The Barbury Dish

~ Sacred Geometry in the Peruvian Andes ~

by Kathy Doore


Cusco, Peru 1998 -- I returned to the Sacred Valley of the Incas a year after installing the labyrinth meditation gardens for the Incaland Resort, to reunite with my friends and walk the Peruvian labyrinths. One afternoon while I was enjoying the meditation garden, I met a Chilean medicine woman on pilgrimage. I'd envisioned a gathering of women to carry on the work and invited her to join me. The next April we led a group of fifty women into the mysteries of the Pachamama, the Divine Earthmother, an extraordinary journey of remembrance. A few months later, and just a stones throw down the road from our labyrinth, two English women, Edie and Jill, were on another journey of remembrance. They asked for and received, confirmation of their deepest desire.

The women had been traveling on a sacred quest, and one afternoon while walking in the hotel gardens, the girls off-handedly asked to see a lightship, as they'd heard many stories of such occurrences in the area. They did not see anything unusual that afternoon when they apparently photographed the grounds around their villa, and caught an unusual object in their lens. It was only some time later when the two women had returned home to England and developed their film (from two different cameras), in each woman's respective city, that they would learn of the unusual object manifested over their heads that afternoon. The object was an unmistakable likeness to the well-known crop formation from 1999, near Barbury Castle, England. As the women were unfamiliar with this image, they had no idea what they were seeing in the photos. Jill thought the picture was weird, distorted, and threw her original away, but not before she sent a copy to Edie. Edit put her photos away, and the matter was all but forgotten until the spring of 2005 when destinies converged.

In April 2005, Edie gave a copy of her picture (Photo #1) to a friend who would post it without any accompanying explanation, other then it was from Peru. The very night Kathy Doore would see it, and she knew immediately what it was, and where it was from -- the exact location of its origin. She also knew its appearance was meant for her. She'd been busy that afternoon updating the Phoenix Crop Formation, an enigma quickly evolving into a mystery of galactic proportion. The appearance of the Barbury Crop Formation hanging in the sky near her meditation gardens was unquestionably tied to her endeavor of the day, and this synchronicity would soon catapult the entire affair back across the Atlantic to England and Edie, then Mexico, and finally connect it back again to Peru and yet another enigma-- an ancient Stone Forest on the top of the world.

~ BARBURY IN THE SKY MESSAGE ~
Urubamba, Sacred Valley of the Incas
10-27-99

"Fear not,
you Sons and Daughters are not without wisdom,
they are working for you.

You are the One to bring it to them on the Lights of the Father's
and Mother's of the Light.

The dish is your passage, listen and listen well.
The time is shortened in your dimension.

Hear what we have for you
see what you will see."


The above message was received by another traveler in the group. It came in an intuitive manner during a group meditation on the same afternoon the photos were taken. The group did not know what to make of the strange message. It wouldn't be understood until much later, long after the photos were processed in England. The message resurfaced on May 2, 2005, when Edie was cleaning out a drawer. She'd completely forgotten about this message when it suddenly appeared after 6 years, and during the time she was corresponding with Kathy about the Urubamba photos. She thought it might be important. On the same day as the message was uncovered, Kathy was in Sedona with friends Kallista Snow (Signs of Destiny Crop Circle Conference) and Daphne Montori, and together the three women witnessed an extraordinary sight-- a massive heron flying over Oak Creek against a magnificent panoramic Cathedral Rock. And, directly manifested overhead, cloudships! The women took many photos over a 20 minute period, although a light breeze sent the puffy clouds moving briskly along, the cloudships remained stationary and did not change shape. When Kathy later recieved the note from Edie, she realized that the date the message had reappeared was the same day she and her friends had been in Sedona. And, the appearance of both on the same day was too synchronistic to have been mere coincidence.

Using the free orbital calculator at SkyViewCafe.com, I determined the date of this planetary alignment to be August 9, 2014, 1700 GMT.

We are listening, and listening well. In these rapidly accelerating times, it is our ability to open our hearts and minds, and surrender to the beauty and extraordinary journey of life that allows for this communion with the Divine. This is our private and personal, and most sacred journey -- a journey we've collectively embarked upon at this pivotal moment in history.

I was to receive further insight when in the fall of 2003 and again in the spring of 2004,
I returned to the Sacred Valley of the Incas and Pachatusan mountain, and beheld a bridge of light,
connecting the ancient crosses of Light. ~ Kathy Doore







Along the Pilgrim's Path to Machu Picchu

By Kathy Doore

River Rock Labyrinth, Urubamba, Sacred Valley of the Incas, Cusco, Peru


Spring 1997 -- we traveled to Urubamba by way of Pachatusan Mountain, Peru, on March 23, 1997, during the lunar eclipse with comet Hale-Bopp overhead, to build a labyrinth for Chaska Sanctuary. That night I had a dream at the base of the holy pilgrimage site of Senor de Huanca, and returned directly to Urubamba the next day as described in my dream. Here I met the owners of a newly opened resort, and was awarded a commission to install two labyrinth meditation gardens for the Incaland Hotel. A few days earlier I'd discovered an obscure 16-rayed Star Petroglyph at Machu Picchu, which subsequently led me deeper into the Divine Mysteries, with the revelation of an ancient stone marker denoting a doorway embedded in the sacred sanctuary of the Incas, Machu Picchu. The story is featured in my new book, Markawasi: Peru's Inexplicable Stone Forest.

