Does modern science have it’s roots in the occult?

Swindon Libraries will be playing host to bestselling authors Clive Prince and Lynn Picknett as they talk about their new book The Forbidden Universe.

Were the first scientists hermetic philosophers? What do these occult origins of modern science tell us about the universe today? The Forbidden Universe reveals the secret brotherhood that defined the world, and perhaps discovered the mind of God.

All the pioneers of science, from Copernicus to Newton via Galileo, were inspired by Hermeticism. Men such as Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Leibniz, Bacon, Kepler, Tycho Brahe – even Shakespeare – owed much of their achievements to basically occult beliefs – the hermetica.

In this fascinating study, Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince go in search of the Hermetic origins of modern science and prove that not everything is as it seems and that over the past 400 years there has been a secret agenda behind our search for truth. From the age of Leonardo da Vinci, the influence of hermetic thinking upon the greatest minds in history has been hidden, a secret held by a forbidden brotherhood in search of the mind of God.

Join the authors at the Central Library on Thursday 14th April at 7:30pm.

Tickets are £2 (£1.50 concessions) and are available from the First Floor Help point at the Central library.

March Moot - Rediscovering Avebury Henge and The Earth Force

For the coming March moot I’m delighted to announce that Maria Wheatley will be joining us. Maria is author and co-author of a number of books including:

Avebury: Sun, Moon and Earth
Ancient Sites of Stonehenge
The Essential Dowsing Guide: 1
Stonehenge: An Investigation into Earth Energies

Maria also wrote Avebuy: Sun, Moon and Earth with another writer, Busty Taylor, who I’m also delighted to say will be joining us and presenting the first part of the talk. Busty will start things with an examination of Avebury’s solar alignments, followed by Maria who will talk to us about ley lines and earth energies.

Avebury is a regional power centre which holds many secrets. At specific times of the year the Sun and Moon interact with certain stones creating mysterious shadow lines and also linear lines of intense bright light, which were used in past rituals. Intriguingly, surrounding stone circles and mounds were aligned upon these light/yang and shadow/yin lines which can extend for miles and possibly inspired the ley line phenomena.

Powerful earth energies were also integrated into Avebury’s megalith architecture which are absorbed and transmitted by the standing stones – the electromagnetic frequencies of which were recently detected by sensitive electronic equipment. Further investigations revealed that when megalithic or earth energy is contained, by constructing certain stylised monuments, paraterrestrial activity causes mind-altering affects, time-lapses, and spirit manifestations. Maria describes which earthen and stone structures were designed to produce paraterrestrial affects and how to recognise and interact with the Earth Force within Avebury’s timeless landscape.

Fascinating stuff, I think you’ll agree, and I’m certainly looking forwards to enjoying March’s moot on Sunday 6th at the new time of 4pm at the Red Lion.

Great News.

The Red Lion will be roaring back to business within the hour so our lovely moot is on! See you for 4pm.

Fire at the Lion - Please check in tomorrow.

Greetings.

The Red Lion had a small fire last night and are just hoping to have the pub ready prior to the moot.

I'll update you all for midday tomorrow so just check your mails and the blog

Andrew Collins presents: Avebury – The Cygnus Mystery

Sunday 6th @ 4.00pm

Greetings Mooties, this coming moot will be presented by the famous author Andrew Collins. For this moot Andrew asks, is Avebury aligned to the constellation of the Northern Cross, also known as Cygnus, the celestial swan. This was the discovery of Professor Alexander Thom in the 1960s, and rubbished by American archaeoastronomer Professor Gerald Hawkins, famous for announcing that Stonegenge was a Neolithic calendar clock.

Andrew Collins investigated and found that Thom was correct – Avebury is aligned to Cygnus. Yet if so why? What is the significance of this much overlooked constellation positioned so prominently on the Milky Way? The answer is that it has been seen as the point of

origin of life and universe, as well as the destination of the soul in death for cultures and civilizations around the world for many thousands of years. Its influence is reflected in the alignments of the Pyramids of Giza, the Indian mound sites of North America, the great temple of Cusco, and the Hindu temples of India. In his book THE CYGNUS MYSTERY, Andrew shows that Cygnus has been at the root of religions worldwide for over 30,000 years.

You can have a look at Andrew Collins site here by the way - check out the books page!

Please note that the start time for this presentation is 4pm, so please ensure you get there a little early as we'll be starting on time.

Happy New Year!

Greetings mooties. This month's moot is going to be a gentle affair at the Lion for chit chats and plotting. Next month we have a fabulous speaker lined up... more to come very soon once the t's have been crossed.

See you tomorrow at 3pm.

The Snow Moot!

Wow, isn't the scenery in and around Avebury so very stunning? This month's Pagan Moot is back in the pub and we'll be having a talk by Terry Dobney, Arch Druid and Keeper of the Stones and a general get together and chit-chat. The original plan to help fix up the West Kennet Long Barrow prior to the Moot has been postponed until another time, so it'll be in the Well Room for 3pm.

A big thanks to The Red Lion for having us back again. Having tried a few different venues now, the general consensus is that it'd be best held in the Red Lion. So come along for a chit-chat and join me in celebrating new life, my son Oberon.
