Re: To the Heart of the Matter

Very intersting Paulus and thanks, my imagination is now working overtime.

Why would there be three small sarsens inside Silbury? According to the 'The Mysteries of Britain" by Lewis Spence - three was a sacred number to the pre-christian Britains and an important part of Bardo-Druidic philosophy, all the laws were in triads.

I am wondering if the three sarsens repesented something as in the examples below:-

"The three immovable and perfect rocks on which the judgement of the world are sustained: the poet, the written word and nature" (Irish triad from Senchus Mor).

Or "love, knowledge, truth" (the three attributes of God) but we can only speculate and I really hope that some the others who have already contributed so much to this debate have some theories to throw into the mixing pot as well.

Did your contacts say where the sarsens originated - are they the same stones that lie scattered across Fyfield Down?

regards
june
