The Ancient Runes of England.

Although I have not read this work - Stonehenge Sacred Symbols by Neil L. Thomas - this post uses the reviews shown for the book, so I am only going on these rather than an actual knowledge of this work. It would seem that this professor from Australia toured the ancient sites of Britain to look for the history of his Celtic ancestors, but found a pre-Celtic civilisation that must surely relate back to the time when this was part of the North-West continent of Atalland. Our interest in some of the numbers he found and the measurements - again taken from the reviews.

He regards Avebury Stone Circle as once having 99 stones, broken into the formula 33 x 3; he then goes on to see the Long Man of Wilmington as being 33 faethms (fathoms) in length. The measurements of the Long Man, in another review, are -

33 Megalithic Rods (a MR being 2.073 metres).

The height of the Long Man multiplied by 33 = a Megalithic Mile.

This is why I have chosen to put this post on the Ar-Kan Rune-Lag blog since the number 33 is that of our own Rune-Row. Since it has always been my contention that the 33 runes were used here in England in ancient times, and we have used the term Runes of Attaland, this fits with this idea again. It was Marby who also saw the 33-runes as being the Runes of Atlantis and that this referred to the continent in the North Sea. 

I have equated the Hindu Mount Meru with the idea of the human Spinal Column which has 33 segments including the 5-4 fused segments of the Sacrum-Coccyx. The 24 runes seem to link to the 24 segments, and the extra 9 with the fused sections at the base of the spine. This would suggest that the runes are read from top to bottom which fits in with Miguel Serrano's idea that the usual base-to-head sequence is reversed in our system.

Me-Ru - MR - I have noted in another post how this relates to a measuring rod and we can thus surmise that the spinal column (Irminsul-Yggdrasil) is also a measuring rod, based upon the Number 33. It is also interesting to note that the author, Neil L. Thomas, sees the Long Man as the 'Dod-Man' with his twin measuring-rods. He is not the first to equate the figure with the Dod-Man which was done by Alfred Watkins who coined the termed 'Ley-Lines'.That the original figure of the Long Man held two spears does not negate this argument, for the Spear of Woden equates with the Sacred Centre and the Cosmic Axis and thus back to the Spinal Column in man. 

We also have the rather odd fact that the Old English Rune-Row contains the Four Hallows or Gral-Runes, again which must have come from very ancient times. What many scholars seem to be missing is that putting a lot of these 'odd facts' together brings the conclusion that the English go back into the Megalithic era - and it is now known that parts of Stonehenge were built by the people from Jutland.

In regard to the era of which we speak here - the so-called 'Megalithic Era' - this seems to relate back to a time when 'Giants' (I am not talking of 'Jotun' here) walked the Earth. We seem to have an account of these in the Old Testament and also in the Book of Enoch where the Watchers or Angels lusted after the 'daughters of men' and took them as wives. From this appeared what are called 'Giants' but which are originally Nephilim in Hebrew, and which were also referred to as the Sons of Anak. These were men of a particularly tall stature who were said to have built the massive stone structures all over the world. These may equate to the Shemsu Heru or 'Followers of Horus' who were seen as a kind of Master Race that ruled the Egyptians. This Master Race would appear to be the Sons of Anak who ruled over many different cultures and peoples - which goes some way to explaining the links between ancient cultures world-wide, and also some way to explaining why modern scholars tend to be wrong in their assertions of who built these advanced structures - they would have stemmed from the same Ruling Elite.

One of the last remaining 'Giants' may have been the aptly-named King Og  who was an Ammonite and King of Bashan. At a battle in the kingdom of Bashan, Edrei, King Og and his Ammonites were slaughtered man, woman and child in an act of total genocide by the famous Israelite - Moses (see Numbers 21:33-35). According to Arab tradition these people - the Ammorites - were said to be connected with a megalithic culture found in Palestine, Lebanon, and Jordan.

In a fragment called The Book of Giants which itself was part of the Book of Enoch found amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls we are told that these 'Giants' fell from grace through their scientific experiments on animals and humans which produced mutants and monsters, and they caused 'great corruption' on the Earth. It appears that a 'Giant' named Gilgamesh tried to stand against the heavenly powers (Gods) but realise the futility of his actions, and for these actions the Gods brought the Great Flood upon the Earth and destroyed these 'Giants'. This is the sinking of Atlantis, which has the same kind of end, a Great Flood brought on by the misuse of power by a once advanced race - as our people were once far more advanced and have sunk to the pitiful state we see today - together with the corruption of the Earth, animal experiments, and human experiments and a host of other ills that these peoples also imposed upon the Earth.

