Types of Goddess Stone (some scraps) by David on Wednesday, 03 September 2008

We could say that all standing stones, no matter how they are configured, have been made human-like by being set upright. No doubt there are multiple explanations - sometimes the profile of a stone looks like a face. Perhaps they were all intended as portraits and dedicated to individuals - who may have sponsored their placement. Althougth we identify the sun and moon as being male and female, respectively, we can't assume that the ancients did too. Tibetans still perform sky burials, and there the agents are vultures. It's not a passive process, however, and the bodies are disarticulated and processed for the birds, which are given the crushed bones and gristle first, the viscera second, and the muscular flesh last of all. And, finally, I'll submit Holymire as a site, here, fairly soon.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
