Cromlech: Encyclopedia II - Almendres Cromlech - Almendres Menhir

A few kilometers from the megalitc complex stands the Almendres Menhir, a single standing menhir from the same period. ...

Huge prehistoric unworked stone resting atop two other upright stones. Used as a gateway or entrance to the underworld. To be distinguished from Cromlech (which is a kind of womb). The Druids apparently preferred monoliths, although Stonehenge, an ancient Druidic temple, contained both. The reason for that is that the Druids themselves customarily practiced on the sites of pervious, prehistoric stone circles of unknown origin. Dolmen sites were connected to one another by paths aligned in patterns called "ley lines" to form lattices of occult energy.

Cromlech: Mysticism Magick Dictionary on CHESS

CHESS

Several metaphysicians (Crowley, Shallis, Carroll, etc.) have suggested that chess is really a medieval computer simulacrum, a magical model of the world, or of Time, in which various forces confront one another. The black and white squares are happenings of evil mixed with good. The pieces are fixed stages of mental development. The pawns are ordinary mentalities, with few choices open to them, who can move but forward in hope of eventual enlightenment (embodied in the queen). The knight is the initiate, the bishop ecclesiastical power, the castle or rook temporal power. The king, of course, is the inner self or life-force revealed at death or apotheosis, depending on whether one wins or loses. One's opponent king is the source of the tyranny of the outside world, the "other" that the self must battle. Originally the game was played with four players, each having four pieces and four pawns - with no queens.

Ithell Colquhoun notes that Yeats and the Celts before him (fidchell) had a chessboard representing the four gates to the cities of the four elements and in which the squares were cromlechs - mystic, upright stones. Gwenddolen, in Arthurian legend, is said to have possessed an enchanted chessboard that played by itself.

Cromlech: Encyclopedia II - County Antrim - History

At what date the county of Antrim was formed is not known, but it appears that a certain district bore this name before the reign of Edward II (early 14th century), and when the shiring of Ulster was undertaken by Sir John Perrot in the 16th century, Antrim and Down were already recognized divisions, in contradistinction to the remainder of the province. The earliest known inhabitants were of Celtic origin, and the names of the townlands or subdivisions, supposed to have been made in the l3th century, are pure Celtic. Antrim was exposed to the inroads of the Danes, and also of the northern Scots, who u ...
