Stone Circles, A Users Guide
1
It is an unsolved mystery how reasonably advanced but illiterate societies
made long distance journeys, as the archaeological evidence shows they
repeatedly did. Stone circles, countryside markers and strategic trackways
turn out to be the answer. Luckily the evidence is often still there.
The Michael Line
21
The Megalithic navigational system required a base line and the longest
stretch of land across Britain, running from Cornwall to the Norfolk coast,
was adopted. The most convenient point on this line, Avebury, became the
main
entrepôt.
The International Dimension
31
The problem of sailing without charts in tidal seas as opposed to tideless
ones and how menhirs and dolmens solved the problem. The ankh and the
Celtic cross. Carnac explained.
The Megalithics after Megalithia
43
The increasing demands of the Bronze and Iron Ages rendered the stone
circle system increasingly obsolescent. The rise of The Hermits ( servants
of Hermes ) aka the Druids who developed the system. The arrival of the
Romans and literacy displaced the non-literate Megalithic system which
only returned to power when the Romans and literacy departed.
The Megalithic Saints
64
After the Roman Empire Megalithia utilised Christianity by creating a
counter-canon of saints: John the Baptist, Mary Magdalen, the dragon
saints, the Irish missionary saints, etc. Former Megalithic sites were given a
Christian veneer and monastery-scriptoria established to redevelop the old
trading routes.
6 Festivals
and Folk Beliefs
100
The significance of May
1st
(Beltane) and its calendrical opposite
November
1st
(Samhain) in the Megalithic Year. Animal domestication as
the origin of many folk customs: the maze as bird-snaring device, hobby
(hobbled) horses etc. Rogationtide festivals and boundary marking. The
original significance of pilgrimages. The folk-character Jack as Everyman
(Guy). The role of witches in contraception and abortion. Yuletide and
Boxing Day explained. The role of various sprites, piskies, green men,
etc. in the countryside and the wildwood. The importance of drugs in the
Megalithic economy.
7
Paying for the System
144
Salt as the main commodity. Relationship between villagers and drovers.
Payment devices embedded in modern lore: nuts in May, wishing wells etc.
Transport nodes and economic activity: fords, mill races, textile industry,
fish-on-Fridays. Problems of capital accumulation: advantage of celibate
organisations over family firms.
8
Megalithic Terraforming
159
The possible human origins of various
landforms:
chalk downlands, forest
reserves, moorland. Megalithic structures that are recognised as such,
e.g. Silbury Hill, or not, e.g. Milk and Tan Hill. Avebury and Stonehenge,
compare and contrast. The artificiality of the Somerset Levels and Norfolk
Broads. Solving the mystery of the Iron Age
hillforts .
9
The Megalithic Control of Animals
179
The surprisingly small number of today s fully domesticated species. The
larger number of animals that have been exploited in antiquity. The true
history of falconry. The barn owl. The mustelidae. The natural history of
the rabbit. Water fowl and their relationship to Man. The extraordinary
corvidae. The bison: an exercise in historical revisionism.
10
The Origins of Megalithia
219
The first animal domestication, reindeer. The first plant domestication
and why. The development of grass products for animals and then people.
Explanation of cradle civilisations . The gulf between nomads and farmers.
The Megalithics exploit the split.
