Stone Circles: Just Pretty Or Pretty Unusual?
Stone circles are a constant source of interest. Tourists, archaeologists, anthropologists and especially geomancers all find them to be fascinating. They can be highly impressive, like those at Stonehenge or Avebury in England. They can also be little more than a jumble of fallen and missing stones, making it hard to realize there was a stone circle there.
What's so special about them?Here, you can take your pick of reasons people think they are special:- They are accurate calendars from long ago
- They are keepers and storers of energies we don't understand
- They once connected up with other, similar places in a kind of transport network (although no-one understands how that worked)
- They controlled the flows of energy in the land
There are good arguments for the first three on the list. But it is the last one which is more important here.It has often been argued that the people who erected the circles of old had access to knowledge or understanding which we lack today. Perhaps that is so. Perhaps there was a connection between many of them which has died or changed over the years. And perhaps those connections really did have a widespread positive effect on the land. We will never know for certain. What we can know, however, is that there really is something going on inside them today. And we don't understand it. There are both measurable and dowseable radiations inside the old stones. (The longest and largest examination of such energies was the Dragon Project in England which started with the Rollright Stones in Oxfordshire.) How they might have changed over the years is impossible to say. But the fact remains; there is energy within them. You don't have to dowse to feel it. Just go and stand inside a place like Stonehenge and you know it. Let us assume that the old people did know something we don't. Isn't it just possible that one of the reasons for building these strange and fascinating things is that they have a job? And isn't it possible that that job was to allow the energy of the landscape around them to run freely and without harming people or making them ill? If you accept that as a possibility, wouldn't it be great if you could build something like that today and make your home healthy and have it stay that way? In other words, try to think of stone circles as old machines and you'll probably see them in a new light. Back to Home Sacred Spaces Page Back to Home Page from Stone Circles Page
