RICHARD X

Where would life be without NATURE’S inspiration
The spark of ALL … the tree of life
Centred at Earth’s core
The rogue spirit that defies the law
Covered up forever ? … no more
Merely this and nothing more
All together in whispered tone
We gather round the stones
The stone of tone …
Our inner sanctum Santorum
The heart – the cave – listen to our call
FLASH OF KNOWING ….
Sky Clad Window of our soul
Fire of the heart … emerging
Inspiration for all … is ALL

Lacy’s Caves are a series of 5 chambers in the red sandstone cliff of River Eden, just north of Little Salkeld, Cumbria,

Lacy’s Caves and
Long Meg Stone Circle

Our video is a guided walk in the Eden Valley of Cumbria. We start from Little Salkeld and walk along side the River Eden and Settle to Carlisle railway line. We pass through Longmeg Mine (dis) to Lacy’s Caves and then continue following the river to Daleraven Bridge. We return to Little Salkeld visiting Long Meg and her Daughters Stone Circle. We see much wildlife on this easy 4.5 mile walk, allow 2 hours.

Long Meg & Her Daughters
.
.
A weight of Awe not easy to be borne
Fell suddenly upon my spirit, cast
From the dread bosom of the unknown past,
When first I saw that family forlorn;
Speak Thou, whose massy strength and stature scorn
The power of years – pre-eminent, and placed
Apart, to overlook the circle vast.
Speak Giant-mother! tell it to the Morn,
While she dispels the cumbrous shades of night;
Let the Moon hear, emerging from a cloud,
At whose behest uprose on British ground
That Sisterhood in hieroglyphic round
Forth-shadowing, some have deemed the infinite
The inviolable Creator that tames the proud.
William Wordsworth 1822

Local legend claims that Long Meg was a female healer who with her daughters, was turned to stone for profaning the (Christian law) Sabbath, as they danced wildly on the moor. The circle is supposedly endowed with magic,

Nearby on one stone are some geometrical carvings – consisting of a spiral and five concentric circles. The three circles of Long Meg, Little Meg and nearby Glassonby are the only ones in Cumbria with such carvings.

The circle of life
Ancients knew
Would be back
Around and more
