Britain with the Belinus
Line and the St. Michael Line
I believe the Belinus
line shares many similarities with the Michael line. This was
first visualized by John Michell as an alignment east/west across
Britain connecting many ancient sites such as hilltop shrines to St.
Michael, stone circles and churches built on pre-Christian sites. The
Michael alignment takes in the longest part of Britain east/west and
the Belinus line takes in the longest part of Britain north/south
avoiding the sea. Some of the important sites that connect with the line
are:
St.
Catherine's Hill Winchester
Uffington
Rollright stones
Meon
hill
Biddulph,
Shap
circles
Long Meg
Rosslyn
Pitlochery (geographical centre of Scotland)
Lairg
It was Guy Ragland
Phillips who discovered a web network of Leys that pivoted on
a north/south alignment in Brigantia (Celtic name for the north
of England), which he named the Belinus line. He then
subsequently wrote about this in his book "Brigantia a Mysteriography".
Guy projected the line south to Lee on Solent and northwards to
Inverhope. He believes that this line followed the course of one of the
old straight roads built in the reign of the legendary King Belinus
(ruled 380-363BC), hence the name.
'Bel', was the Celtic/Roman sun god of hilltop sanctuaries
across Europe and was also known as Belinus, particularly in
France and then subsequently known as St. Michael when
Christianity arrived. The British festival of Beltane (May 1st)
was celebrated by lighting hilltop fires calling on the power of the sun
god 'Bel' to fertilize the land at springtime.
At the centre of the Michael line is the great stone circle of
Avebury with stone avenues leading from the circle. I was amazed to
discover that at the centre of the Belinus line is the megalithic
complex of Shap, which had great stone avenues connecting stone
circles. The megaliths at Shap are made from local pink granite and some
are as large as the Avebury stones. Sadly most of the great stones were
broken up for construction, but there are still a few to be seen today.
It is interesting that at the centre of the Belinus line and at
the centre of Britain is an area of pink granite an appropriate colour
for the heart centre of Britain. I believe that Shap, like
Avebury are both Serpent temples each positioned at the
centre of the two great energy flows in Britain.
