I live quite close to Milton Keynes, we always joke about it being city of roundabouts, as there are so many. However just seen this tik tok, and then started looking into it even more and well it gets weirder and weirder. Apparently its built entirely for the freemasons.


First Milton Keynes has a perfect solstice line in the middle of the city centre. 1660709491474.png
The road is called midsummer blvd. Across from it is child's way and ports way road. Some believe this means child sacrifice at midsummer to open a portal.
1660709712707.png1660709765175.png

Now i did some digging and in Milton Keynes yearly 400 children go missing. This is not a big town at all. and comparing it to Cambridge which is about the same size and not to far from Milton Keynes, there were 10 reporting missing children, 10!

1660709944996.png1660710007273.png

continuing on solstices, Prince William was born on a solstice and lunar eclipse. On the 50th anniversary of the building of Milton Keynes Prince William visited Milton Keynes. During his stay he took part in a ritual on a place in Milton Keynes called the black rose. This is the black rose. It has pillars each marking local, national and international events like Black lives matter/Lloyd George.

The black rose is right across from the midsummer Blvd. (also notice the pyramid but ill get onto that later) As we all know roses play a part in free masonry and even their website says the rose is designed for different festivals or to mark important occasions.

Now for the pyramid. an illuminated pyramid that stands across from the rose and midsummer blvd. that sits on a hill that reminds me of glastonbury. For those who dont know the Glastonbury tor has links to merlin, and king arthur, even for some Jesus.

Commissioned in 2012 and a part of an art installation, it was lit for the first time during the queens jubillee.

This isnt the only weird statue in Milton Keynes, check out this selection.

The weirdest thing is if you link up all these statues on a map they make this symbol.

now for some more weird tit bits.
Recently there was an archaeological dig, 42 bodies were discovered with hands tired behind their backs. We are told they are old bodies but heres the weird thing. The archaeological company refuses to release any information about these bodies, who they were, the estimate for the time of burial, if they were male, female or a mix, or ages. each body was dug up and hidden away. This was in 2020. They originally said they would not say anything until they know more but still nothing. All has gone silent.

Also I find this interesting, just to the side of the pyramid and rose, and off the child way road is a section of Milton Keynes called Middleton. interesting seeing as William married Kate Middleton and just across from Middleton William did some sort of ritual.
Middleton was once home to a 400 year old cursed Elm tree. It was said that if the tree ever died, no more baby boys would be born within the borders of the then village.
In the late 1980’s the tree succumbed to Dutch Elm disease, and was finally killed after being hit by a stolen car. Eerily, the trees demise coincided with the opening of the maternity unit at Milton Keynes General Hospital. There are no records of any home-births in the district since the tree died.

Milton Keynes is also known as one of the most haunted places in the UK. There is also a lake where people are said to go missing since before the towns construction. Bletchley park where the enigma machine was decoded is within Milton Keynes.

Some also point out the fact Milton Keynes has the initials MK as in MK-ultra

A few exerts from a website too.

The Devil – it is said – once lived on the ancient Olney High Street, and was a regular drinker at ‘The Two Brewers’ Pub. Here, he caused so much mischief he had to be tricked into exile by a wily priest.

Milton Keynes plays host to a menagerie of exotic feral species, most famous of which is the legendary ‘Milton Keynes Beast’ – a big cat who’s prints have been verified by experts from Whipsnade Zoo.

As well as being completely aligned with the rising Midsummer Sun – and sitting upon a Ley Line – Milton Keynes is dominated by pyramid structures, monoliths, obelisks, standing stones and stone circles, the latter proving a magnet to local pagans and witches.

Aliesair Crowley’s unicursal hexagram?

6456FAA8-6AD2-4136-9383-A6A553F7EB8A.png
Aleister Crowley, Thelema Religion And The Unicursal Hexagram As Its Symbol

Aleister Crowley, an English mystic and magician, founded the religion of Thelema in the early 1900s claiming that a higher being named Aiwass contacted him through Rose Edith Kelly, his wife, when they were in Egypt together and dictated him a sacred text titled Liber AL vel Legis (The Book of Law) explaining the core tenets of the faith.

