Stone Circles and Their Manifestation Stone Circles and their Manifestation A presentation to the Trencrom, Devon, Tamar, Somerset and Thames Valley Dowsing Groups ‘There’s a lot going on at a stone circle’. That was the core message of this talk by Maria Wheatley - daughter of the late author Denis Wheatley, and inheritor of the chain of information that has flowed from the seminal earth energy dowser, Guy Underwood. Although Maria’s examples were mainly drawn from her home site - the Rollright Stones in Oxfordshire - in essence, the power of the energy patterns she was describing should apply to any of the stone circles in the UK. The most ancient megaliths in Cumbria and Scotland seem to be particularly energetic, and the more complete circles, such as the largely intact Swinside ring in Cumbria, retain their original function to a greater extent. However, even largely ruinous former circles retain at least some of their former potential prowess. Concentric rings of anything - particularly circles of standing stones, but also of salt (as used in occult practices) and even a circle drawn on paper with a compass - can propagate subtle energy, the energy of shape, which is so crucial to reiki and similarly visualised activities. We can all sense this type of energy by walking into a stone (or other) circle and crossing the concentric hoops one by one - female/male, negative/positive lunar/solar, alternating from band to band however you prefer to sense or to work with them. To maximise this impact, it is always wise to enter the circle by the original entrance and to leave by the designed exit. Otherwise you will be walking against the intended flow (which is usually the case at the Rollrights, where the exit portal of the circle is the one nearest to the ticket office!) and much of the potential benefit can be lost. Maria described how adding the ‘form energy’ of straighter tangential currents to this circular momentum produces ‘spin energy’, which is the more powerful manifestation of geomantic currents at such sites. This spin energy is, in turn, also focussed on and collected by outlier stones, from whence it can be ‘downloaded’. At the exit point of a circle, you will often find that one upright is slightly offset, sometimes referred to as a Power Stone, which may indicate its purpose in this context. She feels that the crystalline structure of outliers, also called beacon stones, facilitates the transfer of the energy to the human body. Apparently, this transfer is best achieved at a temperature of 21°C (i.e. in the summer!), but will still take place at lower temperatures, albeit rather more slowly. Maria not only encourages dowsers to use the usual protocols of permission, and to make contact with site guardians and the energy of place, but also to inform the on-site spirituality what you are intending to do. It seems they don’t like unpleasant surprises any more than we do! When we state our intention to manifest energy at a site, we should start slowly and steadily crank up the rhythm until we reach a point of climax, before letting go. As with all dowsing, it’s best always to be clear and straightforward about what you are trying to manifest. Maria finds that each stone has a horizontal energy banding structure - similar to human chakras – with two bands under the ground. The ‘forehead’ (indigo chakra) of the upright is used for long-distance information transmission, sending the energy to other sites at some distance. Stone circles and other megalithic structures were never built in isolation and the comparatively solitary nature of them is a result of quite recent human history. From Orkney to Wiltshire to Dartmoor, stone structures used to form an integrated network - and it seems quite possible that this matrix was part of a prehistoric subtle energy transfer system. In addition to the energy of the concentric, there is also the interwoven earth energy of the geospiral found (often in intertwined pairs - NT) at all stone circles. Circular sacred sites are busy and buzzy places - and that’s without water, ley and earth grid currents added to the mix. People have come to the opinion that these geospirals are responsive to astronomical cycles and that they are at their stongest energetically six days after the new moon. Maria introduced the work of the renowned earth energy dowser, Tom Graves, including his finding that certain stones at the Rollrights have either a rightward or a leftward spin when dowsed with a pendulum. These, she and her collaborators have termed earth voltage points, which manifest either ‘male’ or ‘female’ energy on the earth’s surface. She has taken this work further and, during a visit to Egypt, found that many of the statues and obelisks remaining in situ from the Pharoic period are underpinned by this type of energy. In one sense, it could be said that these statues and representations of ancient dignitaries and demigods are, to some extent, ‘brought to life’ by this energy. Her presentation went on to note that the long-distance Elen and Bellinus lines, which pass close to the Rollrights, actually pass wide of the circle itself, but connect with other archaeological features in the immediate area. A final image showed the work of Guy Ragland Phillips, who has discovered an earth grid, which is interestingly composed of parallelograms (as opposed to the squares and rectangles of Hartmann, Curry and Benker). This grid forms part of his work on the pre- Saxon kingdom of Brigantia, which covers the far north of what is now England. (See Guy Ragland Phillips - Brigantia: A Mysteriography). Maria managed to pack more information about earth energy features and phenomena into an hour than most of us could probably manage in a year. Her father’s heritage, and the link to Guy Underwood, make her a fascinating speaker, with a huge amount of experience to inspire the forthcoming generation of geomancers. Many thanks to Maria Wheatley for this presentation. I’m off to find power stones and earth voltages at my local sites! Nigel Twinn Tamar Dowsers May 2021 Maria Wheatley’s book - A New View of the Rollright Ring: Exploring ley lines and earth energies discusses some of the topics raised in this talk. .

