Time Travel is Hereditary

Brianna is the daughter of Claire a time traveler and can travel. Roger is the descendant of Geillis Duncan who is a time traveler and can travel.

Jemmy is able to hear the gem stones. Gem stones which are typically warm to travelers appear hot to him suggesting is ability is stronger. This makes it likely he is the product of two travelers: Brianna and Roger.

One of Claire’s parents had to be a traveler.

Dancing Around Stones

We are privy to a glimpse of the past where the indigenous people are dancing around a set of standing stones. Many cultures did this in different locations to open the passageway in the stones. We actually see this happen in the first episode where Claire and Frank watch the dancing around the stones of Craigh na Dun.

The Buzzing of the Stones

Brianna tells Claire after Geillis goes through the stones that she heard them. Both Claire and Brianna hear the stones. Roger also appears to have heard the stones. This seems to be an indication you have the ability to travel.

Initially, when Claire went through the stones there was a strange buzzing sound.

Returning & Steering

Claire left Jamie in 1746 and returned to Frank in 1947. That is a 202 year difference.

She traveled with Jamie’s father’s ring and it was missing the stone when she got to 1948.

Geillis/Gillian goes through the stones in 1968 and clearly travels back more than 203 years because she’s there before Claire. We don’t know if she got there 1 or 5 years before but if she got there 5 minutes before then she went back 225 years. Clearly she was there enough time to establish herself and seduce Arthur Duncan into marriage so I’d guess 230 years.

Geillis Druid Ritual

Claire goes in search for Geillis and finds her in the woods doing a druid/pagan ritual. Claire notices the similarities to the dancers at the stones. Claire watches on as Geillis dances noticing Geillis is pregnant. When Geillis finish’s her ritual she calls for Claire to come out. Claire confronts Geillis about the pregnancy. Geillis tells Claire not even Arthur knows and when Claire asks how that is possible Geillis tells her Arthur hasn’t seen her out of her cloths. Geillis confesses that Dougal is her love and the child is his. Geillis tells Claire her ritual or summoning is to ask for Dougal and her freedom from their respective marriages.

What is the connection to the dancing similar to that of the stone dancers?
