The
Homeopathic Proving of 'Calculus Orbis' from Stanton
Drew Stone Circle
Stanton
Drew Stone Circle is about six miles south of Bristol.
This proving
was made from small fragments of stone from 3 of the great circle stones and
was potentised and produced at Ainsworths
Homeopathic Pharmacy by Jon Lee.
(From the
Great Circle)
Stanton
Drew Stone Circle stands in a field south of Bristol, in the village of the
same name, in Somerset. It isn't as popular, or as visited as Avebury or Stonehenge. It doesn't have a tourist-shop or
somewhere to buy a
souvenir or
a cream-tea and consequently isn't covered in litter, which is nice. There is
an honesty-box on the gate leading in and the stones are owned by English
Heritage but the land is privately owned.
It's
possible to visit the stones and never see another human being (!!) and the
most I've ever seen there when I've visited is two other couples. The grass is
cut regularly and sometimes cows but mostly sheep graze there
and scratch
themselves on some of the larger stones, leaving little clumps of wool on the
stones.
There are
three circles. A small one behind a fence on another plot of land to the right
of the big circle.
The Great
Circle comprises of 27 stones and is over 370 feet across, making it one of the
biggest megalithic rings except for Avebury 2. and
there is another circle at the bottom of the field with the largest stones.
There is a
story that revolves around a wedding party where the guests/musicians were
dancing on Sabbath, and the devil turned them to stone. But these sorts of
stories lie with a lot of circles and add to their mystique.
Personally
I feel it detracts from the true nature of stone circles, as I see them as
meeting places, not somewhere where devils lie.
In a
Stone-Age society, stone was the most important medium. It was used for making
knives and spears. Stone was also worshipped, as there is some suggestion that,
for them, it represented eternity i.e. this stone will be
here.................forever.
Well, as it
is, these stones have stood here for an awfully long time. For at least 4500
years. According to The Oxford Dictionary of Current English a generation is 30
years (the average time in which children are ready to
take the
place of parents), that's 150 generations of people that have existed since
they were first placed there. And they are still there.
The
suggestion is, the circles weren't built to be circles but as places for the
'community' to do whatever that community does.
As Mike
Pitts says "We have been blinded by monumentality. In Europe medieval
churches and cathedrals impress us with their mass, their architectural power
and their permanence. Yet we forget that when they were built,
they were
not treasured antiques, but centres of vision and
activity; of music , singing, chanting, speech; of ceremonies, from inductions
of bishops to the burial of kings; of the largest gatherings of people ever
seen in their districts................the possibility that some ceremonies
demanded altered states of mind, a symbolic but definitely not scientific
interest in the sun and moon, and the recurrent presence of human remains-we
need to think not
only of
such things, but also of the living people themselves, their thoughts and their
actions".
In some
ways, this proving released not only the energy of the stones themselves, but
also what may have happened in this stone circle. People met, traded, made
friends, maybe even got married, looked at the stars, moon or sun,
made vows,
had fun, discussed things...................we don't know but the words of the provers give us an insight into what may have gone on
there. There is also the consideration, that these aren't ordinary stones, they
were moved
and will
they have a memory of that movement?
My older
sister, Lucy, first introduced me to Stanton Drew Stone Circle when I moved to
Bath from London. It lies in a large field occupied by sheep and overlooks an
expanse of green, with hills in the distance and a river just below the last
few stones. I am, I admit, a Stone Circle fan, but I am no expert.
At some
point in the year 2000, I decided to make a remedy from the stones, having just
completed my first proving 'Tempesta' , the storm
remedy. Some time in the summer I took some small shards of loose stone from 3
of
the stones
and it wasn't until the Autumn of that year, that I got round to sending them
to John Lee at Ainsworths to be made into a remedy.
We discussed the best way to make the remedy and decided that soaking overnight
in alcohol would be the best option as I wanted to return the samples I had
taken, back to their 'home'.
On the
morning of 13th November 2000, John made the remedy and posted me a 7g bottle
of 6c potency. Over the next few years, I tried a few, gave a few away to
clients, gave some to a 'Tempesta' prover who kindly kept a
record
(which mysteriously fits in with the provers
symptoms?) and there the bottle sat, on my remedy shelf, in my office, until
2004 when I decided, now was the time, to finally get round to doing the
proving and releasing
the
energies of the remedy. Little did I know, until completing the proving, the I
was already being influenced by the remedy's energies. It took over 3 years for
me to 'get the strength' to organise the proving. It
seems an
equally
long time for me to finally sit at the PC and write this up. There is no 'rush'
in this remedy, no 'need for speed'.
The provers began their journals on Monday 26th January and on
Monday, February the 2nd 2004 they all took the remedy at 9 h. (except one who
forgot and took it the next day and one who took it at 21 h.). They continued
with their
journals until Sunday 29th February when they all anti-doted the remedy with
one dose of Sulphur 6c. (except one prover who'd so enjoyed the positive effects of the remedy,
she decided to have another dose to keep!)
N.B.Prover
number 12 took the remedy over 4 consecutive days in a 2 week period in 2001
and took more than 3 months to actually send me her notes!
During the
month of the proving, of the 12 provers, one visited Avebury, four visited Stanton Drew Stone Circle itself and
one dreamt of Salisbury Plain (where Stonehenge lies). No-one knew what they
had taken!

