Ritual Astronomy
Prisms made from quartz crystals were set into the stones
to mark the exact moment for worship.
During the Winter Solstice event the lightbeam inside
the mound takes on the characteristics of a shimmering
cross, four earthly points marked in stone, four heavenly
points marked by the lightbeam — making eight points.
The split beam may be the oldest known example of the
illuminated cross. Again, elements of Christianity are in
evidence in the Star Temple structure.
Obviously the mounds were constructed to stand the
test of time. The weight of one of the kerb stones surpasses
twenty tons. One visit to Newgrange will tell you
that someone was keenly interested in building a permanent
and stable platform here, not simply a tomb, but
an observation chamber capable of capturing moonlight,
starlight, sunlight and firelight, a chamber wherein a
trained observer could watch and record planetary
motion, lunar phases, star configurations and solar events
with great accuracy. (Plate ix)
As amazing as this may seem, it is not science fiction.
Newgrange, Knowth, and the other carved mounds in
Ireland, Western Europe, and along the East Coast of
North America were temples dedicated to observing, and
worshipping, the light spectrum. Did the builders of these
mounds understand the true nature of the lightbeam and
its prismatic effect? Did they fathom the synchronous
orbital relationship between the Earth and the moon?
Could they navigate across seas, and if so, how far did
they travel? Did they use the orbit of Saturn as a timing
system? Whoever built them not only worshiped the
planets, they worshipped the energy exchange between
the visible and invisible universe, a complex relationship
which is reflected in the petroglyphs. (Plate x)
How then were they different than ourselves? If a
group of Neolithic architects could be transported to our
modern era, they may not be able to support their ar-
