Come to the sacred circle, a place for healing

[Karen Moore McKenzie]

Welcome to the sacred circle! Leave your ego and greed and negativity at the door! This thread is a place to bring good tidings to all who dare to enter. This is a place to share the love we have inside our inherited spirits and souls. This circle is non denominational and everyone on earth who has an intent of goodwill toward all men and women is welcome here. This is more than just a group hug, this is us, making the world a better place! We are by now, aware that our common ancestors formed sacred circles, and they did their best to keep the circle unbroken. There is no heirarchy or power of one human over another here, we are all truely on the same field. Let us all be more forgiving, give of ourselves the peace this world needs to flourish in a possitive manner and purpose. There is far too much hatred on this planet, and there will never be enough love, so lets do our part to tollerate, to reach out, to love, to offer a place for healing of the soul. The Mor/Muir/Mure/O'More/Moore/Mohr/Moir family have suffered enough! Let's not let the devil tear us down any further in his attempt to pit brother against brother, and to remove our cause to our own religions. Let us join hands here, be at peace, and help each other stay focused on our mission to be free, and loving people.
I LOVE YOU ALL! Do you feel the warmth of my hand, the sincerity of my heart?
HUGS TO EVERYONE TODAY!!!!!
Love Karen

What did the ancestors do at these circles?

[Karen Moore McKenzie]

There is a circle of stones in Colorado that some call a medicine wheel, but it seems to me a bit different than the typical native american medicine wheel. Some argue that this one is not authentic, but those folks want to drill oil there, so of course they would say it isnt real. :(

I JOHN RED EAGLE say Hanta Yo
what size are the stones ......... does there be a short back wall..... the side facing the stones... faceing which direction........ask the elders of the signficiants of that......comfort your self knowing that it is real
and oil men can go elsewhere

If you will, go find a free music site on the internet, or buy this albumand listen to it while you are here in the circle. "Celtic Woman World 2007" 'The Voice' sung by Lisa, and 'The Prayer' sung by Chloe. The entire album is superb! Scarborough Fair and Shennendoah are also meaningful songs.

It was hard for me to enter the knowledge of the Civil War in America, where my ancestors fought and became the men they were. They had to fight their own brothers, and relatives across the borders. The same repeated event that had happened in Ireland, and before that in Scotland and before that in Jerusalem. So when we mortals seeking our destiny, have the call to come home, is that call to Jerusalem? Do we have to flee from every home we have ever known? ....where are we going now? Do we stand togather? or have we fallen apart? God help us find our way home in peace, this I pray today.

I hope a teacher will come into my life and help me find my peace and understanding of this life. I realize we all make a difference. I wonder what difference I have made?

Does anyone know the real history of Ninstane Rigg circle near Hermitage castle where Lord William de Soulis was slain? Are there any carvings on any of the stones there? Have any archaeoloical excavations been carried out there? Which circle in all of Scotalnd (and what became part of England), is the oldest? Should I come to Scotland to study these circles and carvings?

Thanks Cheryl,
I will do that for sure. I have been looked upon in my field as if I am nuts, lol but I know I am right about these pictographs. They are misunderstood by modern humans so they destroy that which they do not understand. It is a shame, so it is. It brings me to a higher form of spirituality. In the canyon where the angel rock shelter is located, also has an eagles nest, an ancient one, the place was chosen for many naturally occuring formations and this eagles nest. I got goosebumps many times being there. You know what was the coolest? An elk bugled one fall equinox when I was there and it echoed through the canyon. I had never heard anything so beautiful and felt so welcome in such a place.

Can anyone help get a photo of the arms of Mure above the Rowallan loft of the Fenwick church? I would be grateful yet again!

I am struggling. I need to affirm my faith. " I am in honor and favor with God and Man", I keep reciting that.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever AMEN.

[Karen Moore McKenzie]

I want to know more about my heritage and culture, and I need to learn how to forgive those who trespassed against us, I have been struggling with that. Once I master it, maybe it will set me free again.