The word ‘Thelema’ is the anglicized version of the Koine Greek word θέλημα (pronounced as ‘thelema’) which means ‘the will’, ‘the purpose’ and ‘to wish/will something’. And ‘finding one’s own true path/true purpose in the Universe’ is the ultimate goal of the Thelema.

But how does the Thelema relate to the unicursal hexagram? Why is it called the Aleister Crowley symbol?

The unicursal hexagram was one of the most prominent symbols, if not the most prominent one, in the Thelema religion.

Aleister Crowley placed a rose with five petals right at the center of the unicursal hexagram and created a unique symbol for the Thelema religion.

@kerrichinchilla - one question - is there anything interesting at the centre point of the hexagram in MK?

Here are some articles I found. They had an ambition to become a smart green city 5 years ago or so.

Why Milton Keynes Is One of the Smart Cities in the World
Lists of the top smart cities in the world tend to throw out the same names. London, Barcelona, Singapore and New York are frequently near the top of most lists. Not all of the smartest cities, however, are metropolises. Take Milton Keynes, for instance. With a population of approximately a quarter million, Milton Keynes is technically a large town by British standards, but it is clearly punching above its weight class in the smart city space. Milton Keynes also has definite plans for coming years, including the MK Futures 2050 program.​
....The city now has the second highest concentration of digital and tech SMEs of any UK city outside London.....​

Milton Keynes - A Modern Temple to the Sun


The Labyrinth from above


Milton Keynes just happens to be the home of the largest Bronze age gold hoard as well as for the WWII secret codebreakers - (Ultra, Lucy, Magic), and the first computer Colossus.


The Milton Keynes Hoard
The Milton Keynes Hoard is a hoard of Bronze Age gold found in September 2000 in a field at Monkston Park in Milton Keynes, England. The hoard consisted of two torcs, three bracelets, and a fragment of bronze rod contained in a pottery vessel. The inclusion of pottery in the find enabled it to be dated to around 1150–800 BC.​
Weighing in at 2.020 kg (4.45 lb), the hoard was described by the British Museum as "one of the biggest concentrations of Bronze Age gold known from Great Britain" and "important for providing a social and economic picture for the period". The hoard was valued at £290,000 and is now in the British Museum.​
Several other antiquities, including Romano-British hoards, have been found within a 10–12 miles (16–19 km) radius of the centre of Milton Keynes.​


Top Secret WWII Codebreakers and "Ultra", "Lucy", and "Magic"
Bletchley Park - "Once the top-secret home of the World War Two Codebreakers, Bletchley Park is now a vibrant heritage attraction. Step back in time to experience the stories of the extraordinary achievements of the men and women that worked here."​
Ultra - The designation adopted by British military intelligence in June 1941 for wartime signals intelligence obtained by breaking high-level encrypted enemy radio and teleprinter communications at the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) at Bletchley Park. Ultra eventually became the standard designation among the western Allies for all such intelligence. The name arose because the intelligence obtained was considered more important than that designated by the highest British security classification then used (Most Secret) and so was regarded as being Ultra Secret. Several other cryptonyms had been used for such intelligence.​
The code name Boniface was used as a cover name for Ultra. In order to ensure that the successful code-breaking did not become apparent to the Germans, British intelligence created a fictional MI6 master spy, Boniface, who controlled a fictional series of agents throughout Germany. Information obtained through code-breaking was often attributed to the human intelligence from the Boniface network. The U.S. used the codename Magic for its decrypts from Japanese sources, including the "Purple" cipher.​
Much of the German cipher traffic was encrypted on the Enigma machine. Used properly, the German military Enigma would have been virtually unbreakable; in practice, shortcomings in operation allowed it to be broken. The term "Ultra" has often been used almost synonymously with "Enigma decrypts". However, Ultra also encompassed decrypts of the German Lorenz SZ 40/42 machines that were used by the German High Command, and the Hagelin machine.​

