Guest guest Posted April 29, 2004 Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 Bonnie: Unfortunately I have not traveled Ireland, but as Mike says there are monolithic structures the world over. I recall the guide at Avebury telling us that most ancient churches were built over areas where ley lines crossed because these places were pagan gathering or spiritual places. In order to change the peoples thinking and attitude re these places the Church sort of confiscated the land or to enhance the perception of their spiritual powers they built on these sites. Also, I suspect, this interrupted the pagan rites or activities. Did you know that practically every English church has the high alter located at the East end of the church. I believe it is the east end if my memory serves me correctly and Westminister Abbey is built over a ley line crossing site. I know I have seen documentaries about monolithic structures located in Ireland, stone circles more ancient than Stonehenge even, but for the life of me I do not remember any names. The Irish are famous for superstition and the belief in fairies and elves and such. The Catholic church couldn't shake it out of the Irish. If we have any English or Irish ceda members they will know of these places. Regards, Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
