[I love the ancient monuments at Avebury, UK, even more so than Stonehenge! I’ve visited the site three times in my life, because it’s magical! I read recently from a particular channel that Avebury is actually a form of a serpent mound that would play an important role in reestablishing Earth’s energetic grid during the Solar Eclipse tomorrow. So, I dedicated my Sunday meditation to understanding the original purpose and use of the Avebury complex. What I received was very enlightening. I hope you find it as entertaining as me. — Rob]
Meditation:
I am asking for Archangel Uriel’s assistance in helping me to recall visions, perhaps memories, of the time and the landscape around Avebury, what is currently known as Avebury. I wish to go back to the beginning when it was established to understand its purpose, the nature of why it was constructed the way it was, what it was intended to accomplish for the peoples who went to so much time and effort to create it. How does it fit into the global grid, and is that relevant today?
So I see myself in my sacred temple, going to the place where Uriel meets me. As always, he places his Silver Flame of Illumination in my hands. With both hands I stretch it into a looking glass, held in front of me. I’m holding the bottom, and it stays as a glass in front of me, as a window, as it were, into the past.
I ask for images, visions of the landscape, as it existed then.

I see the avenue of stones. There are many of us dressed in lighter colored robes walking our way up the avenue from the western side towards the large enclosure [my word for the large, circular ditch-and- bank, which encloses a sacred area of smaller stone circles]. We’re coming somewhat uphill.
There are simple, rough-hewn stones in pairs, making a roadway, a pathway. The pathway is clear, as is some of the landscape on each side of the roadway as well, so it is rather open; but there are trees a little further out.
I am one of many who are making our way in a procession, perhaps twenty, two dozen of us. There is a feeling of solemness for the ritual, but at the same time there is excitement.
As we approach the bank and ditch enclosure, we see the bank first. There is an opening and the avenue crosses into the interior of this circle. The outer bank is white chalk, which makes quite a contrast with the surrounding greenery. The bank stands as high as a man, so it is difficult to see inside the enclosure until in the opening of the avenue that enters into the interior. As we enter in, we can see the ditch is very deep on the interior side of the bank. Clearly, the material that was removed from the ditch makes the bank on the outside, and the interior of the ditch is also white chalk.
It’s a large enclosure, and on the opposite side, we can see another opening where the avenue continues on — the avenue of stones, the stone-lined avenue. In the interior, on the level portion, across the natural earthen bridge over the ditch, there are two standing stone circles, but there’s also building structures with a roof on the inside of the enclosure in front of the bank and ditch.
The structure is circular, conforming to the curve of the ditch. It seems there’s a long bench with covered roof, open in the front and closed on the backside. This forms a natural barrier from the ditch and some amount of protection from the elements, but it is open on the inside, on the interior side, so that anyone sitting around on that bench has a view to the interior stone circles.
As we enter in to the enclosure, we file our way around and take up positions on the bench looking to the interior. We prepare ourselves, mentally, emotionally, spiritually for the ceremony that is about to take place. We space ourselves out appropriately and go into a meditative state, chanting, somewhat to ourselves but also in unison with all others. Sound plays a significant role in elevating the vibration of the place, of ourselves.
There is a high priest and priestess who come into the center of the circle. This is our cue to step forward. We all take our positions around one of the two interior stone circles. The two stone circles are conjoined to form an infinity symbol.
The high priest and priestess take up their positions between the stones to connect the two. They serve as the connection point. And the rest of us take up our positions between each of the standing stones that make up the circles. We are all facing the interior.
The Priest is facing the interior of one circle; the Priestess is facing the interior of the other. This is the conjoining of the masculine and feminine energies. In fact, I now notice that the men are around one circle, and the women are around the other. [In fact, I realized at this point that the procession up the avenue into the enclosure was two-by-two, a male and a female, and when we filed into the enclosure, we split off in separate directions, the men going to the right, the women going to the left. Also, there must have been enough of us to fill all the gaps between the stones of these two interior stone circles.]
We were asking Mother Earth to join us, to make her presence known. We are connecting the energies of the Earth, increasing them. We are connecting downward, pulling up the energy of the Earth and radiating it out to the landscape, to the sky, the atmosphere.
Today is the day of an eclipse. We know it is arriving; we know when. Already the light, the ambient light, from the sun seems a bit dimmer. There is an excitement of what is to come. At the same time, there’s pride that we get to take part in the ceremony that will be so helpful to our peoples, the peoples of this land.
There are others who are here who are not part of the priest class — the peoples, the local peoples, coming out to witness; not great throngs, but some leadership (elected representatives).
As we stand in the circle, we continue to chant, joining our energies in a circle, pulling the energies up from the Earth, swirling it around our circle, as the women are doing around their’s. The energies cross over to the other circle, balancing. Again, we are all chanting in unison, as the sun continues to darken. When it reaches its culmination point — the full totality — we can look up at the sun, and for that brief time, we ask that Mother-Father-One birth the new era. We, in this double circle enclosure, are the womb of creation. We are forming the egg that will be fertilized by the conjoining of the energies of Earth and the energies of Heaven.
And when that is accomplished, we return back to our benches, but we are not done. And then with the high priest and priestess in the lead, we proceed up the avenue over to another stone enclosure, another stone circle, what is known today as the Sanctuary. We all file out two-by-two, following them, a female and a male side-by-side, and we walk our way up over the hill and down to the Sanctuary.
As we make our way down, we can see the top of Silbury Hill. It is an observation post to allow others to see both the enclosure that we just left as well as the sanctuary and the avenues that connect them. It is a vantage point to see the entire structure, strewn across a fairly large portion of the landscape.
We make our way to this singular stone circle. This time we take our positions as pairs, male and female, between the stones facing the interior. The high priest and the priestess are in the center.
What was birthed in the larger enclosure is now coming to fruition, and we are anchoring it into the Earth, then to the landscape. Our intention for this creation is a new era of prosperity and connection with the Divine. This particular ritual has been performed many times in the past and will continue, as far as we’re concerned, well into the future.
From here, the ceremony is concluded, and there’s much rejoicing, hugging, happiness. And we make our way to Silbury Hill, to the field that’s at the base for a celebration, a bonfire, a night of revelry.
Of course, by the time we got to the circle known as the Sanctuary, the sun had returned to full brightness, but as we made our way to Silbury Hill, the sun was setting. It was a night of much rejoicing and celebration.

Uriel, thank you so much for assisting me today. I will enjoy writing this up and sharing it.
