Wishing everyone a merry Christmas, a joyously chaotic New Years and a generally disruptively creative time in general, because I think, it will be better in 2016 to be flexible of spirit and discretionary spending of energy. How about setting aside some time and some quid, some dolleros, some clam shells, for those who have by no fault of their own found themselves on the most chaotic side of things and aren't doing well. Next year, it may be you or someone you know, or someone you don't know, who you see this month and appears to be doing great.
Surprise is the way of things, and so great when you can provide it first.

Stonehenge winter solstice celebratedThousands of people gathered at Stonehenge to witness the sunrise on the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. Crowds arrived at the Wiltshire landmark before dawn with many others travelling to the Avebury stone circle, which is also in the county. The winter solstice marks the point when the North Pole is tilted 23.5 degrees away from the sun. The solstice occurred at 04:49 GMT, with the sun rising at 08:04. Senior Druid, King Arthur Pendragon said the solstice celebrates the coming of the new sun. "This is the dawn we've been waiting for, this is the dawn the ancients cared about so much," he said.Ring out these bells. Ring out, ring solstice bells. Ring solstice bells.

Happy Winter Solstice Everyone! Thousands of people including Pagans, Druids and Witches, gathered at Stonehenge in England's county of Wiltshire, Tuesday, to attend the annual Winter Solstice ceremony, marking the shortest day and longest night of the year.
Hundreds of Druids attended the Winter Solstice ceremony, many of them in traditional costume, while performing ceremonies with music and dances around the prehistoric monument, with many participants touching the ancient stones for its 'healing energy.'

Stonehenge, Newgrange and many sites like it are on my "to do" list, hopefully before they have to be shuffled off to the "bucket list". Ancient cultures, the study of the regular patterns of the Earth and the skies, standardizing measurement, learning about the circumference of the Earth and travel times to other places, timing the agriculture and habits of animals relative to the timing of the seasons, it was all going on before they built the pyramids, and there's evidence that the people who built Newgrange and Stonehenge took their stone-builder and scientific knowledge to other parts of the world. Were they the last remnant of the pre-Ice Age cultures of success, the ones that survived the cataclysmic changes around 15,000-11,000 BC? Research/authors like Christopher Knight, Robert Bauval and many others, have found many of the links, the evidence, that shows lots of high cultural achievement back then, far above the low levels found around the Mediterranean in the centuries later. In fact, it seems much was lost, destroyed by opposing empires, misunderstood or converted into mystical teachings in order to be preserved. Later, with the re-emergence of the hermetic in the Renaissance, and with the radical growth of the free sciences later, we're back to discovering that the Stonehenge-builders and Newgrange builders were evidence of a very coherent, progressive science.

Been to both and both equally impressive although I only visited Newgrange recently. Stonehenge visited a few times and still impressed when you see it as you come over the hill. Newgrange is all a bit more relaxed to walk around and inside. You have to get a bus from the visitor centre through the woods and up to the hill where it stands so it's quite an exciting venture to get there and builds up the excitement. Newgrange is surrounded undiscovered mounds and as you look down to the beautiful valley and the river Boyne it's all too easy to imagine the importance of the place and how boat after boat would be coming to make a pilgrimage and to bring stones from quite a distance. i64.images obliterated by tinypic/11rpqbl.jpg[/IMG] As you say there's still much that has to be discovered about these places. archaeologynewsnetwork.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/search-begins-for-hidden-passages-at.html#.VnuafzYrHIU

Merry Christmas to all & to all a Tull night.
Everyone is from somewhere even if you've never been there. So take a minute to remember the part of you that might be the old man calling me.
How many wars you're fighting out there, this winter's morning? Maybe it's always time for another Christmas song.