Lucy - An intriguing question concerns the alleged use of Ultra information by the "Lucy" spy ring, headquartered in Switzerland and apparently operated by one man, Rudolf Roessler. This was an extremely well informed, responsive ring that was able to get information "directly from German General Staff Headquarters" – often on specific request. It has been alleged that "Lucy" was in major part a conduit for the British to feed Ultra intelligence to the Soviets in a way that made it appear to have come from highly placed espionage rather than from cryptanalysis of German radio traffic. The Soviets, however, through an agent at Bletchley, John Cairncross, knew that Britain had broken Enigma. The "Lucy" ring was initially treated with suspicion by the Soviets. The information it provided was accurate and timely, however, and Soviet agents in Switzerland (including their chief, Alexander Radó) eventually learned to take it seriously. However, the theory that the Lucy ring was a cover for Britain to pass Enigma intelligence to the Soviets has not gained traction​

Magic - Magic was set up to combine the US government's cryptologic capabilities in one organization dubbed the Research Bureau. Intelligence officers from the Army and Navy (and later civilian experts and technicians) were all under one roof. Although they worked on a series of codes and cyphers, their most important successes involved RED, BLUE, and PURPLE.​
RED​
In 1923, a US Navy officer acquired a stolen copy of the Secret Operating Code codebook used by the Japanese Navy during World War I. Photographs of the codebook were given to the cryptanalysts at the Research Desk and the processed code was kept in red-colored folders (to indicate its Top Secret classification). This code was called "RED".​
BLUE​
In 1930, the Japanese government created a more complex code that was codenamed BLUE, although RED was still being used for low-level communications. It was quickly broken by the Research Desk no later than 1932. US Military Intelligence COMINT listening stations began monitoring command-to-fleet, ship-to-ship, and land-based communications.​
PURPLE​
Main article: Purple code​
After Japan's ally Germany declared war in the fall of 1939, the German government began sending technical assistance to upgrade their communications and cryptography capabilities. One part was to send them modified Enigma machines to secure Japan's high-level communications with Germany. The new code, codenamed PURPLE (from the color obtained by mixing red and blue), was baffling.​
PURPLE, like Enigma, began its communications with the same line of code but then became an unfathomable jumble. Codebreakers tried to break PURPLE communiques by hand but found they could not. Then the codebreakers realized that it was not a manual additive or substitution code like RED and BLUE, but a machine-generated code similar to Germany's Enigma cipher. Decoding was slow and much of the traffic was still hard to break. By the time the traffic was decoded and translated, the contents were often out of date.​

An interesting blog post I found. It is rather long so I cut out some of the stuff about dowsing. The author says all the sun symbols in Milton Keynes are along a "leyline."

Milton Keynes - A Modern Temple to the Sun
We have found compelling evidence that MK is a Modern Temple to the Sun.​


