Book Description
IRISH SYMBOLS tells how the riddle of thirty or so symbols at Ireland's Knowth, Newgrange, Fourknocks mounds, at Loughcrew stone circle and other ancient sites in the Boyne valley have at last been deciphered. Stone inscriptions tell of mankinds? prehistoric concept of the world; the earth's flat plain with the Sun and Moon circling inside an overhead hemispherical bowl sky sprinkled with stars.The Boyne valley symbols tell of a Sun calendar, five day weeks, four weeks a month, sixteen months a year of 365 days. Eight annual seasonal events; the solstice and the equinox with four quarter days were an integral part and cornerstones of the Sun calendar. A Moon calendar of five day weeks, six weeks a month, twelve months a year of 354 nights was in use. Welsh and Irish evidences from 4270 BC, 3500 BC and 3200 BC were succeeded by third millennium English calendar building at Stonehenge about 2500 BC. Mankind's oldest calendars in history are the Rhondda Calendar, a first evidence of writing in human history found in Wales, Ireland's Boyne Valley symbols, millennia before Middle East civilizations. The sea-linked peoples of the north-west observed Sun and Moon calendars for four thousand years until Roman times.The legends and myths of Ireland are directly related to the stone engravings. Symbolic numbers such as five, nine, eleven, twenty-seven and thirty-three have continuity through the stories, numbers had important symbolism as well as value. Thirty-three symbolism is a feature of four major religions in today's world. ISBN 978-0-646-96029-2

Book Description
72: Celestial Logbooks of the Gold and Copper Invaders describes the bright celestial objects that were used for calendars and navigation for the last 10,000 years. This required counting and measuring angles which the prehistory and even pre-Ice Age cultures knew. This enabled these cultures to hunt, gather, and explore by boat looking for precious metals to sustain their cultures. Initial editorial reviews: "WOW, Magnificent, Beyond Significant." Jim Egan, Curator, Newport Tower Museum: "Brilliant out of the box thinking." A past Kirkus Review stated: "...McMahon's reasoning is far from far-fetched... with an elegantly simple process of following history's clues...the ancient rock art symbols of seafaring communication." Lonnie Davis, Curator Historian, Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park, "Eye-opening .... The blinders finally came off!" The following bright celestial objects are described and analyzed: Sun: circles, rectangles, diamonds, spirals, and solstice latitudes Moon: crescents, circles, rectangles, and lunar standstill latitudes Venus (72): hearts, rectangles, pentagons, and relative longitudes Sirius and Canopus: the eyes as pointer stars to the North and South Pole stars North Pole stars: Polaris, Thuban, Vega, and Deneb as the golden 30° rectangle Winter Triangle: Orion, the hunter, and his dogs, the equilateral triangle Summer Navigation Triangle: Northern Cross as passageways and chronometers Golden Location Triangle: Libra, le Balance, what is shipped is received The celestial object's geometries were built into a culture's mound and temple structures becoming celestial observatories. These were sacred because they represented information concerning the locations of mines, storage facilities, harbors, temples, and "home." Geometric diffusionism came from the westward-bound seafaring explorers with their roots coming from the Fertile Crescent. Celestial counting and geometries form a universal calendar and navigation language. The rock art shows the actual relative latitudes to the Sun solstices and Venus-based relative longitudes to a prime starting location of island locations (stargates) that were associated with the seafaring trips in search of gold and copper.

Book Description
Probably the oldest known spiritual discipline, shamanism is the timeless art of living in harmony with creation, providing a universal system to work with today, whatever our religion or spiritual affiliation may be. A reflection of a living tradition with a supremely practical approach to life, it teaches skills for living and ways to utilize latent abilities which we all possess. Celtic Shamanism derives from the native traditions of North-West Europe. The shamanic contribution of the Celts and their predecessors has been overlooked until recently, and is one of the last shamanic traditions to be explored. While it shares common elements with American, Australian and Siberian teachings, it derives entirely from Celtic source material. The Celtic Shaman offers a varied and easily followed plan of self-tuition for anyone interested in Celtic mythology and the Western mysteries.
