outweighed their concerns. In 1980, the Tenth District Court of Appeals ruled that to close Rainbow Bridge, a public site, for Navajo religious ceremonies would violate the U.S. Constitution which protects the religious freedom of all citizens :).
By 1993, a National Park Service General Management Plan, involving much public input, was adopted. As part of the planning process, the National Park Service consulted with the five Native American nations affiliated with Rainbow Bridge: the Navajo, Hopi, San Juan Southern Paiute, Kaibab Paiute, and White Mesa Ute. Chief among their concerns was that Rainbow Bridge - a religious and sacred place - be protected and visited in a respectful manner. Additionally, [B]the tribes expressed concerns about visitors approaching or walking under the bridge. Today, the National Park Service informs visitors to be respectful of its significance to the people who have long held Rainbow Bridge sacred.

Nice pic.

I found the British coasts to be very mystical, can't really put my finger on it how..maybe it's the rocky aspect.

It's the coasts where you'd think mermaids and other stuff are real..

You people live in a beautiful country.

They are!

You ought to know about gnomes, undines, sylphs and salamanders!
They reside in the elements of earth, water, air and fire.

Yes the geology has alot to do with it, but not just on the coast.
The elementals manifest particularly at geologic interfaces.

At the coast you have the very ancient geologic formations being newly exposed,
and an interface between earth and water
(Rainbow Bridge, et al, being an interface between earth and air.)

There's only one megalith near me and that's Rudston monolith.
It's the tallest in Britain I think. It sits in the middle of a sacred landscape filled with large mounds and disappeared cursuses and a henge.
It's actually inside a graveyard with a Norman church built right beside it. The cheeky christians say the devil threw the monolith at the church but missed!
Still, it's good that they respected this amazing thing. And it actually seems to work quite well with the church. They seem like old friends.

A little further north are the Devil's Arrows. And guess what? Apparently the devil threw them at the village.. but missed! There are three "arrows" left. Originally there was 5 I think.
Both these places have an amazing atmosphere. Really bizarre. I visit a few times a year.

I'm a big fan of Julian Cope... his books and his music. As you can maybe tell from my nick.
Also, I bought this DVD recently:
http://www.standingwithstones.com/
Well worth getting if you're into these places. It was a private work of passion by two guys who just travelled around these places in a van and recorded their thoughts.

We've just had a few days down in Wiltshire, crystaljunkie and i, visiting Stonhenge and Avebury before moving over to Glastonbury: here are some of the pic's we took.

We sat in amongst the cirlcle stones at stonhenge, watched the sun go down, meditated a little, the place is truly beautiful, the energy in the circle was sp powerful, so emotive, so breathtaking.

Thanks qpid :D, yes they are amazing, and a lot bigger than i thought, being close to makes all the differance. It is strange, how we percieve the stones, as i've only ever been to the Henge a few times: and you realy don't get the chance to fully appreciate the size or the energy of the place until you get in close, the internal trilathon horseshoe stones are huge. :D

cheers nhil :D

Truly amazing energies mate, absolutely.....

i've never felt anything comparable.

And, like i say above, it is difficult to get perspective from the roadside of how huge the stones are, but as we drove along the road toward the stones, and as they came into view, they kinda looked bigger, more impresive, somehow.

i wanted to cry, as we stepped into the ring, just moving in close to the stones just bought such a strong feeling of beauty that i felt i could drop toi my knees and sob, the power of the place was that overwhelming. And all i could do was just to hug the first stone i came to and say thank you.

i have heard people say that stonhenge is shut down, i knew from the moment i stepped through the fense that this place is far from shut down. In its day it must have been truly awesome.

The energies there are more than alive. I gave karen some healing and i was aware of a huge fountain of energy flooding into the central circle.

i'd recomend for anyone to go there and feel it for themseves, ring up English heritage and book a place, i think they max out at 29 people at any one visit, and the visits are for before or after 'opening' times.

They are your contribution to the thread and your resposnsibility to present them tastefully (or not). Why don't you put them on your HD and resize them?

