In the Marian Fields
of South Oxfordshire
Part 2
A five part, true and intriguing tale of beauty and her continuing triumph over evil.
So, anyway, there I am in the middle of as much as nowhere as Oxfordshire can offer, with a voice telling me that sinister goings on are disrupting the crop circle season; and this is just after I've had a crop circle flash above an immature wheat field. It seems decidedly loopy I'm sure, but I'm equally certain that this kind of thing happens to lots of you who are reading this. For me these psychic phenomena occur so frequently in my life that I just accept them and forget how extraordinary they are, or rather they appear to be. They aren't they are entirely natural to human beings; we just have to remind ourselves of our innate perceptive abilities and that the more we notice the unusual the less it will become so.Now this message...the impression I got was that whatever it was that was happening up on the hill was intentional; purposely contrived to subdue the streams of energies that flowed through the hill occupied by St Mary's Church, a vibrant throne of our Goddess. The pictures, the visions, they were of the church tower cloven in scaffolding and corrugated iron hoarding and with bits of stone and debris strewn around. It had to, I reasoned, have something to do with this. I felt a great sadness, a wailing from her heart. The princess was locked in the tower; she needed to let down her hair. I determined to visit the church the very next morning; Sunday morning, the 11th June, as it turned out. The 11th June 2006 is a mirrored numerological sequence giving 11-6 (11 June - 6th month and 11-6 or 2 and 6). Within these numbers are 11, the number of inspiration and cooperation; nullification and separation are the reverse meanings. There are also 6s, which accord to love, healing and care; to entrapment, containment, despair and sacrifice negatively. (Number 6 
has been a pervading theme this year in crop circles.) The combined total of the numbers 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 equals 16 (1 + 1 = 2), which is the number of the Tarot's Tower card. (7) This Tarot refers to sudden and urgent inspiration, enlightenment, psychic messages, angels, and describes the destruction of ego, authoritarianism, deceit and subterfuge. It brings the subsequent healing of the earth and its inhabitants. It is the direct influence of the Creator wrought by the Goddess. But it can also refer to the terrible influences of the Darkness. Every number has both a light and a dark side. If you look, you'll see 16 battlements on towers all over the place. I have only just considered the numbers of this date, and they are so astonishingly appropriate. Mysterious ways.
So, fronting up at the gates of the church are a pair of dowsing rods, a map, a compass, and a camera, all attached to yours truly clutching a few little gifts for the Goddess, three pink rose buds and some apple juice - which I thought we could share. (I didn't think she'd mind if I gave the top a quick wipe after I'd taken a swig.) It was a beautiful, bright and sunny morning, birds were singing in the branches, larks hovered over the fields and a church service was in progress. The gusty song from the congregation burst out through the open church door; it was so uplifting that even the angels stopped to listen. Ah, the Isles, these Blessed Lands, my heart is here.If you have read, “The Sun and the Serpent’, the story of Paul Broadhurst’s and Hamish Miller’s epic chase across England following a couple of bent rods and two ley lines you will know that St Mary’s attracts the attention of the St Michael line. (8) The two energy streams, dubbed the St Michael and the St Mary ley lines intertwine and meet in several key places; one of which is on Sinodun Hill, which is clearly visible from St Mary’s Church; and what a spectacular sight Sinodun and its partner Round Hill make!. Jointlyknown as ‘Wittenham Clumps’ they resemble two giant breasts. Perhaps Garsington Hill (meaning grassy hill) is her vulva, the mound of Venus? Intuitively, I know this is so. The Ancients compared landscape features with the human form as well as animals, birds, vegetation and the cosmos. Britain also has several zodiacs set into her green and pleasant land in such places as the Lizard and Bodmin Moor (Cornwall), Ffarmers in Wales, Glastonbury, Althorp Park, Kingston-on-Thames, near Birch in Essex, Cambridge and Hebden Bridge. (9) Several crop circles have appeared along a direct alignment from St Mary’s to Wittenham, though not this year, so far anyway. Oddly they do not reach to Wittenham, at least I haven’t heard of them doing so. It just might mean that the formations around Garsington and the Baldons are strictly to do with fertilisation and gestation.
Last year, in 2005, two beautiful, swept grass formations were discovered on the alignment just below her in a field known as the Spittle Fields. (10) (In 2004 a dragon design that looked a bit like a duck nested under a pair of oak trees in the field below, and on the same alignment.) (11) The name 'Spittle' derives from Hospitaller, The Knights Hospitallers, who were given much of the Knights Templar properties after they were seized. The Templars had a major Preceptory a couple of miles west, in what today is called Temple Cowley. Around this centre they owned vast tracts of land which 
included parts of Sandford, Littlemore, Cowley, Cowley St John, Iffley, Cuddesdon, Wheatley, Horspath, Rose Hill, Kennington, Radley and Garsington as well as much further afield. The Templars were not dolts. Through their forays into the ‘Holy Lands’ and their acquiring of secret knowledge by way of trading, conquests, allegiances, explorations and connections they gathered immense wealth and knowledge. We are told that it was the material wealth that Philip IV (the Fair) of France and the Church lusted after but their mystical knowledge was far more attractive, its potential for riches far greater, although an extra few bob never goes amiss of course.
When you travel around Britain I advise you to take notice of the names of public houses, as well as those of the churches. They will usually give hints to the mystical connections of their locations. In recent times shopping centres are also indicators. This could be to do with the very strong Freemasonic links councils and architects have. In the aforementioned Temple Cowley the names of the roads have Templar associations; names such as St. Omer, Beauchamp, Temple, Bailey and Boswell spring to mind. As is the way of secret societies everywhere and in all ages, the obvious explanations are very often hiding the true agenda though. You’ll find more recent notables’ names and events camouflaging the real reason for instilling the frequency held by that name in that place. Sometimes they can afford to be honest about it, just a historical figure don’t you know! Temple Cowley is, no doubt in my mind at all, an ancient centre of Goddess worship, and was long before the ‘The Order of Poor Fellow Soldiers of Christ and the Temple of Solomon’ came along.
The shopping centre here is called ‘Templar Square’ but the hub of the hill, on which Temple Cowley pivots, is dominated by St Luke’s Church (now decommissioned). Within its grounds is a copy of a labyrinth that was trod by initiates into the Templar mysteries. Luke means light and is a male counterpart moniker for Venus (or St. Mary to Christians).
‘Original Swan’ public house. Swans are connected symbolically to Venus, companions of the Goddess. Travel a little further and you hit the site of the famous car factory started by William Morris, later elevated to Lord Nuffield. (St Luke’s Church was built in 1938 with lucre provided by Morris.) (12) Their famous car, the Bullnose Morris more likely related not to the shape of the car’s hooter but to the constellation Taurus, the sign ruled over by Venus, and which has considerable relevance to the famous university town down the hill, Oxford; where William Morris first began. (13) Morris came from a family steeped in Freemasonry. Eh, it’s a fascinating story the part that Oxford is designed to play in the coming New Age. If you want to know more, it’s in my new book, ‘In These Signs Conquer’, which has just been published by Hidden Mysteries in the U.S.
