you really have quite a way with words.
I now have goosebumps and a longing to visit this place which impacted you so.
Thanks for sharing,

Definately. The reason that they needed to find the solstice is that is when they sacrificed their firstborn to Molluk (Molloch, Molokai, etc See Hislop for more info). The exact same ritual mentioned in the Bible.
Alexander Hislop?
I broke off from the rest of the group and walked all the way around to the far edge of the circle. As I did, a huge black crow settled onto one of the plinths. My discomfort increased, but I raised my camera and took a picture, which doesn't appear nearly as ominous as it felt.
There was a rowdy group of punkers hanging out nearby, but even they muted their antics as they approached the stones. When we finally left, I felt somber and preoccupied, like I'd left some business unfinished ...
It wasn't that it was necessarily evil, more that it was a place of many hidden stories, and one where great power once circulated.
Or maybe I was just imagining it all.
I believe one pretty much gets back the emotions and feelings they bring to such places. I felt absolutely no evil there: only the awe of what you describe: "many hidden stories, and one where great power once circulated."
Unfortunately, there are too many risks these days to allow people to get that close anymore. It was one of the great thrills of my young life to sit on those stones, where, perhaps, some of my ancestors visited.
Not evil. Foreboding. A sense of dread. Formless tension. I'm not sure how to describe it without sounding like a cheap seance. And I'm sure I had been predisposed to that aura by the tales I've heard told.
But I'm not one normally susceptible to those kinds of suggestions, and I had looked forward to the visit, more out of curiosity than any dalliance with the paranormal.
Yet the feeling was there, and looking at the pictures still conjures up that shadowy whisper that "something is not right here."
And what of the Celts we know the Irish, Scots and Welsh?And the Woads.
There's so much we don't know about the supernatural world. Your experience is very interesting. M
