    Default The magic of ancient standing stones

    Morning All.
    This is more of an open question than anything else as I would like to have somebody else's take on it?
    What is the driving force that draws people to ancient standing stones?
    - Yes it was a feat of achievement for our ancestors to move and raise such stones.
    - Yes they are often sited in beautiful landscapes.

    But what is the magic that they hold that people gain wonder and comfort from?

    All the best.

    I feel the energies of the land and in most cases I would say it's the energy that people feel, whether they feel that consciously or not. It isn't every standing stone that feels good though as some of them have been corrupted in some way. Avebury, Callanish and Pentre Ifan are my favourites for their wonderful energies, but I visited one stone circle on the west coast of Scotland (I'd have to look up the name) that set my teeth on edge. I dread to think what had happened there.

    A few years ago I met a lass who had recently lost her father and had traveled from Germany to the ancient sites of Kilmartin in Scotland in order to find some comfort from the stones. Its funny you mention the different atmosphere around the stones, researcher Thomas Sheridan said that once the visitor's center is built how some of the magic disappears.

    I have recently posted a video here about my work with the medium Margo Williams in which I mentioned the Scottish author William Sharp who communicated with her from spirit to tell her of witnessing a satanic sacrificial ritual at a stone circle in Scotland. This is the reason why some megalithic sites have a sense of dread and negativity about them. The stones hold the information of everything that has occurred in the vicinity. I shall be telling of my experiences at the stones and the information we have been given about their purpose in a later video.

    I love stone circles. I spent a few summers following their trail in Ireland, Avebury and Wiltshire , the Orkneys and over to Carnac in Brittany. They channel earth energy , connect you to the land and ancient times and peoples , and have spaciousness about them which is healing and nice be around

    What on earth makes you believe any of the globes standing stones were erected by mankind or it's ancestors. I exclude manufactured stones, just those found scattered, usually found associated with rings or circles: reference Prof Alexander Thom?

    They were placed naturally by cataclysms of magnetic storms in our recent past (aka last 5k years).

    the sites are on earth energy sites, i believe the constructions are built specifically to connect the star energies to the earth energies, connecting heaven to earth..they were built i.m.o. at such time when key stars were in that part of the 26,000 year cycle, that the star was at an exact declination to pass directly vertically overhead..the stones are meant to be pointing up to channel the cosmic rays and ground them..i have done a few years research showing that dated temples cathedrals etc are still built during time periods when the stars declination matched the latitude of the site within 20 minutes of arc or what i call overstars..the cygnus star DENEB is the star most favored for this but depends on location and time period
    i have my research in the group overstars on f.b...this method i have found is mostly employed in the west and still used by masonic groups apparently

    I think it has to do with the need to connect to an energy or intelligence in a similar phenomenon as cell phones. If the planet's energy grid also contains data then that could be the draw. The standing stones could represent a technology we don't yet understand.

    Nabta Playa | 8000 Year Old Stone Circles in Southern Egypt & the Orion Connection

    A short video looking at the stone circles of Nabta Playa from southern Egypt (Nubia). These were recently moved to the Nubian Museum in Aswan where they are now on display in the outside area. The first phase of these constructions date back to about 6000 BC, and one stone appears to represent a cow. Skeletons of cows were also found in the area. Robert Bauval and Thomas Brophy discovered specific astronomical alignments and believe they may represent the layout of Orion, which may have influenced the idea to lay out the Giza Pyramids in the same way.

    Well, the Russian Dolmens were not placed by any storm, that's for sure, and they are truly undated, the only approximation is that those are at least 6000 years old or so, but based on human remains found around. And as most people know, those remains could have ended up there later on, possibly hundreds or more years after humans found and used the location for burials or something else

    Nobody truly knows who built them or what for, and no one has found any reason to believe those were used as tombs, because in the cases were human remains were found, those are always close but in other place

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolmen...North_Caucasus
    Quote Concentrations of megaliths, dolmens (Adyghe: исп-унэ) and stone labyrinths dating between the end of the 4th millennium and the beginning of the 2nd millennium B.C. have been found (but little studied) throughout the Caucasus Mountains, including Abkhazia
    Quote The Caucasian dolmens represent a unique type of prehistoric architecture, built with precisely dressed large stone blocks.[citation needed] The stones were, for example, shaped into 90-degree angles, to be used as corners or were curved to make a circle

    They all mostly share a design principle, the hole on one side, and the stone at the top

    And all of them, the real ones, were not 'built' but excavated into already existing stones, to make them hollow, then the top lid stone was placed on top

    No storm created those. Why did you assume all of them were just rocks standing up somewhere?

    Edited to clarify:

    Most of those structures, were stones before they were turned into whatever they had in mind. We don't even know why, but those were stones, and some were tall, standing stones, they were just modified to fit a view, which for some reason was all over the place back then. None of that has to do with storms or electricity raising those stones, and they are still considered "standing stones" by several measures. A Dolmen is a Megalith, for sure, but in the end, the interest of people to build or raise structures like that, and sometimes organize and modified them in certain ways, it's all over the world and through history way too many thousand of years back

    In fact, is not only "pick a hole on some rock or draw something on it". Because on Russia, there are some instances of very small Dolmen which were not hollowed, but instead, left intact on the inside, but reworked to look like a pyramid on the outside, as opposed to the usual ones you find that are left intact on the outside, like boulders, but completely hollow on the inside. There is no answer for that, so far

    Excuse me Stonefinder while i just crack a little joke here....

