Gt Holm Obelisk

Trip to GREAT HOLM

 We are sorry we’ve not done any new posts for ages.  We are extensively researching for a book we hope to write. Even if we don’t write a best selling opus, we hope to put the information out onto the Internet pretty soon. I’m afraid at the moment it is “Top Secret” but the subject matter is very exciting, making the reader take a unique look at an unlikely subject for Dowsing.

 Anyway – on to this post which is about a field trip we took on 31^st July 2012.

 Our aim - to dowse the Obelisk at Great Holm, Milton Keynes. We had read about it whilst researching our book and as there was very little about it on the internet our interest was piqued. Our starting point was Milton Keynes Railway Station as we decided to use our bus passes to take the bus rather than drive, although you can very easily reach it by road.  Leaving the station we walked across the overpass and into Loughton Park and then across the children’s circular play area. We walked along Redland Road into Linceslade Grove until we came to Holmgate, there we crossed Portway and we found ourselves in Great Holm, not as far away as we thought. We had read that Great Holm is one of the highest parts of Milton Keynes so we trudged up Attingham Hill (a steep climb!) to the top where the obelisk is situated.  Before the obelisk was in sight we had started to feel the energies and they weren’t very pleasant.

 

 The imposing obelisk is on an island in the middle of the road at the meeting point of Attingham Hill, (which ends there) Kensington Drive and Highgrove Hill. (I think you may have noticed by now that all the streets in Gt. Holm are named after stately homes and palaces!) It is a very modern, brick built housing estate. It is very strange and unnerving to find such a thing in such a place.

 The obelisk is made of brick, and is lit up at night by lights at its base. It is supposed to be 30 ft high, but does this include the base or foundations?  If not, it could possibly be 33 ft – a very significant number! There is no plaque or sign giving any information as to why it is there. Very strange indeed. Perhaps we are not supposed to know!

 Opposite the obelisk on the corner of Attingham Hill and Kensington Drive is a children’s play area. It slopes upwards and its uppermost point seems to be at the highest point in Great Holm. In fact, from here we could see much of Central Milton Keynes, including the Railway station, the Hub, the dome of Milton Keynes Church etc.

 

What’s more, there is a panoramic view for several miles around. Dunstable Downs, the mast at Bow Brickhill and Ivinghoe Beacon can be clearly seen. We have decided to return in the winter when the trees are bare and, hopefully, even more places will be able to be seen.

 The only part of Great Holm’s history that we can find, says it was known for its many springs. We noticed a building on one the the corners was called Spring Rise. Together with it being such a high point could it have been a sacred site? Is this why the obelisk is here?  We walked around the obelisk and picked up strong energies which our rods confirmed as negative. At first we thought these energies were coming from the obelisk but on dowsing found that they were flowing to the obelisk.  By doing a question and answer dowsing session we think that the obelisk is a collection point for these negative energies which are then neutralized and sent up into the ether. As the energies dissipated not far from the obelisk we think that it is protecting much of the estate. So even though we didn’t particularly like the obelisk we think it is doing quite a good job although our rods thought it wasn’t big enough or powerful enough to encompass the entire estate. We think the obelisk is actually protecting the sacred site.

All obelisks are masculine and usually have a feminine dome to counteract the negative masculine energies but we couldn't find any domes but it is set into a circular island, circles being feminine. Another thought as to why the energies were negative is that underground water courses can actually cause them!  If you want to research this phenomenon further Google ‘Geopathic stress’ for more information.
