THE ARROW OF RA & WAYLAND SMITHY CROP CIRCLE 8^TH JULY 2006

 by Trevor J Ward

 

 

What does an ancient Chaldean Glyph, a symbol used by Freemasons called the Arrow of RA and the Wayland Smithy July 2006 pictogram have in common?

 

 

 

                      Figure 1     

Figure 8(a) the long line with two crossed bars upon it has for uncounted thousands of years been the special sign of the Supreme Being, with later variations.  

Figure 1 comes from the same symbol shown in the rare copy of C. W. Leadbeater's book, The Hidden Life of Freemasonry. Leadbeater says of this symbol:

“The figure is in this case the working mason’s square, an angle of ninety degrees, used fortesting the sides of a stone to see that they are at right angles to each other, and that therefore the wall built of them will stand perpendicular, safe and strong. The difference between the two kinds of squares will now be clearly seen. The quadrilateral is intended when we speak of the compasses as dominating the square, but this right angle is signified when we refer to the tool wherewith the Master measures and decides. Although the R.W.M. has this symbol of the square, he is in fact the Son governing and judging on behalf of the Father, who remains in the background, since our Lodges are of the Christ or Sun-God type.

In Egypt they had a symbol of very great significance, called the Arrow of Ra, which includes both the square of the R.W.M. and his gavel of office. (Plate VIII)

In our plate the different parts are separate, but sometimes they are joined together, and then one gets the effect of an arrow, whence it is named the Arrow of Ra, the Sun-God, who was also called Horus of the Double Horizon, the Son of Osiris and Isis, and yet a reincarnation of Osiris, God in evolu­tion. The lower portion of the drawing refers to His descent into matter, the inverted square signi­fying descent, and the angle beneath symbolizing the cavern of matter into which He went down. The upper square then indicates that He ascended or rose again. The symbol in the centre - that of the double axe - is that of the Most High God; so the complete glyph is thus a kind of symbolic creed, which for those who drew it affirmed their faith in the descent of the Deity into matter and His final triumphant ascension from it: “descended He; ascended He”. If we were to interpret it along lines of Christian symbology we might call it the emblem of the crucified and triumphant Christ; but it is also a token of the whole method of evolution.

This device appears in many places. It is to be seen in the museum of the Louvre in Paris, engraved upon a Chaldean intaglio made of green jasper [see above]. It is also to be found on the walls of some very old churches in Devonshire and Cornwall in England, where it must have been engraved by the wandering Freemasons who built those churches, for the orthodox Christians could have known nothing of it.”

Notice from Lucy Pringle’s photo above, I have overlayed in red where the Arrow of RA is encoded into the crop circle. In my opinion the Wayland Smithy crop glyph of 2006 is made up of a 12-pointed star/sun surrounded not by 3D ‘buildings’, but 12 Obelisks pointing towards the star/sun (in a sense standing up as if you are looking at them from underneath pointing upwards towards the sun or supporting the sun/star). Hence the reference to ‘Buzar’ the God of the deep mines is the decent into matter and appears from my point of view to be what was intended, in part by the ‘circlemaker’. Or, perhaps simply alter our perspective. In addition Obelisks are icons of the sun’s rays and used for both a celebration of the sun God RA and protection. However, have also been used as a timekeeper. The fact that there are 12 Obelisks may further enhance the view about this crop glyph as a timepiece.

 

The geometry and mathematics/numerology of the formation is interpreted as follows:

 

The star/sun seems to be produced from 12 equilateral triangles. [refer the work of Zef Damen of the Netherlands

see CCC url: http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/2006/uffington1/waylandsmithy2006reconstruction.html

 

12 equilateral triangles x 180⁰ = 2,160⁰ x 12 Obelisks = 25920⁰ the Precessional cycle of the Zodiac.

Also notice from the photo that each Obelisk has a diamond shaped base. This equates to 360⁰ x 12 = 4320⁰, which is also a well-documented time cycle number and as shown in the following website: http://www.greatdreams.com/432.htm

 

25920/4320 = 6, a number associated with balance & harmony and the sun. Of course, if added to year 2006 = 2012. Note 4320/2160 is an octave of 2:1. On top of this the circlemaker has added emphasis to 4320 by creating each Obelisk with 9 lines – from outside to centre on the basis of 4:3:2 = 9 - the number is associated in numerology as a ‘cycle’ number or completion/perfection.

 

I can only guess that when the star/sun is added to the Obelisk bases (2160+4320 = 6480 and divided by (12x9=108) it equals 60. Hence 6 is perfected by God. Also representing the Sumerian ‘SOSS” time number. Again we have 108,216 & 432, these are octaves of 1:2:4. A chord that runs across the top of the centre of the inner most of three concentric circles with diameters of 1:2:4 denotes the “golden section”. It’s clear from the Glyph there’s 3 spiral arms radiating in or out and that they are stepping up or stepping down in 3 steps on the basis of 1:2:4. Stand on one base and jump to the next.

 

I think it may be showing us from a 2D perspective a 3D viewpoint and may even be alluding to a 4^th dimension, which would I feel speed up time and our vibrations. The precession is 25920/6480 = 40 or 4 and of course the Obelisks are in 3 groups of four.

 

Getting back to the Arrow of RA, the only unusual aspect of this (when overlayed on the glyph) is that the * shape is separated on both sides of the star, like chevrons. You will recall earlier Leadbeater said that the * symbol on the Arrow of RA represents ascension. I see it as becoming a ‘Star’ or God-like. Is this a comment by the ‘circlemaker’ of our decent into matter separating us from becoming a ‘star’ or the re-joining with the ‘star peoples’. Note that < > shapes can also denote spirit/matter, male/female, duality and above/below. Is it foretelling a time when we (the 12 Obelisks representing 12 tribes) will realise we are no longer separated and at one in unity with spirit? Is the crop glyph telling us to lookup/rise up or look within to the internal flame? Is time ratcheting?

 

There is a connection with last years Wayland Smith formation, in the form of a calendar with four radiating arms that look like the sun's rays (perhaps flattened Obelisks without pyramidal tops). See Lucy Pringle photo: http://www.lucypringle.co.uk/photos/2005/uk2005cl.shtml

 

Our history is distorted and many things accepted as fact without direct experience. I believe, like others, that the crop circle formations are stimulating us to search for the truth about our past, particularly as many appear around ancient burial sites and other sacred places. Just to add to this check out the Howell crop formation in Michigan and investigation by Alex Palma on this website http://www.scatterdome.com/howell.htm. There seems to be eerie Masonic parallels between the both of the crop circle formations.

 

Having said all this, the questions still remain. Is all of this a mere co-incidence? Is this what was in the mind of the circlemaker? And, having read all of this, do you consider it just a hoax/man-made formation or the work of a ‘higher intelligence/consciousness’? I leave it for you to be the judge.