Great Henge pics there merlincove!:D I'm glad you both had a great time there, the energy inside the stones is outstanding isn't it!

lol and :D are friendly terms. They imply a pinch of salt.

i don't need to resize them, if you want to experience the images then by all means save them, if not then by all means skip by them and move on to the next post.

My system displays them 'tastefully,' after a second or so of loading i can view the 30 or so pics perfectly within the visable screen.

Your issue is that you can not see them or that they partially load.

No, i'm wasn't kidding, look here's another friendly smiley face to prove it :D

You can save them to your hard drive - it only takes a right click and a save, and imo they are worth it :D

i have no issue with the pics, your system does, it is then up to you how you choose to view them or not.

My system is old, it is slow and it manages ok.

You obviosly have issue with the images. I have supplied them as best as i can and i'm sorry you are having trouble appreciating them.

i will post them into a new thread if you really want me to, resized and everything?

Yes, it is me biblegirl :eek:

i don't usualy like my photo being taken, i don't like looking into cameras because i always smile at the wrong time :confused:

when i met lee he was so familiar to me, and he always said that he knew me too even thoow we had never 'met'. It is funny how we recognise some people and some places even.

For Lookfar, as promised this is my local site, a magestic hole stone and upright. much bigger than men a tol but hardly known about.
This used to be a part of an entrance to a long barrow, now long forgotten. Its not well known and you need to dodge some electric fencing to get to it but its an absolute gem!

Thanks biblegirl :) its from the national geographic.

And thanks for the Avebury pictures - I´ve heard the spiritual energy there is clearer than at Stonehenge cause it is less touristic :)

Don't believe everything you hear.
It's different in many ways.
It's not surrounded by a security fence that you have pay to get into
but theres a busy pub in he centre of the circle which is hardly conducive to "clear spiritual energy."

[merlincove]

Thanks biblegirl :) its from the national geographic.

Glad you like the qpid ;)

Having experienced Stonehenge's energy, within the circle stones, i'd say that they are very different places - the same voice singing different songs.

Or maybe Stonhenge has better accoustics. For want of a metaphor.

And remember that Avebury was Destroyed in the 1700's and it wasn't until later that the stones were uncovered and heaved back into place. Stuckley recorded the Avebury circle in great depth prior to the locals pulling the stones down and burying them, and it was his drawings that aided in its reconstruction.

Avebury had two avenues, one south and one west, a few stones remain in the west while the south avenue is half of what it once was.

Many features of Avebury have been destroyed, some of the stones were broken up and used to build walls and houses - and their remnants can still be seen today in some of the buildings.

The north circle at Avebury is hardly visable. the north east and south east arcs have only a few stones left standing, others still lie buried.

But none of this detracts from Avebury's magic. It's a wondeful place and you can only imagine what it was once like.

I love Avebury, if i could afford to i'd live there, i adore the place.

IMO, Stonehenge is just as awe inspiring as Avebury, it is very powerful, very energetic, it vibrates with a majestic rhythm, it is highly emotive and no other circle site i've been to compares to the song Stonehenge sings.

Avebury is beautifull, powerful, majestic, awe inspiring. Her song is just as beautiful, though it is a different song.

They are both supremely magical places. Very different and very same.

But if you were to walk around the edge of avebury, at some distance, my guess is that you would not be able to feel its vibe, sense its power. It is only when you step into the circle stones and meet with its energy that you get a feel for it, come to resonate with it.

And so it is with Stonehenge. Stepping into is circle and walking amongst the stones allows for the exchange, allows the resonance to happen - book a visit and feel it for yourself, because in walking around that perimiter you can't really touch it properly if at all.

:D

[marpat]

And thanks for the Avebury pictures - I´ve heard the spiritual energy there is clearer than at Stonehenge cause it is less touristic :)

In one of Dion Fortunes books she recounts how the energy at Stonehenge weakens when lots of people constantly visit the site but that after the winter break the site becomes quite potent again.

