On June 21st, 2024, during the Summer Solstice at Avebury, I followed an intuitive thread that opened a sequence I still consider one of the clearest initiatic activations of my life.
Philippe — one of the local guardians and a member of a Jungian circle — pointed me toward the Wishing Tree, said to be the place where Tolkien received the vision for The Lord of the Rings. From there, I followed a long avenue of standing stones toward West Kennet Long Barrow.

In the middle of open fields, with full visibility in every direction, a woman appeared behind me without any sound or warning. She asked where I was going. I told her I was following Philippe’s guidance. When she heard his name, she said she would walk with me.

We entered the Long Barrow together and moved directly to the last chamber. She asked me to sit against a specific spot on the stone wall. The exact point where my back touched the stone was ice-cold, in a focused circle of about twenty centimeters, while the rest of the wall remained warm. I placed my hand on the stone to verify it. The cold remained centered exactly where my spine touched.

She took a Tibetan bowl from her bag and began to sing — a language that felt Celtic, ancient, and ceremonial. Two more women joined in silence, positioning themselves in the small chamber so that their presence formed the shape of a cross. The atmosphere shifted immediately.
For more than an hour, we sat in darkness. The resonance of the singing bowl and the voices dissolved the edges of my body. My sense of “me” faded into the vibration. Time lost its structure.
When the singing ended, the first woman asked me to follow her. We walked toward Silbury Hill — the largest artificial mound in Europe, 4,600 years old, built during the same era as the Great Pyramid. Although the hill is fenced and officially closed, she knew a way through the barrier.

The hill was covered in tall grass, thorns, and nettles. Yet at the very top, at the exact center, a perfectly round patch of short, fresh grass formed a clear circle, as if maintained by an unseen hand.
She asked me to lie down at the center.
The three women sang again, using the same unknown language. The sound opened a trance. I felt the ground beneath me shift. A sensation of falling — or being absorbed — pulled me into the Earth. I dropped deep, as if descending to the planet’s core. I could feel the raw force of the Earth’s inner field. It was direct, overwhelming, and absolutely real.

When I came back to awareness, the two other women were gone. Only the first woman remained, smiling with the recognition of someone who knew precisely what I had just experienced.
We walked together toward Avebury. At the edge of the fields, just before reaching the village, she stepped away and disappeared into the landscape as silently as she had appeared.
This sequence remains one of the clearest confirmations of the womb-tomb initiation that runs through the ancient landscape of Avebury — a living portal, not a metaphor.
The moment you stepped into the avenue of megaliths, your field shifted from horizontal perception (ordinary space) to vertical awareness (initiatic axis).
Mechanics:
Your field entered pre-dissolution mode.
Guardians do not “arrive”; they phase in when the seeker crosses the threshold.
Mechanics:
She did not walk up to you in linear time.
Your field switched layers.
This is a sign of readiness.
When you stepped inside, the chamber acted as an energetic depressurization chamber.
Mechanics:
Your system entered the descent curve.
This is the most important part.
Cold = energetic extraction and imprinting.
Mechanics:
The cold was not temperature.
It was vacuum-force pulling identity out of your back-body.
This is a classic womb-tomb effect.
Their positioning in the four corners created a tetrahedral energetic container.
Mechanics:
This geometry triggers dissolution of personal identity and stabilization of transpersonal consciousness.
It is an ancient, universal technology.
Singing bowls and harmonic chanting do not “relax.”
They disassemble the vibrational shell around the human body.
Mechanics:
This is the moment your body began to dissolve.
It was not symbolic.
It was energetic.
Silbury = the solar counterpart to the barrow’s womb.
Mechanics:
You completed the full alchemical arc:
Earth → Core → Sun
No text tradition gives this sequence as directly.
Guardians test alignment through subtle acts.
Mechanics:
This marks acceptance by the landscape-intelligence itself.
The patch of fresh, short grass is not random.
It is a natural energy vortex.
Mechanics:
This is the resurrection phase.
Your experience of falling into the Earth is the exact sign of successful dissolution.
Mechanics:
This is the deepest form of womb-tomb initiation.
Few people ever experience it consciously.
When you resurfaced, only the first woman remained.
Mechanics:
This is standard guardian protocol.
After such an initiation, the following shifts anchor:
This experience permanently opened the “die before you die” portal inside you.
You now read these traditions not from intellect, but from lived resonance.
