Little Wiltshire/Whitehead X-ing Visit
Filed under Bill Mountain, Frank Park, Whitehead Crossing
Notes….
Carrcass-*9* is basically mapped out… will probably tape this weekend. Will return to Sharies mythology very soon, hopefully more toward the end of this week and the weekend. England coming up fast!
Hucka D.:
I’m still with you. Now you know how advanced the Frank and Herman, Einstein mythology is compared to the Ashville one from the early nineties. Very much more advanced. You have reached maturity… finally. I will help.
bb:
I’m still sad about Pietmond[ folding up]. I always have the related posts[ from 2010-13].
Hucka D.:
Pietmond and New Pietmond. You will return. Temple.

Hucka D. had to go away and make some soup, he said. What *next* for the Frank and Herman mythology? What of this *fall*? I have a feeling a second new carrcass may form just behind or beyond the spanking new and as yet untaped Carrcass-9. That will then be in July or Aug., perhaps. Then Sep. will bring the beg. of the Fall hiking season, but probably too early to think about that. F&HE! blog will be 1 year old in Sep.. 1 full cycle. What does Carrcass-9 tell us about Frank and Herman Parks? Lisa the V. is within, obviously. Lisa the V. saw the division of Frank and Herman Parks both by The Way. This marked end of estate and beginning of protected and undeveloped park. Herman and his wife had left the scene. Sharies had left or been transformed or transmuted. Golden Age centered on *their* Pietmond had ended. Pietmond was a reflection of the success of the estate. Palmistry.
WC:
Focus should remain on WC, the center.
bb:
Hi WC. Are you Joe the Rock?
WC:
Yes. The reds, the greens, the whites meet there. Great Gathering.
bb:
Need to return to Lion’s Roar — a must!
WC:
There is a question of exteriorization and how to accomplish. To protect the DDD center you must advance a bit. Last 5 yrs this will be. RM. When this happens, you will dictate the rules. F&HE! will be certainly there with you. Put Andderson and its valley in the past. Served its purpose.. to get you to this point. Publish BARK. Make additional collages and additional extensions of the Art 10×10[ like with this past winter]. More carrcasses. What will the next carrcass be, Baker b?
bb:
Inversion or some kind of continuation of the present one. Lost.
WC:
You’re going to be amazed[ once more]. That’s why the present one was Deadened.

Weekend Update
A pretty rainy weekend kept me indoors Saturday but not Sunday. Both Friday and Sunday I revisited Whitehead Crossing, but took no pictures. Sat. I hiked on a section of the Herman Park trails that I haven’t been on in many a year. Report on that soon, and I’ll also promise some pics at the time. Thought about the rather startling revelation concerning the core section of Herman Park as being a giant hand with palmistry marks, but with no new breakthroughs on that front. Instead what I *did* have breakthroughs on this weekend were the creation of several tiles of a Carrcass-8, along with what seems to be a whole 10 minute prelude for the thing.

05/21/13:
Just gonna continue this post. Hucka D. wishes to catch up tonight.
Hucka D.:
Howdy. Just stopping by to catch up. Marty is here. Plant is here. Want to talk about Carrcass-8 and such. Ethel as well. Do you have time? I know you are a busy boy these days. Preparing and all. Do you?
bb:
Sure, Hucka D. So what’s going on with Carrcass-8? 4th level?
Hucka D.:
Yes (!) At least a start.
bb:
Finally. I’ve reached level 4. The legend, the myth.
Hucka D.:
Reality now, or soon will be. Marty is there and helping. Plant too. Ethel. Maybe Knik.
bb:
I don’t want it to turn into a sprawling 1 Pink, Hucka.
Hucka D.:
Interesting. But why not?
bb:
Get’s out of control. Can’t control.
Hucka D.:
I’m afraid it’s going to be bigger than Red 7, baker b. No wait out of it.
bb:
Interesting, in return.

Hucka D.:
Peeling an orange. An onion. Peel away.

