Exploring Sacred Albion

Throughout 2009, I will be surveying a number of megalithic & sacred sites across the UK, both large and small, legendary and unknown. The aim of the project is to formulate a deeper multidimensional view of their function and presence. This is in addition to the privilege of experiencing firsthand their innate beauty and power.

Some of the oldest and most mysterious structures on Earth will be observed, touched, intoned and reflected upon. Earth energy alignments, astronomical & astrological data, sacred geometry, esoteric sound technologies, psychometry and entheogenic connections will all be explored.

Megalith comes from two Greek words, megas meaning great and lithos meaning stone. Hence the term megalith; great stone. The ancient lands of Albion have a particularly rich and intriguing concentration of megalithic sites, with much fascinating terminology & categorization such as menhirs, dolmens, trilithons, henges, cromlechs and tumuli - all to be further detailed as the project unfolds.

“Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again. Wandering & wandering, what place to rest the search. The mighty arms of Atlas, hold the heavens from the earth...”

Highlights:-

  • Extensive live field recordings will provide an authentic audio document of the journey. These will be made available for purchase on disc so others can share in this magical and unique experience. High quality audio recordings, photographs and complementary research texts all included. Discs will be available from thecleaver.blogspot.com

  • Additional esoteric research, as proposed by Tom of Montalk.net, including ideas from leading alternative scholars, will be undertaken and documented to offer a broader insight into the ancient sites and their arcane function.

  • A live collaboration with Adam from the Psychonautilus, at the height of crop circle season, deep from the hallowed fields of Wiltshire and Somerset. Stone circles, crop glyphs, ancient long barrows. Expect discussion and shamanic contemplations long into the night.

  • Super-dense synchromystic resonators, some already unfurling their crystalline tentacles, will be traced and decoded. Monoliths, obelisks, harmonics and megarituals.
