That’s nice… very interesting; I love the beam of light.

The only place I’ve seen anything similar is on Glastonbury Tor, from afar, I have occaisionally seen small pin pricks of light, shoot up from the ground into the air.

Never been able to photograph one though, its a rare spontaenious occurrance. When it happens it almost looks like a tiny shooting star shooting out of the ground into the sky (this happens in broad daylight) A small white light shooting off into a light blue (or grey) sky… so it’s easy to miss.

I wonder if its some sort of energy discharge?

[imported_YURIMember]

Lol, Andy

You’re probably right, but I’ll sit on the fence with this issue… maybe even 99% of orbs are natural accidents, but the paranormal is quirky and will often have the last laugh

So I’d still take a peek at all orbs, maybe a needle in a haystack but I wouldnt make it a dogma to dismiss all orbs. A sphere is a very natural and organic shape… to me, energy of other realms is more likely to appear in the form of an orb rather than any other shape.

But you are probably right, 99.9% can probably be explained, but I’ll still be hoping to see that which cannot be explained.

Hi Andy

Glad you are back… things have been pretty quiet around here of late.

Just the summer. People busy every evening, getting things done (I know I’ve been very busy of late)… things will pick up again soon, I’m sure.

You could always start off some topic/s?

Yuri.

Hi Perceval

Thanks for your feedback re my Glastonbury Zodiac pages.

The Zodiac in Somerset is impossible to proove as a genuine historical reality… you could quite easily argue that it was ‘invented’ by the late Katharine Maltwood in the 1920′s…

… but you could argue the same about the historical reality of Wicca or modern Paganism stemming forth from the ‘Golden Dawn’ or Aliester Crowley’s ‘Thelamic’ methodology… magically they’re all valid.

Since Katharine brought it into ‘discussion’ in the 20′s; it has now had an 80 year gestation period, psychically, and so really exists as a psychic/thought-form and so can be used for magical/shamanic pathworking… at the very least, it exists in this manner.

That said, the impressions that psychics have picked up, Andrew, Earthquest and Co, numerous people I know in Glastonbury and myself… I believe it is at least as old as the 12th century, and possibly older.

Numerous place names and the deliberate location of various Norman churches lend serious weight to my 12th century assumption… Katharine Maltwood believed it was built around 2400 B.C. … I’m not sure about that, but I’d certainly put my money on it being ‘at least’ 12th century and possibly older.

Your West/East line, is your Equinox horizontal

So, true north = 0 degrees
east = 90 degrees
south = 180 degrees
west = 270 degrees

Beltaine is 63 degrees/ to Samhain at 243 degrees

so from St Michael’s Island, count true north as 0 degrees and move clockwise towards the north east, 63 degrees… thats your Beltaine alignment.

Try out the Somerset Parallelogram measurement of 11 miles; make the island the centre of your circle and draw an 11 mile radius around it to see if it lands anywhere of interest.

How strange.

Part of Rocky Valley (6.5 acres) with old mill and Bronze Aged labyrinth rock carvings are coming up for auction!!!

http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/websitefree/

Starting bids around 65,000 pounds… (beyond my pocket) I hope it goes to some pure ‘Fae’ soul.

A nice coincidence. This morning in the post, I recieved the latest journal from the Chalice Well in Glastonbury, see picture below… they got an orb with some sort of flower/butterfly shape within it.

Quote:

“I’m descended from Jesus” would it really matter?

Whoops, don’t really want to start a discussion on that one!

That was one of the things of the film that was lost on me. If Jesus and Mary Magdalene had children, then their descendents should now number in their thousands… so the significance of ‘Sophie’ being ‘the one’, was completely lost on me.

Also this all comes from the Priory of Sion claiming that the Merovignions were the descendents of christ… this maybe what the Mero’s believed but there isnt a scrap of evidence to confirnm such… 700 years between Jesus and the Merovignions, and all Europian monarchs claim divine descent at some time or other; be they sons of Odin or sons of god.

And the bottom line is. If someone could proove (dna wise) that they were J.C’s. descendent… so what?… do we really need this to ‘know’ that the history of the Catholic Church is corrupt with lies and bloodshed, we know this already…

… as for needing a ‘Divine Feminine’, we have that already dont we? in Ishtar, Isis, Diana and hundreds of other goddesses… So too the 5 pointed pentagram being a symbol of the divine feminine… well Ishtar was an 8 pointed star, many thelemites will have babalon as a 7 pointed star… so maybe all stars (no matter how many points) are feminine… but then isnt that apt to Nuit the sky goddess?

Some of the film was a complicated as an Enid Blyton ‘Famous Five’ book… Secret message says look at such and such a painting, message on that painting says look at another painting (where a key was found) well, why didnt the first message just point to the painting with the key… it would of saved a lot of time to a dying man… and the images of the paintings werent important as they themselves gave no clue… you could of just hidden the key under a Damien Hurst pickled Cow…

Rant over …..