We could mention here that the highest degree of Freemasonry is that of the 33rd Degree; we must understand that Freemasonry seems to have sprung from an ancient tradition, and like all things has been distorted and used against our Folk. Through Masonry we find that their rituals may contain an ancient tradition about the Resurrection of the Soul which occurs at the rising of Venus - the Morning Star - and which leads to Immortality

I have taken this idea from Uriel's Machine written by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas, both connected to Freemasonry. This is an interesting quote from the book -

The 'wands' are the measuring rods that the Canaanites and first Jews called asherah; named after the goddess who was the mother of the dawn and the dusk. As with the gigantic prehistoric carving of the chalk man at Wilmington in Sussex, the purpose of these asherah is to determine the angles of the sunrise and sunset indicated by the shadows cast from the vertical staffs.'

This piece is of interest because although I cannot now supply the source, there is a written piece by a Sussex priest who stated that when the Sun rises at certain times of the year (Spring Equinox/Autumn Equinox) the light runs up or down the two staffs of the hill-figure. This fits exactly to what is stated here, so I cannot tell whether these people had access to this work or whether the knowledge was found separately. It is also significant to note that the 'measuring-rods' were called after the Goddess of the Morning Star - Eostra in our own lore, also known as Freya of the Waene (Venus). She is also known as Idunn and her Twelve Apples of Immortality are the Crown of Twelve Stars known as the Corona.

The Long Man is shaped as the Ear-Rune and Cweorth-Rune, and the prefix Ear can be found on Earendel which seems to have been a term used by the English for the Morning Star. We have also noted in past articles that the planet Venus was in the House of the White Dragon, together with the Sun and the Moon, on August 11th 1999 at the time of the Solar Eclipse. Venus is associated with birth and with resurrection and this seems to have formed part of Masonic ritual, and is why the light of this planet is important in the layout of such megalithic structures as Newgrange in Ireland. Earendel is Ear-Waendel which is the figure of the Long Man of Wilmington. Venus is a 'double-star' of male and female, according to Miguel Serrano. The symbol for this double-star is twin sig-runes (SS).

If we read into these ideas we find that an ancient Race of Light maintained their immortality through a cycle of resurrections under the Light of the Morning Star - which is what Miguel Serrano tells us, though maybe in a slightly different way. This is the Enlightened Beings we have seen as Tulka (Tibet), Avatar (Hindu) or Boddhisattva (Buddhism). I have mentioned Newgrange, and this has an association with a figure called AEnghus or Angus, a name which has the same roots as Ingwe or Ingui.Newgrange has always been associated with the Tuatha de Danaan - Tribe of Danu. The name 'Danu' could be equated with Idunn and it seems that Newgrange is associated with the Morning Star. The Tuatha de Danaan were called the Lords of Light.

It is around 9 months from the Spring Equinox to the Winter Sunwend, near to the period of human gestation. It is quite possible, indeed highly likely, that the ancient rituals that have been recorded in many different traditions, hint of a spring ritual, under the influence of the Goddess of the Morning Star, was used to resurrect the soul of the King-Ruler of a tribe into a new King-Ruler, born at the Winter Sunwend. The figure of 'Jesus' and that of 'John the Baptist' may also contain hints of the same theme -

1. The Krist is conceived on the Spring Equinox, and born at the Winter Sunstead.

2. He dies on the Spring Equinox, and is 'resurrected' at the first full moon after - Easter. Thus, he dies on the same day as he was conceived.

3. John the Baptist is conceived at the Autumn Equinox, and born at the Summer Sunstead.

It seems that a traditional unit of length known as the gaz was used as late as the Nineteenth Century in north-west India, and the British Government standardised it as 33 inches. It was also found that the Indus inches of the Indus civilisation at Mohenjo-daro totalled exactly 33 inches. The Indian gaz was very near to the measurement of the Megalithic Yard.

Of course, none of this actually proves that the 33-rune row was used here in England in very ancient times. But it goes some way to show that the extra Gral-Runes may not have been 'borrowings' as some suggest, but may already have been part of this system used by the Frisians and Saxons. The Ear-Rune/Cweorth-Rune may represent the idea of 'measurement' as the shape of the 'Dod-Man'. 


What has distorted our idea of ancient history is the false claim that the Celtic Druids built these great monuments, whereas the truth is more in line with their being built by a people called the Hyperboreans from whom descended the Germanic Folk and Germano-Celts. These were either the 'Giants' or their descendants. It would seem that this ancient Solar Race were a highly advanced people with a highly advanced civilisation, but some of them abused their power and corrupted the Earth and threatened its destruction - for which the Gods destroyed most of them in a Great Flood. The remnants were scattered and tried to rebuild their ancient civilisation but many of them, like the Ammonites, were destroyed or scattered again. The 33 rune-row may have been a vestige of the pre-flood civilisation, or was created in order to save the ancient wisdom after this flood.
