St Michael's Mount, Marazion, Cornwall...

Picture
St Michael's Mount 1
St. Michaels Mount, Cornwall was once named Dinsul, meaning Castle or citadel of the Sun. St. Michael's Mount still retains its Cornish name of 'Karrek Loos y'n Koos', meaning the 'Grey rock in the Woods' (a remarkable memory of more than 3,800 years, since  the forest surrounding it has been submerged since at least 1,850 BC. It was here – where an ancient stone chair stands at the entrance to the castle – that according to legend, a vision of the Archangel St Michael appeared to some fishermen in the year 495.  Legend says that a mythical giant named Cormoran once lived on the Mount, and he used to wade ashore and steal cows and sheep from the villagers to feed his gargantuan appetite. One night, a local boy called Jack rowed out to the island and dug a deep pit while the giant was asleep. As the sun rose, Jack blew a horn to wake the angry giant who staggered down from the summit and – blinded by the sunlight – fell into the pit and died.

St. Michael's Ley Line...

This is probably the most famous ley-line in the world. It runs across England  from the tip of Cornwall to the Eastern tip of Norfolk on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, passing through the prehistoric sites of The Hurlers, Glastonbury Tor/St. Michaels Church, Avebury, Waulads Bank  and numerous other significant sites either named after St. Michael or St. George, both dragon slaying saints.
