The Sacred Mountain and the Black Sun

These mysteries were revealed by a glass pyramid which I happened to buy in a local charity shop; this may seem a strange statement but to this day I do not know why I bought the object. I have been to Egypt many years ago and seen the mysterious pyramids and the giant statues of the pharoahs that look so European-like in their countenance, so have had a kind of fascination for these things. All I know is that the glass pyramid seemed to give out some kind of mystical 'aura' that I could feel when I put my hand above it, so I bought it on impulse. 

The Glass Pyramid has the figure of Tutankhamun inside it with the name 'EGYPT', and it seemed to me to be like the Glass Mountain of Germanic Myth, even down to the 'Sleeping-King' within it! If we are to believe certain accounts that state that Tutankhamun had North-West European blood then this is even more interesting. 

When I just looked at the pyramid from the top the shape that appeared was that of the Gar-Rune. This is that of a diamond-shape with an X-cross which breaks it up into four squares. This reminded me of the ancient make-up of Ireland with four counties, the central point being Tara in the central and fifth county. Each was a kingship and in the Glass Pyramid, when looked at from the top, the figure of King Tut can be seen in both upright and reflection, suggesting that this kingship works in two dimensions or two worlds. This make-up and Sacred Kingdoms would not have been restricted to Ireland, but has remained in their legends and myths for us to see. The name Erin, Eriu, and Ireland are all connected to the word 'Aryan' but also to 'Ir' or 'Irmin'. This itself tells us that this land was occupied by the Arya just as the Saxons were Arya and occupied England. (Indeed, if my source was right, the remains of a Saxon settlement were found beneath the Viking settlement of Dublin, something that was never widely published - of course!) 

I have shown in another post how the Gar-Rune is the rune of the Sacred Mountain with the X-cross as the Four Sacred Rivers that spring from the mountain. This is the White Mountain of the North which in Tibetan was the mountain of the Nine Swastikas. Mount Kailas (The Swastika Mountain) in the Himalayas is a physical representation of this Holy Mountain, and sacred to Shiva. The curved form of the X-cross in the Old English document actually suggests the Four Sacred Rivers. The biblical name Eden is itself interesting since it has to relate to the Edel-Rune through its root-sound. The Edel-Rune, of course, is the Rune of Thule-Hyperborea and the Rune of At-al-land. 

It is also suggestive that both the Edel-Rune and the Gar-Rune can mean 'Gift of Ing' since the Gar-Rune is made up of the Gyfu-Rune and Ing-Rune (G-Ung-nr) and the Edel-Rune is a bind-rune of these two runes. This also suggests that Ingwe was a very important figure linked to both Thule and At-al-land. We are going way back into the ancient past here, and in doing so we should not overlook the name Tara used of the Sacred Centre of Ireland, and thus originally the Sacred Centre of the Arya. The name is used of a goddess in Tibet - Arya Tara - and also as the Manu-Tara which is a legend from the Americas. We should now look at the name 'Tara'. 

Tar - to pass through, to bore, to penetrate, to turn.

       - to lift, endure, suffer (also as Tal)

       - to tremble

These all suggest to me a link to Atlas who 'lifts' the world on his shoulders, and thus 'suffers' through his 'endurance'. He is the brother of Albion.

We can also break the name into -

Ta - to stretch

Ra - Egyptian Sun-God.

Arya Tara is a goddess known to the Tibetans, an 'enlightened being' in Buddhist terms; Arya is the Goddess of the Arya and certainly a valid god-name that can be used. She would go back into the distant times and land of Thule. 

One of the greatest mysteries of the Pyramids of Egypt is the missing capstone of the Great Pyramid; we use the word 'missing' but this could just have well never been there at all, and suggests that the apex of the Great Pyramid is symbolic of the lost land of Hyperborea-Thule. This would suggest that this was also symbolised by a pyramid which itself was symbolic of the Sacred Mountain  which was on the Sacred Island known as Scandi/Thule/Atala. This Sacred Island was divided into four parts, four squares, each a kingdom in itself, at the centre (Sacred Centre) of which was Arya-Tara which was the Sacred Centre or Ur-Centre and the original point of origins. 

