The Ring of Brodgar, situated on a narrow isthmus between the Lochs of Stenness and Harray on the Mainland of Orkney, Scotland, are strategically placed megalithic monuments in the British Isles. Forming a near-perfect circle of originally sixty stones, of which twenty-seven remain standing, the site is part of a massive Neolithic ceremonial landscape that includes the Stones of Stenness and the Maeshowe chambered tomb.
The Brodgar vortex is defined by its placement within a natural amphitheater of hills, creating a cauldron effect that traps and concentrates energy. Unlike many other circles, Brodgar is surrounded by a massive rock-cut ditch, which practitioners believe serves as an energetic insulator, separating the high-frequency space of the circle from the mundane world. During the summer solstice, the sun sets in alignment with the mountain peaks of Hoy.
Local folklore speaks of the stones as being dancing giants turned to rock, a myth that reflects the stones’ perceived status as living, conscious guardians of the earth’s memory. Many sensitives report feeling a magnetic pull toward the center of the ring, as well as experiencing a state of expanded consciousness where the linear passage of time begins to dissolve. This effect is often attributed to the high concentration of minerals in the sandstone reacting to the high-latitude geomagnetic activity, creating a unique atmospheric zone that supports deep meditation and the integration of higher-dimensional insights.
This vortex was registered on 11.28.20 – I was going on a trip to Scotland, which I’d always wanted to do. While there, I thought “why not see if there were some stone circles I could visit?” I always had an interest in Stonehenge but don’t know if I’d ever get the chance to see it. Also, I’ve heard people say the area doesn’t really FEEL like anything anymore. Possibly the flow of so many people has dimmed it, or maybe the vortex has shifted, who knows. I thought maybe smaller circles could be different. I took a look at the different circles Scotland had to offer, and once more I pinged on a photograph (Like I did with Mt. Moran). Basically just that feeling of INTENSITY and a compulsion to BE there. My time there was short, as I was stuck with a group but the area feels PROFOUND. I would describe it as a feeling of being windswept, exhilarated, focused, and like being on the ground yet having a birdseye view. I later had images coming to me in meditations. (There was no time to meditate on location, though I’d recommend people to do so at any of these spots) – KM

Note: There is currently no scientific method to prove that vortexes exist. Just because a location is on the vortex map, does not prove there is a vortex there. What it means, is that someone suggested the location and provided evidence or a personal account, and/or we found corroborating evidence from other sources. We do this so other visitors to the site can send us their opinion on the validity of the vortex claim, to build a consensus.
