Day Five we checked out Avebury and all of the glory it offers. HA. It was fun though. This structure was said to be used possibly as a place of rituals for some sort of people in that area. Death and birth were extremely close linked and important.
The crazy part is that were is a stone known as the "fertile" stone where it is said to be helpful in gaining pregnancy. When we were checking out the area we found a little trinket bag filled with stones and a vile filled with some kind of substance. Two stones were in the shape of female and male fertility parts. This is so important because it shows how the structure not only still exists, but it is still in use!
I found that to be extremely interesting. These formations are very intricate and obviously were made for a purpose. Will we ever truly know why they were made? Most likely not, but we can try to always live on the underlying culture as did the people in Avebury long ago.