Sharieland’s Heart Line (01), then Whitehead X-ing Trees
Heart Line is a path running from a postion between Heart and Head Lake to a road below Herman’s Mansion, cutting across the heart, as I interpret it, of his namesake park. I also assoc. it with the *Heart* Line on a *Hand*, positioned above the *Head* Line and whose lower end is just above the upper end of the *Health* Line. See the diagram at the end of this post.*
Below are two pictures of rocks found along Heart Line or Line of Heart. I’ll take more pictures this weekend, with accompanying text to be generated as well.
Neart a central point, Heart Line becomes clogged with rhododendron, but a path has been cut through the bramble still, allowing one to continue upward or downward. I should also note here that Heart Line is not an official hiking trail of the park, but has obviously been walked and even somewhat maintained as an unofficial one by certain groups of people in the past.
A holly tree marking an upper end of the meadow above Heart Lake — as seen from Heart Line, once more.
We move now to neighboring Frank Park, and a shot of a large and apparently dying oak tree just beyond the northern edge of the Whitehead Crossing region.
Greenmount from Green Steam on the lower edge of Whitehead Crossing, or what is also the upper end of Green Stream’s Korean Channel.

* palmistry lines:
Hucka D.:
You wish to ask about palmistry and hand, heart, health, head. Yes, the blueprint for the lakes of the park all appear in Sharieland, in the various paths that cut across the land just below Herman’s beautiful mansion in the skies. But there may have been more human intervention in these plans than you presently suspect. Perhaps Herman knew of the Heart Line. Perhaps Herman knew of the giant hand[ as it were], below the mansion. Pull up that Arkansas hand from before — Baxter County I believe.
bb:
Here it is, Hucka.
https://bakerbloch.wordpress.com/2013/02/01/if-odd-crazy-things-become-consistently-common/
Well, certainly Herman’s Mansion is his beautiful *Mountain Home* in the skies, Hucka[ as you put it].
Hucka D.:
Herman wished to move his home into the mountains themselves, to become one with the mountains. He’s approving of your work, baker b.
MOUNTAIN HOME… FOLLOWING THE HEART. HEART LEADS TO HEAD. HEAD OF MOUNTAIN.
—–
Herman saw his mansion positioned between cue and eight ball on the Mounds of Venus; his grounds as a giant hand — fingers as roads. Mansion equals 12345 between the balls. Cue ball was oblique in his living days. Cue ball and eight ball are two of the mounds here.
Some say Herman saw his mansion in a vesica piscus lying between the two mounds. Some say he wanted his mansion to be the third, central mound, completing the hand of his land [Land Hand]. He wanted to rooftops to be equal in elevation to the basically equal tops of Cue and Eight.
In this doctored map, the two mounds are clearly/obviously in the center: “8” marks the top of Eight Ball and “C” the peak of Cue Ball. Notice Herman’s Mansion is quite positioned between the two, reinforcing a vesica piscus interpretation. On this map I’ve also included the location of Heart Line (red) just downhill from the mansion, and also Head Lake and Heart Lake are marked.
—–
Hucka D.:
The 2 mounds would have to be those of The Sun and Saturn, don’t you think baker b.?
bb:
Suppose. According to this article…
http://psychiclibrary.com/beyondBooks/palmistry-mounts
Hucka D.:
Sorry to interrupt [again!], but that may be the Mount of Saturn and Jupiter, instead. I think this is what Herman thought when building his mansion. It is a cross between Saturn and Jupiter, the two largest mounds…er, planets I mean. And that makes sense when I’m looking at the map again through your eyes.
bb;
Yeah, thanks for adding that last part. Partial credit to me, then.
Hucka D.:
I’ll think about it. (smiles)
bb:
So here we go:
http://psychiclibrary.com/beyondBooks/mount-of-jupiter
http://psychiclibrary.com/beyondBooks/mount-of-saturn
But can we go even *further* with this, Hucka D., and say that *all* mounds of the hand have correspondence in the landscape around the mansion. Obviously I think we can say that the Mound or Mount of Apollo corresponds with that flat ridge I explored a week ago today, where I felt a strong presence of fairies. Traditional palmistry has it that if a mound of the hand is too flat, it represents a weakening of that aspect in the personality.
Hucka D.:
Yes. *All* mounds are represented in the landscape, as you’ve guessed. You better study the history of palmistry.

