[Delphi]

Hi Chris and everyone
Re sacred sites, funny you should ask as I was talking yesterday to a friend who reckons that one of the hills not so far from here is far more sacred than is realised because of its relationship to Giza and phi. He did try to explain the maths but i am hugely innumerate. He also pointed me in the direction of Tom Graham's blog phi landscape about Edinburgh and the Lothians.

I did notice in my attempts to follow the recommendations on the Nexus2012 thread(s) that none of the northern Scottish sites were included and that Rosslyn Chapel is highly recommended. Even before the fuss with the Da Vinci Code I found it too frenetic, a bit like Glastonbury.

Traprain Law in East Lothian always gives me a buzz whenever I pass it, but like Rosslyn there's probably a fair bit of Masonic activity around it.


Most of the megalithic sites of the UK are listed in an idiosyncratic book called the Modern Antiquarian by Julian Cope. My personal favourites in Aberdeenshire are Loanhead of Daviot (my son's paternal ancestors are buried near there) Easter Aquhorthies (and a small area of woodland beside the Don at Pitfichie called Paradise which isn't listed in the book as it's just trees and the river). Local to you, there's Clava (where the trees always seem to me that they might be Ents and move when noone's looking at them!) and Corriemony where a huge red bull in a field took huge exception to my companion (as subsequently did I!) And there's Kilmartin in Argyll. I haven't made it to Orkney or Lewis yet.

This has got into a nostalgic trip round this country, partly because i am about to hand my car over to a new owner and I've been thinking a lot today about all the places I've been able to go in it in the last 12 years, and i am rather sad because it's been a good servant!
And now I have to learn to drive a different and wider car. watch out on single track roads folks!

love to all