It seems that leys and sites are considered constant as sources of energy but what if sites like Stonehenge act more like a capacitor or battery, charging up constantly but being drained when there are lots of people around absorbing the chare or grounding it. If the discharge rate is higher than the charging rate then it will seem flat until people take a break from the place. Perhaps the leys they are on are constant but the sites themselves charge and discharge.

Hey :D

The circle is called Seven Stones of Hordon, or Hordon Edge, both names seem to be popular.

And that climb was invigourating wasn't it :eek:

But the climb is more than worth it just to spend an hour sitting in that ring of circle stones, she is a beautiful site.

When we reached the plateau there were sheep huddled in the long grasses near the circle, and we could hardly see the stones because of the sheep :D

The circle appearing from the mist and bracken made it for me, that was the magic. The energy was powerful and strong, but at the same time so peaceful and gentile, very hard for me to describe but something that I would recommend for everyone to experience once :)

you really need an OS map to find the hordon edge stone circle. its off road and a very sharp scramble up an very very steep edge. but well WELL worth visiting... because it is so secluded. the energy is very similar to castle rig.

There was a cove at the centre which faced the summer solstice sunrise (according to Burl) - same as the one at Avebury.

All stones were standing at one time.

Cove was built first, then the henge, then the stone circle.

i would have loved to have seen the stones all erect. they have been recumbent for eons though, as the water damage is so apparent and the stones have worn through down the the ground in many places.

do you have any theories why the stones were layed flat phil? and why they are layed out in a kind of clock face formation, all splaying out from the middle.

its such a energetic place though, complete with its own mini sibury hill (gib hill) i love going there.

They're not. They only look that way.
They blew over towards the south (not my theory but the archaeological interpretation).

Gib Hill is a bronze age round barrow plonked on top of a neolithic long barrow.

No comparison with Silbury,

oh ffs man ... follow the ebb and flow of the land and upgrade from the vision of the nineteen twenties ... alots evolved since watkins!!!
The old straight path ... lol ... you get out there and try that :P



I have.
I do.
I'm an old ley hunter - been at it for years.

Alot may have "evolved" since Watkins, but a straight line is still a straight line!!

"Ebb and flow" my ass!
Might as well say that London, Paris and Moscow form a ley line then!!

Have you ever tried to find Bamford Circle, that is a bitch to find, low stones, high bracken, it is there, though it is difficult to locate.

if it helps ya find it, go for it man, it would be a shame to get to the moor and leave without finding it, it really is difficult to locate.

the last time i went there i took some photo's that i'd taken years before from the first time i'd found the circle. It was those photo's that helped me find it that second time, having been the week earlier and niot been able to loocate it :confused:

There are some trees on the hill side / edge over on the west side of the moor and i used their possitions to triangulate the circle, using the photo's as a guide. and still i spent a good half hour trying to find those stones.

there are a lot of outliers to the circle too, aligning with ither sites and direction lines to certain solar events, midwinter rises etc.

It is a nice circle tho, and one you'll be happy you've found. It can take some time tho so give yourself a good hour extra time and you'll be able to enjoy it.

There is a space to park the car where the road bends too :D

I saw faeries the last time i was there. i was lying down in the heather, it was a beautiful summer's day and i was just chilling out in the vibe. i kinda dozed off a little and then i heard a slight whispering and thought someone else had come along and were hesitant to disturb me. When i opened my eyes to see who was there there were faerie folk hovering just above the heather and bracken, dancing around each other. That was the only time i've ever seen them, and they didn't seem to mind me being there, and they seemed quite happy to show themselves.

A magical little site :D

I'm def going to plan a trip out there in november sometime, hopefully on a misty day ... A. for the challenge (yup im a glutton for punishment lol) but mainly for the atmosphere that sends your senses into overload on such days.

I heard a story from a local about the lil' folk shape shifting into sheep, shadows and such, to keep an eye on those that pilgrimage to such sacred areas. Im envious of that experience. :)

[phildee3]

New ideas like "going with the flow"? :rolleyes:

You've not offered any new ideas!

