Saint Michael Leyline in Astrogeography
The definition of Ley- Lines was first introduced by amateur archaeologist Alfred Watkins in his books Early British Trackways and The Old Straight Track. For more information about leylines see the article on ancient-wisdom.co.uk or other pages like the Thomas Piketty Blog …… or videos:
Saint Michael Leyline explains the resonance between the island of Saint Michael´s Mount and Saint Michael`s Church on Glastonbury Tor.
But it is more than these two places: there are a number of extremely important and highly energetic places on this Leyline.
Astrogeographical positions of places along St Michael Leyline
For this article I calculated the astrogeographical positions of a number of places along Saint Michael´s Leyline to study their individual qualities and also get an idea about underlying patterns that relate the places with each other. The following list is calculated for morphogenetic field level 3 which describes how a place is embedded in the surrounding area. I had the choice of using either field level 4 which would describe the atmosphere of a site itself, but found the results for field level 3 more convincing.
For astrogeographical field level 3 these fields are stretched about 1, x 1,5 km.
As can be seen the three most frequent astrological signs among the coordinates of the famous and acknowledged sites along Saint Michael´s Leyline are in highly dynamical, stimulative, male signs like the two fire signs Aries and Sagittarius and intensely electrical Aquarius.
Glastonbury
For astrogeographical details on Glastonbury see: Glastonbury Abbey and Tor in two different worlds
Glastonbury Tor having both coordinates in Aries the sign of action, speed, ignition, self-defense, warfare and knighthood has the most intensest possible activating sign combination here.
Saint Michael`s Mount
Article: “Saint Michael`s Mount and Mont Saint Michel in Sagittarius”
The female more receptive signs like Cancer, Taurus and Virgo are also present but are less frequent. Their role would be to stabilize and reconnect the flow of energy and the moving spirit of the living beings. Taurus as the sign of the earth has the role of grounding. Virgo as the sign of the protection spirits of plants and nature would be there to relate the the beings to nature. And Cancer the sign of emotional individuality had the role of relating living beings to their own interior energies, emotions and soul.
Avebury
For more details on Avebury, Silbury Hill and west Kenneth Longbarrow ried my article:: Avebury Stone Circle in astrogeography.
Avebury and Stoke St Michael which are located in a constellation related to the earth and mother goddesses (Cancer with Taurus) seem to be the most important of these sites on Saint Michael`s Leyline.
Stoke St. Michael
Pisces the sign of temples and the spiritual plane and Capricorn the sign of mountains, rocks and barriers only occur once. This could mean that places in these signs are either too relaxing (Pisces) for the flow of energies to continue or simply natural barriers and therefore not really typical parts of an intensely dynamic Leyline system.
Restormel Castle
But after all there could easily be many other sites which even if unknown, not recognized or simply not identified which are all essential parts of the actual trail and meridian or canal (nadi) in the landscape. So what the above list of calculated places shows us may not be sufficient material for evaluation of the quality of the Leyline itself. What it shows are the qualities of the better known, easily accessible or sites of historical importance and during a relatively short period (2000 years) of our modern recorded history.
The two mouths Carn le Boel and Hopton-on-Sea
A comparison of the atrogeography of the sites which connect Saint Michael´s Leyline with the ocean reveals an interesting polarity of Carn Lês Boel on the south coast and Hopton-on-Sea on the east coast of England. Carn Lês Boel is located in the combination of dynamic fire sign Sagittarius the sign of travelling with air sign Libra the sign of doors and openings. The combination of a fire with an air sign stands for heat and movement. At Hopton-on-Sea self-centered emotional water sign Cancer the sign of beaches, motherhood, fertility, pregnancy and springs meets with highly defensive, fortress-like, stable, fixed water sign Scorpio the sign of closed containers. This combination sort of suggests the energetical situation of a well or tank. Hopton-on-Sea is not a mouth or gate in the first place but a highly defensive, self protective site which stores and holds the energies that flow here through the Leyline. In terms of electrical power therefore the Hopton-on-Sea would be considered as the negative (-) and Carn Lês Boel as the positive (+) pole.
Cadbury Castle – a possible Camelot
Cadbury Castle, formerly known as Camalet is a Bronze and Iron Age hill fort in South Cadbury, Somerset. It has been associated with King Arthur‘s legendary court at Camelot.
The astrogeographical resonance coordinate of Cadbury Castle in highly idealistic, spiritual air sign Aquarius the sign of self-finding, true friendship is a fascinating analogy for the legend of the spiritual brotherhood that united the Knights of the round Table and also for the quest for the holy grail as a .