"Want
to go somewhere where there is no pressure, no hassle, no boundaries, no upset
people, no hate or anxiety, just want to feel free in the sun, or the wind or
the rain, or all of them."
Themes of
Stanton Drew Stone Circle
This remedy
affected the provers to a big degree, they were
tired, with low energy, heavy, the opposite of light-headed and energised and they felt better in company or groups. They
felt better in natural places, energised in
nature,
they wanted to connect with nature. They wanted to eat comfort foods but were
concerned about what they ate. One prover wrote
"Eaten reasonably healthily but feel like a huge bloated pig, haven’t
shifted the weight I've put on since taking the tablet, I'm aware that it could
just have been an excuse to eat loads", when 3 days before she wrote
"Lost 1/2 stone last night, my weight fluctuates really drastically so I'm
not worried but it shows that you can shift it by dancing and not eating
everything you see!"
All the provers had some sort of emotional 'issue' that got brought
up. They dealt with it by 'speaking their truth', ate loads of carbs to get the energy for this but still ended up
exhausted,
BECAUSE OF
THE EMOTIONAL INTENSITY OF THE ISSUE.
This got
released by the 'truth speaking' and also in 'watery dreams', then they managed
to 'move on'.
On the
mental level there was the theme of knowing what they wanted but being
prevented from having it/enjoying it by an outside force. This went as far as a
prover dreaming about this and he summarises
beautifully this very idea:
Prover 7:
Day 8: 'P
and I are sitting in our house with sunlight streaming in through the back door
- summer day, country garden. Some bloke filming comes in the back door and
comes across to where we are sitting and starts filming our view. This really
pisses me off. P has raised her voice - can't work out if she is angry or
trying to warn me to be calm. After trying to understand what is going on I
punch the guy in the face - should have knocked anyone flying
but he
doesn't move. He is carrying a big TV on a strap and is using an LCD projector
to film??!!? After some time - closing recall - I ask the guy to go and he
does. He's not bothered by me hitting him. Feel a bit stupid for attacking this
guy, but justified as he interrupted our idyllic scene.'
Day 3:
" Seem to be in some bizarre episode of Angel & I'm Spike. We go
stamping across a muddy field to some ramshackle wooden hut inside is some poor
attempt at a magic circle, it's only two feet across and wonky. Inside are two
knives- OK we have found the talismans of thingamybob-they
look like cheap cutlery. I pick one up, "That's this spell/ritual put to
an end.", I'll just break this and it's job done. Someone in the group is
shouting @ me not to break it, very agitated person. The witch (????)
appears-great big ugly biffa of a woman-time to leg
it. We all go running down a mud track chased by this woman (wild grey hair).
Me with the talisman/knife in my hand until we start to run into what looks
like a travellers camp, confused-waking up now."