  • How to Tell a Cromlech from a Quoit ©
    How to tell a cromlech from a quoit © As you might have guessed from the title, this article looks at different types of Neolithic or early Bronze Age megaliths and burial mounds, with particular reference to some well-known examples in the UK. It’s also a quick overview of some of the terms used when describing certain types of megaliths, standing stones and tombs. The definitions below serve to illustrate that there is little general agreement over what we could classify as burial mounds. Burial mounds, cairns, tumuli and barrows can all refer to man- made hills of earth or stone, are located globally and may include all types of standing stones. A barrow is a mound of earth that covers a burial. Sometimes, burials were dug into the original ground surface, but some are found placed in the mound itself. The term, barrow, can be used for British burial mounds of any period. However, round barrows can be dated to either the Early Bronze Age or the Saxon period before the conversion to Christianity, whereas long barrows are usually Neolithic in origin. So, what is a megalith? A megalith is a large stone structure or a group of standing stones - the term, megalith means great stone, from two Greek words, megas (meaning: great) and lithos (meaning: stone). However, the general meaning of megaliths includes any structure composed of large stones, which include tombs and circular standing structures. Such structures have been found in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, North and South America and may have had religious significance. Megaliths tend to be put into two general categories, ie dolmens or menhirs.

    Report on a New Horizons Research Project. MAGNETOMETER SURVEYS OF PREHISTORIC STONE CIRCLES IN BRITAIN, 1986. by A. Jensine Andresen and Mark Bonchek of Princeton University. Copyright: A. Jensine Andresen, Mark Bonchek and the New Horizons Research Foundation. November 1986. CONTENTS. Introductory Note. Magnetic Surveying Project Report on Geomantic Resea England, June 16 - July 22, 1986. Selected Notes. Bibliography. 1. Introductory Note. This report deals with a piece of research falling within the group of enquiries comprised under the term "geomancy". which has come into use during the past twenty years or so to connote what could perhaps be called the as yet somewhat speculative study of various presumed subtle or occult properties of terrestrial landscapes and the earth beneath them. In earlier times the word "geomancy" was used rather differently in relation to divination or prophecy carried out by means of some aspect of the earth, but nowadays it refers to the study of what might be loosely called "earth mysteries". These include the ancient Chinese lore and practical art of Fengshui -- the correct placing of buildings with respect to the local conformation of hills and dales, the orientation of medieval churches, the setting of buildings and monuments along straight lines (i.e. the so-called ley lines or leys). These topics all aroused interest in the early decades of the present century. Similarly,since about 1900 interest in megalithic monuments throughout western Europe has steadily increased. This can be traced to a variety of causes, which include increased study and popularisation of anthropology, folklore and primitive religion (e.g.

  • Stone Portals by Sergey Smelyakov [email protected]
    The Stone Portals by Sergey Smelyakov [email protected] This issue starts hosting of English edition of the e-book The Stone Portals (http://www.astrotheos.com/EPage_Portal_HOME.htm). The first Chapter presents the classification and general description of the stone artefacts which are considered the stone portals: stone – for their substance, and portals – for their occult destination. Their main classes are the pyramids, cromlechs, and stone mounds, as well as lesser forms – stone labyrinths et al. Then, chapter by chapter, we analyze the classes of these artefacts from the viewpoint of their occult and analytical properties, which, as it turned out, in different regions of the world manifest the similar properties in astronomical alignments, metrological and geometrical features, calendaric application, and occult destination. The second Chapter deals with the first, most extensive class of the Stone Portals – the Labyrinth- Temples presented by edifices of various types: Pyramids, mounds, etc. This study is preceded by an overview of astronomic and calendaric concepts that are used in the subsequent analysis. The religious and occult properties are analyzed relative to the main classes of the Labyrinth-Temples disposed in Mesoamerica and Eurasia, but from analytical point of view the main attention is devoted to Mesoamerican pyramids and European Passage Mounds. Thus a series of important properties are revealed re to their geometry, geodesy, astronomy, and metrology which show that their builders possessed extensive knowledge in all these areas. At this, it is shown that although these artefacts differ in their appearance, they have much in common in their design detail, religious and occult destination, and analytic properties, and on the world-wide scale.

