The trip didn't start of well really. I had to sit by myself on the coach on the way back... But I was next to some of my friends, and then there were people who made me laugh (aka the boys in my class. The decent boys) and I listened to my iPod all the way up. And then people kept on getting my way when tried to take pictures... Seriously my best picture of man-'o-war cove was mucked up by another of the boys in my class... Damn him!! I also have a very surreal picture of a girl in my year, who walked right infront of me just as I took the picture. It'f freaky!! May put a couple of other pictures up... but not sure... So yeah.

The camera I used was only 2MP (not my phone though) but it takes some nice litle pictures... So yeah that's about it ^_^. ]]>

This may be one of the reasons why they are considered so powerful, as it is a common belief that magic cannot work on running water, and these stones have been holed by running water and so retain that influence of protecting from magic. A Hagstone Hagstones are also known as Holy Stones, Holey Stones, Epilates Stones, Wish Stones, Nightmare Stones and Witch Riding Stones.

They were ascribed with the power of protecting people and animals from the powers of evil spirits and witches, and were often worn around the neck, or hung on the key or door to the cattle stalls or stables. Hagstones were also thought to have the property of preventing milk curdling during a thunderstorm, when evil spirits were most active. This practice continues today in parts of Britain and Europe. In some parts of Europe farmers milked their cows so that the milk passed through a Hagstone.

A range of disorders were thought to be cured by Hagstones, placing them under the bed was thought to relieve cramp and rheumatism, and they could prevent stomach disorders caused by Hags sitting on the stomach during the night.

In Brand's Antiquities, we find the following quote: "A stone with a hole in it hung at the bed's head will prevent the nightmare. It is therefore called a Hag Stone from that disorder which is occasioned by a Hag or Witch sitting on the stomach of the party afflicted. It also prevents witches riding horses, for which purpose it is often tied to a stable key." In parts of Scandinavia large quantities of ale poured through a hag stone was given to an expectant mother to ease birth pains.

An Arabic custom was to tie a Hagstone around the neck of young camels to protect them from evil spirits and the evil eye. In some parts of Britain Hagstones were fastened to the bows of boats to keep them safe when at sea.

An interesting custom was the use of Hagstones as pledge stones, being held to ensure a person was telling the truth. Perhaps the most interesting properties a Hagstone was thought to possess were the ability to enable the bearer to see the faerie folk, and be warded from their enchantments. Hagstones found at mounds or other such sites were considered especially powerful. For a Hagstone to keep its full power it was supposed to be found by the bearer or given in love.

Larger Hagstones were used for weather magic, having a cord threaded through the hole and tied, and then being swirled vigorously around the head at arms length for dispelling winds and rain clouds.

As wish stones, they were held in the palm of the left hand, and rubbed with the thumb in a deosil (clockwise) manner whilst concentrating on the intent of the wish (this technique was also used with pieces of amber). We can see this as a technique of creative visualization, using the repetitive rubbing to focus the mind and then concentrating on the desired result (the "wish").

It is interesting to note that although the left hand is used to hold, this was probably not for its "sinister" aspect, but rather so that the rubbing could be done with the dominant (for most people), more "positively aspected" right hand. This is reinforced by the fact that the rubbing is done deosil, i.e. sunwise, in an invoking manner to invoke the desired result. Holed stones with multiple holes in were used as spell casting stones by medieval witches. The holes would be made in a stone, equidistant and in multiples of three. A cord or pebble would be passed through the holes in patterns of three, whilst the intent of the spell was repeated, usually in multiples of three. This type of spell emphasises a belief in the power of repetition to achieve a desired result ]]>

Are shattered by the sun
I walk a road, horizons change
The tournament?s begun
The purple piper plays his tune,
The choir softly sing;
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue,
For the court of the crimson king

The keeper of the city keys
Put shutters on the dreams
I wait outside the pilgrim?s door
With insufficient schemes
The black queen chants
The funeral march,
The cracked brass bells will ring;
To summon back the fire witch
To the court of the crimson king