90' Grand Turf Labyrinth - Sacred Valley of the Incas

The Incaland Resort is located at the base of the sacred mountain, Yawar Maki, facing the El Chicon glacier, a 45 minute drive from Cusco in the village of Urubamba situated along the old pilgrim's route to Machu Picchu. I placed the smaller of the two labyrinths measuring 45 feet in diameter, near the pool area. It is entirely made of river rock from the nearby Urubamba River. As you enter the labyrinth the magnificent El Chicon glacier meets your gaze. The second labyrinth deemed the "Grande Laberinto" measures a massive 90 feet, and was placed within feet of the river's edge in a wooded grove on the outskirts of the hotel grounds. It is positioned facing east, aligned with the rising sun. The location of the two labyrinths was established by dowsing the land, asking for the most optimum placement. My Quechua crew began clearing the land in the traditional manner with plows and hand tools. Truckloads of river rock were brought up from the rivers edge to create the paths. The two newly birthed labyrinths took three weeks to complete.

An additonal finger labyrinth was painted on a huge stone oddly sandwiched up high between two large Eucalyptus limbs. It has the appearance of somehow falling from the sky. The crew erected a stone base as a platform where guests could climb up and "finger walk" the labyrinth, making it a perfect location for reading and afternoon meditation.

A workshop, and evening walking meditation for the public, initiated the labyrinth. The local folklorist group arrived in traditional dress and performed for the 100+ guests. The grand affair included a traditional walk through each labyrinth to the sound of pan pipes. A bonfire blazed at the center of the Grande Labyrinth while modern day pilgrims and their Quechua hosts made offerings to the Pachamama in thanks for her many gifts.

As descendants of the Inca the Quechua laborers were delighted
to build temples in the Sacred Valley of their ancestors.

One evening, after the completion of the River Rock labyrinth, the hotel owners joined me for a short ceremony to initiate the labyrinth. We made our offerings uttering our prayers, that the labyrinths would serve the many spiritual pilgrims on their journey. We gazed upward toward the sacred peak, Yawar Maki, where a newly risen Southern Cross had appeared as if sitting on the very crest of the mountain itself. The constellation was soon accompanied by another celestial body -- a massive, brilliantly lit, white body of light, the size of two soccar fields. It rose suddenly behind the mountain, momentarily obscuring the constellation and stopped briefly. Then shot upward at tremendous velocity, until it was out of sight. The sudden appearance of the stunning body of light confirmed our intent, blessings bestowed. A similar scenario would take place two years later in the stone forest of Markawasi. In both cases, guidence was received in remembrance of the ancient sacred journey.

The Incaland Resort Labyrinths

Near the bustling village of Urubamba located in the very heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, the Incaland Resort has become a tribute to the Labyrinth. Spiritually oriented groups stop in frequently to walk the meditation gardens. Located an hour from Cusco on the route to Machu Picchu in the Andean sub-tropics of the Urubamba Valley, the Incaland resort is a peaceful base for one of the most important travel adventures in the world according to the resort's owner, Nick Asheshov, a retired Brit and newspaper journalist. For the Incas, the Sacred Valley was the reflection of the Milky Way and literally meant "heaven on Earth". Travelers seeking something new will find there is no better place anywhere to ponder the past and to forget the future than among the great temple-universities of Pisac and Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley. Each of these marvels is just a short distance from the resort and from Machu Picchu, an hour and a half by train.

Visitors here join the Apus - the Gods of the Andes, watching their Quechua neighbors till their fields with ox-drawn wooden ploughs. This has, after all, for thousands of years been one of the most fertile valleys in the Americas. Daily fiestas, processions and markets enliven the snow-peaks and ancient terraces of this Andean Shangrila. A magical labyrinth by the river is a restful stop on the way through this natural, gentle power center. In the Sacred Valley the mystical and exotic are everyday.

Kathy Doore hosts a yearly pilgrimage to the ancient Andean sites of the Pachamama. Fifteen years ago while on a sacred solo-pilgrimage to Machu Picchu, Kathy experienced a sudden and profound awakening during a late night visit within the inner sanctum of Machu Picchu, bringing her into the work she does today. Utilizing the geomantic elements of the ancients, and sensing the natural telluric flows of the earth, she has been led to work with the ancient libraries and doorways of the Divine-- places rich in Spirit. Both a natural intuitive and an accomplished facilitator for journeys of the inner and the outer landscape, Kathy invites you to join her in Peru.
