Really! Off to the southern hemisphere?
Hi Juptin,
You might be interested to learn that Andrew Collins has put an end to the conferences. In the place of ‘Questcon’, he has announced the Psychic Questing Weekender – a return to the original subject matter of the conference. Details here: http://www.andrewcollins.com/page/confe … cenews.htm
…and I’m probably missing the point. Sorry!
On second viewing, there are a lot of ‘faces’ to be seen, impressionistically.
Dunno about ‘impressions’, but this looks like a double exposure, of an uneven, stony surface reflecting flash, and a view into a room (with couch) through a window, with some elliptical structure, either suspended behind the window, or reflected in it.
I haven’t heard so. But then, I haven’t heard anything since booking a ticket.
The event is still advertised on Phil’s blog (from Feb) http://www.book-of-thoth.com/blogs/phil … ce_25.html but I found a recent mention on the Megalithic Portal (anonymous poster 22 May) http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=2146413005
Originally there was due to be an event later in the year, then the Glastonbury event was announced and the later event cancelled.
Considering Gardiner is a ‘marketing’ man, I’m surprised at the lack of info.
You can also add photos and video to saved overlays on Google Maps. Instructions here
You should also try Google Moon (zoom in to the max!).
Hi Yuri,
I have quite a big monitor, so the view I saved may be too big for most. You may have to zoom out using the Google Map controls, or view full screen (F11).
Thanks for the info – I’ll recheck the locations later.
I have plans to plot the St Michael ‘line’ on Google Maps, and also Glastonbury Zodiac… and more besides!
OK, here’s the Somerset ‘Parallelogram’ on Google Maps
Doesn’t look quite so regular now, folks.
Yuri, please check I have the correct co-ordinates/locations.
Cripes! I just checked the Somerset Parallelogram diagram in Yuri’s Temple article, and the angles are 88 and 92.
Admittedly, the diagram is just a few lines and dots at a small scale, and not superimposed over the map, but it looks like a good fit. Anyone got a large scale map to hand?
I would suggest that any fortuitous relationship between sacred sites (such as alignment of prominent hills), reinforces their status individually and as a group (by creating an overall context, or sacred landscape).
Equal spacing is even better.
Signifigant angles is good too, as are round numbers.
I don’t know if there’s anything particularly special about the 11 mile measure, per se, but it may be worthwhile converting it into other ancient units of measure to see if any significant numbers emerge (Surely JM would have tried this?).
In my own research, I have come across the repetition of a 9-mile distance within an example of pentagonal landscape geometry – 2 equal sides (legs) of an isoceles triangle, whose vertex angle is 72 degrees. 9 miles is 72 furlongs.
It’d be interesting to know what the angles of the Somerset Parallelogram are. Pretty sure that 88 degrees (that’s almost a right angle) won’t be among them (11 miles = 88 furlongs), although I dare say the Templecombe Head parallelogram won’t be far off that angle!
I don’t have my copy of The Temple 10 to hand, and unfortunately the graphic is missing on Yuri’s site (which unsurprisingly comes top in Google for ‘Somerset Parallelogram’!)…
Thanks Michael. All’s well then!
Hi Simon,
I’ve had my head down writing and researching of late, but just popped in, and was interested to see the added IM feature. However, the IM window is blank in Firefox (my browser of choice).
I also noticed that I was still logged in from my last visit some time ago (I know, sloppy!). However, I wouldn’t want people thinking they could IM me when I’m not actually there! Could you maybe log members out automatically after a reasonable period of inactivity?
Given my extended period of inactivity, I would fully understand if you were unprepared to act on the above, just for me. I suppose I should use IE and log out properly like everyone else!
Back soon.

I’ve seen loads of these sacred geometry overlays on medieval ecclesiastical floorplans, but they never seem to match up! Am I missing something?
I’m in favour of public reading/member posting, and contacting all members (at least all those who have contributed to the forum) before making the change – then everyone will have the chance to edit their contributions if they feel the need.
I echo Michael’s praises. I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Thanks Yuri.
My occasional visits to Glastonbury are always rewarded with an inspiring and uplifting experience, the lack of ‘formal’ questions and answers at the end of the event being more than made up for by subsequent discussions in the bar and pub.
The more I open up about my own ‘material’, the more encouraged I am to get the stuff published (’bout time too!).
Ross
