Survey--Delaware Counties' Stone Columns and more Part II Manitou Stones

There were a few Manitou Stones on the property, but not an abundance of them. The picture below is of the largest one I found. My staff, marked in increments of one foot, showed it to be about three feet high. My dog Jaeda Bear is pictured next to the stone.

The side view of he Manitou Stone below shows it to be about two feet thick.

Below is a cluster of several Manitou Stones. The large stone in front looks like a Manitou Stone, but it is not.

I imagine the large stone embedded in front was placed there by a glacier a long time ago, or by some other Earth moving event.

The picture above was taken on the other side of the large stone. The two stones on the bottom left are Manitou Stones. Both have begun tilting. I imagine long ago the area between the two Manitous and the larger stone was electrified.

Putnam County, NY Survey- Part 1--Manitou Stones

Over a month ago I drove down to Putnam county in downstate New York, a little north of NYC, for a survey with Polly Midgley and Bill Pollard. We all wore masks, which for me was the longest I have worn one for an extended period. We found lots of Manitou Stones , interesting stone walls, a large balanced rock and more. We ran into a recently lightning struck tree. As expected I found a strike point nearby as I talk about.

What we encountered is very similar to what I had found earlier during a survey in the Catskills/Hudson Valley region. Stone Structures--Hudson Valley/ Catskills Part 1 Overview

The posting of the survey was done in five parts beginning with Manitou Stones.

Here are the various segments:

Putnam County, NY Survey- Part 1--Manitou Stones

Putnam County, NY Survey- Part 2--An enclosed Sacred Area

Putnam County, NY Survey- Part 3--Dragon Lines

Putnam County, NY Survey- Part 4--A Strike Point

Putnam County, NY Survey- Part 5 -Balanced Rock

Part 1 Manitou Stones

We found lots and lots of Manitou stones. They were mostly of a larger size and not the smaller ones we often find throughout New York State, New England and in the Mid-Atlantic states.

The picture above is of the larger Manitou Stones. It is about four feet high. My staff is candy-striped in one foot increments.

The Manitou Stone above is a little tough to see, it is directly behind the fence in front of the picture. It also marks the beginning of another fence that intersects the fence in front.

Here is a closeup of the Manitou Stone, it is about two feet high.

Finding Manitou Stones within a stone wall is a common feature I have seen in West Virginia and though out New England. It was also reminiscent to what we found at our survey in the Catskills/Hudson Valley region north of where we were in Putnam county.

Manitou's at Skytop (in the city of Syracuse) Posting #3

Last Friday I went back to Skytop and found the collection of Manitou Stones I could not find during my last visit and post Manitou's at Skytop (in the city of Syracuse) Posting #2. Although I had a good idea of where they were, there is such a mass of trails there that curve and weave that it is easy to get lost.

The collection of Manitou Stones and accompanying stone works is impressive.

Jaeda Bear gives perspective as to how large the stones are. Unfortunately all of the stones have toppled over, or are close to doing so as the one Jaeda is in front of. The picture below better demonstrates this. It is a photograph of the exact opposite view.

Below is a picture of the center area.

Treated As a Sacred Area

I believe that this area of Manitou Stones were used for sacred purposes and possibly for healing for a long period. As I am fond of saying "Mother Earth Needs Us to Achieve Her Fullest Potential and We Need Her to Achieve Ours." Positive loving intentions are met with an equally positive and loving response. One way that our Mother does that is through water, the source of all life.

This collection of Manitou Stones has been blessed with a water vein, that no doubt formed in response to  the amount of praying, ceremony or healing that was done within it. In other words, all the positive thoughts and actions created a water vein thanks to our Mother. A water vein originates from the center of the collection of Manitous.

In the picture above a stake upright in the ground marks the origination point of the water vein,

In the picture above sticks trace out the water vein originating in the center of the Manitous. The water is flowing away from the center.

An Accompaniment

Surrounding the collection of Manitou Stones were smaller Manitous and Platform Stones. The Pictures below are of Platform Stones that have unfortunately been made part of the mountain bike trail, so bikers are constantly riding over them.

It is always a joy to find and be around sacred stone structures. Again what is so amazing about the Stone Structures at Skytop are that they have been able to withstand the assault of farming followed by a huge rock quarrying effort and now mountain bikers.

Blessings,

Sacred Sites Update-- Muller Hill, Georgetown, NY

Yesterday I visited Muller Hill for the first time in a few years. My review of Muller Hill is located on pages 162-177 of Sacred Sites in North Star Country: Places in Greater New York State (PA,OH,NJ,CT,MA,VT,ONT) That Changed the World.

