A Mystical Druid Ceremony at Stonehenge
Druids Among the Stones at Stonehenge
How often does a tourist stumble upon a Druid Ceremony at Stonehenge? We were amazingly lucky to watch what appeared to be a very serious spiritual ceremony among those huge standing stones. I could imagine that Stonehenge without the trail of tourists following the road around the site would be quite impressive. It’s impressive even with them!
Nobody really knows why the great stones were carried so far and arranged as they are. Was it a giant calendar? A healing center? A place to worship the dead? There are lots of theories, but one thing everyone agrees upon is that ever since its construction 3500 years ago, it has been a deeply spiritual place.
The cluster of stone is ringed by great green fields dotted with white fluffy sheep calmly munching the grass while posing for tourist photos almost as if they knew that they were an equally important component of the Stonehenge experience. The clusters of clouds blowing across the sky shaded and lit the stones alternately adding to the drama of the scene.
Druids in cloaks or long robes, some hooded gathered at the center of the ring of stones heads bowed listening to an invocation we tourists could not hear from our ring road, so it was like watching a silent movie with only the wind whispering by our ears. I couldn’t stop taking pictures as they broke up to commune with the stones, brushing them with their hands, leaning in to listen to them and quietly wandering among the towering monoliths wrapped in their own thoughts.
Fascinating……I felt privileged to have a peek into what was obviously a special moment at Stonehenge. What more can I say?
