Very interesting read! Especially since you throw in your own thoughts and views, makes your post worthwhile to read rather then just googling or looking it up in wiki.

You got me interested so I hauled out my journal. March 7, 1989 was the day your mom and I visited Stonehenge. You might recall being abandoned for a couple weeks so that your parents could go traipsing off to the the UK for a couple weeks or so. If you didn’t recall, (guess you would have been about 1 1/2 years old) well now you have an excuse for any future necrosis’.

But concerning the ‘Henge, I was also taken by the site, and by the sight of the stones. There is a kind of ethereal perplexity about the place that had me wondering as I wandered. Back then you could walk right up to the stones but were discouraged from touching them.

By the way there are smaller versions of Stonehenge around the country. There are the Avebury circles which we visited as they were not too far from our place of lodging at Blockley. Also, as my journal has it, there is, somewhere, Woodhenge, and the Durrington Walls.

Your justified to conclude that these sights were used for ritualistic sacrifice and ceremony. Essentially they were birthplaces for various forms of religion. As places of historical conjecture places like Stonehenge are not just fascinating, they may still hold certain social understandings. As axis’ of ancient energy…suspect the energy as sacrificial.

Thanks for writing and (when you have time) keeping us updated. (Thanks for your comment on my Ocean post…feel free to link me:)

Good call my dear. Keep your life, as much as possible, seamed together. Be where you are, live in your skin, be in the moment. You have a wise friend.

By the way, I’ve added a link to your blog on Grow Mercy.

Love you daughter.
