STANTON DREW FORUM

 

Stanton Drew Forum

JULY 19th 2008

Nicholas Mann ~ Sig Lonegren ~ Gordon Strong

 

Many travelled far to take part in the Forum. The evening was honoured with among others, Aaron Bray - a Cornish dowser of high repute, John Hirons - an ex-squadron leader from Devon, Berwyn, Dinky and a chum from Wales and Angela, a lady from Upper Stanton Drew. California and the Netherlands were well represented too. It was an international gathering.

 

Our experts excelled themselves.  Sig Lonegren told the party about auras and demonstrated how they contract when a person stands over the crossing of underground water streams.  Later when everyone found their own special place in the NE circle, Sig showed just how really big an aura can get.  He also showed the power possessed by a single stone, and that very dramatically.  ‘Sig’s Stone’ was a high point of the tour.

 

Holding forth in the Great Circle, Nicholas Mann shared his fascinating insights concerning the horizons at the site.  He explained where the Northern Cross would have been seen by our ancestors, and how the whole pattern of the Woodhenge and the Stone circles so accurately and wonderfully reflected the Neolithic heavens.

 

Gordon Strong explained the paths of the avenues that connected the circles and the importance of Maes Knoll in orienting the site North and South. He told of the great gatherings that probably occurred at Stanton Drew and went on to speculate about the priestly class that occupied the SW circle.

 

Later an earnest discussion ensued at the Cove in the pub garden, though brief because a back entrance to the hostelry had been discovered by the more thirsty members of the party.  Once inside tables groaning with sweetmeats greeted them in a private room.  Drink flowed as easily as conversation and the evening was concluded with a lively discussion and shared views.  Then it was into the night, inspired by the ancestors who had once more passed on the magic of Stanton Drew to some delighted citizens of the twenty-first century.
