Venus Cathedrals
From lower to top (or from south to north)
The Biscay venus hill. (Head to the left, breast, pregnant tummy and then legs and feet).
The Langdale Pikes
Beinn Bharrain
Cailleach na Mointeach. (Head to the right).
Snow and 'arms' of mist, sun rise and sunset, white moonlight and yellow planet venus reflections will have seduced the lines of landscape.
For this series of montage images I have added simple highlight lines to evoke an experience of a venus hill - the first Cathedrals.
The Langdale Pike image comes from Wiki commons and was taken by Nik Sheridan. Modification rights were included -
many thanks.
The Cailleach na Mointeach image is a montage of cut and 'paste into'. The lines are quite accurate.
The Biscay and Beinn Bharrain venus hills are from my originals.
Work on the Cailleach na Mointeach. venus hill has been pioneered by Margaret and Ron Curtis who have studied, among other things, place names and the links between landscape, the Callnish megalithic rows and circles, and their interaction with moon cycles. The hill is translated from Gaillic as 'The old woman of the moors' and is found on the Isles of Lewes in the far west of the British Isles. An English translation is 'Sleeping beauty' and the term 'Mother earth hill' has been used.
I have arrived at the subject of 'venus hills' after recreating and studying paleolithic 'venus figurines' and projecting them as having been horizontal descriptions of a protective strategy for carrying pregnant women during the ice age (see below and transportation strategies I have termed 'Dragons').
The Langdale pikes are close to the centre of the Lake District - just under Scotland and also in the British Isles. The views that seem to best expose the venus qualities are from Loughrigg Tarn and Elterwater. Snow is an important quality for bringing the 'venus' out of these hills. The Langdale Pikes are one of Europe's key neolithic sites, where people worked outside of logic in order to extract stone from key profiles of the ridge. The stones were then used to produce ceremonial axe heads which then dissipated far and wide.
The Beinn Bharrain venus hill provides the backdrop for the Machrie Moor megaliths from the west coast island of Arran, again in the British Isles;
The Biscay venus hill looks down over the Biscay littoral interchange between north and south and east and west.
Whilst wind turbines have a key role to play in future energy supply, they should be kept away from venus hill / megalithic associations. Smaller turbines or painted turbines are still intrusions on views that must be kept free. Debates about tourism are not required as there is nothing to negotiate. Radio towers and buildings also have no role to play.
"Whilst all around our mother earth
waits balanced in the scales"
All hills and vales can have had a local significance during an animistic prehistory - few hills had the correct morphology to become backdrops for culture over the great chapters of prehistory.
The original venus hill of the Biscay looked over a landscape of plenty (even for the Ice age) with lower sea levels procuring wide coastal grasslands for herds, marshlands from glacial melt - attracting water birds, and estuaries providing rich breeding grounds for shell fish. Sea fish attracted seals and game animals occupied the foothill forests; berries were eaten by bears, reindeer runs misted the horizon and salmon congregated before heading inland. Far up river, be it in Occitanie, on the Basque massif or in the Asturies, Cantabrie and Galicia. the theater of plenty was well known and its 'mother earth' watched over the keys to the compass. During the ages post ice age, the land that was lost to rising seas pushed the coastal peoples to find new lands and new Godess landscapes of fecundity - the revealed coastal lands of the British Isles providing replacement. Communities that had been established inland from the flooded lands would have stayed in place (a 'piege' for population genetics) with the roaming and reacting peoples from the flat coast lands being the nucleus for the ones that left. From this logic, it is possible to hypothesis that a venus hill must exist that ignited no adoration due to a geographical position away from such vespers of fecundity and life force. Central Spain has a venus hill in a region that lacked the dynamic life force of the west coast and would not attract major prehistory until the late Bronze age at a time when the first agricultural revolution could take effect within just such a landscape. The hill was indicated to me after this initial post, and has all of the lines of a venus hill : head, torso, legs and feet, but is labeled with a name that may reflect how it was understood by prehistoric wandered conversation. The ridge of hills is known as 'La mujer Muerta', or 'The dead woman'. There is a caution to exercise, as it was normal within 'history' to descend the power of others by adding stigma, but, if it had once been a Venus Cathedral, there should be a prehistoric activity or megalithic reflection within its shadow.
