Forgive me. I was refering to the This-stone-radiates-a-cosmic-energy-while-holding-hands-over-it-with-eyes-closed-and-in-a-trance-brigade.

I never see a site as just the stones. A site is made up of the stones, the setting, the landscape, the weather, the other people there at the time of visit etc. To sum up a feeling at a site by saying 'the stones give off power' if they mean 'the site makes me tingle' is, in my view, more short sighted than my 'shit this place is good' approach.

Trying to attach the 'power' to the stones (which many do), to me, is madness. In many cases, the stones were brought to a place where they could highlight the 'power' of a place, where they could make a statement that the place is special. You'd know it if the stones weren't there, but you'd probably not go there if the stones weren't there to attract your attention.