The thing I noticed first was that the Finger Lakes Trail's Link Trail had lost much of its vibe;.It went from slightly positive to positive, down to neutral. This could be because of several factors; most likely because of the vibe of people walking the trail, or activities conducted on or close to the trail, such as hunting. Hunting is particularly pernicious to sacred areas. The intense focus on trapping, stalking and killing is brutal and is increased with a kill. Ask yourself would you want someone sitting in your living room thinking about killing for five or six hours?

Microwaving Mother Earth

I also wondered whether the diminished vibe was because of increased electromagnetic activity. Since 2009 the use of cell phones has exploded. There has also been the invention and surge of smart appliances, smart device such as  cars... that use WiFi. This  has led to a surge in the use of WiFi. There has also been a dramatic increase in WifFi use by computer users. As I noted in Vortices and Spirals WifFi is death star technology and creates negative vortices over time. This has had a devastating affect on our Mother. 5G is around the corner. Basically we are increasing the veracity of our microwaving of Mother Earth.

What am I talking about?

Think of what microwaving does to food. Think how you are told not to get too many X-rays. 

I need to look at some other sites but I am beginning to get an inkling that  we are starting to more vividly see the damaging consequences of the microwaving of our Mother.

Areas

Pictured are the Manitou Stones I found on the trail. Years ago I was not attuned to Manitous the way I am today. There were also several other stones near the Mantious which made me wonder whiter there was a larger structure there at some time.

Pictured above are the two Manitou Stones.

The the trails to the Glen and the Back Woods were un-navigitable, particularly the one for the Back Woods. I could get into the area of the Glen but the trail was gone.

The Holy Ridge was still incredible. The trail up was in good shape. The vibe was still very positive to extremely positive in the sacred areas, although the vortex had diminished to a vortex ring. I just love this place.

Pick a spot you can't go wrong on the Holy Ridge.

Prayer stoneware marking where I have meditated.

Prayer stones.

 

Another sacred area on the Holy Ridge.

A sure sign that I have been someplace are flat stones resting against a tree awaiting to become prayer stones. They say that we unconsciously leave behind things at a place because we want to come back to it. There are lots and lots of prayer stones resting against trees at Muller Hill.

Manitou Stone at Norwich's Mt. Hope Cemetery

On the way home from my survey last Friday in Norwich I stopped by to say hello to my friend Joe at work. He told me I should check out the stone structures behind Mt. Hope Cemetery; he had mentioned this to me years ago.

I went to the cemetery thinking the stone structures were located just behind the cemetery. I ended up climbing the hill behind the cemetery for about 30 minutes to get to the top. I was unprepared, wearing sneakers and brought no water with me. But it was well worth it.

I don't think that I found the stone structures Joe's friend had told him about. I did find several large stones; many marking Energy Lines. More time was needed to determine whether it was just coincidence, or that the stones were intentionally placed. My recent ongoing survey of the Ledges Area has taught me to consider Energy Lines in my geomancy and survey of sacred sites and stone structures.

Thank you Joe.

Here are some pictures:

There are several large stones and piles of stones are on the top of the Hill. There is nothing extraordinary about many of  them.

 Then I saw this Manitou Stone. An upright stone buried in the ground with a gravestone type of shape. Notice the stone next to the Manitou stone on its lower right next to it, intersecting it at an angle. It marks an Energy Lines coming into the Manitou Stone at that precise angle, as I show below.

 Notice the Maintou Stone in the upper center and the surrounding stones.

Red Lines marks the Energy Lines coming into the Manitou Stone. Notice how Energy Lines connect the stones. Also notice how one Energy Line intersects the Manitou Stone perpendicuallarly while another intersects it parallellly--as if it came in one should blade area and went out the shoulder blade on the other side.

 I have marked another Manitou Stone M2. Notice how it is connected to the original Manitou Stone (M1) and that one Energy Line bisects it perpendicularly and other bisects it parallellly.

 I found the above line of large Stones on my way out.

The red lines show Energy Lines. Notice how the stones outline the Energy Lines. Interesting but no conclusive proof that this was intentionally done as with the Manitou Stones above.

It was a great day and a wonderful chance to explore a new area. Thanks again Joe. 

I encourage everyone to go out there and explore Mother Earth and say thanks and give Her a  big hug.

Blessings to everyone.