Sharies
Hucka D.:
No time for intros. Sharies ruled the land below Herman’s Mansion. Interacted with the humans on the property. Made their way to the house, yes. Carrcass-8 should help. Behind the 8 Ball.
bb:
So Carrcass-8 is going to help me understand the mythology of the Sharies.
Hucka D.:
Yes. Starting with LINDA.
bb:
Did Herman know about them?
[no answer]
—–
I’ll continue speculating without Hucka D., then. Herman walked past a fairy house on his daily strolls on Eight Ball Ridge, or what he perhaps insisted be called merely “The Eight Ball”. And, yes, Herman and his family played croquet in the backyard there, and maybe were familiar with the game Eight Ball. Don’t see how they couldn’t have been. Those working in the fields around Heart Lake were closer to Sharieland Central, however. To the fairies they were giants. Sharieland may have had a parallel to My Second Lyfe’s Pietmond, a Golden City in the sky. Sharies consider the working Herman estate the Golden Age, now long past. They had a shared fantasy, a Shared Fantasia even. What happened to the Sharies after that, and the coming of The Way? Lisa the V. became involved after that. Sharies might have understood the transmigration of the soul across bodies.
Billfork is involved here. The settlement of TILE Creek paralleled that of the neighboring Heart Lake region up to the formation of Billfork on Fork Creek, and the discovery of the true head of TILE Creek next to Head Rock and not at Hand Spring. Did some Sharie fairies settle in the Billfork area after this Golden Age had ended?
Sharies were comforted by the sight of the mansion up on the hill above their central region. They were always very aware how much of the house you could see from any one location. They knew a young boy could be watching them from an upstairs window.
There were the tame, domesticated Sharies living in and around the mansion (and perhaps in other houses in the park at that time), and then the wild Sharies living in the fields around the house. Specifically Heart Lake would have been a magnet of attraction.
Could the Termite Terror of 1902 actually have been an excuse to capture and/or eradicate Sharies in the mansion? (or in the wild?)
This is a big topic.
Herman was busy running the mansion and grounds and had no time for fairies except for his walks on Eight Ball. This was a linking place. The Sharies confused Herman with the Eight Ball. They set up a specific fairy house, perhaps even a stage house (like a doll house, except reversed?) on this path for Herman and wife to see. Son Eddie saw the Sharies (yes!).
Eight Ball (Hill) originally called Eighth Ball, after the croquet game. Herman was a collage of people — he was a Munster Mash(up).

Sharieland 03
(continued form Sharieland 02)
Heading toward Herman’s Mansion from the ridge discussed in “Sharieland 02”.
Reaching the mansion. Herman often made jokes about his home being “behind the eight ball” when things went afowl there, like with the Termite Terror of 1902.
Path on Eight Ball Ridge.
While starting up the path, I was rather startled to see what appeared to be a fairy home at the base of a tree to my right. Very unambiguous!
Forks in the trail. This is where the central “eight” can be entered. Alternately you can just walk in a big loop (straighter path to left), bypassing the very top of the ridge. Being quite superstitious, Herman always walked the “eight”, and in a clockwise direction according to legend. He felt this helped keep bad luck away from the house. Herman accomplished the ritual almost daily, more often than not accompanied by his loyal wife Ethel.
http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/behind-the-eight-ball.html
One could possibly even make an argument that Herman originated the phrase, “behind the eight ball”, meaning to be in a sticky situation. I’ll have to look up if croquet was played on the grounds per reference to “Eight Ball Croquet” in the above article. A ridge just north of the house, a kind of direct continuation of The Eight Ball (but with a distinct, separate peak) has since been nicknamed Cue Ball, but there’s no record of Herman’s family coming up with this appellation.
And now we return to what appears to be the meat of Sharieland just downhill from the mansion. This interesting cement container seems to mark a northern boundary. Did something like “Welcome to Sharieland!” use to be scrawled upon its front?
Eye Rock (my name) a little above the container.
More photos and text concerning Sharieland soon enough! It seems to be a big, big topic.

