My parents were at Oxford in the fifties, and tell a story of heading down to stone henge one midsummer's eve, when there was no fence around it and you could climb up like the kids at Avebury.
There were a number of folks doing the waiting for dawn vigil, including a party of neo-druids in robes, who were having a ceremony, and another group of young students who'd been working their way through some mead-substitutes all night. As dawn came and the sun rose over the kingstone, all the druids got up and started chanting, elaborately pretending not to notice (as only the english can) the drunk student who was perched on one of the sarsen stones 'conducting' them with a stalk of celery.

Yes, that was Mary Stewart. I don't think she's alone, however. Pretty much anything weird in britian has had the name merlin attached to it at one time or another.Joseph E. Smith wrote:Must've been Mary Stewart's books. Her story suggests Merlin built it as a tomb/memorial for his papa, Ambrosius... brother of Uther, Arthur's papa... so it goes.Walden wrote:I read somewhere that Merlin the Magician made Stonehenge.
Archeology, however, says that it was built several millenia before any of the indo-europeans left asia. By beaker-folk, iirc.
But not that kind.
Or this one.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Have any of you who've been to Stonehenge been healed?
