Coral Castle in Homestead, Florida - Hole in the Donut Cultural Travel
Ley Lines Converge At Coral Castle To Create Powerful Energy Spot June 29, 2020May 26, 2009 by Barbara Weibel Everything happens for a reason. I was on the last leg of my trip home and had every intention of driving straight through to Sarasota when I got a phone call from the contractor I had hired to install a new kitchen in the Key West apartment. Apparently Home Depot no longer keeps the type of cabinets I need in stock; ordering them would take eight weeks, during which time I would be unable to rent the apartment. I had no choice but to detour through Florida City and see if I could buy what I needed at that Home Depot and have it transferred to the Key West store. Two hours later I headed out again and, rather that retrace my steps to take Alligator Alley across the state, I turned onto Krome Avenue, bound for Tamiami Trail. Passing through downtown Homestead, I noticed banners on the light poles advertising “Coral Castle.” The name was familiar; I vaguely recalled reading about this attraction on the Internet and bookmarking it, thinking it would be an interesting place to visit. I thought briefly about detouring to see it but then dismissed the idea; I really wanted to get back home. Not long afterward the sun started to set and I changed my mind. Crossing through 100 miles of deserted, black Everglades when I was exhausted was simply not a good idea, so I turned back toward Homestead, sure I would find a motel along Rt. 1. Instead, I ran straight into the Coral Castle. There was no way I could NOT stop. It was quite clear this is where I was supposed to be. <img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-7333" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="coral_castle2" src="https://holeinthedonut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/coral_castle2.jpg" alt="coral_castle2" width="500" height="333" srcset="https://holeinthedonut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/coral_castle2.jpg 500w, https://holeinthedonut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/coral_castle2-300x199.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />Overview of site, showing massive sculptures mounted atop the perimeter walls From the moment I stepped through the main gate, I knew this was a powerful place. It positively throbbed with energy. The perimeter of the rectangular area was delineated by a two story wall of coral blocks, within which stood dozens of enormous sculptures, also carved from coral excavated on site and in nearby Florida City. Giant coral rocking chairs, tables, beds, a bathtub, and fountains were scattered around the compound; even a well had been dug into the coral, providing access to sweet, cool water. A leviathan Saturn, Mars, Venus, and quarter Moon sat top the perimeter wall, peering down on a row of elevated thrones. <img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-7332" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="coral_castle3" src="https://holeinthedonut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/coral_castle3.jpg" alt="coral_castle3" width="500" height="333" srcset="https://holeinthedonut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/coral_castle3.jpg 500w, https://holeinthedonut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/coral_castle3-300x199.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />Visitors sit in one of the many “thrones” found at Coral Castle, beneath carvings of (left to right) Mars, Saturn, Venus, and a quarter Moon The woman at the front entrance had explained that nine ley lines – electromagnetic lines that criss-cross the earth and are used by migratory birds to ensure they stay on the correct path – converge on this site. I walked slowly through the courtyard, holding my hands out from my sides with palms facing the earth, testing to see if I could feel anything. At first, just my fingertips tingled, but slowly, the vibration spread up through my hands. Like a human dowser, I moved left, right, forward, back, trying to pinpoint the source of the energy. Suddenly, a guide who was conducting a tour nearby excused himself from his group and walked over to me. “Let me show you something. Put your hand here,” he said, indicating a place on a giant coral sundial. I held my hand a few inches from the rock and scanned back and forth. “Do you feel it?” he asked. <img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-7331" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="coral_castle1" src="https://holeinthedonut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/coral_castle1.jpg" alt="coral_castle1" width="500" height="333" srcset="https://holeinthedonut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/coral_castle1.jpg 500w, https://holeinthedonut.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/coral_castle1-300x199.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" />Intense energy radiated from the front of the sundial (foreground) into my hand. Ed lived on the upper floor of the two story structure shown in the distance; his workshop was on the ground floor. My hand got hot and started to vibrate. I moved back and forth in ever smaller increments, looking for th...
