Just thinking aloud about the words (English, but may apply in other languages) that we use when talking about star forts/castles/cathedrals/monasteries etc., some dictionary definitions, and their connections to 'power'.

Power: Strength or energy, control, the moving force of anything, the driving force of a machine........and so on.
Battery: a series of two or more electric cells arranged to produce or store electricity.
Bastion is
Bast: the conductive material in a plant
Ion: an electrically charged particle formed by loss or gain of electrons by an atom, effectingby its migration the transport of electricity.
Plant, power plant etc
City: a town that has or had a cathedral, (also base of power eg City Of London)
ElectriCity
Citadel: A fortress in or near a city. Del/Nabla/delta etc
Vault/Volt
Keep/Store
Cathedral: From kathedra (seat) or kata (down)? as in Cathode, the negative terminal or electrode in a battery; in valves and tubes, the source of electrons.
Cell: nucleus/room in monastery etc
Organ: a means of communicating information, a part of a body fitted for carrying on a natural or vital operation etc,

Star forts were/are to do with generating and storing power....

Hey Silvie - I'm seriously on-board with that idea.

'Field' -

The region in which a particular condition prevails, especially one in which a force or influence is effective regardless of the presence or absence of a material medium.

The force exerted or potentially exerted in a field.
‘the variation in the strength of the field

Thank you for that Sylvie. It is clear that we live in an encoded world. Words, symbols & design, gestures, colours, numbers, and sound/music can and are used to transmit coded messages. Some of these messages need to be decoded, some are decoded subliminally and many are now used unknowingly by innocents. The innocent use of code does not mean that it is harmless either, that is to say, for example, the devil horns symbol used by metal fans may have a more sinister connotation. Thanks to people like yourself who are seeking to decipher these codes we are getting a clearer picture of things.

Personally, one word in particular that I am trying to encourage people not to use is "kids" for children, kids are baby goats and that has dark undertones.

Nice work Sylvie!
Words have may meanings.
Words like:
"Skullduggery"
"Cover-up"
"Brainwash"
"Sheeple" (US military and Intel Community slang)

Someday soon, someone in power will say: "We would have gotten away with covering up all those star forts and mounds if it wasn't for Shaggy
and Scooby-Doo and those meddling kids!"
