Aengus was a Celtic bardic god and one of the Tuatha Dé Danann who was a handsome witty harpist revered as the "God of Love" in Ireland, especially in Brugh na Bóinne, "The Valley of The Boyne" from around 500 BCE until 400 ACE. As a Celtic Irish Deity, Aengus was depicted on monuments in diverse carvings and inscriptions. Part of the Tara King lineage, he was also mentioned in "Cycles of Kings" and "Book of Invasions". Patron of musicians, poets, and song magicians, "Angus the Young" had four birds, symbolic of kisses, which encircled his head and inspired love in everyone who heard them sing. During the Dreaming, he met a young maiden who he fell in love with immediately. When he awoke, the love he still felt for her in his heart was so intense that Aengus searched far and wide for her, even enlisting the help of others. Finally someone told him where he might find her. When Aengus arrived at the Lake of the Dragon's Mouth, he picked her out from amongst 150 other maidens.
Her name was Caer and once
a year, on November 1st, she was transformed into a swan. Aengus was told that
he would win her hand in marriage if he was able to identify her as a swan. On
that day, he called out to his love on the water and once he identified Caer,
Aengus transformed himself into a swan and swam out to join her. As they flew off
together they sang such a beautiful song that all who heard them sing as a duo
fell asleep for three days and three nights.
The Sacred Sites focal points of Hierarch Aengus and the Fourth Ray of Wisdom Integration are Trillium Lake, Mount Hood, which forms a picturesque backdrop for the City of Portland, and, Dowth, which is located in the Boyne River Valley in County Meath Ireland. The 11, 239 ft high, snow capped Mount Hood is Oregon's highest peak; and; with the growth and collapse of its many lava domes over the last 30,000 years, it is also one of the major Cascade Range volcanoes. Part of the Mount Hood Wilderness Area, the mountain is a popular scenic and recreational resource year round. Hierarch Aengus shares the Mount Hood Sacred Site focal point with his soulmate wife Hierarch Caer, also a Hierarch of the Fourth Ray. Mount Hood also serves as the Heart Fourth Chakra of the planetary divinity bridge and the etheric higher dimensional human body light body matrix.

Hierarch Aengus occasionally visits the Dowth Sacred Site focal point which he shares with his soulmate wife Hierarch Caer, also a Hierarch of the Fourth Ray. Dowth, a megalithic Sacred Mound, was located on the north bank of the Boyne river, a couple of miles from the Slane to Drogheda road on the west end of a long ridge two kilometres east of Newgrange in County Meath, Ireland. Believed to be the oldest of the three Boyne Valley passage chambers (Dowth, Knowth, Newgrange), with a height of fifteen metres and a diameter of eighty-five metres, Dowth was also built around the same timeframe, more than 5,000 years ago. The ancient site of two Passage Chambers, Dowth radiates an Otherworldly tranquility and an interrelated spirituality with the surrounding Natural World landscape despite its legendary status as the "Fairy Mound of Darkness". Once there was an immense henge close to Dowth, as well as, numerous nearby Sacred Mound passage chambers. The two Passage Chambers of Dowth (Dowth North and Dowth South) had lower roofs and shorter passages than either Newgrange or Knowth. Dowth North had an eight metre passage that lead to a cruciform orthostat chamber with three recesses symbolizing Triplication. After travelling down a passage that first turned right and then turned left, Celts had to cross three sill stones to gain access to an Otherworld alcove. Dowth South passage, which had a right hand recess with Celtic sun wheel talisman engravings, had a three and half metre long passage with a collapsed corbelled vault roof that was replaced by a concrete one and a circular chamber. The Kerbstone by the entrance had a spiral engraving. The spiraling, swirling patterns which the Celts utilized to express their spiritual connectivity with the sacred mysteries, mirrored the inspirational beauty and harmony of the Natural World. From two to four in the afternoon on the Winter Solstice days, the setting sun illuminated the passage and the engraved stone at the back of the chamber. On the beautifully engraved, astronomical calendar Kerbstone 51 at Dowth, these seven Pleiadian star sisters were depicted as seven sun wheel stars radiating light from their Heartcores. The path of the Sun of this solar system along the ecliptic during the Spring Equinox in 3000 BCE in the Boyne Valley crossed the celestial equator and signaled the start of the new astrological age of Taurus.
Higher than either
Knowth or Newgrange with a top eighty-seven metres above sea level, the Dowth
Sacred Mound was cruelly desecrated during an 1847 excavation. The Dowth Sacred
Mound stones were also relentlessly quarried. Almost half of the stones have
been removed leaving behind a mammoth wound that continued the grim legacy of
its Irish name "Dubad" which means "Darkness". To learn more about Dowth please
