Dig pinpoints Stonehenge origins

 

Archaeologists have pinpointed the construction of Stonehenge to 2300 BC - a

key step to discovering how and why the mysterious temple was built.

 

The radiocarbon date is said to be the most accurate yet and means the

ring's original bluestones were put up 300 years later than previously thought.

 

The dating is the major finding from an excavation inside the henge by Profs

Tim Darvill and Geoff Wainwright.

 

The duo found evidence suggesting Stonehenge was a centre of healing.

 

Others have argued that the monument was a shrine to worship ancestors, or a

calendar to mark the solstices.

 

A documentary following the progress of the recent dig has been recorded by

the BBC Timewatch series. It will be broadcast on Saturday 27 September.

GEOMANCY: THE SPIRIT OF THE EARTH AND THE WEB OF LIFE

 

Wise men, philosophers, astronomers and phycisists know that

everything throughout the universe is moving in a balanced,

harmonious dance of energy. The art and science of geomancy

helps us

learn to become aware of these universal energies as they are

experienced upon the planet earth.

 

The literal meaning of the word geomancy is " to divine the

earth

spirt " . To " divine " is to seek understnading or knowledge

through

inituition. The accepted definition of geomancy, according to

most

modern English dictionaries, is :A type of divination or

fortune

telling that uses features of the landscape. The writers of

the

dictionary definition incorrectly assume that the " features "

(forms)

of the landscape are somehouw " read " , giving the geomancer a

message.

 

True geomancy is the art of using ones's mind to " tune in " to

the

energy/information matrix of the planet, thus obtaining

information

and guidance directly from spirit. Those who wish to perform

geomantic rituals seek out power spots for an obvious reason.

The

energy of the earth is stronger at these places, thus making

it

easier to " tune in " " .

 

Geomancy is also a holistic philosophy for understanding the

earth

and mankinds's place upon it. Geomantic philosophy assures us

that

we are one with the earth and that the energy of the earth is

the

very force from which we draw our lives.

 

(OR COULD IT BE A DANCE BETWEEN HUMANS AND EARTH)

 

The art of geomancy includes the performance of rituals and

meditations that help the people of the earth to communicate

with

their planet. Group rituals are considered to be very

important for

maintaining planetary stability. The rituals of the modern

Christain

church have their origin in Page Geomatic Ritual.

 

Those who study geomancy find that many Christian churches in

Europe are built upon power spots initially identified by

pagan

geomancer. It is interesting to note that the word " pagan "

originally meant that a person was a country dweller, or of

the earth.

 

Sedona is in no way unique as a place where human beings have

identified a special power or presence in the natural features

of the

land. Since ancient times, those who are sensitive to the

spirit of

nature have indentified power spots such as Sedona, making

them

shrines or using them to conduct ceremonies that put them in

touch

with the Great Spirit and the spirit of the earth.

 

Power spots in Europe that many of our ancestors worked with

were

used as sites to practice a form of earth worship very similar

to

that of the Native Americn medicine wheel. These ceremonies

were

performed in a circle in which the four directions were always

honored, and marked with a cross/circle.

 

All life and matter whithin our planet's gravity field are

part of

an energy matrix that connects everything. Native American

mystics

speak of this as the " web of life " . The Sedona vortices are

just a

few of the major power spots of our planet that are connected

to this

web of life. Strands of the web also travel through space,

connecting

all things in the universe.

 

The art of geomancy is directly concerned with working with

the

engergies of the web. Upon our earthly plane most people can

best

understand the web by thinking of it as Earth Energy, the

biomagnetic

field of the earth.

 

The wave pattern of our planet's biomagnetic field forms the

strands of the web. These strands are known to English-

speaking

geomancers as Ley Lines. These natural lines of force connect

all

power spots and vortices. Some modern geomancers refer to the

web as

the " planetary grid " .

 

The web acts as a group mind for the inhabitants of the

planet.

It is a channel for information. We seek power spots to make

our

special prayers because we know that these places help to

amplify our

prayers (intentions) and project them to all other beings.
