TOPIC: What's with blue horses? Kelpies Scotland

A massive art installation at Falkirk has been lit up for the first time.

The Kelpies, two towering statues of horse heads, will open to the public after a night-time launch event.

A lighting test has provided a sneak peek of the two 300 tonne, 30m (100ft) tall sculptures in their prime.

Thousands are expected to attend the launch of artist Andy Scott's creations, which will feature light, sound and flames in a pyrotechnic spectacle next week.

The launch takes place on 17 and 18 April, and members of the public will have the chance to tour the structures from the following Monday.

The completion of the £5m sculptures just off the M9 motorway is a key milestone in the £43m Helix project, which is transforming 865 acres (350 hectares) of land between Falkirk and Grangemouth.

It is hoped the redevelopment will attract 350,000 visitors a year, bringing in £1.5m of extra tourism revenue.

The Ashvins or Ashwini Kumaras (Sanskrit: अश्विन āśvin-, dual āśvinau), in Hindu mythology, are two Vedic gods, divine twin horsemen in the Rigveda, sons of Saranya (daughter of Vishwakarma), a goddess of the clouds and wife of Surya in his form as Vivasvat. They symbolise the shining of sunrise and sunset, appearing in the sky before the dawn in a golden chariot, bringing treasures to men and averting misfortune and sickness.

The Ashvins can be compared with the Dioscuri (the twins Castor and Pollux) of Greek and Roman mythology, and especially to the divine twins Ašvieniai of the ancient Baltic religion.

Astrolatry is the worship of stars and other heavenly bodies as deities, or the association of deities with heavenly bodies. The most common instances of this are sun gods and moon gods in polytheistic systems worldwide. Also notable is the association of the planets with deities in Babylonian, and hence in Greco-Roman religion, viz. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

Castor and Pollux are consistently associated with horses in art and literature. They are widely depicted as helmeted horsemen carrying spears.

Poseidon (/pɵˈsaɪdən/; Greek: Ποσειδῶν, pronounced [pose͜edɔ́͜ɔn]) is one of the twelve Olympian deities of the pantheon in Greek mythology. His main domain is the ocean, and he is called the "God of the Sea". Additionally, he is referred to as "Earth-Shaker"[1] due to his role in causing earthquakes, and has been called the "tamer of horses".[2] He is usually depicted as an older male with curly hair and beard.

There is a Homeric hymn to Poseidon, who was the protector of many Hellenic cities, although he lost the contest for Athens to Athena. According to the references from Plato in his dialogue Timaeus and Critias, the island of Atlantis was the chosen domain of Poseidon.

In his benign aspect, Poseidon was seen as creating new islands and offering calm seas. When offended or ignored, he supposedly struck the ground with his trident and caused chaotic springs, earthquakes, drownings and shipwrecks. Sailors prayed to Poseidon for a safe voyage, sometimes drowning horses as a sacrifice; in this way, according to a fragmentary papyrus, Alexander the Great paused at the Syrian seashore before the climactic battle of Issus, and resorted to prayers, "invoking Poseidon the sea-god, for whom he ordered a four-horse chariot to be cast into the waves

Rapid Trident 2014 is designed to "promote regional stability and security, strengthen partnership capacity and foster trust while improving interoperability between the land forces of Ukraine, and NATO and partner nations," according to the US forces in Europe website.

German researchers Siegfried and Christian Schoppe locate Atlantis in the Black Sea. Before 5500 BC, a great plain lay in the northwest at a former freshwater-lake. In 5510 BC, rising sea level topped the barrier at today's Bosporus. They identify the Pillars of Hercules with the Strait of Bosporus.[41] They gave no explanation how the ships of the merchants coming from all over the world had arrived at the harbour of Atlantis when it was 350 feet below global sea-level.

They claim Oreichalcos means the obsidian stone that used to be a cash-equivalent at that time and was replaced by the spondylus shell around 5500 BC, which would suit the red, white, black motif. The geocatastrophic event led to the neolithic diaspora in Europe, also beginning 5500 BC.

In 2000, the Guardian reported that Robert Ballard, in a small submarine, found remains of human habitation around 300 feet underwater in the Black Sea off the north coast of Turkey. The area flooded around 5000 BC. This flood is also believed to have inspired the Biblical story of Noah's Ark known as the Black Sea deluge theory.

Another candidate bordering the Black Sea, suggested by Hasan Umur in the 1940s, would be Ancomah, a legendary place near Trabzon.

In 1994, Klaus Schmidt, of the German Archaeological Institute, who had previously been working at Nevalı Çori, was looking for another site to lead a dig. He reviewed the archaeological literature on the surrounding area, found the Chicago researchers’ brief description of Göbekli Tepe, and decided to give it another look. With his knowledge of comparable objects at Nevalı Çori, he recognized the possibility that the rocks and slabs were parts of T-shaped pillars.

