Faces, Ladies and Numbers
Sep 02, 2005, 16:33
Apparently there is a place in spain - (which is in JC's Euro Megalithica - which I have forgot the name of) - that is sited next to an (appache???) face in the mountains, I was speaking to someone in maes howe about it a couple of weeks back.

He was saying the site was of a very impressive size and the face in the mountain so spookily realistic.

It's hard to see how the ancients senses were operating when they first settled into an area. Though after visiting many sites like a stamp collector in a post offfice it "feels" that there does seem to be some corelation between the monuments and both the low and the distant horizon at some of these sites.


Castlerigg - obviously - it is surrounded with the nearest hill being a great belly of a thing
Orkney and the Brodgar environs - stories of the recumbant figure been passed down through generations
calanish - when viewed from the satelite circles calanish seems to make up the ribcage of a woman lying down with the tallest stone being the naval.

Also reflected within the long barrows and cairns

The Triple Goddess

As we're on the subject of Machrie moor - this site sites nicely in its panaramic surroundings of which there is quite distinctly the virgin, the maid, and the hag all lying within the horizon - maybe - a coincidence? - or a projection?

Everything has a masculin and feminin genre and no more is it recognised than in the fibres of the french language - (just over the water and once part of the same land) and even today if we climb a hill we'd say "She" or "Her" when referring to one.

--- Ariistotle --- On the Heavens -- 350BC

"For, as the Pythagoreans say, the world and all that is in it is determined by the number three, since beginning and middle and end give the number of an 'all', and the number they give is the triad. And so, having taken these three from nature as (so to speak) laws of it, we make further use of the number three in the worship of the Gods. Further, we use the terms in practice in this way. Of two things, or men, we say 'both', but not 'all': three is the first number to which the term 'all' has been appropriated"
