"Through the unknown, unremembered gate...": November 2009
http://megalith6.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Through the unknown, unremembered gate.". Friday, 13 November 2009. The Marian Cipher: an introduction. For some years now I have been touring parish churches in southern England and more recently North Wales, making notes on unusual carvings, figures and features I find there. Recently I noticed a strange circular, six petal ‘daisy wheel’ motif on a church font near Cranborne. Chase I had noticed a parallel pattern from a 7 th. Century CE female burial near a hamlet 10 miles/16km northwest of Cranborne.

"Through the unknown, unremembered gate...": The Midsummer Tree
http://megalith6.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-midsummer-tree.html
Through the unknown, unremembered gate.". Thursday, 4 July 2013. The Tree of Midsummer. The water aspect of summer extends back into the spring called ‘Whitsuntide’ by the Church, and we know that water is referenced here - and interestingly without mention of St John the Baptist - because white was the colour traditionally worn on the occasion of baptism, and so Whit Sunday often followed by Whit Monday and other days during this week in spring. 1. 1 Ronald Hutton, ‘The Stations of the Sun’,...Http:/ ww...

Through the unknown, unremembered gate.". Sunday, 3 August 2008. Part 2: The Sun Goddess of Water. In 1932, J G McKay published a collection of Scots folklore highlighting the close connection between the mythic ‘Cailleach’ and the Highland deer, which she is reputed to have herded and milked. The Cailleach is a complex, terrific figure from Celtic myth and folklore, and in this particular instance she seems to have fulfilled the role of.

Through the unknown, unremembered gate.". Tuesday, 9 July 2013. Concerning the priory, there is local place name etymology for Barnwell as ‘bairns’ well’ where children played, but this looks like a rationalisation of earlier activity at a well which existed here.

Through the unknown, unremembered gate.". Monday, 8 December 2014. Will the real Father Christmas please stand up? A Winter’s Tale. In the family home at Christmas I used to muse over the plastic fairy on top of the artificial conifer tree: who is that supposed to be - and she holds a star (wand), what's this star? Many years on and I realise that it represents the day star, dying and being reborn at the winter solstice - so what exactly is this tree – introduced by Victorian nobility in the 19. The Aust...

Through the unknown, unremembered gate.". Tuesday, 10 July 2012. This article is in response to the current debate on the enigma and origin of the name Easter. I am wondering if Jacob Grimm in his 1835 'Deutsche Mythologie' [1], derived at least some inspiration for his reconstructed Ostara goddess from Bede's mention of Eostre in the 8th century Common Era? Bede was a pioneer for the Roman Catholic faith which was poised and on the very brink of converting Britain to Roman Catholicism [despite the Celti...
