Nice man, I like this.
Thank-you. My ill-spent youth 😂😂
I found my set of runes whilst packing! I will be using them a bit now and then, I completely forgot them... =)
These are the Younger Runes(futhark). In the Elder there are twenty-four, or more, but this set is of sixteen. The runes ranged from Northern ice down to the Celtic Europe, and Ogham is a very similar language used for similar purposes but rarely carved as were the runes for public perusal. In earlier days both Runes and Ogham were for the magical use of the men and women who were involved in evoking those native nature spirits of their areas. The Ogham was perhaps more widely used in the same manner by all Celtic people's 'drui' and the Runes although starting out were much the same, as their peoples grew differently according to their environment, so too did runes and their uses. Runes were still being used 'magically' until well into the twelfth century, but Ogham was dwindling by the end of the first millenium due mostly to lack of drui bards, but mostly because of the nature of the increase in medieval Christianity. The commons as constituted by the field and forest workers kept both alive far beyond what their local religious leaders could contend with. The yeoman's idea being one never casts away what may be useful, and one never knows which or what spirit might be present. Their forefathers knew, and those gnomes, dryads, undines, sylphs and salamanders which our ancestor's dealt with daily are still extant, if one knows to be still, quiet in spirit, and grateful and appreciative. It obviously helps in today's violent loudness that one begins contacting by going to a spirit hove, many of which are still about, like the crossings of ley-lines on a full moon, or the 'eldest druid' oak in the forest, or a waterfall, or an underground cavern entry/exit. Such are places similar to a stone circle or natural hole-in-a-rock, that may be found away from the high wires, highways and other civil disturbances, that still serve in helping the unquiet spirit to rest and be still. Keep on keeping on. 😇

Interesting info on the runic alphabets, I like the runes, (not much of a fortuneteller) but I have a set of wooden runes also the original tarot deck, but I think there might be some cards missing from my deck! =)
Yeah, the magic places still exists out there, and spirits, I know people who have seen fairies and such and they where not "psychotics" or intoxicated, fairly credible people...
Interesting with laylines, I wonder how to find them? Like using one of those "dowsers" maybe? Or maybe they are on Google maps now days?
=)
I am also interested in the runes and ogham they have found in the New World, I am wondering a lot about the possible expeditions and the cross continental cultural exchange in pre-columbian times...
I might write something on that when I have more internet access...
Peace brother!
On ley lines. Can be seen easily in some English countryside, just from the cows lining up.
About them specifically, I've not read as much as I'd like. Inside some ca'er is a spiral of ley-line to which the out-branching ley-lines are in central alignment. So what was later called a hill-fort or castle(dun) was first a man made hill to raise a dirt platform high in middle-earth right physically above the place of the matrix of lines of 'life-force' (magnetic linears between electro-magnetic pressured areas¿) electro-magnetic conduits. Dragons.
For research, a good start is - to read the oldest recorded 'book', from The Natural History Museum London, - co'era lingus -
I am going to read up on this and become a Ley Line Master!!!!
Thanks for the tip on that book "- co'era lingus -"...
That book is a white-gloves effort. It's been forty years since I was in those archives. Translations might be available for different subject matter or as straight copy, but the chapter I read was full of notes, and it had interesting dialogue of a 'teluric' fluid once used to light up the stones in ceremonies. You might need to apply charm to your nearest Mage of Rosicrucian Golden Dawn mysteries to find out more. All I have here are very short notes. At the time I believe I was following research on the myth/legend of, singing the stones weightless, to move monoliths into place, considering Stones of Stonehenge may very well have travelled from Eire. The mention of 'teluric' fluid is about the ceremonies of quarters of the year.
Best of luck. Keep on keeping on😇

Read up on Canadian Papers on Labrador settlements. I am not in the Americas or I would be researching the elder's of the Iroquois Nations and their earliest stories of white peopled ships from the north and east. There were Viking raids in the 12 century on east coast of England and the Legendary Arthur fought not just Saxons from across the Narrows but Norse from the Scottish coasts, so with a seven hundred year exodus, northmen will probably been more frequent in the Americas than so far accepted. I haven't had opportunity but I would like to hear more records of drilled cores of 'ice giants' glaciers. It might prove very interesting to see the cycles of warmer and colder summers. Both prey and predators increase their breeding in years better for food - how did the animals know? - and was there a marked change in living conditions for man according to those years.??
@simon62, glad to receive all the information, thank you!
I am sure there was periods of abundance and also scarcity during those years, 200 "vikings" or "post-vikings" disappeared from Greenland in the 1400... No evidence of what really happened to them after that, I think they got sick of Greenland and the climate there and headed south somewhere and interbreed with natives (or maybe just got killed and captured as slaves or something, but I think there might have been some early mixing of cultures)...
I have been looking into the "hooked X" theory, pretty fascinating, you should check it out, it has to do with a specific runic symbol and theories about pre-columbian activity in the Americas...
Hooked X ¿
OK, not heard of this theory. Thanks, I will contemplate, as I gather info. Thank-you.
Magic places. In Australia there are many but the Dreamtime is wholly different in feel. In Scotland is Findhorn, in the Pyrenees is St James. Or back in Scotland the Templars Chapel. All three present an aura magic imbued, but Findhorn is natural like ley-line magnetism while the other two are fed by a different reverence. In fact, just a few posts ago, I told of a car journey south out of Brisbane to the NSW border above Running Ck, and there, at the border gate is an Entrance to Forest (national park) with bell-birds and whip-birds calling on one's inner ear, while the Road winds down the mountain range past views and abyss. A magic trip on Lion's Rd from Rathdowney in SEQ to Kyogle in NNSW.
Thanks for the info on magic places Simon.
Sounds amazing, what an intense trip.

Magic - what is it, but a view outside the mundane normal acceptance levels. Meeting the same Lady every morning might take the edge off LUST, but Love is the continuation of accepting that magic of first paying each other attention. Magic is an adjustment in consciousness made by awareness of presumption of isness. Hmm, it is the science we haven't yet grasped. Well. It's very easy to say what it is not, but much more difficult to delineate what it is. Two people enter a forest such as that photo'd in my earlier post, while one is conscious of fear, one is conscious of wonder. The magic remains the same, but gloom is attracted to one viewpoint and awe to the other. The magic is in our creativity and manipulation of how the malleable physical in which we room is perceived. We are not our physical vehicles, and THAT is magic in perception right there, leading to many viewpoints that differ from 'normal' science.
