In 1995, when i first started saving posts about the place, one source (name lost, alas) said it is "80% scale," mmazurek@reed.edu (Weazel) said it was "full size," and mv4020@Access.Mountain.Net said "it looks like a scale model." Can some person who has been there clear up this confusion? >> I am hoping to make a trip to the one in Washington next year -- all >> this talk has kinda fired me up about it, actually. >There is a Summer Solstice ritual there every year, and Portland >magickal folks do other things like the Silver Wheel event, an evening >of ritual storytelling of tales of the stars, within the henge...quite >nice... > >http://www.eskimo.com/~carcosa/ Thanks for the information. Is it okay to just show up there on the Summer Solstice or must one be a member of an invited party of local pagans to attend? And what is "the Silver Wheel event" and when does it occur? Is it open to the public? Also, speaking of size -- the Texas Stonehenge replica, which Daniel Clark Owsley tells me is located near the town of Huntsville, was said by Paris Soulier (e-mail address lost) to be "life-size" (i.e. full-scale). catherine yronwode ---------------------- mailto:yronwode@sonic.net Lucky W Amulet Archive --- http://www.sonic.net/yronwode/LuckyW.html The Sacred Landscape - http://www.sonic.net/yronwode/sacredland.html Karezza and Tantra ---- http://www.sonic.net/yronwode/sacredsex.html Freemasonry for Women - http://www.sonic.net/yronwode/CoMasonry.html Fit to Print ----------- http://www.sonic.net/yronwode/ftpindex.html
