Hill of Tara - Earth Energy Fields

Hill of Tara - Earth Energy Fields
© Ordnance Survey Ireland Permit No.8521

The Earth Energy Fields of the Hill of Tara display a high degree of spiritual focus. There is a central silver line running through the Banqueting Hall – an ancient initiatory linear earthwork - the King's Chair, the Mound of The Hostages which is an ancient chambered cairn, and Teach Cormac where the High King would reside. This silver energy gives the potential to access higher spiritual awareness.

Along the ancient road from the north-west flows a line of gold, which fosters Divine Awareness. It touches St. Patrick's Well and the east side of Teach Cormac. The broadest line of gold flows across the Old Well and Rath Grainne, which was the dwelling place of the women. Silver and gold earth energies are strong enough to resist being damaged – but harm has been done to a different line running through the east of Teach Cormac, which connects to a large stone quarry south west of Tara.

If you wish to open to Earth energies, be sure to ask for spiritual protection so that you do not pick up negative energies in your aura. Earth Energy Lines are part of the Earth's aura. They feed people with life energy through the human chakras. Plants and animals are also sustained by them, and even soil would feel dead without them. Energy leys flow in straight lines on the surface of the Earth. Underground streams have a winding course. They hold energy in water or mineral lodes which project energies to the surface.

The colours of the lines have association with various qualities:

Map Dowsing the Hill of Tara by Stephanie Bolton

Edited version of an article first published by the British Society of Dowsers - Volume 41, Number 293, September 2006.

The Hill of Tara lies about 40 KM (25 miles) north-west of Dublin in the Boyne Valley. It is best known as the seat of the High Kings of Ireland from 300 to 1022AD, but there is a small chambered cairn there, known as the Mound of the Hostages dating from 2000BC, and a linear earthwork, 230 metres long and 27 metres wide, known as the Banqueting Hall, which was created in Neolithic times. The earthwork climbs up the northern slope of the hill, with high banks on each side which block any view until one reaches the top. It has been interpreted as a ceremonial entrance way. There are legends of a huge banqueting hall at Tara, which has given it its name. Theosophists regard it as an initiatory passage. Roads converging on the northeast side of the hill are known as the Ancient Roads to Tara from the other royal sites in the land. These were built wide enough for two chariots to pass by.

There was a standing stone outside the entrance of the Mound of the Hostages. This cast a shadow into the passage on the Equinoxes and certain full moons. There are carvings on some of the slabs lining the passage walls. The stone was moved inside Rath Riogh, the ring fort adjoining Teach Cormac – which means the House of Cormac. He was Cormac mac Airt, possibly the most celebrated High King. The stone is Lia Fail – the Stone of Destiny, which identified a true king by screaming at the touch of his chariot wheel. Archaeological investigations by Conor Newman have been documented in his book on Tara. This year a new book has been published by Edel Breathnach, called 'The Kingship and Landscape of Tara'.

Stephanie Bolton's study of the Earth Energies of the Hill of Tara was made by map dowsing in May 2004, prior to her visit. It is enhanced by the art work of her friend Frances McShane so as to appear like a bird's eye view, showing lines of light changing the colours of the grassy hill. Stephanie understands Earth Energies as an aspect of the aura of the Earth, and part of the Universal Energy Field. Many healers can see colours in the energy fields of their client's aura. Earth Energy dowsers can sense the energy of leys and underground streams, and though they may not see the lines, they can dowse for an indication of their quality – defined by colour. This can be applied in analysing geopathic stress, for example, there may be an energy ley in a house which should be light blue, but it is stagnated and dowsing as light grey. A person regularly sitting, working or sleeping in this energy line can manifest throat problems since light blue is the colour associated with the throat chakra. Another problem associated with stagnation of this colour is difficulties with communication.

Stephanie follows the well-known colours and associated qualities of the human chakras and in addition she recognises five more. The colours that she works with are red – physical manifestation, connection to the Earth; orange – comfort, pleasure, well-being, sexuality; yellow – memory, will, emotion; green – love, healing, open heart; light blue – communication; dark blue – creative ideas; lavender – spiritual awareness, meditation, spiritual healing; violet, connection with spirit; pale pink – angelic protection; magenta (deep pink) – unconditional love; brown – life energy of plants, the soil, Nature, inspiration for craftspeople; silver – spirit in matter, higher dimensional manifestation, divine protection; and gold – connection with the Divine. A black line denotes a stagnated energy line.

The Earth Energy fields of the Hill of Tara display a high degree of spiritual focus. There is a central silver line running through the Banqueting Hall, the King's Chair, the Mound of The Hostages, and Teach Cormac where the High King would reside. This silver energy gives the potential to access higher spiritual awareness. Along the ancient road from the north-east flows a line of gold, which fosters Divine Awareness. It flows through the local church, which now serves as a visitor's centre, touches St. Patrick's Well and the east side of Teach Cormac. The broadest line of gold flows across the Banqueting Hall and westwards to the Old Well and Rath Grainne in the woods on the west side of the hill, which was the dwelling place of the women. Silver and gold earth energies are strong enough to resist being damaged – but harm has been done to a different line (not marked) running through Teach Cormac which connects to a large active stone quarry south west of Tara. If you wish to open to the energies of Tara, be sure to ask for spiritual protection because of this.
