Drove for two hours today to reach Thornborough Henge in North Yorkshire. This is an ancient henge - there are three of them linked by an avenue. To quote from the website "
Thornborough Henge is a 5000 year old stone age monument consisting of three giant circular earthworks. The entire complex is over a mile in length and the layout of the three Henges resembles that of the three stars found in the centre of the Orion constellation. The Henge monument would have aligned almost perfectly with these three stars on Winter Solstice (the shortest day) 5000 years ago." (http://www.sacredbrigantia.com/index.php) We were in the central henge to celebrate Beltane courtesy of the Sacred Brigantia group.
This was my first time at such a gathering as usually I celebrate such things solitary or with my immediate family, so it was an opportunity to experience a ceremony. I thoroughly enjoyed it and there such energy there - so positive and alive. Loved the drumming and the feelings. It was also nice to sit down and relax and take in the energy of the place.
The weather was wonderful - sunny, though there was a wind. Everyone I was with enjoyed themselves and we also bought a few trinkets while we there.
I would certainly participate again.
Came back feeling very refreshed and carried out my blessings in the garden.
Love and light and reiki blessings
