The Masonic Star Of Crieff

Masonic Compass and Dividers

This emblem is the compass and the set square,
one of the most powerful of Masonic symbols.

If you draw a line between the points of the set square, and another through the compasses you will form a six-pointed star. This is the symbol upon which the town of Crieff has been designed - an ancient  knowledge which has been lost.

The town of Crieff can be likened to a huge open-air Masonic Temple, "hidden" in full view.

The small market town of Crieff, Perthshire, situated close to the Highland Boundary Fault in the Scottish Highlands, has an unique association to the Freemasons, showing that they had mastery of the ancient esoteric knowledge of ley lines.

The ley line system is several thousand years old, and, around the early 1800s, a more modern design was superimposed upon the old.

Two of the streets, Burrell Street and King Street, meet at a point, like the bottom part of a star, and it is this which alerted me to the possibility that the town had been deliberately designed and planned as an esoteric symbol following an existing system of ley lines.

King Street, shown in the diagram, running vertically, has James Square at the top. The square, of course, is a well-known Masonic symbol, but Burrell street has an eight-sided square at the top, called the Octagon - so important that the Masonic Museum in the U.S.A. is also built to this design.

Between the two streets is (Masonic) Lodge Street leading into West High Street.

The angle between Burrell Street and King street is 24 degrees, reflecting another of the most important symbols in freemasonry - the 24 inch guage or ruler.
This layout has been superimposed upon a much older ley system laid down by our ancestors thousands of years ago.

KING STREET LEY LINE

Following the ley line down King street to the south I came to Dalchirla standing stone (below) at the edge of the ley.

and then, about 20 miles further on, the source, Dumbarton Castle, (below left), an ancient seat of the kings and a volcanic plug

To the north, this ley travels through a four-stone circle in the golf course and on to a double stone circle at Tullybelton, near Perth (above, right).

BURRELL STREET

Following the ley down Burrell Street to the south led me to a standing stone at Concraig Farm, (below)

The West High Street in Crieff, leading to Lodge Street, of course, should yield an interesting ley, which I duly followed to the west, until I came to a standing stone, part of a four-stone circle at Braefordie, Balmuick, near Comrie (below). This is the source of this ley, and is placed on top of a volcanic pluton, a volcano which never erupted.

Geomancy, the Masonic Town of Crieff, Scotland
  (Above:) The complete map of the ley line system through and around Crieff.  In the centre, the omphalos, is St. Michael's Church. Saint Michael was the dragon slaying saint, who pierced the ground with his sword or lance, creating the symbolic centre of any area.  The energies which power the ley come from volcanic plugs of Stirling Castle, Dumbarton castle rock and the volcanic pluton near Comrie.
You can see here that the modern streets were superimposed upon the ancient ley line system.

In addition, Ochtertyre mausoleum is situated on top of the Highland Boundary Fault and is part of a ley line through the centre of Crieff symbol to Innerpeffray Church and burial-ground (not shown on this map). Forty yards away, and still on the Highland Boundary Fault is the site of a Neolithic Chambered Burial Cairn.

Many of the old burial grounds in this area have been carefully placed above volcanic anomalies. Standing stones and circles have also been placed above lesser fault lines. 

Not only did they place their dead on fault lines, they used other faults to transmit ley lines through the same burial-grounds.

It is now obvious that the Freemasons had a profound knowledge of earth energies and used it to plan towns, cities, churches, cathedrals and burial-grounds in the United Kingdom, carrying their knowledge abroad to the United States, where they built the capital, Washington, and many others.
