RE: Sacred places
Hee hee... it's a small world. Sarajo! Yeah, it's really windy but what a view!
So I do know lots of places I can go to (in my head)
Actually, you reminded me of something I did a while back... I stood in one of my connecting places and mentally connected to those other places I mentioned... I felt the spirit of them all, which convinced me that it didn't matter where I was on this Earth, I could link to anywhere I pleased.

RE: Sacred places
Thanks for the photo, Dr MamBo - there's modern tech for you: mention a subject, and next thing, a pal send all a photo of it. 😉
It looks to me that there are two strands to this thread. Basically, the UK/Irish sites, and those further afield.
The UK and Irish sites are obviously pertinent since they are on our doorstep (for most on HP), and people come from all the world over to see our sacred places. But personally, thinking about it, for me, I like the exotic, and especially places that are free of tourists, but also on another shore. So I tend to feel it a bit common (somewhat like being a 'snob' in spiritual site terms :D) when the site is in these Isles... I prefer sites where it's a struggle to reach them, you might be risking illness or vagabonds to get there, and it's a whole new world when you do get there.
I was thinking, to close, on making a joke about some obvious UK site as being just like that! Yet it reminded me of one (which involves no illness or bandits!).... Gorhambury, the home of Sir Francis Bacon, just outside St. Albans - that's sacred land to me, as it's where a Golden Age of thought began, Bacon and many meeting there over decades to plan how to raise society out of medieval thought into modern ways of thinking. I reckon in centuries to come it will be noted as one of the most important sites in the world, since it is where modern civilisation began, thanks to Bacon, the so-called "Shakespeare" literature the team wrote there, the beginning of modern science, literature, etc, etc.
Gorhambury can still be visited and it's quite an experience but only if you read up on it and know what it represents first.

Hiya Darren I go in through the main gate the one off the A30. Sadly Hubby has Arthritits in his knees so I don't get to go to far round the grounds

Hello Venetian
I went on a nice little journey just after reading your earlier post on South Cadbury Hill, which is just up the road ... without leaving my chair. Can't post pix, but here are some:

Which reminded me somewhat of Burrough Hill Iron Age Hill Fort near Melton Mowbray, which I often used to visit when I lived near there. Anyone else know it? First site looked at:

And oh, ha ha, LOL, once sat in just that spot and did a pen and ink sketch of this view, which I later had scanned into a flier for Reiki.
Agree with your comment about being alone in places ... churches are good for this. Not for religious reasons, I'm afraid, more to do with the convergence of leylines so often found there - PRE-Christian.