shop to get marshmallow drink & a sack of coal. Trying
to get
directions from the lady sending me ............I encountered some kids on the
way who treated me like an outsider (lack of uniform).
Day 7 :
"Flying again, teaching people how to fly, showing them what is possible.
I had a child with me this time, a small boy who I was carrying. There were
hundreds of people, lots of fields and attractions, like a theme park. There was
one show where the audience were seated, lots of Americans. The presenter was
introducing a pop idol, an ethnic man, who started to sing. The audience had to
write their date of Birth on a piece of paper & their surname. It was a
psychological mind bending trick. One of the Americans from the stage came to
me, he had the same surname & DOB, he kissed me."
Prover 11
Day
4:"Dreamt I was walking towards The Royal Crescent, there were hundreds of
people around so it must have been a festival".
Prover 5
Day 5
:"Was on a kind of huge 'film' set the first bit was children's house
(then bit hazy) then me & friend walking down a hill, get to bottom, sit
down, guy on a bike cycles past & wants my friend to try something. I sit
in background then I go back to film set, and am at the wrong one and wander
off. everyone seems to be ready to shoot, all the people with clipboards are in
position. I ask the nearest guy where the children's place is & I find it
to
be loads
bigger an empty derelict house, the guy wants me to plant trees outside the
front door & then I fall backwards in mud, guy helps me up & dusts me
off."
Prover 1
Day 5 :
"Living in a community, new there. Lots of people attending a meeting of
all in a hall. I think P's there. As I'm new here there’s a lot of protocol
& tradition I've yet to learn. At one point everyone stands on their chairs
–
in tribute
to someone who has died-then join hands and raise arms up-this takes me by
surprise-my eyes are closed -and I overbalance and have to step down to the floor,
with a sharp intake of breath in my surprise. People look
at me and I
feel like "the new girl", visible & vulnerable. Later another big
meeting, more formal, with a presentation. At the front of the hall is a giant
globe shape with universe & stars on. Again, something about death-the
grand
finale of the leader. I walk to the front to question and look for evidence,
information.
Day 6 : In
a place with lots of friends a community. I'm feeling very happy and empowered
in myself.
Dancing,
drinking lots of water, no alcohol. I'm single and free and strong. Looking for
a massage.
Day 12 :
"In a community again. Grass. I'm tall, I'm a leader respected by the
people, they come to me for advice & wise words."
Day 17 :
"A big community again, people together for a weekend (something magic as
a background agenda hidden) at a big centre. I'm there alone and meet up with a
few people I know loosely. I've got a tent and it's pitched inside the house. I
intend to spend one night at the beach but in the end that doesn't happen
because it gets late & dark............I've made my stand of saying I'm
going off on my own and in fact it's company I want and I'm alone."
Day 20 :
"In a cornfield, waiting, witches"
Day 21
" At a massive party, outdoors, like a free party/festival
atmosphere."
Day 25 :
Working for a large company...............
Day 25 :
with a group, supervised by teachers. Outing on the tube. Previous 2 days we've
bought a ticket each, but today it's different, there's a group ticket-but I'm
not included. And I haven't got money to get my own ticket. I'm calling out
'has anyone got a spare ticket', knowing there must be one, but no-one responds
even when I ask 3 times. I feel blocked, excluded from the group- and it's fine
as I can go my own way. (this is very different from previous reaction when
I've responded badly to being or feeling excluded or rejected.....interesting.)
Groups
Prover 7
Day 4 :
Feel very chilled after yoga & get some chocs as
a peace offering.
Prover 12
Day 1 : Went
to the Healing show (working on a stand). Met lots of people I haven't seen in
ages and had some interesting chats with people via the stand.
Prover 6
Day -1 :
Camp is brilliant-thoroughly at ease and centred.
Day 1 :
Took remedy at 9.03. Very significant dream about "the past" which
linked very powerfully with the Imbolc dawn ceremony.
Synchronise links with elemental water ritual at
Yale. Talked to camp members to 'debrief'
and ,
hopefully, understand. Amazing dance workshop renewed energy and allowed me to
physically experience the re-birth of hope, intentions and well-being.
Day 2 :
Returning home today and back to work for 4.30. Felt centred
and calm, but sad to be leaving camp. However, I won't miss the mud.
Prover 8
Day 5 :
However, I did teach a good yoga class which changed a young ladies life (her
first yoga experience/class) she was deeply moved on all levels. Makes it all
worthwhile.
Day 11 :
Better post yoga.
Prover 11
Day 21 :
Woke in high spirits, again had been out last night & no hangover.
Day 23 :
Out for surprise party tonight-with lots of very good friends, really looking
forward to it.
Day 25 :
Day was good but my mood is so flat, I want to laugh more. Had P, P & P
over for dinner, lovely company, lovely food & managed to laugh as much as
we could. I'm so unusually tired all the time, although I'm calmer, I could do
without the obsessive eating and exhaustion.
Prover 2
Day 13 : I
was so high at the football, I thoroughly enjoyed it got right behind my team
it was amazing match which I really felt alive which I always do but this was
something special.
Day 20 :
Excited about going into college had a good day where I was able to speak my
truth in group's. Felt tired at the end of it though which is not really
surprising as I have given a lot.
Nature
Prover 11
Day 7 :
"Felt the need to get out into nature, I could feel my palms getting itchy
and my heart thumping, need to feel free & need to feel real energy. I'm
sitting in the garden for the blind in Henrietta Park and just listening
to the
birds & the water running from the fountain, I heard the gate open so I
looked up and it's someone I know, a friend of one of my ex boyfriends, he's
nice but I just don't want to talk to anyone, it's typical of life (in a good
way) to
show you that even when you make a choice to go somewhere you hope not to see
anyone you still do. It's beautiful & I've just realised