...and throwing out the work of our predecessors is not progressive.
We have to have some kind of language to enable us to move forward - and from which meaning can emerge,


...otherwise you're just wandering around, tripping on sites without putting them into any context.

That sounds more like stasis to me.

Haven't been to a megalithic site yet, but will rep Sweden a little:

Ales stenar/Ales's stones in the county of Skåne, forming a (viking?)ship where Heaven, Earth and Sea meet.

An "area" cannot be on a ley line, only a point.

All the refs you gave are points.

I have yet to see the Mordron circle having any of it's stones being situated on a ley line - unlike Arbor Low.

This is significant.

It shows that Arbor Low is to a cathedral what Mordron, et al, are to parish churches.

tell me jojo have you ever found the stone cricle at eyam moor and there 1 up near upper padley in the heathersage area of the peaks i have been twice and never could find them

[merlincove]

tell me jojo have you ever found the stone cricle at eyam moor and there 1 up near upper padley in the heathersage area of the peaks i have been twice and never could find them

The Eyam moor one (Wet Withens) is easy to find, but it is a big moor and you have to be in the right place :p

If you drive out of Eyam and up the hill, as you meet the moor the road bends to the right, park here and climb the stile in the wall. With your back against the wall you will be able to see a hidden pathway through the heather / bracken straight in front of you, follow that path and as you emerge out on the head of the moor you'll be able to see a large cairn ahead, the circle is right next to that cairn. Well easy to find, it is on the OS map too, you just need to find the central pathway that is hidden by overgrowth :D

Back at the wall, if you follow the right hand pathway along and down onto the slopes, there are two more circles to be found too. One lies very close to the path on the right hand side, about 100 yards before you reach the gateway at the end of the path. The circle is almost ruined though and is difficult to locate. The second circle, and one of my fave circles isn't far away either. Where the gateway is at the end of the path, there is a wall that runs off to the right (of the path) if you follow this wall along back onto the moor, soi the path is off to your right, you will soon come to a point where the wall joins another wall, making a corner, the third Eyam Moor circle is very close to that corner.

http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv35/merlincove/Capture.jpg

:D

I've drawn in the footpath on the OS map to show where it is, and the dotted the circle that is kinda over to the right of the path as you near it. Also i've dotted the two circles on the lower slopes with blue markers to show roughly where nthey are.

The Wet Withens is well worth a visit, and is by far my favorite site in Derbyshire with the exception of Arbor Low, and the third circle again is one of my faves.

Hope that helps :D

[darkman]

yeah thanks for that info now i can pin point it, may go this weekend and never thought there was 2 near the wall so meny hidden secrets this place has

[merlincove]

There are others up there too, though i haven't found any others. I've heard rumours, but never managed to locate any other circle sites.

[phildee3]

There's a spirit up there guys,
that ain't gonna let ya find that really special one unless you're in the right disposition...

The Cerne Abbas Giant has only had a large Appendage since Edwardian times, Victorian postcards and also earlier drawings show him to be of 'normal' size. The top of his member is actually his navel! Theories about the giant - insult to Cromwell, fertility symbol, etc. only apply if he has a large member.
---This is looking like a 'Austin Powers' sketch ---
Otherwise he is no more obscene than Michaelangelo's David and our views about him are a reflection of our own hangups. The earthwork above the giant is where the may pole was erected (no pun intended) and where after a day of revelry, couples would disappear off to further the species.

Just out of interest, in Dorset, until mid-Victorian times, if a man married into a family which had a surplus of daughters, he would not only get the eldest but would also take on one of the younger daughters as well. Since the work was agricultural and was shared by both a husband and wife, being pregnant and having a baby, was a great drain on resources. By having a younger sister there, a wife could share the work, including marital duties, and all could prosper. A wife would be less jealous of her own family member, her husband would be less likely to stray and she could share nursing, etc.

[jojo]

interesting im not sure about the giant really> there are a few theories regarding its origin> ive only ever seen it from a distance as when im i dorset i prefer to visit the circles like the nine stones and kingston russel> also the hell stone dolmen is a favorite of mine

The pregnancy thing is a good example of 'transferrance'. The place where you are supposed to become more fertile is down the hill at the old abbey ruins where there is a sacred spring. This was obviously a pagan site which was consecrated and then attributed to a saint. When the giant was wrongly restored, this idea was blended with the maypole goings on and the idea was transferred to the giant.