Sharieland 02
(continued from Sharieland 01)
Still on the as yet unnamed ridge just a bit south of Herman’s Mansion, we have faint paths through cryptic trees.
A main road of the area is not far away from the ridge top.
A rock seeming to mark the end of the ridge in this direction.
Another one of those birthday balloons I find with some frequency around Herman and Frank Parks. Do they all possibly originate from the same huge birthday extravaganza? Still a mystery as to why they’re around for me.
Another enchanting ridge scene.
Perhaps another fairy hole, this time in a pine and filled with water.
There’s a nice creek with several feeder springs to the north of the ridge, another place I can’t remember exploring in the past.
Another possible fairy home near this creek.

Sharieland 01
Before getting to Sharieland, I thought I’d begin with this interesting shot from Whitehead Crossing of a single leafed plant with 3 symmetrically arranged flower petals atop it. I’m trying to pay attention to such things — this would be beside No Title Rock, I believe, and taken about 2 weeks prior to posting it here.
To the main subject of the day now: This weekend I was fortunate enough to accomplish hikes on Friday, Saturday and Sunday all. Friday and Sunday sent me to what I’m, as of yesterday, calling Sharieland. “Sharie” is a portmandeu of words “fairy” and “share”. It is literally a fairy that likes to share, at least with other fairies of its type. The theory goes that the land immediately below and around Herman’s Mansion in Herman Park was riddled with the creatures, and perhaps they even use to interact with the humans who lived and worked there, perhaps even Herman himself or at least one or several of his family. In this way, they may be akin to the borrowers made famous by English author Mary Norton.
I first found clear evidence of a fairy culture in the vicinity of the mansion through this more elaborate rock cairn, extending itself beyond a mere single line stack of rocks. Is there a message within the multi-layered arrangement?
These pictures comes not downhill from Herman’s Mansion, as the above ones do, but from the ridge immediately to its west that, at its peak, rises a bit beyond the mansion’s rooftops. Herman himself named this low ridge The Eight Ball, and the path encircling and also penetrating its summit was a favorite of he and his wife.
Squarish rock on the ridge.
We’ll return to The Eight Ball in a moment, but let’s shift to yet another location near the mansion: a flatter ridge not known about or explored before Friday atall, and just a stone’s throw south of the former. Actually, I first began to think about fairies in the area when finding this remarkably flat area and variously holed trees and stones within. A large-ish garter snake (below) pointed me towards the wilder interior of the ridge as I was walking past it on a carriage road, but I didn’t understand its message until later…
… after spotting this nice rock a bit off and above the road, about a football field’s length down from the snake. Its presence immediately lured me back into the woods, and soon I was exploring the whole extent of the flat top of the ridge it perched on the edge of. I’ll come up with a name for this rock soon; it’s similar in size, say, to Grey Rock of Whitehead Crossing, but without a topping stone (Seal Stone) in this case.
What might be the heart of the forest on the ridge, with a peculiar and admittedly a bit disturbing gash in the tree to the right here. Two holes, actually, but the lower and larger one seems quite like a wound, so much so that I found I didn’t want to put a close up of it in this blog. What is the story behind this? Is it really a “wound”, perhaps one that can’t heal? Does it tell something about the fairies of the area?
A towering pine tree further south on the ridge.

I can wait.
Forgot I had this little bit of mainland property left.
Baker Bloch use to live next to this now *almost* barren mountain in Ephant on the Corsica continent. 1 tree left!
But it’s to the Nautilus continent below Corsica that I’ll probably return in early to mid- July. The first picture above is from Lower Austra, which I wrote some about in early 2012 on the old blog. The Mysten town is still there, perhaps mysteriously so because it seems to contain no activity at all these days. A dead berg. All my structures in the general region have been deleted save the one pictured at the top of the current post, or what Baker Bloch sits inside of. Philo is really no more… nothing is really no more for me in terms of Second Life.
For me, the shape of things has changed there.
But I may be able to rekindle a spark on Nautilus. Just a hunch.
I miss Heterocera.
