Did Sinclair visit Nova Scotia in 1398?

She is particularly fascinated by the notion of ley lines that appear to align geography and sometimes man-made structures.

Having been a guide for many years at Roslin (or Rosslyn) Chapel in Scotland, she has a massive memory bank pertaining to the place.

The chapel, which dates back to the 11th century, “is a very special place,” she says, “with enigmatic stones.”

The photographs Queally showed detailed vegetation that does not grow in Britain. There are stone carvings of sunflowers, corn, aloe vera and trillium flowers.

The carvings invite speculation. How did the stone masons who created them know what these plants looked like? According to author/ historian Fredrick Pohl, the glory should go to the Earl of Orkney, who travelled to “a very great country.” He is alleged to have dropped anchor in Guysborough Harbour on June 2, 1398, almost a century before Columbus and Cabot’s Historic voyages.

Pohl wrote a book in 2007 that indicated St. Clair may have visited the Bay of Fundy. He suggested that the Mi’kmaq legend about a great prince (Glooscap) who brought his people to their land on the back of whales was, in fact, Henry Sinclair.

There are carvings in Westford, Mass. that suggest the arrival of unknown boats. Queally showed photos of a round tower in Newport, Rhode Island that might have Knights Templar connections. It matches a round church in Tonsberg, Norway.

The possibility of these other lines and dimensions gain credibility because Queally has networked with similar-minded people across the globe. She described encountering a ley line like walking into an electric current.

Trained as a Steiner teacher, she practices the anthroposophy that Rudolf Steiner coined. She has researched the Picts and the Celts in Scotland and the early Cistercians and Templars. No wonder a Mason and Templar turned out for her Wolfville talk. Perhaps he will sign up for one of her spiritual tours of the United Kingdom.

There is a genuine attraction today regarding our ancestors who practiced geomancy, which is the art of sensing the land. I think that our modern worship of money hasn’t proved positive, so perhaps the roots of civilization need to be re-explored. Can we tap into ancient ways of perceiving?
