…It is easy to say, certainly,
but less easy to say what
is, in fact, happening with such changes in form.

New Grange Gnomon-Stone.

Rudolf Steiner talked a lot about
changes in the nature of consciousness over the ages
and this has more than a mere ring of truth to it.

It is linked to the ‘bear-shirt’
which gives us, berserkers, and also
to the were-wolf as well!
*
In the Scandinavian folk record
such ‘shape-shifting’ abilities
are linked to certain royal bloodlines.

It may also have something to do with
animal totems and clans?
*
It may even have something
to do with the stars?

Koo Kullin, who, it turns out, is pretty much
the hero of our epic tale, possessed
the ability to go, what one early commentator
called, ‘warp-spasm’ during a fight.

…The wolf-shape on him then;
his jaw stretched to each ear ’til
the red of his gullet showed and
his lips drew back over his eye-teeth;

then the other widened like a goblet-mouth;
his hair stood erect to the nape of his neck
and the hero-light rose around his head.

Somewhat surprisingly, perhaps,
there are aspects of this
description which match
in minute detail our Sheela-na-Gigs.
*
As most of the Sheela’s are bald
we refer here to the description of
the mouth and also to that of the eyes.

Manannan mac Lir
the Irish seafarer for whom
the Isle of Man is named
has a magic cloak which he uses
to prevent people ever again meeting.

This, though, is probably
just a euphemism for death.

If the Boyne were the outline
of a woman’s body,
Dowth would be situated at the throat centre,
Knowth would be at the sacral centre,
whilst New Grange would be the womb of the ‘bump’,
or the ‘bend’ in the river.
*
There is even another earth-work shown,
on the map below, where the navel would be!

Is this fanciful?

Undoubtedly, yet such a scheme
aligns well with the mythology still associated
with these sites.

Looks like a great place to meditate.