    Oxoniensia 78 txt 4+index_Oxoniensia 17/11/2013 12:04 Page 1 ROMANO-BRITISH VILLA AT COMBE 1 The Tom Hassall Lecture for 2012 Prehistoric Oxford GEORGE LAMBRICK SUMMARY There is growing though still limited evidence of Palaeolithic and Mesolithic hunter gatherers in the Oxford area. During the Neolithic and early Bronze Age a major ceremonial and funerary complex developed at the confluence of the Thames and the Cherwell. It included an early Neolithic square enclosure, a major Beaker period henge monument and a Bronze- Age linear barrow cemetery aligned on the Neolithic enclosure. Communities probably practised mobile pastoralism until later prehistory when more permanent farms were established in a pattern of settlement that respected the pre-existing ceremonial complex. A possible hillfort at Wytham and a major Iron-Age midden and later temple complex at Woodeaton lie outside Oxford, but there is growing evidence of late-prehistoric activity on other hills within and west of the city as well as on the valley floor. At Port Meadow, middle Iron-Age settlements survive as earthworks set within the living legacy of the grazed grassland in which they were established. This part of the Thames valley was politically pivotal in the later Iron Age, but unlike the oppida and subsequent Roman towns at Dorchester and Abingdon, Oxford remained a relative backwater. Oxford is well known for its medieval urban archaeology through the work of Tom Hassall and others, and for the Roman period the extensive pottery industry is likewise familiar, but the

  • 1 Children of the Stones
    Children of the Stones: Prehistoric Sites in British Children’s Fantasy, 1965-2005 Charles Butler, University of the West of England The Uses of Prehistory Henges, standing stones, barrows, ancient trackways and other types of prehistoric site are common features in British children‘s fantasy fiction. As reminders of, and sometimes portals to, the past, they are natural subjects for any writer for whom questions of history and belief exercise a fascination. Here we can touch and gaze upon objects that were important to those who came before us. Indeed, we are looking at the work of their hands, which stands as a complex and mute puzzle, an empathetic conundrum of the kind novels seem well suited to explore. Who were these people? Why did they go to so much effort, over such a long period? What was it like to be them? These perennially elusive questions form one major aspect of the monuments‘ appeal to writers, as to other people. Another consists simply in the longevity of the monuments themselves, which have stood, relatively unchanged, through so much human history. British children‘s fantasies of the 1960s and ‗70s in particular are often characterized by a concern to ‗connect‘ with the past; and prehistoric monuments can easily be called to the service of this humanist project. Beyond such general observations, however, we can point to several more specific roles that have been played by prehistoric monuments in fantasy fiction, roles that derive in varying degrees from such external discourses as archaeology, folklore, and New Age theories. In what follows I shall attempt a brief survey of these roles, before considering the ways in which one in particular – the use of prehistoric sites as portals to other worlds – is exploited in Alan Garner‘s Elidor (1965) and Catherine Fisher‘s Darkhenge (2005), two texts which stand as chronological book-ends to my discussion.

  • Singing up the Country Reveals That Bob Trubshawhas Been Researching a Surprising Variety of Different Topics Since His Last Book Six Years Ago
    Singing Up the Country reveals that Bob Trubshawhas been researching a surprising variety of different topics since his last book six years ago. From Anglo-Saxon place-names to early Greek philosophy - and much in between - he creates an interwoven approach to the prehistoric landscape, creating a ‘mindscape’ that someone in NeolithicBritain might just recognise. This is a mindscapewhere sound, swans and rivers help us to understand the megalithic monuments. Continuing from where scholarship usually stops and using instead the approaches of storytelling, the final chapter weaves this wide variety of ideas together as a ‘songline’ for the Aveburylandscape. This re-mythologising of the land follows two ‘dreamtime’ ancestors along the Kennetvalley to the precursors of Aveburyhengeand SilburyHill. Few writers have Bob Trubshaw’sbreadth of knowledge combined with a mythopoeticability to construct a modern day story that re-enchants the landscape. Singing Up the Country will be an inspiration to all those interested in prehistory, mythology or the Neolithicmonuments of the World Heritage Site at Avebury.