In The Sacred Triangle of Pagan Iceland Einar Palsson gives a rather convincing argument that some of the legendary names in Ireland stem from Greek roots, for example he cites Niall as Nelius. These names went to Iceland through Irish monks that settled there, hence Nial's Saga etc. There are some who see the Greek legends and myths as coming from Egypt and there is reason to suggest that there may be some truth in this. We have to understand that Egypt has a far more ancient past than we can imagine. It has been said that Scota - who gave her name to the Scots - was an Egyptian Princess, though the word 'Scot' more likely stems from Aryan Root *scu or *sku which means 'to cut' or 'to cleave' and is the same root as *sak from which we get the name Saxon. But the Scots did come from the north of Ireland, and the Milesians from the area of Spain, or at least passed through Spain. Legends tell us that the Tuatha de Danaan came from the Far North, and this is a very ancient legend. 

The Sacred Mountain has its reflection beneath it as the 'roots of the mountain'; it extends below the Earth as well as rising into the heavens. Its 'reflection' extends below and thus symbolises the Inner Earth where the Gods dwell, and which is the Thule-Hyperborea-Agharti-Shambhalla of myth and legend. This 'Lost World' is thus symbolised by the Diamond-Crystal which shines its light on this world from the 'Other-World' which has been 'lost' to us, but which remains in the Memory of the Blood. 

'X marks the spot' has always been a common saying, and thus the Mark X must have been symbolic of something important in the past, maybe going back into very ancient times. According to our Sacred Runes X means a 'gift' and is associated with Gefion who is a goddess associated with the marking out of an area of land. From this I can deduce that the Mark X has always been used as the marking out of a land broken into Four Kingdoms - i.e. that this was the Ur-Mark associated with the Ur-Lands and the Sacred Island of the North. 

In the Spear of Woden (Summer Sunstead 2015 Edition) I showed how the Gyfu-Rune relates to the Legend of Lady Godiva whose real title is Godgifu and whose tale may have more importance than we can imagine. Godiva or Godgifu is the 'Bride-Goddess' and thus Freya who is wed to Ingwe-Frey. (Here, once more, we have a firm link to Ing and the Gift of Ing, and since the 'gift' has always been the 'bride' then this refers to the Goddess Freya.) I also showed how this 'Bride-Goddess' (Godgifu) was also found in the tale of the 'Fine Lady' who rode a White Horse and is associated with Banbury Cross. 

Now, I have shown long ago how Banbury Cross may well have marked the central point of England - the Sacred Centre of England. The name itself suggests this - beran byrig - since the word beran actually means 'to bear' and this suggests the Sacred Centre since the word skambha (from which we get Shambhalla) also means 'to bear' and relates to the Sacred Pillar. So we have the Bride-Goddess (Gefion-Freya) associated with the Sacred Centre of England, just as Tara was associated with the Sacred Centre of Ireland. It is also perhaps a 'coincidence' that Godiva was the wife of Leofric who was one of four important kings who ruled under King Canute. Here we have four kings (kingdoms) ruled by a High King (Canute). We should also note the name Banbury Cross which hints at a link to the Gyfu-Rune and the Mark X. Again - X marks the spot!

Yet another meaningful coincidence today when I was sent a number of links to web-pages that concerned a crop-formation that appeared at Ox Drove near to Bowerchalke in Wiltshire. This formation was a Black Sun - the same as that at Wewelsburg except that the outer ring was changed to break the reversed sig-runes into four sections of three runes, and there were four small circles in the outer ring as well as the larger circle at the centre. These four circles, if they were joined by straight lines, would make a X-Cross. This circle appeared yesterday which was when I first started this post - 8th August 2015. The date makes the number 8 - 8 - 8 (8/8/2015) which has to be significant! 

