Couldn't agree with you more Pilgrim - there's often an over emphasis on the 'sacred' aspect. Tuesday summed it up when he said, "The nave of old St Paul's cathedral was used as a market place with records of people weeing in dark corners and cows running amok."

Precisely. Every time I hear people banging on about lay lines, centres of spiritual energy, etc etc I too want to go and pee in the corner. On the other hand... there's room enough for all. Perhaps the word 'harmony' does it better than sacred. There's a certain harmony with the land and the megalithic structures you so often find within it.

Thom said it best -

Turn and look back. You'll see horizons
Much like the ones they saw,
The tomb-builders, millennium ago;
The channel scratched by rain, the same old
Sediment of dusk, winter returning.
