James Swagger | Halloween is Not What it Seems... | Legalise Freedom Radio

Source: legalise-freedom.com, jamesswagger.com



James Swagger discusses the origins of Halloween. Most of us know little or nothing about the origins of Halloween. Beyond trick or treating, Jack-o’-lanterns and the piles of plastic bats and skulls that go from supermarket shelf to landfill in a matter of days, Halloween is by and large a mystery.

Some possess a vague awareness of its ancient past, but the profound connections with nature and the cosmos from which our age-old rituals arose have been erased from the collective consciousness by centuries of religious persecution and secular humanism. Delving deep into the dark past, we attempt to dig up the almost fathomless roots of Halloween, from the Christianization of Samhain and other Pagan festivals, to tales of sacred bonfires and bloody sacrifice, and alegends of a liminal time when the veil between the real and the unreal would be swept aside.

We also reflect on how modern mediocrity has twisted the heritage of high antiquity into a hollow cypher, a state-of-the-art bastardization that has transformed ancient rites into retail opportunities, vile and vulgar shadows of the ineffable and eternal. But all is not lost. Beyond the Celtic Revival, Neo-paganism, Wicca, Druidry and Heathenry, the primordial power of ages past is rising once more in the collective consciousness.

Disillusioned with the false promise of globalism, the mendacious lie of materialism, and shaken by the crumbling foundations of techno-industrial society, human beings the Earth over are seeking something better. Slowly at first, but with gathering awareness, we are rediscovering our birthright, long buried and forgotten. -legalise-freedom.com

James Swagger | The Irish & Scottish Origins of Halloween | Hour 1 | Oct. 29, 2014

Source: redicecreations.com, JamesSwagger.com



October 29, 2014–James Swagger is a researcher, field investigator and engineer who has dedicated the last 15 years of his life to researching megalithic sites and ancient cultures. James has been to over 400 megalithic tombs dotted across Europe, in addition to stone circles and henges in search of commonalities and design. James utilizes his engineering background as a systems analyst as a utility to reduce the complexity of ancient megalithic sites.

He returns to discuss the Irish and Scottish origins of Halloween. He’ll talk about the Irish/Scottish ‘Samhain’ festival originating in the British Isles about 1300 years ago. He’ll tell about Celtic pagan rituals that relate to the megalithic calendar and solar wheel. James says pagans inherited their solar worship from the megalith builders.

He also talks about how the church aimed to Christianize the Celtic pagans and how the shift from Hallows day became Hallows Eve or Halloween. In the second hour, we’ll hear about the mythology of spirits and inter-dimension beings at Halloween. He’ll talk about the Aos Si, banshees, witches, fairies and supernatural women of Ireland. We also hear about the Tuatha De Danann, a race of supernaturally-gifted people in Irish mythology. Later, we discuss other deities and festivals of pre-Christian Gaelic Ireland and variant branches of paganism. -redicecreations.com

Klaus Dona 'Ancient Artifacts & Australia Update'

Source: jamesswagger.com, unsolved-mysteries.info



Klaus Dona comes from the art world. As Art Exhibition Curator for the Habsburg Haus of Austria, Klaus has organized exhibitions world wide. With this background his approach to archeology is unconventional. He has traveled the world in search of unique and unexplained findings. Intrepid and unrelenting, he is on a mission to bring to the eye of the public such finds as giant bones, crystal skulls, carvings and sculptures in forms that do not fit into the contemporary view of our timeline.

We spent an afternoon with Klaus in Vienna talking at length about his process, his particularly stunning finds and why he is motivated to pursue this unusual vocation. Staunchly open minded, he refuses to retreat in the face of skepticism and doubt. Low on funding, he presses on to discover the real mysteries, going down through the centuries and excavating artifacts that science does not allow for, revealing the existence of physical proof that humanity has barely grazed the surface of our heritage here on Earth. -jamesswagger.com

James Swagger | The Newgrange Sirius Mystery, October 25, 2013

Source: redicecreations.com, jamesswagger.com

October 25, 2013–James Swagger was first introduced to topical science writing for a historical mysteries magazine in Ireland. He was trained as a Systems Analyst in the energy industry. He holds a Master degree in Engineering, Bachelors in Physics with Astronomy, and a Masters in Science, Research and Society. Initially, Swagger sought out the megalithic monuments of Western Europe in his spare time travelling around the UK, Ireland, and Denmark.

His embrace of a multidisciplinary approach to the research of megalithic sites, and the larger view of 'passage grave cosmology' produced his first book, "The Newgrange Sirius Mystery: Linking Passage Grave Cosmology with Dogon Symbology." James joins us from Ireland, to discuss his books and his research. In the first hour, we outline the megaliths in the Boyne valley.

We'll discuss the passage grave cosmology, archeoastronomy and archaeoacoustics. We focus on the relationship between the stars, the art and entoptic imagery. In the second hour, we'll speak more about megalithic acoustics. James profiles the builder, including who they were and what their purpose was. Then, we discuss Porcupine Bank, the sunken piece of land to the west of Ireland. There is a possibility that this was Hy-Brasil, the mythical island. Was this the origin of the builders of these monuments and ritual temples? Later, we discuss world-wide catastrophe which might have spawned the building of the megaliths as calendars and navigational star instruments. -redicecreations.com

James Swagger drops in to tell about his recent travels, notably to Peru, where he partook of the ayahuasca shamanic rites.

We discuss the effects of the ayahuasca, serpents, earht spirits, the Earth Goddess, and insights into expanding consciousnes; as well as his ongoing research into psychoacoustics (also known as archeoacoustics) in the ancient sites. James' research continues to cut deep into linking ancient mounds, burial sites, and megalithic structures to the rituals which enabled human consciousness to extend beyond its earthbound state. -offplanetradio.com

Trained as an engineer and employed in the energy industry, E. A. James Swagger sought out the megalithic monuments of western Europe in his spare time traveling around the UK, Ireland, and Denmark. His embrace of a multdisciplinary approach to the research of sites, and the larger view of grave passage cosmology produced his first book, "The Newgrange Sirius Mystery: Linking Passage Grave Cosmology With Dogon Symbology".

Newgrange is considered the most complex megalithic site in the world. It is Ireland’s most visited monument with around 250,000 visitor’s a year. This book delves into the astroarchaeology of Newgrange and the Boyne valley alongside the Loughcrew and Carrowkeel cemeteries with stunning revelations. This book is packed with brand new research and evidence suggests Newgrange was aligned also to Sirius as a crude precessional calculator. Newgrange it seems was the pinnacle of a theme of passage grave cosmology running throughout Ireland.

The show is a "primer" for anyone not familiar with passage graves, megalithic culture, and the broader implications of these sites, which appear to have been the product of an ancient migration of advanced, cosmologically aware people. Were these sites merely "crude time pieces", or do they point to something far more complex? We find out in 90 minutes with James Swagger.
