Cosmogram Rab

The litopuncture in tadition is known as menhir (menhir-bretonian language: men=stone + hir= long; welsh language: maenir, ˝longstone˝) is a verically placed stone in a shape of individual megalith (monolith). A stone that is placed on an vital energy area of Lopar in island Rab, harmonizes vital energy of the environment and the island. The geometrical symbol, which is located on the stone- so called cosmogram marks the identity of Lopar. Its horizontal spirals express the element of water, that is strongly present in the place. The vertical line reflects the spine of the Island from the peak of Kamenjak to the peninsula Lopar by the sea. The four spirals represent four basic elements of the island (air, water, fire, earth) that prevail in the element of water in that area.

The litopunctural stone is placed on an ancient pilgrimage of our ancestors and is located on an energy line Fruga-Lopar. Lopar unites the natural power of the back (spine) and the direct connectedness with the sea. It recieves and sends out the vital energy of the sea in the whole structure of the environment. That monolith connects energy fields of places in Lopar and Rab.

With a placement of that stone in the central area of the island we vitalize its vital energy. The geometric symbol cosmogram shows connection and aligning of four basic elements of the island in the belly button of the island, Fruga. Fruga carries its character of the crossing and fusion of diverse geologic in geomantic qualities of natural in heritance of the island. The litopunctural stone is placed in the source and in the center of life forces of the island Rab. That is the belly button of the island’s body and its creative source. From the belly button, the basic source of bioenergy dilates for the whole biosphere of the island. The geometry of the cosmogram represents coordination of all four elements of the island (air is above, water is below, between the two are fire and earth)

With a placement of a monolith on the peak of the hill Kamenjak, we direct the vital energy of the island to everything that exists on it. The geometrical symbol cosmogram shows the quality of the peak from where the natural energical flow descends into the environment on both sides of the island all the way to the sea. Four spirals represent four basic elements of nature: air is above, water is below and between the two are fire and earth. The carved symbol is based on traditional values of the island. The litopunctural stone is placed on that spot to stabilize and protect energical organism of th eisland Rab. Kamenjak represents the peak of the organism of the island that is spiritually connected with a mountain Velebit and the whole environment.
