One has too few sites to be called a ley but the churches of Long Wittenharn and Drayton St. Leonard align with the henge, and are about equidistant. A more spectacular line is the one which passes through Dorchester Abbey, the Big Rings, a causewayed ring ditch on the cursus, Windmill Hill, a church by a holy well in Oxford, and two cross-tracks further north. A further line passes through the multi-junction at Berrick Salome, the wood henge on the cursus, the Big Rings, a church in Abingdon and one in Tubney, and Harrowdown Hill, which looks from the map to be a spectacular clump. The name also implies prehistoric associations. These alignments would be an interesting subject for a future field trip if anyone is interested." <br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.leyhunt.fsnet.co.uk/lhunt86.htm">www.leyhunt.fsnet.co.uk/lhunt86.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <br><br>"Ringmer <br>(E).

It is the Modern English form of the Anglo-Saxon hearg: "temple, altar, sanctuary, idol, grove", cognate to the Swedish harg, the German horg, and the Old Icelandic hargr, which refer to altars made of stacked stones and dedicated to a Deity. On these altars, which were usually under the sky, libations of mead (honey wine) or other spirits could be poured out, and various offerings burned or left for the God/dess. This website is a virtual Harrow dedicated to the God Woden (Wodhanaz, Wodan, Odin, Oden, Óðinn), and all the Germanic Gods and Goddesses, upon which you will find my offerings." <br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~wodensharrow/faq.html">home.earthlink.net/~woden...w/faq.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <br><br>"Aius Locutus: A divine voice that shouted a warning to the Romans at the approach of the Gauls in 390 BCE" <br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://home.tiscali.be/mauk.haemers/collegium_religionis/deities.htm">home.tiscali.be/mauk.haem...eities.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <br><br>July 18 -- the day David Kelly´s body was found <br>"18-138 14:54 The Festival of Aius Locutus" <br>["A few comments: following is a calender of the Roman year; I utilize the standard form of months of thirty and thirty-one days. The second number after the date is the degree of the sun from March 1. By ignoring the dates of 31, the calender easily fit into the 360 degree circle. The harmony of the dates and degrees makes this arrangement attractive. You might notice that I am missing a degree at the end. The elegance of this far overrides the science. The length of the day is also stated, since this changes each day. Divide this period by 12 to get the length of the Roman hour for that day. <br>F is a lawful day, N (nefastus) is an unlawful day, NP is a half day (nefastus parte), or EN (endotercisi) when business may be conducted at midday. <br><br>The first number is the day of the month; then there is the degree of the sun from the first day of the year; finally there is the length of daylight on that day; finally, Roman calendar nomenclature describing the day."] <br><br>"THE ARA OF AIUS LOCUTIUS. In 1820, while excavations were proceeding near the western corner of the Palatine (at the spot marked No. 7, on the plan, page 106, of "Ancient Rome"), an altar was discovered, of archaic type, inscribed with the following dedication: "Sacred to a Divinity, whether male or female. Caius Sextius Calvinus, son of Caius, praetor, has restored this altar by decree of the Senate." Nibby and Mommsen believe Calvinus to be the magistrate mentioned twice by Cicero as a candidate against Glaucias in the contest for the praetorship of 125 B.C. They also identify the altar as (a restoration of) the one raised behind the Temple of Vesta, in the "lower New Street," in memory of the mysterious voice announcing the invasion of the Gauls, in the stillness of the night, and warning the citizens to strengthen the walls of their city. The voice was attributed to a local Genius, whom the people named Aius Loquens or Locutius. As a rule, the priests refrained from mentioning in public prayers the name and sex of new and slightly known divinities, especially of local Genii, to which they objected for two reasons: first, because there was danger of vitiating the ceremony by a false invocation; secondly, because it was prudent not to reveal the true name of these tutelary gods to the enemy of the commonwealth, lest in case of war or siege he could force them to abandon the defence of that special place, by mysterious and violent rites. The formula si deus si dea, "whether god or goddess," is a consequence of this superstition; its use is not uncommon on ancient altars; Servius describes a shield dedicated on the Capitol to the Genius of Rome, with the inscription:GENIO URBIS ROMAE SIVE MAS SIVE FEMINA, "to the tutelary Genius of the city of Rome, whether masculine or feminine." The Palatine altar, of which I give an illustration, cannot fail to impress the student, on account of its connection with one of the leading events in history, the capture and burning of Rome by the Gauls, 390 B.C." <br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.ku.edu/history/index/europe/ancient_rome/E/Gazetteer/Places/E">www.ku.edu/history/index/...r/Places/E</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> urope/Italy/Lazio/Roma/Rome/.Texts/Lanciani/LANPAC/2*.html " <br><br> <p></p><i></i>
