I hope to head back to Halton Gill in the near future and successfully visit the actual Halton Gill Giant's Graves, after which I will write an new blog post about this site, with more information, which will be unrelated to and separate from this first blog post published on this page you are currently on, about certain aspects to this site, the possible new site, and related topics. Note I have published many things recently, including other, unrelated things about giants and other, different archaeological sites. Note that I have briefly made other references to this site elsewhere, but this article in front of you, and the next about this site, discuss entirely new aspects, as well as personal experiences connected to this site, a dream possibly connected to the giants of Yorkshire and to the Nuckelavee, and other feelings about giants on the mountains of North Yorkshire, and other personal experiences in Yorkshire and its magic, including about meeting someone and falling asleep on a chair, and other things. I have discussed more on Yorkshire giants and giants elsewhere in other publications, with only specific, newly discovered aspects discussed in this article, although I have briefly talked about the Halton Gill Giant's Graves elsewhere a few times, with different details to those in this article/blog publication and to those that will be shared in my upcoming, different article to the one of this page, about this site. The photo descriptions above the photos also contain important information not in the main text, but related to it.

I also also published a lot recently, including on this website and elsewhere, about different aspects to these topics, for example an article the day before yesterday about some other, different archaeological sites in the Eden Valley, and an article/blog post before this blog post, the previous one being about Ull in Cumbria. Other different aspects to Ull and the Ullstone are included in this article/blog post on this page. No AI was used in this article. This article/blog post was published in the UK, and I the author am from the UK and live in the UK. This article/blog post contains 2644 words.

Note I mention horses in this article about Ull/Ullr, but that few days ago I published another unrelated article but about about the Finnish language, where horses and words for "horse" are touched upon in a different way, e.g. English "hobby" and Finnish "hevonen" and their similarities etc. For reference purposes, the URL of this article/blog post is: https://www.languages-of-linnunrata.co.uk/2908176_searching-for-ull-an-ancient-god-of-eastern-cumbria-and-other-discussions-published-on-02-01-2026 .

This article is unrelated to any and all of my other publications, including those where aspects of the topics in this article are discussed in different ways and including other publications recently. No AI was used in this article.

The photo descriptions above the photos contain information not in the main text. The main written content begins below the photo below the photo description below. This blog post or article contains 4190 words. This article uses some in-text citations. The topics discussed in photo descriptions relate more to my recent explore in the valley and discuss different aspects e.g. Wrengill slate mine and other things, often different topics from the the main text, both are equally important, as are the photos. Note - this blog post is rather long. This article contains many topics that go far beyond Longsleddale itself, its history, place-names, wizards, and my experiences and also recent journey there, but which also connect to a more esoteric range of romance, fantastical and spiritual topics. Note I have published much recently including other unrelated publications that relate to witches and sorcery etc, unrelated to the topics of this blog post.

Article/blog post written and published by Linden Alexander Pentecost, published on the 22nd of December 2025. I have published many other things recently including other blog posts on this website.

Sacred places in Northwest England, published on the 21/12/2025

Written and published by Linden Alexander Pentecost, published in the UK. The author is also from the UK and lives in the UK. This blog post article is published on the 21st of December 2025 and only on this website. This article is unrelated to any and all of my other publications, including others where I discuss some of the places in this article, albeit in a different way.I have written, and published this blog post on the winter solstice of 2025 (21/12/2025), and it is likely not a coincidence that in this blog post/article, I have written much about the ancestors, and mythical traditions. I believe that this stuff is real. I believe that there are ancestral guardians who can make themselves known in the northwest of England today. This article is also an acknowledgement of those ancestors, and - for thousands of years, our ancestors in Britain would have been in touch with their ancestors and spiritual guardians, especially on the Winter Solstice. This article, as well as sharing some beautiful places in Cumbria, and one in Lancashire, and their mythology, traditions and my own research and thoughts, with language, archaeology, and magic, blended in - this article also I hope invites us to look upon our ancestors, to have empathy for them and for the living nature around us. The 5 photos in this article (each pertaining to one of the places discussed) were also taken by the author and have not been published before. This article contains 3242 words. The photos are placed at the end of each place discussion, before the next place discussion, with separate text above each photo. I mention two separate dreams in this article. The otherworld is mentioned often in this article, with regard to different places and things.

This blog post or article is unrelated to and separate from all my other publications - including others which discuss the Duddon Valley and even some of the names and places mentioned in this article, albeit in a different way & with different information & different photos. Photos also taken by Linden Alexander Pentecost. Note that the smaller text in italics above the photos contains a lot of details not in the main text. Note I published an unrelated (different content to other publications) PDF-only book not so long ago which talks about Logan Beck, its mines, other mines, Logan Beck and other etymologies, and more details on etymologies and archaeology in relation to this area and to the Pengennet in the Duddon Valley in more detail and different details to those discussed here (there is also much more information in the aforementioned book not in this article, and much more in this article not in other publications). I also published another PDF-only book recently where I also discuss underground places, and have published recently, and will publish more things in the near future that pertain to the underground, again unrelated to this and the aforementioned and all other publications. Note that exploring mines is dangerous and that many of the mines mentioned in this article are far too dangerous even for experienced mine explorers to safely explore. This article/blog post contains 2665 words and 3 photos not published elsewhere.

This website is created by Linden Alexander Pentecost, and the content is written by Linden Alexander Pentecost. I have published far, far more, on my other websites, in PDF-only books, kindle-only books, in print-only books, in other articles on websites, and elsewhere - than I have on the website currently in front of you. Nevertheless this website contains its own unique, important content, and is just as important as my other outlets of publication. www.languages-of-linnunrata.co.uk is intended as a website for sharing specific information about specific languages; my other publications and websites by comparison are in a sense much more general, but also very detailed.