A book i read convinced me of this in terms of rocks being living beings,and every living being has an energy field.The book was in search of the southern serpent by Hamish Miller and Barry Brailsford a journey into the power of place.Hamish is a dowser amongst other things and visited many sacred sites with his partner Ba in New Zealand whilst writing his third book about their journeys following earth energy.He became gravely ill on the way to New Zealand after an insect bite and spent a long time in hospital and during a very lucid moment saw two head shapes behind him and they appeared to be discussing him and he got the feeling they were thinking was it really worth it helping him look at the state of him[he is 85 now i think].He felt they were very beneficial and they made such an impression on him he drew a picture of them,theres a lot more to this experience in the book and i found it astonishingly interesting but i can't spoil it for anyone who wants to read it but it was an interesting insight into other realms shall we say.After recovering and continuing his journey he ended up at Castle Hill where there are massive rocks and he was sat in a stone circle enjoying the energy emanating from this very sacred maori place,he says he felt someone watching him whilst sitting there and turned round to see the very two figures he drew on paper in hospital.They were the massive sacred stonesat this site,more ayers rock than stonehenge,wish i could post you a picture of them and the picture he drew.Imagine how he felt eh!,a very humbling experience imo.

Yes lass, one of my favourite places in England - the panoramic view is breathtaking! next time you go.. try twirling/spinning around in the centre - oh lordy! :)

Yeah it was breathtaking & I was there on a sunny day too which made it even moreso:) Hehe, ok I'll definitely do the spin when I get there next:D

[curly]

That sounds amazing curly. I'm gonna have to head over to Portland soon & investigate:)

I've just ordered those two books you mentioned. I already have one of Hamish Miller's books (The Sun & The Serpent) which is very good & look forward to reading them.

Thanks for sharing:)

Great stuff,i'll have to race you with the book on portland i don't want to go before i read it all.Hamish made sense of quite a lot of things for me;)

[biblegirl]

you mean there are TWO books that i can't live without now? hmm....*checking ebay* :D

The St. Michael Ley-line (August 3, 2007)

In this article I will show the St. Michael and the parallel St Mary Ley-lines as parasitic. Similarly the Belinus Line crossing both, is drawing the life energies from Britain. In order to understand how I come to these conclusions it is necessary to read my articles on Hot Spots.

Basic to this understanding is the recognition of the Fourth Dimension as a "fully clothed realm" not the incomprehensible Einsteinian definition of "time". The aetheric realm or density is composed of atoms similar to the atoms of physical plane except they are a thousand times the volume and the attraction between the electron and proton is magnetic. The intermeshing of electrical and magnetic energies shows how the fourth density is always around us and moving through the physical. The mass relationship between the physical electron and proton is caused by higher dimensional energies holding the balance.

The first four astral realms are 120 miles, 400 miles, 1200 miles and 3400 miles above the surface of the Earth and mainly composed of Aetheric Ice. They are spiritually regressed. Cut off from source in the higher dimensions, save the merest trickle of energy through the life current to sustain the shadow of life, the entities dwelling in these realms steal energy from the Earth and the natural kingdoms on Earth. This has been an on-going problem for millennia.

The plans of the Illuminati are channelled from regressed beings on the fourth step of the fourth density. The plans for feudal control of life on Earth were created by cunning entities who profit from fear and blood. Fear-released externalized energies are pulled from people horizontally and this creates many of the ley-lines that can be felt by sensitives.

The St. Michael and St. Mary lines are on a line from Norfolk to Cornwall. Following this line as a tangent from Wiltshire the line intersects a point in second step of the astral about 400 miles above the Azores Hot Spot.

The Belinus line from the Isle of Wight to Inverhope Scotland, tangent from Wiltshire intersects a point in space above the Iceland Hot Spot.