The name of the area, Bowerchalke, suggests a 'Chalk Chamber' since 'bower' means 'chamber' from the Old English bur. This may be a burial chamber that once existed in the area, or may still exist today. 

This was after I had a very strange and seemingly long dream last night, the contents of which I could not recall upon waking, except that it ended as I opened a door out of a Glass Pyramid that I was in - the dream content I could not remember but I knew that it had given me knowledge that would be revealed soon. It was so strange to see this crop-formation and its symbolism the next day -

• The Black Sun.
• The alterations which broke the symbol into four sections, each with three reversed Sig-Runes.
• The Central Circle and Four Outer Circles.
• The X-Cross made by the Four Outer Circles.
• The name of the area - OX DROVE.
• The numerology from the date - 8-8-8. The date was when this post was started.

What is even more strange is that the last piece I wrote yesterday was about Banbury, which is in Ox-ford-shire. The Ox is symbolised by the Ur-Rune and here we were talking about Thule-Hyperborea-Atland and the Place of Origins. 

Before I am ridiculed for believing in some 'supernatural' force creating these crop-formations, I would be the first to admit that some of them may well be hoax's, since there has been widely-publicised accounts of certain people set up to do these. But I have kept an open mind on the subject since the time over 20 years ago that I witnessed what could have been the type of force that can create 'crop-circles'. This happened in the mountains of Snowdonia in North Wales when I was taking a hike over to Druid's Circle above a place called Penmaenmawr. It was a clear still day, clear blue skies and no wind whatever; as we approached a small broken stone circle we heard what seemed to be a 'buzzing' sound (both my ex-wife and I heard this), which turned out to be the 'chattering' of leaves on a dead tree the other side of a dry stone wall (remember this was a still clear day). As we looked at this it seemed like a kind of vortex-wind swirling around the tree, and then it began to move in a straight line through the dry stone wall, reaching an area of long grass (found in wet areas) a mere couple of yards away from us. This vortex-wind instantly flattened the grass area into a circle! It then moved in a straight line, whisking up dust and dead grasses etc. and ending in the stone circle about twenty yards away. Both myself and my ex-wife could feel that this force was 'alive' and 'conscious' and it seemed to be 'watching' us. It is hard to relate this because it sounds so unbelievable to those who have never experienced such things. 

This was not in corn but in long grass, but the principle seems to be the same, and the grass was flattened in the same way as crop-formations and crop-circles. So I certainly feel - and know - that such formations can be done by some non-human force, since I have seen it with my own eyes. This was not the only time that I had witnessed the sound of 'buzzing' for it happened again in the same area, though on a road that led up the mountain and ended near to Druid's Circle. This happened in a grove of trees on another clear day with clear blue skies and no wind - but this time, although the day had been clear, just after this the skies went dark and a thunder-storm stopped us going up to the circle - which we took as an omen that what I was going to do needed to be done elsewhere. The 'buzzing' sound on both occasions was like the buzzing of a swarm of bees!

On August 11th 1999 there was a Solar Eclipse (Black Sun) and the Daily Mail clipping of this (which I have posted before) shows a central globe (Earth) with four planets in a Cross shape which may well relate to the Black Sun symbolism, since this is sometimes seen as a Zodiacal Symbol having 12 constellations around the Sun. (It should be noted that the usual 'zodiac' has been tilted so that Leo the Lion is at the northernmost point, otherwise the cross would be an X-Cross). 