  • The leyline runs from Willen Village, across the lake, through the Needle Stone and Medicine Wheel (stone circle), down the centre nave of the Tree Cathedral, onto the cricket pitch in Campbell Park, up and along the Belvedere, through the circular pond (now The MK Rose,) and onto Midsummer Boulevard. It flows the full length of the Boulevard down the central reservation and into the station, straight through the main doors, along the concourse, across the railway lines and A5, and into Loughton Village.
This is a distance of approx 3¾ miles (6kms) and the straightness of the route can be clearly seen on a map or Google Earth.​
A final thought: Was Milton Keynes built along the leyline by chance? We think not! Was it thought by the Founding Fathers that good energies would be attracted into the new city, helping its growth and development? Perhaps Milton Keynes’s motto gives us a clue; “By Knowledge, Design and Understanding”? Our interpretation of this is that their knowledge and understanding of the leyline and its energies, was central to the design of the city.​
We hope now you can see why we think:- THE WHOLE CITY IS A MODERN TEMPLE TO THE SUN.​
  • Milton Keynes is one of the New Towns built in the sixties to take the overspill from London. Its position makes it very easy to get to, as it is halfway between London and Birmingham and also halfway between Cambridge and Oxford. This may not have been accidental! Unlike other New Towns it has been built on an American-style grid system. The roads are all marked V (vertical) or H (horizontal) but strangely not going directly North-South or East- West as you would expect. They were built just off North-East to South-West to follow the direction of the sun.
  • Types of sun symbols: circles; plain or with different sorts of crosses within them, the astrological glyph for the sun is a circle with a dot in the centre, domes, other crosses, armillaries, sundials, compasses and pyramids.
Line Begins​
  1. Willen Village, just along from the Hospice and a very beautiful church called St. Mary Magdalene with a circular chancel. There is a single standing stone near Willen Church in Old Willen.
  2. In the grounds of the Hospice is an armillary, which is an instrument for recording the passage of the sun through the year. There is also a circular children’s playground.
  3. Society of the Sacred Mission built over a Holy well has a labyrinth hidden in it.
  4. Medicine Wheel - A sacred stone circle ceremonies are performed within the circle several times a year, not just at Solstice, by Buddhists, pagans, and other groups.
  5. Needle stone AKA the Africa Stone - acts as an obelisk between the lake and the stone circle
  6. Labyrinth surrounds the stone circle with an oak tree in the center and Peace Pagoda with a Remembrance Tree. Set to 4 compass points.
  7. Milton Keynes Henge AKA the Arrow Stones - 5 standing stones point to the Lone Stone.
  8. The Lone Stone - Through the circular playground which has a wooden sculpture with an owl on the top and running up the base are carvings of animals and metal studs depicting star constellations.
  9. Tree Cathedral - based on Norwich Cathedral and the cloisters contain 4 thorn trees from the sacred site of Glastonbury.
  10. Campbell Park - The Gnomon / Shadow Caster / Cricket Stumps - sundial by the pavilion which has a moon and sun symbol on top.
  11. The Belvedere - man-made hill almost the exact copy of Silbury Hill in Avebury. On top is a metal pyramid has been placed to commemorate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
  12. Milton Keynes Rose - Designer Gordon Young wanted to create a sacred space for all. He based his design on a rose using circles and semi circles as used in cathedral windows.
  13. Throughout the park - circular paths and ponds, snake like stream, another labyrinth and armillary and a small maze.
  14. Large Circular Pond to Midsummer Boulevard. This is now been covered over by the MK Rose
  15. Compass Point Hedge
  16. Chain Reaction Statue & The Omega Symbol
  17. Winter Solstice Tree Circle - memorial to the Tin Hats and a pyramid without a capstone.
  18. Theater district - Scattered around the centre there are numerous domed buildings, on top of some are bird sculptures made from old cameras, which are a satire of our modern surveillance society. Behind the theatre itself there are mini-sculptures of 3 other pyramids, Stonehenge, tree of life and the theatre garden has numerous small silver pyramids and circles. It also has a snake like water feature.
  19. City Center - The main roads in the centre are Midsummer Boulevard, Avebury Boulevard and Silbury Boulevard directly named after the ancient Avebury sun temple complex.
  20. Midsummer Place outside of which is a plaque acknowledging the solstice line.
  21. Shopping center - Midsummer Place, Avebury Arcade, Sunset Walk, Midsummer Arcade and Silbury Arcade. There is also a sculpture of an enormous sun hanging over the heads of the shoppers in the main walkway.
  22. Queens Court - sundial reference Originally this area contained a large water feature with a fountain, and also housed a sundial and bollards depicting the four races of man.
  23. Outside shopping area are large green circular dais where one would stand to photograph the rising sun lighting up the railway station.
  24. The Point - stepped pyramid without capstone. Had the UK's first multiplex cinema.
  25. The Church of Christ the Cornerstone is also near here, again a domed building, with circles galore inside and out in the extensive gardens. The church is circular and welcomes all faiths and dominations; it also houses the Guildhall and several other organizations including a café. We noticed that the church didn’t have the normal east-west energy line, in fact we didn’t find a line at all, and extremely unusually, it did not face due east. Behind the altar and pulpit there is a large sun symbol on the wall where the east window would normally be. Thus, carrying on the religious belief of the importance of the sun/son, albeit not directly. We also noticed that there was no cross or crucifix, only several modern sculptures set around in the outer circular corridor.
  26. Midsummer Boulevard - a circle and a square made from clipped hedging with seating round them, a pyramid like sculpture , an “N” shaped sculpture that also looks rather like a pyramid , and a semicircular stepped embankment.
  27. Jury's Inn Hotel - a symbol set into the pavement outside the Jury's Inn Hotel. It can be easily overlooked and is best seen on an aerial photograph such as Google maps. It has two meanings: a possible all-seeing eye set over a pyramid or rays coming from a sun.
  28. The end - Loughton
  29. Another circular children's playground
  30. All Saints Church at Loughton - It is very interesting to note that the leyline energies billow out here and encompasses practically the whole village, including a road called Leys Road!
CONCLUSIONS​
  • The most important features we think to support our thesis are these:
  • 1 Stone Circle (summer solstice)
  • 1 Tree Circle (winter solstice)
  • 2 Plaques (showing the summer and winter solstices)
  • 2 Armillaries
  • 3 Sun sculptures
  • 1 Gnomon
  • 1 Hedge Compass
  • countless circles and semi-circles in buildings, hedges, ponds etc.
  • 3 labyrinths
  • Henge and menhir
  • 1 Obelisk
  • at least 12 pyramids
  • 3 circular playgrounds
  • Numerous domes
  • Many references in the buildings and roads incorporating the words Sun, Avebury and Silbury Hill and Leys.
  • Sacred sites eg cathedrals, churches, pagodas, Medicine Wheel, temples etc.

