Stonehenge



The Celts preferred to perform their rituals outside in the Natural World underneath the never-ending circle of sky in forest clearings, in open air shrines, and in sacred groves. While the Greeks and Romans built elaborate temples to their gods and goddesses, the Celts preferred the hallowed places and natural sanctuaries of the Earth.
All of the animals, forests, lakes, mountains, rivers, and trees were blessed and holy to the Celts and worthy of their utmost reverence. The Natural World inspired their imaginations and enlivened their art.
Some of these blessed countryside settings were further enhanced for ceremonial connectivity purposes by the addition of Megalithic Standing Stones, Passage Cairns, and Stone Circles. The ancient Celts were devoted to maintaining their spiritual balance and sacred connectivity with the natural world by treating all things hallowed with the respect and reverence they deserved
