It doesn't mean I don't believe in the 'magic' of the sun coming up through mist, morning dew on cobwebs, the flash of a fox or hare, a buzzard or kite circling a stone circle or long barrow. I think most of the stone circles (apart from Avebury) I have visited have usually been in remote, unspoiled places that are often difficult to get to - so it is the relationship of the ancient site to the landscape/skyscape around it that makes most of us feel in touch with something far bigger than ourselves - the universe I guess. Sometimes there is a sense of 'pilgrimage' too, just by getting there.


I couldn't agree more. Journeys to the stones have reawakened an awareness of seasons and nature I misplaced in my teens, when bedroom miserabilism took over any interest in getting outside.