I could not find another reference to the Saffron Walden maze being Rosicrucian besides this.
Willen Labyrinth -
"Another piece of landscape architecture, Willen Labyrinth is a turf maze based on an enlarged version of the Saffron Walden Rosicrucian Maze. At its centre is an oak tree and in each of the four lobes is a bronze face designed by sculptor Tim Minett. The maze unifies the faces in peace and places them in the context of dominant nature, symbolised by the oak tree. "​

Celtic Full Moon Ceremony in Milton Keynes, 2005



Origin of the Jack in the Box
John Schorne
"There is a theory that the expression derives from the story of Sir John Schorne, a celebrated 12th century pious Christian who was believed by the people of Norfolk to possess healing powers. He was said to have caught the Devil and held him captive in his boot. Several English church screens still contain images of Schorne with the Devil peeping out of a boot. This was (much later) said to be the origin of the name of the toy Jack-in-the-box'. With no real evidence that connects Schorne to the expression, and 700 years later we aren't likely to find any, coupled with the fact that the children's toy didn't emerge until the 18th century, we can reasonably discount that supposed origin and hand Sir John back to the good people of Norfolk. "

He is pictured holding a boot with the devil sticking out. The Saint of North Marston.



During a drought, he discovered a well, whose waters were reputed to have miraculous properties.

Must be nice to have so much money you can afford these extravaganzas. Makes you wonder who got cheated to pay for it all.

Not sure if this is something but I remembered that Milton Keynes is the home of roundabouts. 130 roundabouts the most in the UK. Circles again
1673601548222.png1673601566147.png
and another weird statue. They really like their statues. Ive never seen a town have so many. Even london. Its also worth noting pretty much each roundabout has a statue, including the one below