The following year, he began excavating there in collaboration with the Şanlıurfa Museum. Huge T-shaped pillars were soon discovered. Some had apparently been subjected to attempts at smashing, probably by farmers who mistook them for ordinary large rocks.[7] The nearby Gürcütepe site - also Neolithic - was not excavated until 2000

He died on July 20, 2014, of a heart attack.

Battles of Falkirk

Two important battles have taken place at Falkirk:

The Battle of Falkirk fought on 22 July 1298, saw the defeat of William Wallace by King Edward I of England.
The Battle of Falkirk Muir took place on 17 January 1746, the Jacobites under Charles Edward Stuart defeated a government army commanded by Lieutenant General Henry Hawley.

In Ireland we have evidence of skilled Operative Masons very far back in time. We can state with pride that Irish Freemasons were involved before “Warranted Masonry”, and subsequently, in promoting and developing the Craft in, what were then styled, “The Colonies”. Irish Lodges were warranted in many “British” Regiments, though often mainly manned by Irishmen. The Ist Irish or Blue Horse, later the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards had its Warrant issued by Grand Lodge on 24th June, 1758. This Warrant is still held in the 4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards and the Lodge is working in West Germany, where the Regiment is stationed as part of the NATO Defence Forces. This is our last truly Travelling Warrant which remains of 185 Warrants issued in Artillery, Cavalry and Foot Regiments of the Line, as well as 43 Warrants in Irish Militia and Fencible Regiments. Our only other survivor, Glittering Star Lodge No. 322 originally warranted in the 29th Foot in the following year, 1759, was working in Boston in 1765 where on St. John’s Day, December 27th, 1769, it helped form the “Ancient” Grand Lodge of that State, and some years later it was in Quebec. These contacts, no doubt later on when the Regiments moved away, led to applications for Regular Warrants from the local Freemasons, made in those Lodges, who were left behind; and so the Craft spread.

The city of New York is a chosen city selected by the Illuminati long ago to be the pivotal point by which the world will be changed. That is why that city is known as the Capital of the World. The city now has an area which is held in sacred awe and is called "ground zero." Ground zero is a term, which is usually used to indicate an area devastated by an atomic weapon or where a bomb directly hits. This "zero point", however, has a vital meaning in the world of the occult and in the minds of the occultic scientists that work for the Illuminati. Here is how the upper-level witches and illuminists define ground zero or zero point as they call it. "Zero point is the amount of vibrational energy associated with matter, as the parameters defining that matter decline to zero. To an observer, the world at zero point appears to be very still, while the participant experiences a quantum restructuring of the very boundaries that define the experience. Earth and our bodies are preparing for the Zero Point experience of change, collectively known by the ancients as The Shift of the Ages." (9)

That zero point of pivotal change for the entire world called ground zero is now being used as an area of spiritual significance in the realm of the occult. To mark that zero point spot or ground zero where the twin towers once stood, the area now has a memorial of two columns of light to illuminate the place of recent devastation. The 88 high-wattage, xenon spotlights project two blue beams or towers of light high into the night sky. (10) This memorial is called the "Tribute of Light" and is saturated with occult significance. When I was an astrologer before my conversion, I believed, as all astrologers do, that there is a harmony in the heavens called "the music of the spheres." The occultists believe that this music of the gods and goddesses is sacred, and the 88 lamps of light, which reach out to the heavens, answer to the 88 cataloged constellations of stars. There are precisely 88 of these constellations or groups of stars involved in this supposed spiritual music. That is why there are 88 keys on the keyboard of a piano. The towers of light were first activated on the 6th month anniversary of the fallen towers or March 11, 2002. On this 11th day of the sixth month, it was announced that the lights would be on from 11 A.M. until 11 P.M. and would continue for one month. It was then decided and announced that the light towers would continue to shine from March 11 until April 13 and thus form a gigantic blue numeral 11 over the skies of New York City for 33 days. (11) We must pay attention to these numbers, because they reveal beyond any stretch in the realm of coincidence that occult forces are at work. The 11th sign of the zodiac in astrology is Aquarius, and this is said to be the Aquarian age. The number 13 is the most powerful number in witchcraft and is the number of a coven in ancient tradition. The number 33 is the number sacred to the Scottish Rite of the secret society known as Freemasonry. Thus, we have an occult bridge of time, known as a rite of passage, lasting 33 days between two dates involving an eleventh and crossing a full moon to the 13th day of the following month.

Responding to the rumours, Perry told Rolling Stone: “If the Illuminati exist, I would like to be invited. I see all that shit and I’m like: ‘Come on, let me in! I want to be in the club

Within Freemasonry, the color blue is a symbol of universal friendship and benevolence, as it is the color of the vault of heaven. Blue is the only color other than white which should be used in a Master’s Lodge for decorations.

Lucifer's color is blue, blue being the color of the sky and water representing that Lucifer is all around and within us. That Lucifer is the prime element/energy that motivates and cultivates our world. Other colors Lucifer is associated with are white and silver, so accordingly altar pentagrams must be surrounded by blue with a silver/white pentagram with a black borde