These leys are energy rivers feeding the souls that populate the self created hells above the sky. The energies of 70 million perpetuate the lower astral's hold on England and many other countries. This mind control is age old and it manipulates people like marionettes. The chakras are milked the way dairy cows are milked. People like cows complain loudly when they are not milked. It is a love-hate relationship of psychopaths with their victims and the manipulated ever returning to the grasp of their tormentors. It is a shallow pointless existence. Most people never hold enough energy in their chakras to awaken to the spiritual, their birthright. They have given their energy to the parasites and do not know the life they are missing. No one tells them their true potential.

A Vancouver martial artist demonstrated to a group of us how he could weaken another without touching him. He could defeat a combatant before the first blow. Energy can be turned off or drawn away with finger movements horizontal to the chakras. The black belt had studied for decades and he wanted to train us how to strengthen ourselves by activating the layers of light around the body starting with the chakras and then the DNA. The system he used is growing in popularity and has helped many regain strength and health.

Lilly Ochescu and Fred Gunn have used similar techniques. See the article: Seven Layer Shielding.

Scaling up the shielding for England itself has been happening in Wiltshire for many years. Crop Circles are energy mandalas breaking the age old hex on the land. At this time wherever a Crop Circle appears look at the ley-lines and determine what Hot Spots are involved. A Crop Circle is an intervention of the spiritually evolved towards cutting off the flow of life energies from the physical to the lower astral. A Crop Circle is a message of love blocking fear and hate by changing the energy patterns in the soil, crops and people.

The energy stolen by the parasites is dwindling. The astral realms cannot get enough from the physical to meet their nefarious plans. They are desperate. They cannot maintain their old practises. Their days are numbered.

Would it not be simpler to reclaim one's own energies and awaken to the potential each carries?

Anyone ever had a nosey around portland in dorset,I just started reading a book about it called Spirit Of Portland secrets of a sacred isle and this place looks like it has everything,the remains of faces of idols carved into the cliffs,sacred geology and geometry,ley lines,holy wells and a giant figure formed from roads and footpaths within the landscape,apparantly a staggering number of stone circles and standing stones were built there.Can't wait to get myself down there in a couple of weeks,sounds like my kind of disneyland and it's only 4.5 miles square.Theres a couple of nice hotels on it and you should be able to walk everywhere in a place that small,can't wait:D.



Thanks for this curley.
I got a hunch from reading this post that I should read this book, so I ordered it and have now read most of it.
What I find most impressive is the vesica formation. Three churches on each of the two circles, one of which is at the centre of the other circle in both cases!

The other things are a bit more iffy, imo.

"Interesting"??
The guy is paranoid and psychotic!!

And this is just nonsense:

"The first four astral realms are 120 miles, 400 miles, 1200 miles and 3400 miles above the surface of the Earth and mainly composed of Aetheric Ice. They are spiritually regressed. Cut off from source in the higher dimensions, save the merest trickle of energy through the life current to sustain the shadow of life, the entities dwelling in these realms steal energy from the Earth and the natural kingdoms on Earth. This has been an on-going problem for millennia."

The mile is a measurement of distance which only applies to the physical realm!

But at least the guy has a positive streak in his veins:

"A Crop Circle is a message of love blocking fear and hate by changing the energy patterns in the soil, crops and people."

Unfortunately, not all of the alien circlemakers are so loving.

Neither are the leylines all so evil!

Well I personally find it interesting to read other interpretations on all this (whether true or not, I take what resonates & leave the rest) & am looking forward to reading the book about Portland.

It is a nice place, only 40 miles away too.

If you ever get around Cumbria try looking for the Long Meg group. The circle is huge and the main stone has spiral carvings still visible. A few times I have been there I noticed people had left offerings of various things in a gap under the main stone.

this is a map of all the known mega lithic sites in britain and ireland from a good web site www.megalith.ukf.net

[phildee3]

this is a map of all the known mega lithic sites in britain and ireland



Hardly!

