I've got some pictures somewhere of me sitting on top of one of the horizontal cap stones with our station wagon right behind it. I don't think that graffiti was too much of a worry back then.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of Druids, ever hear about William Price from Wales? Pretty "interesting" fellow who resurrected Druidism there in the 1800's, I wrote a short story on him at my site.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the fantastic writing!cyurkaninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10544849696034906766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-21182545328379976552008-09-13T15:48:00.000-04:002008-09-13T15:48:00.000-04:00Hi, I totally love your site, so much great info! ...Hi, I totally love your site, so much great info!

I'm so glad that you were at least able to experience another circle. Aren't they fascinating?<BR/><BR/>I had heard that Merlin was supposedly a Druid, and I actually have him earmarked in a book I have to read up on, so sometime in January I think I will dissect his past :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Shannon, Scotland is on my bucket list too!!! <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much as always for your fabulous comments ladies!

Scotland and Ireland are on my bucket list, that's for sure.<BR/>I can only imagine how it felt to be standing in those areas.

Perhaps because when I went to Stonehenge you couldn't get near the stones because people had been leaving graffitti all over them. There is an Anya Seton novel called the Mistletoe and the Sword set in Roman Britain that has a druid priest and wasn't Merlin supposed to be druid priest?Elizabeth Kerri Mahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763642809052430107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-17552028908845899982008-09-02T07:35:00.000-04:002008-09-02T07:35:00.000-04:00Thank you Paisley!
