Some Video Links

Links to Video Interviews & Conversations

The first video I would like to share is elder Philip Deere (Muskogee/Creek) who was spiritual leader of american Indian Movement.  This video was interviewed in Mashpee, MA.  Probably late 1970's/early 80's:

The next video features Australian musician, astro-theology and synchretism expert Santos Bonacci interviewing Jaga Jaga, the law and lore man of Yarra valley Waa-Warung tribe in Australia.  Some food for thought:

A prayer seat.  Not sure how old it is (could be old) but these are very nicely selected stones and well put together, whoever constructed it was an expert in this tradition:

Another cairn/ stone mound:

Stone Mound - Holliston, MA.

Stone Mound- Holliston MA.

This is in an area that features alot of old stone-works.  Today this stone mound is on the edge of the woods by a new housing development that went up 15 years or so ago.  Some of the trees growing up around the mound are much older than 15-20 years old.  

Anyway, check it out:

A nice rounded stone at the center top:

Comparing 3 Different Sized Standing Stones In Holliston MA.

Comparing Features Of 4 Standing Stones Of 3 Different Sizes In Holliston, MA.

The purpose of this post is to cross-examine the workmanship of 4 different standing stones (one of which is more like a worked out boulder) of 3 different sizes, all located in the town of Holliston, MA.  These stones are all in a 1.5 - 2 mile radius of each other, although one would think the distance was greater if travelling by car (not knowing how to go through the woods to "cut" the distance down.)  Although all four stones are unique, and uniquely situated in comparison to other stone works, the way they were marked-out shows a common feature.  

First up are the 2 larger stones.  

Standing Stone #1.  This first one is a classic "Standing Stone" shape:

Notice from this angle how it has been worked out "around the neck" area:

Okay, I thought I would throw that one in as it is sort of conducive with the point I am trying to get across.  But the next 3 are the prime examples.

Standing Stone #2 (more like a worked out boulder) also of a large size.  The feature I want to show off is that the stone has been worked out towards the top, sort of like how the last one was.  Here you can see the diagonal line/angle and also how the top was worked out:

A close-up of the top of stone;

Okay, now for our medium sized Standing Stone.  This Standing Stone is incorporated into a stone ring by the entrance of the stone mound.  Note how here too, the top of the stone is worked-out with the diagonal line cut/motiff and the top has been worked out:

A close-up.  Do you see how this standing stone resembles in design the last 2 worked out boulders/ standing stones.  There is a pattern here:

And now the last Standing Stone, the smaller size.  Again, the top has been worked out and we see again the diagonal line angle/motiff:

From a different angle:

Obviously, this symbolism meant something.  Indigenous cultures always combine their sciences, spirituality, astrology, and community way of life together into one discipline, unlike modern people who segregate everything because they have been indoctrinated to do so.  This is obviously what we are seeing with these stone structures- there is not just one meaning in a single stone but many reasons for the stones to be the way they are.  Although these stones are uniquely different (not "uniform" or "cookie cutter") they show off the same workmanship and expressive ideas in these 4 different stones of 3 different sizes, from large to short, whether they were close to a perched boulder, part of a design element of a stone mound, standing alone or nearby to a cairn field. 

Unique Megalithic Chamber W/ Standing Stones- Thompson, CT.

Unique Chamber W/ Standing Stones On Roof- Thompson CT.

Took another field trip to Thompson CT. with a friend to locate this chamber as well as other stoneworks which I will post up at a later date.  The chamber featured in this post is unique in that the roof of the structure has 3 Standing Stones on top of it, erected in a triangle alignment.  The roof and standing stones overlook a river valley.  This Chamber is located on a homeowner's private property and permission was obtained to look at it.  Check it out:

The entrance.  Note how the other stones were worked around the boulder on the ground:

Wow:

A view from the inside:

Showing off the roof slabs that weigh many, many tons.  This is a trademark of the ancient megalithic chambers, indicating its deep antiquity.  If this was a colonial root cellar (and I have seen colonial root cellars before of which this chamber is not) than 1) there would be smaller stones in place of these larger, more enigmatic roof slabs; 2) All the stones, including by the entrance would be more "uniform" in shape and size- instead we see natural selection at these ancient sites working around the pre-existing features of the site and 3) Colonists don't explain the Standing Stones on the roof of this Chamber, but pre-colonial/ ancient culture does explain the Standing Stones. 4) With colonial root cellars there is evidence of colonial stone quarrying techniques.  There is no such colonial quarrying evidence at these older megalithic chambers, such as the one featured in this post.  I figured I would state some of these points for anyone viewing this post who hasn't done their proper research.  Now, let's get back to the beauty of this stone structure.

So, here are the roof slabs:  

Outside the Chamber, an interesting stone-work, part of a wall connecting these boulders.  I have seen identical work to this in Milford, MA:

The Standing Stones.  I tried getting a shot of all 3 in 1 pic, but there was too much new growth and shrub in the way:

Holliston, MA. Stone Mounds

Some interesting stone mounds in the Holliston woods.  In this stone mound #1, the top left stone caught my attention as being special:

A close-up of the special stone.  We can see that this is the profile of a face with a well-defined forehead, eye, nose mouth and chin:

Here I am crouching down at a slightly different angle so we can get a better picture of this stone:
