"Have you been somewhere for the very first time and yet known that you have been there before and its like coming home?"
That is so exactly my experience of Avebury I would like to add a few pennorth more.
Visiting Stonehenge for the first time was a marvelous experience, but remote, the stones and the place are too austere to really connect with us small creatures wandering amongst them. As a site it is very masculine. Please note I am not remotely trying for political correctness here, a spade and a fork may well be 'digging implements', but they are very different creatures, as are men and women.
Avebury says, loud and clear, 'You are well come.' It is, as far as I am concerned, the feminine to Stonehenges masculine. Where Stonehenge is austere and remote, Avebury in connected and in tune, resonating one life form to another together. The exclusive as against the inclusive. I know of no one who connects to Stonehenge in the way so many of us connect to Avebury.
And I very much hope that we (some/all) do meet up one day Thorgrim.