I have spent the better part of my life trying to solve my own mystery of my life through the understanding of my cultural geneaology. I was born and lived in a free country, without a great understanding of what it took for this place to be such a free place to be. I knew in my heart there was a great sadness in our past, but I had no idea who my ancestors were other than my great grandfather Burton Moore, to know what the sadness was about. My journey through the records and oral traditions and original photographs led to the advancement of my knowledge of history. I was frusterated that I didnt have a certain connection as to Burtons father who was listed as Joseph in the family records, and his wife was named Rebecca, but nothing more about them. In 2004, I was on the internet at work one night shift as a dispatcher for an oil well fracturing and cementing company that I was trying to stay awake for my full 12 hours, and I found a website that had the geneaology of Joseph and Rebecca on it. I was elated to say the least! I tried to contact the webmaster and he did respond. I was so excited to see he had been researching my family line! I found the cousins that are in my line and began to intensely find all the rest of those who I knew were our own. That website carried me back to Joseph's father Burt and I met a cousin who had done intense research and found that Joseph (1)'s father was Patrick, and she had found his land on Miry creek,in what was once Brunswick, then Lunnenburg then Halifax County VA I learned how tough it is to find someone, when the counties changed so often and the records may be stored in the old or the new county courthouse, or may have been destroyed in battles surrounding the making of the United States. I read for days to find what was happening at the time to those ancestors I had found. I was looking for a connection on my Berry side of the family, that was said to have decended of John Locke who married Elizabeth Berry. I was not sure I had the right John Locke, but I am glad I researched the philosephe John Locke, because I learned the most world history by reading everything I could about him and what he wrote and lived through. I paid attention to the details, and connected him to Sir / Saint Thomas More and his story. They had both been to Oxford, both went to Flanders, both penned works to devise a free country. 'Utopia' by More and 'Two treatises of Government' by Locke, after learning that I started to put clues and associations togather the "patriotic cause of Freedom in America", I needed to know this to continue my journey to figure out why my Patrick was in Lunnenburg county VA which became Halifax, and why there was a John Hancock,Benjamin Harrison, and a Thomas Paine or Payne on the Miry creek property togather in 1771 with a John Moore who had been a known relative of ours. There was also a man named Moore Matlock who I didnt realise til later but may have been associated with the man said to have penned the Declaration of Independence, (Timothy Matlock?). I had to bone up on all I could find about the Revolution. I found the name Moore all over the battle paths. I had to find my Moores out of a haystack of men with the same names, that was the frusterating part, but it helped me understand the movement of all these men who had the cause of freedom as the goal. I hadnt even started to investigate the Religious persecutions or why my Moores left Ulster and came to MA moved to PA then VA with titles of Gentleman and Hugh, brother of my Joseph was the first Constable of what became Halifax County VA in 1752. I knew the title Gent. was important, but I didnt know how yet. My cousin Ruth whom I fear has passed away, had told me we were "rejected" as being the "prominent Moores" of that area, that caused a wound of rejection and the question of why? I shouldnt be surprised. I move forward without losing confidence of my mission. I paid attention to the clues in the court records and church records, and they are tied to Ayrshire or Aire which is also a part of Northern Ireland and the land of Strangers, Donegal, Ulster where my Patrick and his sons,were said to have come from. Then I began my history search of Scotland. I had never known any history of Scotland growing up, it was not a subject that was brought up or taught. I used my own logical thinking to link my searches to get to the answers I have found. I am definatly humbled by my research thus far. I am not finished in my journey to the truth, but I have the DNA haplogroup assigned as 2% "significant" to Northern Ireland and 1% Scotland men whom we matched closest, and that means Ulster Gaelic Scots. I now know why I am a wee bit different, why I went on this journey swimming upsteam against the tide of those who thought it would do me no good to know it. I am not at the final result yet, but I can now rest easier knowing that the great sadness was partly because of being denied our blood culture and traditions and religions, and now that I know where my blood came from, I can now focus on learning what the Gaelic culture believed in, and I can feel the bravery of every generation ahead of me inside my soul. I am at peace.
