The meaning of the two triple spirals at Newgrange?

4/1/2017

Sacred Geometry from outside and inside Dagda's Temple at Brú na Boinne Newgrange. There is a unique design shift message from outside to inside. This is not an accident or a clever modification by me - it is a message from the original designers.

We today interpret the inside triple spiral as an "S" with a tail at the back. The upper spiral is the Realm of Sky, the lower spiral is the Realm of Sea and between them at the back is the Realm of Land, all in balance. On the big stone outside the chamber however there is a different triple spiral. Its still an "S" but the back spiral between the upper and lower spirals only connects to the upper spiral.

Is the message as follows - Outside the energy is with the Sky Realm, but the tail of the back spiral (Realm of Land) is aimed or ready to join the Realm of Sea - now do some Sun Magic with Quartz in the roofbox on the start of the shortest day and the back spiral (Realm of Land) will connect to the Realm of Sea. Is this temple an energy switching device from dominant Sky to dominant Sea in terms of activating the grid?

The two triple spirals are very similar - it is only a slight rotation of the back spiral that disconnects it from the upper spiral and re-connects it to the lower spiral. It needs the Quartz in the roofbox replaced to make it work - how does this interpretation sit with you?

Please note - this short essay is for those who are students with us, we know that each symbol can be seen as 6 spirals, the red and yellow colours were my choice - I'm just provoking others to observe whats there to question why.

Winter Solstice 2014

This is my favourite photo from Saturday at Annagh.
At the start of the longest night of the year the setting Sun aligns up with a four stone row as it sits into a 'saddle' or dip in the holy mountain as seen from the ancient complex at Annagh-Kildangan in Co Mayo. The complex of monuments at Annagh Kildangan is now only just above the waterline but in its day it was a Druí monastery on the north side of Croagh Crom / the Reek and it was dry because it was high above the high tide. The complex was serviced by sea lanes and shore tracks, has a 4 standing stone alignment, a stone circle and is enclosed by a raised bank - its on the Clew Bay trail for tourists, never been excavated and access is easy.

The site is now a Salt Marsh

the stones make a line, the tree is growing in the line also..there is a curve in the mountain where at approx 1.40pm on the Winter Solstice the sun will set.
Picture
This photo is from last year, and shows the Reek in the background with the peak topped with clouds.
Picture
This photo was taken about 10 mins before the sun set into the curve.
