DOWNLOAD EBOOKIRISH SYMBOLS tells how the riddle of thirty or so symbols at Ireland's Knowth, Newgrange, Fourknocks mounds, at Loughcrew stone circle and other ancient sites in the Boyne valley have at last been deciphered. Stone inscriptions tell of mankinds? prehistoric concept of the world; the earth's flat plain with the Sun and Moon circling inside an overhead hemispherical bowl sky sprinkled with stars.The Boyne valley symbols tell of a Sun calendar, five day weeks, four weeks a month, sixteen months a year of 365 days. Eight annual seasonal events; the solstice and the equinox with four quarter days were an integral part and cornerstones of the Sun calendar. A Moon calendar of five day weeks, six weeks a month, twelve months a year of 354 nights was in use. Welsh and Irish evidences from 4270 BC, 3500 BC and 3200 BC were succeeded by third millennium English calendar building at Stonehenge about 2500 BC. Mankind's oldest calendars in history are the Rhondda Calendar, a first evidence of writing in human history found in Wales, Ireland's Boyne Valley symbols, millennia before Middle East civilizations. The sea-linked peoples of the north-west observed Sun and Moon calendars for four thousand years until Roman times.The legends and myths of Ireland are directly related to the stone engravings. Symbolic numbers such as five, nine, eleven, twenty-seven and thirty-three have continuity through the stories, numbers had important symbolism as well as value. Thirty-three symbolism is a feature of four major religions in today's world. ISBN 978-0-646-96029-2

DOWNLOAD EBOOK72: Celestial Logbooks of the Gold and Copper Invaders describes the bright celestial objects that were used for calendars and navigation for the last 10,000 years. This required counting and measuring angles which the prehistory and even pre-Ice Age cultures knew. This enabled these cultures to hunt, gather, and explore by boat looking for precious metals to sustain their cultures. Initial editorial reviews: "WOW, Magnificent, Beyond Significant." Jim Egan, Curator, Newport Tower Museum: "Brilliant out of the box thinking." A past Kirkus Review stated: "...McMahon's reasoning is far from far-fetched... with an elegantly simple process of following history's clues...the ancient rock art symbols of seafaring communication." Lonnie Davis, Curator Historian, Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park, "Eye-opening .... The blinders finally came off!" The following bright celestial objects are described and analyzed: Sun: circles, rectangles, diamonds, spirals, and solstice latitudes Moon: crescents, circles, rectangles, and lunar standstill latitudes Venus (72): hearts, rectangles, pentagons, and relative longitudes Sirius and Canopus: the eyes as pointer stars to the North and South Pole stars North Pole stars: Polaris, Thuban, Vega, and Deneb as the golden 30° rectangle Winter Triangle: Orion, the hunter, and his dogs, the equilateral triangle Summer Navigation Triangle: Northern Cross as passageways and chronometers Golden Location Triangle: Libra, le Balance, what is shipped is received The celestial object's geometries were built into a culture's mound and temple structures becoming celestial observatories. These were sacred because they represented information concerning the locations of mines, storage facilities, harbors, temples, and "home." Geometric diffusionism came from the westward-bound seafaring explorers with their roots coming from the Fertile Crescent. Celestial counting and geometries form a universal calendar and navigation language. The rock art shows the actual relative latitudes to the Sun solstices and Venus-based relative longitudes to a prime starting location of island locations (stargates) that were associated with the seafaring trips in search of gold and copper.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"The sky was our original calendar, our original storybook, the first illustrated edition, the prototype GPS. Beyond its pragmatic usefulness, the sky was the domain of spirit, traversed by deities and a place to which human souls departed. Let's re-enchant it, shall we?"–Renna Shesso Impeccably researched by one of the most eclectic pagan scholars working today, this book aims to reengage our fascination with the planets and stars. Shesso looks at the mythology, legend, science and lore about the planets and most significant stars in a chapter-by-chapter format. Included are nearly 150 diagrams and illustrations—of the heavens, astrological views, depictions of gods and goddesses, sky totems, Tarot symbols, star charts, and more. Anyone with even a vaguely pagan bent, anyone with a reverence for the natural world, who has ever marveled at the night sky will love this enchanted view of the planets and stars.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKProbably the oldest known spiritual discipline, shamanism is the timeless art of living in harmony with creation, providing a universal system to work with today, whatever our religion or spiritual affiliation may be. A reflection of a living tradition with a supremely practical approach to life, it teaches skills for living and ways to utilize latent abilities which we all possess. Celtic Shamanism derives from the native traditions of North-West Europe. The shamanic contribution of the Celts and their predecessors has been overlooked until recently, and is one of the last shamanic traditions to be explored. While it shares common elements with American, Australian and Siberian teachings, it derives entirely from Celtic source material. The Celtic Shaman offers a varied and easily followed plan of self-tuition for anyone interested in Celtic mythology and the Western mysteries.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this seminal archaeoastronomy text, symbologist Donald J. McMahon unveils astounding revelations about the nature of the invaders of Ireland and the scope of seafaring trade in the ancient world. Combining his expertise in symbology with a passion for mathematics and geometry, a fascination with sailing and celestial navigation, and a lifetime of experience working in metal processing and raw material management, McMahon is uniquely qualified to recognize visual and cultural patterns that have remained undiscovered for five thousand years. In painstaking detail, the book centers on the curbstones and mounds of Ireland, examining the questions of what, where, who, why, and how ancient seafarers came and went from the Emerald Isle. It goes further, pursuing Ireland's relationship to the development of the great dynasties of the Nile Valley and their need for metals, particularly gold and copper. McMahon pays tribute to the achievements of ancient peoples who looked to the celestial bodies to chart their world. Replete with figures and diagrams, the book illustrates how the Egyptian ankh, pillar, and staff were actually navigational instruments, how megalithic constructions served as maps, and how the enigmatic Irish symbols contained tightly held trade secrets. This groundbreaking work opens new doors in the worlds of antiquarianism, archaeology, and cultural anthropology.