Daily Mail Cutting - August 1999

I have gone through this on numerous occasions in publications, blogs and on our websites but I will go through it here to clarify some points -

• The Sun, Moon and Venus (The Morning Star) are seen in the House of Leo the Lion; in Norse Mythology this house seems to have been symbolised by a Dragon - the White Dragon.
• The 'Sign of the Son of Man' (the Ing-Rune) appears as the diamond-shape.
• In the aforementioned Crop-Circle of the Black Sun we find four divisions of three, and four small circles on the outer rim - this fits with the zodiacal signs and planetary conjunction shown here.
• This occurred on August 11th 1999 which was 16 years ago (8 + 8 = 16). This fulfilled prophesies that the Sun would 'turn black' (Solar Eclipse 8th August) and the 'hot stars fall from the skies' (Persied Meteor Shower 12th August). 

'When the Ice of the Darkest of Night melts away under the Fire of the Black Sun of the Inner Earth, the poison apple shall fall away, and the Sleeping Goddess shall awaken, throw off the White Wolf-Skin and arise renewed by the Golden Apples of the Immortals. When the Moon is under her feet and she is clothed in the Golden Sun, she shall bring forth the Divine Child of Light who will lead the English Folk in their Divine Mission against the Servants of Darkness.'

The Prophecy 88 - Wulf Ingessunu. (November 9th 2014).

This prophecy refers to the Black Sun of the Inner Earth and to the awakening of the Sleeping Goddess - Idunn - who is also named Isa or Isais (Isis in Greek Mythology). Her rune is the Is-Rune which is the Rune of Ice. (*)

(*) Many years ago I had a very vivid and spectacular dream of The Avatar immortalised in a Glass Dome, awaiting the time for his 'resurrection'. This fits with the theme of the Sleeping King which is here paralleled by this prophecy of the Sleeping Queen/Sleeping Goddess. This 'Sleeping-Goddess' is Idunn, also known as Arya, and she is the Soul of the Aryan Race and the Protector-Goddess of the Aryan Race. It is the Black Fire of the Black Sun that will awaken her, and here we have a Black Sun crop-formation in an area of England, around 10 miles from Stonehenge. 

'...from the other side he comes by Ilu's Hidden Sun

- then is the time.

In investigating the starry world,

look to the head of the bull. He brings the lance.

Weigher out of the star's measure:

From the head of Taurus to Aquarius.

Under the centre lies the Black Stone.'

Prophecy of Isais (reproduced from 'The Final Battalion' by the 55 Club).

Somewhere there is a thread that connects all of this together but as yet it has not been revealed - the time has not come to do so. The Black Sun crop-formation at Ox Drove has some significance and is a sign to us in this darkest hour - a Sign of Hope. 

Addition - August 10th 2015.

Last night I studied some of the stuff written about this crop-formation, most of which conveniently omits the fact that the symbol was used at the SS Ordenburg at Wewelsburg in the Old Saxon lands. A couple of the comments made were about the Lion presumably because August comes within the Constellation of Leo the Lion. There is also a connection between the Black Sun and August 17th though I will not go into details of this. 

The classical interpretation of the constellation that rules this period is the Lion, but I have shown before how the northern tradition could have seen this as ruled by a dragon and since the summer period is ruled by a White Dragon (we have the name 'Whitsun' which means 'White Sun' and is around the end of May but goes through the summer months) then we have the Black Sun in the House of the White Dragon - which was the same symbolism as the solar eclipse of August 11th 1999, and also very near to the same dating 16 years onwards. 

It is noticeable that 17th August 2015 would also be 8 - 8 - 8 (1 + 7 = 8, August is the 8th month, and 2015 adds to 8). It is then perhaps no coincidence that our next rite which we hold on August 17th each year has been altered this year from the 'Helgi Rite' to the 'Black Sun Rite'. This seems, to me, to confirm that this change is needed so we shall go on with this rite for this month. 

It should also be noted that at this time of the year the Constellation of Cygnus the Swan shows right above us here in England, and that this constellation links to the Long Man of Wilmington. At one level this rune is linked to Wid-Ar the Silent One - 'He Who Returns' - since this is the god who is 'resurrected' in order to avenge the 'death' of Woden at the hands of the Fenris Wolf. 

The Gar-Rune - The link between the Sacred Mountain/Glass Mountain and the Gar-Rune brings us to the concept that this rune is the Beginning and the End - The First and the Last since it works very much like The Fool of the Tarot Pack, coming outside the four sets of eight runes. This is the Spear of Woden or 'Sacred Lance' that is symbolic of the Cosmic Axis. As the Beginning and the End - The First and the Last this relates to the god-force (Avatar) that appears at the end of a world-age or cycle, and is 'resurrected' at the beginning of a new world-age or cycle. This is the god we know as Wid-Ar who is the archetype of The Hooded Man or The Divine Fool (Parsifal). As the rune outside the 32 rune-rows this must be numbered '0' which would be The Void, which itself hints at The Black Sun. 

Here in England the Glass Mountain is symbolised by Glastonbury - Glas-ton-burg in Somerset. This is a holy hill on top of which is a small disused chapel dedicated to 'St. Michael' who is a dragon-slayer, wielding a spear to slay the Dragon of Darkness. But this area is also associated with the Wild Hunt, if we are to believe the 'Celtic' legends of the area. Here we need caution though since the 'Celtic' name Ynys Witrin ('Island of Glass') was a very late edition and does not reflect the original name. It is thus just as likely that the 'Celtic' legend was also added much later, since the whole area was appropriated by the monks of Glastonbury, the legend of King Arthur added to it, and this was used to destroy the English Tradition by the Normans under William the Bastard and those who followed him - the true Saxon Kings and AEthlingas being replaced by the Norman-French-Breton lords. 

That Glastonbury was chosen as the place where Christianity first got a hold here would not be surprising in view of its sacred nature as symbolic of the Sacred Mountain. As a former island, surrounded by water, it would have suggested the White Island which was the Ur-Land of our Folk. But since the Wild Army was sometimes said to ride out of a hill or mountain, the Welsh addition could have been merely added to an original Germanic Legend of this sacred hill, so we should not dismiss it. If so then the area would once have been associated with Woden as the Hunter-God. 

The top of the Sacred Mountain of the North was said to be a Diamond-Crystal or Glass Pyramid which shines its light around the worlds. This, in some eastern legends, is the Light of Shambhalla which is a kingdom within the Inner Earth, i.e. exists in a different dimension of time and space. In some old Celtic tongues the word gar means 'stone' and we can see here a link to the Gral-Stone. The Gar-Rune is one of the Graal Runes and represents the spear, coming after the Stan-Rune which is the stone. 

The above shows another crop-formation of the Black Sun which appeared in 2014 in England. This is a variation, but the overall symbolism seems quite sound in that the 'Lightning-Bolts' point inwards suggesting implosion which fits with the Aryan Science symbolised by the Black Sun. 

I have mentioned the Gift of Ing many times here and elsewhere and I feel that we need to clarify this here. Our word 'fire' refers to the physical element of fire whereas the term we use - Inga - refers to the force or energy behind the physical element of fire. This would stem from the Root-sound *ng which invokes this force or energy and should be seen as a kind of 'mantra' or 'galdor' for this use. Inga, as Hamasson has pointed out, is the reflection of Agni who is a Fire-God of the Aryans. From his name we get our word 'ignite' related to the lighting of a fire, also the Latin igneous meaning 'fiery'. If we now relate this to the Spiritual Centre represented by the Spear of Woden and the Sacred Mountain (Gar-Rune) then this has to be the origins of the Central Force that we symbolise by the Black Sun.

The word 'pyramid' (as I have shown before) comes from pyra = fire, and mid = centre/middle, thus Fire in the Middle. Here we have a clear indication that the Sacred Mountain - symbolised by the Sacred Pyramid - relates to the force or energy of the Inga-Fire invoked by the Root-sound *ng and represented by the god known as Ing or Ingwe. He is the Lord of the Elves or the Shining Ones whose name suggests 'light' and thus a force of energy or 'fire'. In Wodenic Lore we have entered the Age of Ing and thus the Age of the Inga-Fire. 