The gardener plants an evergreen
Whilst trampling on a flower
I chase the wind of a prism ship
To taste the sweet and sour
The pattern juggler lifts his hand;
The orchestra begin
As slowly turns the grinding wheel
In the court of the crimson king

On soft gray mornings widows cry
The wise men share a joke;
I run to grasp divining signs
To satisfy the hoax
The yellow jester does not play
But gentle pulls the strings
And smiles as the puppets dance
In The Court of the Crimson king

En toda esta zona se encuentran corrientes subterraneas que forman depósitos comunmente conocidos como cenotes. "Cenote" es un término que se utiliza en México y que proviene de la palabra maya "dzonot", que significa "abismo". Los cenotes eran considerados como la puerta sagrada al inframundo Maya o Xibalbá; son pozos de pozos de agua dulce creados por la erosión de la piedra caliza, suave y porosa

Estos cenotes son parte de la hidrografía del estado, formada por ríos subterraneos que se unen entre sí, son cavernas a cielo abierto, por donde recorren las venas que nos muestran los muchos colores de la roca caliza y en ocasiones se descubren piezas de cerámica y vestigios mayas, así como la fauna acuatica que habita en esas profundidades.

Throughout this area there are undercurrents that deposits are commonly known as cenotes. "Cenote" is a term used in Mexico and comes from the Mayan word "Dzonot" which means "pit." The cenotes were considered a sacred door to the Mayan underworld Xibalba. They are wells of fresh water created by erosion of limestone, soft and porous.

These cenotes are part of the hydrography of the state, formed by underground rivers that join together. They're open caves, where the veins run through that show the many colors of limestone and sometimes discovered ceramics and Mayan ruins as well as aquatic fauna that inhabit these depths.

Silent with a cry

On the ledge
The leper walks
Soft-pawed

Lean and crisp
Telling jokes the old Jew told
Laughing with a lisp

1. The ruins, place to eat, talk, share, swap, and whatnot. There's a second set of ruins on the far left that was used at a kind of waterwheel thing. Possibly to wash the minerals and iron to melt down.

2. There's a lot of these wire wheels around here. Some are in good condition, and some are completly rusted away. Looks like this would still work it if was connected again. In the back you can see the pipes we use to communicate with each other.

3. An old track loader thingy that apparently has been here since 1989. It looks well preserved on the outside, but inside is totally decayed and gutted. One day it's going to collapse in on itself.

4. Outside one of the mines, but not accessible as it's totally blocked with rubble and wood. This one is right next door to Cyan Mine. It could very well have been conjoined with it.

5. Inside Cyan Mine. You can see how crowed it is in there, and usually only two at a time can go in. The bottom floor has Azurite veins and water from an underground source. The water smells like metal and looks bluish from the Azurite.

6. A large deep crevice that none of us could squeeze through. According to Josh, that's where the light might have come from, water is also seeping through it, which might be holding rainwater inside.

7. Our main prize! This was taken while the rock was still attached to the matrix (host rock). It's hard to chip away from it without breaking any of the pieces, but it's worth the time and patience to coax it out intact. While most of it is brittle, some can be worked into jewelry.

8. The mountains I showed you guys last time, for the sake of my love of being in high places. Because it's far from the city, we can blast some music here, and sing. The acoustics are great and makes a nice echo.

9. The very top (somewhat) of the same mountains, but facing away from the city. Quite a view up there, and would be great for star gazing if it wasn't so steep and rocky.

And that's it! Just thought I'd post these up before they get lost in my photo folder. I'll be getting a proper monthly log up soon. ]]>

The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
Darling you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me
You can hide 'neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Well now I'm no hero
That's understood
All the redemption I can offer girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now
Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow back your hair
Well the night's busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
Oh oh come take my hand
Riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road
Oh Thunder Road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey I know it's late, we can make it if we run
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold
Thunder RoadWell I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my car's out back
If you're ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open but the ride it ain't free
And I know you're lonely
For words that I ain't spoken
But tonight we'll be free
All the promises'll be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch they're gone
On the wind, so Mary climb in
It's a town full of losers
And I'm pulling out of here to win ]]>