how much all I need to do is go out into nature to feel better, it's not all
about
working,
eating & sleeping. Hurrah there are amazing things in life."
Prover 5
Day 3 : I
drove up Solsbury Hill and found a tree & it felt
like an enormous hug in a bottle. I feel totally energised.
Day 4 : So
next mission a friend mentioned earlier about National Trust Working Holidays. So,
right, found it on the internet where you can spend 1-10 days re-planting
trees, conservation, nature, no experience-pay for food & lodging &
meet loads of people-spotted a great one for March, so syncronicity
today.
Day 5 : A
thought popped in my head: one of those that you can see unfolding infront of you visually, talking about the patterns of
people in relevance with nature. That some people have lots of different jobs
& struggles to
create
their dream job & some people study medicine at 18 and are doctors all
their lives consistent. And if you look at the latter people it's important we
have people like this to give the earth an anchoring-relate this to the
tree: They
are the trunk of the tree and those that have lots of different jobs etc. are
the branches and together we all create a stable structure and co-exist
together. Umm harder to explain on paper.
Day 6 :
Woke up today, thinking I'd like to go to Westonbirt
Arboretum and P rings to meet up and suggests the same. In my element, felt
quite heavy in some places and started getting hot flushes. I think I was
bitten by some insect. Could tell the difference between heavy & lightness
of different areas of trees. Leant against a few trees too. Absolutely
knackered afterwards.
Tree at
Stanton Drew
Prover 7
Day : 7
OFF OUT-
wander round the woods, calm & peaceful. Found a nice piece of Beech, will
try and make a staff for P.
Prover 4
Day 6: Had
a fantastic day today-had a long walk in Westonbirt
Arboretum-where I experienced light headiness & felt quite giddy. Day 12 :
Anyway had a lovely walk in Avebury which was P's
idea, it was lovely, just to get
ome air
& see the stones. While I was walking along the bit where the stones act as
a sort of passage-way to the circles, I felt quite heavy & enclosed until I
got to the circles & out of the passage way through a gateway between two
stones : one called Devil's Gate but overall I felt light headed & energised. This is until I left there when I felt totally
wiped out. Day 13 : Feels good to get out in the fresh air.
Prover 2
Day 6 :Felt very good today very connected. Knew exactly what I needed for me
today, a walk in the country then being with friends again felt connected and
accepting of self/others and situations. Eating good earthy
food and
enjoying the company of others. Feel confident and pleased with myself that I
can go into any situation and be me.
Prover 10
Day 27 : Was led to a wood today, completely by synchronicity. I have been
looking to purchase some woodland to create a natural training centre, this
place was perfect.
Prover 12
Day 1 :
Feel better once outside.
Emotional
Issues & Anger
I have used
one example of how this prover wrestled with an
internal conflict with her job, her boyfriend and her recently deceased Mother.
She didn't express it verbally, resulting in it trying to 'burst out' by
passing wind
and so she
dealt with it in her dreams until she went to her Mother's grave and
wept........ this relieved the 'tummy troubles'.
The other provers dealt with issues of ill parents,death
of grandfather,ending a relationship, beginning a relationship,very ill stepfather,and
abuse from mother as a child.
Prover 3
Day 1 : Felt angry stressed immediately when I heard my boss was on the phone. How
I felt yesterday too. ...............carried on feeling pissed off-if this my
workload or the remedy?
Day 2 :
Once again it's not taking much to make me feel furious. Is this PMT?
Day 4 :
Busy day at work. Still liable to fly off the handle at the slightest stress!
Day 6 :
Woke up feeling sad, insecure & teary. My boyfriend asked me not to call
him my pet name for him anymore. Rather surprised, but fair enough, it's rather
small making.
Day 10 :
Feeling like everyone is pissing me off at the moment-that I really don't
suffer fools gladly. Worried I'm turning back into the angriest woman in the
world.
Day 13 : So
went from confrontational to all emotional (actually that happened before when
I was writing his Valentine) & teary & just SO SAD & HOPELESS. God,
this is like nightmare PMT. Decided I was being rather
extreme
& it was probably the remedy.
Day 15 : Am
getting rather tired of being all over the place mentally & emotionally.
Day 18 :
Have been doing appalling sulphurous farts for the
last 3 days. Is this the remedy? Or is it all the pasta & bread I've eaten?
Day 20 :
Boyfriend unexpectedly came round. Delighted. He was tickling me & I got
hysterical (laugh, cry, laugh ) -felt like there was a huge burst of emotion
just bursting to get out. He looked rather amazed, so I stopped it.
Day 24 :
Dreamt about children drowning in a river, as they were playing on the back of
a huge boat dumping a load of wood. Three of them & nobody seemed to
care.........and also me swimming up a cold river (possibly
the Thames
in Oxford) underwater & doing really well at it.
Day 25 :
Terrible tummy trouble-windy, dried out stools, grindy
feelings.
Day 26 :
Got very angry when boyfriend said he was too ill to come to Sussex for my
nephews christening. Told him I was disappointed, most emphatically & drove
to Sussex planning on not speaking to him for days.
Stopped off
to see my Mum's grave & the new headstone & promptly burst into tears
& felt terribly sad & missing her for the rest of the journey. Then had
masses of casserole for dinner & tummy felt the best it's been in days!
Day 27 :
Talked to my aunt about retraining as a plumber. Coming up to 3 years in my job
& not sure if I've had enough or not, but looking at my life I may be at
another time to move on. Don't want to be tied to one job in one office. Here I
am , no kids, no mortgage & feeling like I'm being selfish & not giving
enough back to this poor planet which we're killing. Want a job that I can earn
but practice it anywhere-plumbing would be good. Aware that
I maybe
'settling' for a nice life instead of taking risks & going for what I
really want. Fear stops me. Nephew's christening-fab
day, felt very comfy in my new (second hand ) right colour
clothes. Laughed myself silly playing Cranium.

