Avebury at Last
Day 6 was the day I’d been waiting for for over a year: Our visit to the sacred sites of Avebury.
Avebury is a vast Neolithic henge monument containing three massive stone circles, and is part of a grouping of ceremonial sites in the area that includes West Kennet Long Barrow and Silbury Hill.
Like the vibrant lands around EarthSpirit centre, there’s a unique energy here.
The people who built this henge, which is older and larger than Stonehenge, kept the natural shapes of the stones. No carving or shaping whatsoever. So the images within them are entirely natural.
Many have seats and hand holds. The pilgrims to these sites would have been encouraged to touch them and visit with them.
This isn’t a hands-off place! Even today it’s free to visit and everyone can touch the stones.
We started at the entrance to one of the smaller circles. It was guarded by a well-rounded Mother stone and a tall, linear Father stone.
Our guides encouraged us to touch them and feel their energies.
The words that I received from the Mother stone were: “Come to me. Let me hold you.”
And the Father stone’s message was: “Be still. Be here now.”
Like the land of Avalon, the stones of Avebury are alive. But size doesn’t matter. Location doesn’t matter. ALL land is alive. ALL stones are alive. They have consciousness as much as we do, simply on a different level.
They have witnessed the journey of the Earth since time immemorial. And each stone has its own message to share.
But we don’t need to travel to Avebury to experience this magic. Any stone, any pebble, will gladly share its wisdom with you. You need only ask.