The position of the 2nd coordinate stretches between the last degrees in solid fixed earth sign Taurus the sign of the earth, grounding, growing roots, wealth, food, markets and conquering territory and movable air sign Gemini the sign interfaces, road crossings, communication, exchange, learning, technological innovation, language and education. This aspect could explain the role as an economical center and a site that served to connect distant tribes and regions.
James Watkins
James Watkins was born on January, 27 1855 at the Imperial Hotel in Widemarsh Street, Hereford, England with the Moon conjunct Saturn in air sign Gemini the sign of pathways, roads, bridges, connections, interfaces, communication. learning, information and intelligence. This constellation is to be seen as the Watkins`deeper personal relation with the topic of searching for the connection between places through leylines. Leylines are often seen as “meridians” or canals through which information and interaction between places happens.
The concept of morphogenetic fields in the definition of Rupert Sheldrake as the place where the resonance and interaction works was not in use in Europe by then. Athough of course the phenomenon was already there. When I calculated Watkins birth chart and found that he had the 5 personal planets except the Moon in creative, highly innovative spiritual air Aquarius I was deeply touched. As the sign of the nervous system in the human body, the nadi and chakra system of yoga culture and the meridian system of chinese medicine Aquarius is also the clearest possible and most important astrological indicator for the nervous system of the landscapes on our planet. And as I have 5 personal planets plus Saturn in Aquarius in my birth chart I not only see but also feel my astrogeographic world map closely related to the topics and in the tradition of Watkins` discoveries.
The 2nd Saint Michael´s Leyline between Skellig Michael, Saint Michael`s Mount and Mont Saint Michael
The second Saint Michael Leyline is a (more or less) straight line which on maps my be found to connect Skellig Michael off the west coast of Ireland with the Stella Maris Monastery on Mt. Carmel in Israel.
The first two steps after the beginning at Skellig Michael on south-west coast of Ireland are Saint-Michaels-Mount in Cornwall Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy, France.,.For the two Saint Michael`s Mounts which are both located in Sagittarius the sign of shamanism and druid culture compare my text “Saint Michael`s Mount and Mont Saint Michel in Sagittarius”.
Skellig Michael
The monastery on Skellig Michael had been founded in the 7th century and was deserted around 1100..
Astrogeographic position of Skellig Michael Monastery for morphogenetic field level 3 which describes the energetical topics and atmosphere of the monastery and surrounding area: is located right on the divide between highly energetic, magnetic fire sign Leo the sign of the Sun, light, heart and self-protective earth sign Virgo sign of reason, celibacy, yoga culture and a major indicator for monk culture. The second coordinate is in highly imaginative, mystic, spiritual water sign Pisces sign of dreaming, intuition, meditation, music, the spiritual plane, dreaming and temples and as the sign of the ocean also intensely related to the element where the island lies.
Sacra di San Michele near Turin
The Sacra di San Michele (880 m altitude) on Mount Pirchiriano near the City of Turin, Italy is a 12th century abbey on the site of a stronghold dating back to Roman times.
Temple of Sant’ Angelo in Perugia
The round church of San Michele Arcangelo is a 5-6th century round church in the City of Perugia located in the combination of fire sign Aries with earth sign Virgo
Sanctuary of Saint Michael the Archangel on Mount Gargano
The Sanctuary of Saint Michael the Archangel on Mount Gargano, Italy is the oldest shrine in Western Europe dedicated to the archangel Michael. It has been an important pilgrimage site since the early Middle Ages.
Astrogeographical position for morphogenetic field level 4, which describes the energetical topics and atmosphere of the small church itself: The small sanctuary is located in the combination of dynamic, male fire sign Aries sign of action, speed, warfare, fighting with emotional water sign Cancer the sign of the moon, motherhood, fertility, conception and emotional autonomy and individuality.
Stella Maris Monastery on Mount Carmel
The Catholic Christian Stella Maris Monastery of the Discalced Carmelites, a monk order founded by Spanish Saints Teresa de Avila and Juan de la Cruz is located on Mount Carmel in Haifa, Israel. Its main church contains the Cave of the prophet Elijah, which has been a destination for Christian, Muslim and Druze pilgrims.
Mount Carmel is associated with the biblical prophet Elijah who lived a hermit life in a cave here.
The hermit tradition at Mount Carmel is also related to the mysticJewish sect knowns as the Essenes who are assumed to have had their central site of gathering here. In Christian mysticism the Essenes are particularly interpretetd related to “messianic expectation”, a hermit life-style, a critical attitude towards the ruling temple priest caste hierarchy in Jerusalem and a possible source of spiritual initiation for Elisabet, her son John the Baptist and Jesus mother Mary, a relative of Elisabet`s.
The name of Stella Maris (star of the sea) refers to the role of Mother Mary as the patron saint of fishermen.