Boat on the sea-big ship. I'm involved in a plot, a game-like a fantasy action/sci fi movie. High stakes.

New York, alone amongst loads of people, looking for The Empire State Building.
I seem to be on holiday while others are working. It's the end of the day,

Day 10 : P
, large fish in bag (alive) playing pool..........P took out two very large
goldfish (the size of a good trout) they were in see through bags, in water,
very much alive. He started spinning in a circle with a bag in each
hand,
everyone thought the bags would burst & the fish fly out & splat to the
walls. He let go of the bags, they went sliding into the kitchen. The fish were
on a slab jumping, very distressed. There were fish prepared for
cooking on
the side too, all very cruel.

Day 2 : I
did dream quite a lot last night-again it was really quite stormy & windy.
I remember struggling to get a car together to help people move away from the
house that had become unsafe to be in 'cos of the
weather.
Day 5 : I
was climbing up a huge water tower with no supports or anything, underneath me
was a huge gushing river with the rest of my 'team' down there, it became clear
that I had to collect these enormous fat rubbery worm/maggot things from the
top of the water tank, they were bright light blue & really clammy. As I
had nothing to hold me up there it had to be a rush job 'cos
I'd fall down soon, these creatures were stuck on to the tank
& were
really, really hard to pull off, so it was very stressful, I was soaked right
through, very scared and disgusted at these things. They began to come free
& I just let them fall down to my team to collect, when done I
dropped myself
from the tank, & could feel myself falling but didn't land........
Prover 4
Day 3
"Strange
dream last night.......I was in a town centre and there were a few birds
overhead and I was dodging their bird droppings. Then the bird droppings got
worse like torrential rain & I was sheltering and running from
shelter to
shelter, I didn't get any on me and I bumped into a person who I think was a
man, who helped me, shelter from it???".
Day 24
Out side
looking up at the stars then the stars turned into Egyptian Pharaohs and lined
up, when they did the world experienced a terrible holocaust, wind, fire, it
was terrible. Everyone running, I was a mother & then a child looking after
a cat. We had a house which was falling down as everyone was panic, there was no
water. In the house was the child & with my cat I found a locked doorway
and went in...

Day 18:

Prover 3
Day 14 :
Woken up by
car at 1.45am from dream about crossing vast, wet boggy tundra-like (except
with long grass) wasteland, on some kind of shamanic course. Was fab. Though when I woke up-why am I just settling for a
safe
life of
safe job & house while I watch P & P taking risks & going for their
dreams & making then come true.
Cats woke
me at 2.40 h.-dreaming about being on holiday & in boat crossing beautiful
clear sea water that the next minute was absolutely full of huge esturine crocodiles-scary but didn't fall in.

The 17th-century antiquarian John Aubrey recorded a local legend: the Stanton
Drew stones were the remnants of a wedding party which was turned into stone
because they danced into the Sabbath!
The stones
of The Cove were said to be the parson, the bride and the bridegroom; those of
the avenues were the fiddlers.
The name
'Stanton' means 'homestead of the stones' and 'Drew' is the surname of a family
who lived here in the 13th century.
Stones made
out of Triassic Dolomit:ic Conglomerate
with varying degrees of silicification.
