Hunting Stones #2 Avebury 2005

The "Stones" series will not be sequential. I must, perhaps write in the dates, but that may not be so important.

In September 2005 my sister and I travelled off the beaten track from Bath to Windsor, when suddenly she noticed a Standing Stone. We looked around and we were indeed surrounded by standing stones. We had stumbled by some intervention (because I don't believe in coincidence!) on the mystical town of Avebury, and that on the most of auspicious days: the autumn equinox. It was a mystical, wonderful day.

We first noticed the Travellers, with their colourful caravans.



Terry Dobney (Keeper of the Stones at Avebury) Although the stones are much older than Druidism, and Druidism is actually a tree religion, The Arch Druid Terry Dobney is nonetheless seen as the most knowledgeable person regarding the Stones.

Most of the stones have faces.