…for now

After finding my orbs at Nectans glen I did a lot of google image searching for both ‘orbs’ and ‘rain’

Rain never looks like perfect circles, it is always droplet pear shaped

Orbs are always perfect looking circles and usually transparent; – if it were a blurred insect you would expect there to be an area of density within the orb… and would a blurred bug make a perfect circle?

I’m not sure what to think; I am undecided to be honest, especially with nighttime flash photography bouncing off from moisture in the air, but a lot of the pictures are in bright daylight so the flash wasnt required.

I’ve seen many photos now of Saint Nectans glen, many have orbs and many dont; with a waterfall you should constantly have moisture in the air so shouldnt all photos of the glen then have orbs?

[imported_YURIMember]

LOL!

All you missed was the final scene of Tom Hanks going back to France to the massive inverted glass pyramid in the shopping centre to kneel at the presence of Mary Magdalene and then the camera pans down to below the ground to her ancient sarcophagus.

I thought the film was ok (but I’d of sent it straight to video and I dont want to see it again) the story was a complete load of trash, and the historian in me had to resist himself from major outbursts of Torretts Syndrome… HnnghHH! ‘Wa**ers!’

I went home and knocked this webpage up to explain again how any interpretation of ‘Sangreal’ as ‘Blood Royal’ is totally irrelivant as the original name of the Grail was the ‘Graal’ NOT ‘Sangreal’ anyway… I’d written about this in length just a couple of years ago in the Temple booklet, and gave a Grail lecture at Temple Lodge in Scotland… but people dont want to let go of the Priory of Sion myth.

http://uk.geocities.com/yuri.leitch@bti … sense.html

Just yesterday on prime time BBC1 there was a Holy Grail program and the narrator said that Chretien de Troyes (who wrote the first grail romance) described the grail as a cup (He didnt! he specifically describes it as a bowl from which food is being served!) and the program narrator said that Chretien invented it all! with no bloody evidence to support that view and Chretien himself describes being given an older book and working from that earlier text… I would of expected more intelligence from the BBC, nice to know the License fee is going to good use

“Wa**ers!”

Quote:

but many just stayed as minor heroes like Egretes (good for shrines only!).

Very interesting… made me mindful of the numerous Holy Wells in Cornwall named after ‘local’ saints and hermits… Also of the Anglo Saxon saints of Northumbria; – many of whom were warriors and kings, guilty of all sorts of violence and warfare (often against their own kin)… did’nt stop them becoming ‘sainted’ though.

It’s almost as if being ‘Sainted’ was an acknowledgement of divine blood… ‘Os’ (Oswald, Osric, Oswin etc) means ‘godly’.

With Egretes the emphasis was on ‘hereditary rites’, Like the Chinese worshipping their ancestors at a family shrine, those who nurtured Egretes shrine, could they be the descendents of a once ‘heroic’ ancestor?

[imported_YURIMember]

I havent posted anything on this yet because Ive never heard of Egretes

But I see recurring themes; – one of the main themes of Andy new book (out in the autumn) is of a heavenly bird upon a tall pole; this is a recurring image across many cultures and I’m reminded of Simons recent image of of bat type wings upon a roman standard. basically any pole with wings atop like the mercurial symbol the Caduceus… could the Stave of Egretes be a ‘winged stave’ somehow?

The impression I got when first reading your post (no pun intended) was of a Swan Knight but I guess that’s just a hero figure emblazoned with a big white/grey bird.

The bird that Simon saw on a tai chi poster would most definitly be a Crane, which is very Egret looking

Curiously I am meeting some chap from Oxford on monday who practices some traditional Viking martial art, with choreography/movement postures based upon the runic alphabet, apparentally this is a traditional art and is called ‘Stav’, so I’ll be able to evaluate it from a tai chi perspective, see if there are any ‘White Crane Spreads its wings’ movements in there.

Is it ok to sell freshly harvested body parts… and what’s the going rate for a nice pair of ears (sorry they’re not matching)?

I’m in agreeance with Simon.

Surely (for what ever reasons) if someone is going to sell something of questing interest then it should be encouraged to appear here first rather than on eBay where we may never hear about its availability.

As for magic wands and energised water, so long as the vendor is honest about what they are selling and explain why they believe said item/s to be worthy… then it’s up to the buyer to make up his or her mind about the usefulness of the item… what may appear irrelivant or even trite to one person may seem full of synhronicity and serendipity to someone else.

I’m posting these pictures up on behalf of Alex as his online image host isnt functioning properly;

Here is St. Bega’s Cave (below St. Bees Head) on the 14th June 2005

And a picture of Madron Baptistry Chapel (nr Penzance) on the 6th July 2005

The path through Rocky Valley to St Nectan’s Glen… a faerie sanctuary; strange too, in Wales the ‘Vale of Neath’ is said to be the last home of the fairies… Neath (Nudd) and Nectan are all the same name so,

‘Nectan’s Glen’ and
‘Vale of Neath’

are actually the same descriptive, the same placename.

Is ‘Neath, Nudd, Nectan the old ‘Celtic’ Oberon?
