Three Armoured-Legs Moving Clockwise in the Direction of the Sun!

Isle of Mann: The 5,000-Year-Old Grave on a Manx Front Lawn! (3.8.2026)

As Celts, we are very much on our path toward a progressive future. After the English Civil Wars of the 1640s-1650s – the absolute monarchy was permanently abolished and has never been bought back. What we have is a “Constitutional Monarchy” that possesses no political power and acts as an unelected Head of State – employed by the democratically elected Parliament – the winner of the Civil War(s). The term “Crown” is a misnomer – as in this instance the term “Crown” refers to “Parliament” – or that (bourgeois) body which now possesses control of the means of production (which it took-off the aristocracy by force of arms – executing King Charles I in the process). Cromwell was centre-left – but after his death, his son was overthrown and a centre-right bourgeois government took its place. It has been this way since 1659 – with every attempt of a Socialist Revolution being defeated. This centre-right bourgeois government even brought back a very weakened CofE, etc. So, the Isle of Mann (Manx) is an island of 85,000 Celts who live on an island in the Irish Sea between West England and East Ireland. The Celts used to occupy all the islands in this part of the world and shared a common identity. There are graves like this in Stonehenge, etc.

Glastonbury Tor - Spiritual Centre of England!

UK: My Father’s “Celtic Cross” Has Arrived! (27.7.2026)

I ordered this sometime ago from a small business in the UK – who sent me a wonderful postcard of Glastonbury and a bundle of free incense. Although we are modern people – and not religious – we may be described as “spiritual”. The Celtic Cross, I believe, is pre-Christian, and that the Christians may have encountered it amongst the Pagans – and decided to co-opt it into their religion. All the Celtic Cross means is that the seasons (in the Western-world) are separated into four-seasons. The cross represents this – and this only. A cross like this can be found within Viking and Anglo-Saxon cultures. Christians, for centuries, used two-fishes, and an “X” with a “P” (a Greek character) – and various other symbols (Christ is depicted as using a “wand” at one-point) – but never a “croos”.

3D Reproduction of Royston Cave - Royston Council

UK: The Bell-Shaped “Royston Cave”! (17.7.2026)

The analysis found that the short male costumes and the headdresses and hairstyles of the women both point to a time between 1360-90, and the Saint Christopher carving was dated to the same era. The report concluded that it was unlikely that any of the carvings were executed before about 1350 – a century after the Templars were active in Royston, and decades after their widespread suppression. What’s more, the carvings feature Christian iconography, lacking the symbolism typically associated with the Templars – depictions of the Holy Sepulchre and Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, for example, or of two knights riding one horse.

Although the Knights Templar were known for building round churches, the circular shape of the cave does not necessitate a Templar link either – the greatest proliferation of round churches is in Scandinavia, where no Templars ever set foot. Nor is the presence of Pagan symbols such as the sheela na gig particularly mysterious; the same image appears in medieval churches across Britain and Europe.

Why, then, the supposed Templar connection? Perhaps the things that make for a good story now also made for a good story in 1742. “The risk here is people have been wanting to tell stories since day one: ‘Come and see the Templar cave!’,” said Tobit Curteis, the conservator of the cave. “Just because someone made up a story 300 years ago, it doesn’t mean it was any more true back then than it would be now.”

Old Way Mansion - Torbay - Where Me & Gee Were Married!

UK: The Hidden Celtic Structures in Modern Families! (23.6.26)

Of course, conflicting with powers outside the family is a normal occupations for working-class Celts. Although we can seldom win these wars in real terms – we win in another way – as the inner structure of the family is protected and secured. We divert the enemy and turn their attention to a more or less irrelevant feature which they invariably fall for. We encourage the false idea that “they are more intelligent” and that “they have beaten us” – and we retreat in mock defeat. This is how we handle the authorities. Children watch their parents doing this from an early age – and on it goes. The modern equivalent of showing the Shire-Reef our naked bottoms when he comes to collect taxes. Letting the middle and upper-classes think we are thick is one of our greatest defences. Inwardly, we cannot be rattled regardless of what is done to use externally. We will not bend to any blow and we never show it hurts.

Timeline and reconstruction of summer solstice celebrations as they might have appeared at Bulford 5000 years ago © Wessex Archaeology

UK: Strange Stories from England – Proto-Stone Henge Dsicovered! (19.6.2026)

“The discovery at Bulford is fundamental because it’s the earliest example of people building things here that aim directly at the solstice. When we talk about the solstice, we’re talking about religion. About how prehistoric peoples understood the cosmos, the world, and their place in it. What we see at Bulford, and later at Stonehenge, is a way of celebrating and marking the passage of time, but it’s also about making sure the world keeps working as it should. It’s likely their way of saying to their deities, please keep us in mind, keep us warm and safe. It’s a religious event. That’s why it’s so important.”

Prof. Chuck - Astrology!

UK: Charlie Chuck Does Horoscopes! (7.6.2026)

Wonderfully discontinuous! Professor Charles Chuck from up North! Today, the venerable Professor addresses the subject of ancient Celtic Horoscopes – and informs the audience of an interesting archaeological find in a cave somewhere in England. Although I am considered an expert in translating ancient Chinese text – I cannot translate what Prof. Chuck is saying (or the way he is saying it) for non-native Brits. Apologies for that – you are stuck with reality I’m afraid. Just allow the cadence to wash across you like a cool breeze and permit the jumbled metaphors to come and go as they please. This is from the James Whale Show of 1993. A masterpiece of a sketch. It may not mean a lot to you – but it meant even less to Prof. Chuck! I have had academic teachers who made about as much sense to me as Ptof. Chuck means to everyone else!