If the Root-sound *mr refers to the 3:4:5 Triangle, or more precisely the side '4' which would be the line from the centre of the pyramid base to the apex, then  this would be the 'central axis' or the 'pillar' (skambha). Einar Palsson ('The Sacred Triangle of Pagan Iceland') related this to the 'Mother' which is 'matter' (symbolised by the Number 4 in most cultures). Side 3 is the 'Father' (Spirit) and Side 5 is the 'Son' or offspring (i.e. Ing). This line is thus The Measurer and here I am reminded of the Old English Metod who seems to relate to one of the Norns or Wyrd Sisters - 'The Mother'. We have a simple formula here related to Pythagoras' Theorum - 

'The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.'

Thus - The Sun (5 x 5 = 25) is equal to the Mother (4 x 4 = 16) plus the Father (3 x 3 = 9); or the Sun is made up of Matter (The Mother) and Spirit (The Father). Thus Wid-Ar is the son of Frigga (Earth Mother = Matter) and Woden (Spirit). The number of 'The Son' is 5 or its extension - 5, 55, 555. (The name Wid-Ar, using English Gematria - A = 1, B = 2, C = 3 etc.  - adds to 55.) 

If we see the human body as the microcosm and relate this to these ideas then the central point (navel) could be seen as the Central Pillar (Omphalos = Om-Phallus) which itself is linked to the Solar-Phallic God - Ingwe-Frey. This is the Hara-Centre and the Ur-Source or Or-igin - the Source of the Inga-Fire which is linked to the Black Sun or Hidden Sun. This is also linked to Woden as The Serpent at the base of the Sacred Mountain (Knit Mountain) - the serpent being a phallic-symbol in many cultures. 

The Spear of Woden ('Gift of Ing') is symbolic of the World Pillar or Cosmic Pillar which is made clear when we note that the word 'spear' comes from a root meaning 'beam', which itself relates to a pillar that holds something up. We can find this symbolism in the legend of Cuthman -

Here 'Cuthman' can be seen holding a pillar or beam which is to be the central beam of the church dedicated to him. His 'garters' make up the Anglo-Saxon Ing-Rune as shown here. We can deduce that Ingwe-Frey was connected to the 'pillar' or Sacred Centre. As I have shown before, on the Holy White Stone of Ing the message is - 'Gift of Ing' (Gyfu-Ing runes) which is 'Fire' (Ken-Rune) -

This stone reads from the bottom (Gyfu) to the top (Ing) and is found at Steyning ('Stone of Ing') in West Sussex. The Ken-Rune is the Y-shaped version, the 'crosspiece' being added at a later time, presumably to 'Christianise' the stone of heathen origins. This stone itself would represent a standing pillar which would represent the Holy Mountain - Om-phallus at the Centre of the World. 

Referring back to 'The Sacred Triangle of Pagan Iceland' Einar Palsson mentions 'sixteen wounds' of the 'God of Grain' which is Osiris (Egypt) or Ingwe-Frey (Norse), as well as being the Krist in his true form. The line of the hypotenuse of the 3:4:5 triangle is thus extended to 6 to account for the '16 wounds' of the 'God of Grain. In 'Njall's Saga' the 'God of Grain' is represented by Hoskuldr Hvitanesgothi who is slain by 5 killers whilst he is sowing in a field dressed in a scarlet robe. There are two people named Hoskuldr in the saga, one as named above (Gothi of White Ness) and the other a 'Hidden Son' of Niall who dies of the 16 wounds. It is strange that 16 years after the appearance of the 'Sign of the Son of Man' this Black Sun symbol would appear. 

These mysteries are as yet only partly revealed so this is not the end of this work; there are many things as yet to come to light regarding the Sacred Mountain and the Black Sun.