It is supposedly all the known stone circles and stone rows.
No dolmens, quoits, cairns, round barrows, long barrows, passage tombs, wedge tombs, court cairns, fogus,

and where are all the dozens of stone circles in Co Sligo??

Zoom in on Carrowmore - nothing!!

[marpat]

I think the map is more to do with circles and stone rather than barrows and the like. When I was in Lincolnshire there were no circles or anything there but quite a few tumuli and barrows and I dont think they are on that map either

I don't think, I know.
That's what it claims to be - not megaliths, but megalithic circles and rows only,

(and, like I said, many of those are missing)

Are you guys ready for a discussion yet?

Yes i'm up for that,finished the book yesterday.catch u later

I'm nowhere near ready for discussion, sorry, my books still haven't turned up:( I ordered them from Amazon along with a few other bits so they're grouping it all together, expected delivery estimate is 23 Nov - 4 Dec!:eek:

[lupa]

I found this which is called the Anstey leys standing stone, not very impressive i know but It's just over the prehistoric mound from where i live so I shall go and have a look. Its on a leyline which runs from bradgate county Park to oadby which must almost run through my house, almost. which probably explains why there is a prehistoric mound at the end of my road with old templar ruins. The line runs through the clock tower in leicester I'm assuming which looks like an obelisk of sorts too. Bradgate park is one of my fave places as you always get a good feeling when there especially up at old john which is an old folly and where the leyline starts from according to wapedia. really good feelings when you go there. I shall check it out and give it a big hug;)

Yes, would love to visit Long Meg & her Daughters, looks an awesome place; just ran out of time last time we were up there. We did manage to take in Mayburgh Henge, I felt strange vibes there though, really unsettling and hard to explain, will have to try a second visit.

Been there as well. Couldnt hang around long as the local cows started getting curious. I think it is amazing that the site is built from pebbles from local rivers.

Another good site in Cumbria is Swinside, which I visited nearly 20 years ago.

You're right it's amazing. I found the following article quite interesting - especially this bit at the end:

"But those who interfere with Mayburgh do so at their own peril. The 18th-century antiquarian William Stukely, who witnessed the destruction of stones at Mayburgh, tells of the fate of two of the workmen who blasted them into fragments with gunpowder: one hanged himself and the other went mad." :eek:

We justed walked up to the circle at Swinside but I am sure that the local farmer/ landowner would not have a problem with people looking around.

The whole area is covered with circle. There are many that are destroyed. I found some in woodlands and there was a group of people looking for them to do some dowsing.

Have you ever been to the devilds arrows? might be about 50 miles north of you. I think they are at Knaresborough. I tried to find them once but couldnt locate them.

I don't know what you mean by that? Couldn't astral realms be certain varying measurements from earth? In the spiritual realm, there are areas specific to different earth locations. If we can measure the area above earth (and we do) why couldn't specific spiritual realms be in different locations - as they are here on earth?


Wonderful info, pictures - thread:)

Jo your pictues of Callanish are amazing. You can feel the vibe just from looking at them, i've got to go!

Me and Phildee can talk about Z.S Livingstone,he sounded quite positive about him don't you think.



That's "phildee and I." :rolleyes: ;)

Where does Livingstone fit in?
Who is "he" and who is "him"?

I read the whole book when I first got it, skipping through fairly quickly.
I'm now reading it thoroughly, from cover to cover, and have got to chap.5.

There are?? :confused:

Not to my understanding!

The spirit realm exists as a "parallel reality" which has no bearing on physical space.

The only correlation is that in physical space there are certain portals through which we may gain access, but access to a realm which is in everything, around everything and is everywhere!

No it's definitely Me and Phildee:D The other way sounds stupid
Livingstone doesn't fit in anywhere,he is you and him is livingstone,i was referring to your reply to lookfar when you dismissed him [livingstone] as paranoid and something else i can't remember.Just an obviously piss poor attempt at humour on my part.What the various churchbuilders and victorians did on the island seems just as relevant to guessing what went on there as the much earlier stuff imo.Let me know when you finish the book,i'm definately going down there for a couple of days before christmas,it interested me that much.