    Perhaps the driving force that draws people to ancient standing stones is the netflix show Outlander and the chance to connect with wee Jamie???

    There are still a few remaining stone circles in Australia, though on private land and not accessible to the public. Many have been demolished by farmers and the stones used for building fences. But I suspect that happened in Europe and the US as well

    ...the stars change declination in the 26,000 year cycle, moving north to a certain individual limit, and again moving south to stop and turn at the limit for the star in that cycle..when the star has reaches its northernmost point of declination it stops and spends a good deal of time at that declination, sometimes spending 2000 years or more within half a degree of that declination...the latitude that matches that declination becomes important, as that star will pass(apparently) directly vertically overhead at that latitude daily for those thousands of years..example, ELTANIN the right eye of draco the dragon has stopped at 51N30 for the last 1000 years (within half a degree, and currently exact...london is at latitude 51N30 so has become a key place notably for the dragon king lineage and many occult groups..
    ..back to NABTA PLAYA
    SPICA the alpha star for virgo, has stopped at declination 22N27 at6290 BC ...nabta playa is at latitude 22N30 and SPICA was within half a degree from that, from 7000-5500 BC, so was passing directly over the site daily for that period, hence a key site... another example GOZO which had DENEB as 'overstar' for several thousand years coinciding with megalith
    construction/use...there are many key sites in egypt and elsewhere coinciding with various long term similar astronomical events
    ..looking at that date 6290 BC for NABTA PLAYA at spring equinox we find that at sunrise on that day there were 2 more stars rising along with the sun, the orions belt star ALNITAK and RIGEL, BETA ORION
    ...I have many other examples worldwide in my F.B. group 'overstars' and an interesting journey of discovery (for me)
    i dont think you will find this method elsewhere, but would be most interested if you do/have

    Interesting article on 7 of the most enchanting stone circles in Scotland...

    https://www.atlasobscura.com/lists/s...ones-outlander

    but the Clava Cairns not mentioned in that article) are still a very eerie place that attract thousands of USA visitors each year. Why? Partly because of the Outlander tv series. Of the few times I have been there, I recall it eerily silent - no birds tweeting etc. Some reckon stone circles were built on natural energy points on the earth. I'm attracted to Clava as I find it very relaxing, quiet and for recharging the mental batteries.

    There are any number of anomalies world wide. Each requiring one essential commonality "What level of energy would be needed to bake the resonant energies to molecularise the mantle chemistry to create the hard stone chemistry in the first place". Yet many circle stones appear to have been placed by stones of a previous cataclysm, the topic is still heavily debated and merits discovery.

    You have to realize the earth flood of Noah was not as far back as most believe it was and second you have to realize that it wasn't a flood it was a "MUD FLOOD" of massive proportions with whirling plasma storms the size of tornados if not hurricane sized ones striking the earth in many places turning plant life into petrified forms the next octave up from carbon based life if you will, moving them into silica basically and using the hydrogen in every living thing as fuel to ignite it hotter. Just as described about Lot's wife took place also but even more the earth and the heavens vibrated and a massive sound was heard all over the earth! This vibe, this sound, what scientists call, "Elecromagnetic Wind" can be heard when the atmosphere is weakened and as the earth vibrated all these massive stones began moving in the mud just as sand crystals do on a table top vibrating due to a harmonic! Each side was mud! Each side has signs of massive damage and some say residuals of the very sound still exist there forming crop circles to this day. But supposedly these were formed by the sound of the harmonics of the earth/heavens meeting when the sky opened up!
    The genius consistently stands out from the masses in that he unconsciously anticipates truths of which the population as a whole only later becomes conscious! Speech-circa 1937

    Hi

    They eminate the frequencies conducive to the human body and Earth Mother. More than likely the Schumann Resonance. That is the heart beat frequency of Earth Mother. Plus they are more than likely located on powerful lay line locations to. What they can do is activate dormant memories deep within. Or, offer the records contained in the crystalline structures as downloads to. Stuff like this. It just depends on where the individual is at and potentials in their DNA and on the soul level. Plus the level of clearing they have done. Alot of the sites might be dumped on and not that energy hygienic also...so you have to watch out as most people have no concept of energy hygiene these days.

    Just a few things quick. Alot will be seeking to pilgrimage to them with everything going on.

    Morning All.
    This is more of an open question than anything else as I would like to have somebody else's take on it?
    What is the driving force that draws people to ancient standing stones?
    - Yes it was a feat of achievement for our ancestors to move and raise such stones.
    - Yes they are often sited in beautiful landscapes.

    But what is the magic that they hold that people gain wonder and comfort from?

    All the best.
    I think it's that sense of ages past and all the history that stands between you and the time when they were erected? Similar to visiting ancient castles and churches etc but in some ways magnified because they're that much older and more shrouded in mystery.

    I also find them fascinating for what they say about what those people could achieve and what they cared about. Vast efforts were made to make these structures, they mattered to those people in a profound way!
