The Sacred Mysteries of Scotland

“For once you have tasted flight, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.”  ~ Leonardo da Vinci

 Across the vast ocean, surrounded by the North Sea, British Isles and intense Irish Sea, is a stunning country rich in sacred and medieval history, archaeology, honor, nobility, strong independence, romance, mysticism and magic.

Laden in lush flora and fauna, majestic mountains and scenery, captivating Lochs, breathtaking Isles, and mystical, mysterious sacred sites and temples – Scotland, the land and its people encompass strength, knowledge, beauty, unity and most of all… timelessness.

This mystical and magical land has captivated the hearts of many, such as Robert the Bruce, William Wallace, Robert Burns, Robert Louis Stevenson, and so many more. With its powerful Druid, Pagan, Celtic and Gaelic traditions and rituals; fortresses, castles, Gothic cathedrals and abbeys; the mystical and sacred Rosslyn Chapel; ancient history rich with the Knights Templar; Scottish Knights and Clans, Kings, Queens and Saints – the Kingdom of Scotland is immersed with esoteric secrets and symbols, mysterious sites, energetic leylines, stone circles, megaliths, treasures and adventure.

The evocative, sacred grounds of Scotland are abundant with Geomantic sites of power – leylines, vortexes and Sacred Geometry that the enigmatic Knights Templar, Master Masons, Royalty, Nobility and Druids followed, connected to and honored throughout this mystical land – leaving symbols and carvings along their sacred path, embodying their truth and wisdom, in hopes for their messages to be heard and stories to be told.

Traveling from the Lowlands to the Highlands of Scotland, to the Inner and Outer Hebrides… the ethereal and mountainous terrain of this strong, vibrant country has some of the most powerful, ancient, sacred, archaeological sites, and exquisite scenery imaginable.

From the elegant, mystical Rosslyn Chapel – a profound library of wisdom carved in stone – first constructed during the Autumnal Equinox of 1446 by Prince William Sinclair; to Temple Wood, Nether Largie and Ri Cruin Cairn in Kilmartin Glen – it’s landscape and area filled with history of the Knights Templar; the mystical, sacred Quartz-Crystal Mountain of Schiehallion (translated, its name means “The Fairy Hill of the Caledonians) which overlooks the exquisite, quaint town of Kinloch Rannoch between Perth and Kinross. This spiritual mountain marks the geographical heart of Scotland… where the lines of longitude and latitude converge at its summit. Nearby the megalithic standing stone known as the “Praying Hands of Mary” in Glen Lyon, sits atop an earth energy alignment (leyline) watching over the land.
