Dotted around the landscape of Ireland, Great Britain and Europe, these surviving remnants of our past have been the subject of folklore and reverence for generations. We get into their astronomical alignment as well as some of the magical experiences Heather has had while visiting them. We also discuss Ley Lines and their controversial reputation among the archeological and scientific community.</p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://linktr.ee/heather.wildflower?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&amp;ltsid=358d3a56-d7c6-4731-ab40-d615fbd7592b\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Find links to Heather's socials and other work here.</a></p><p><br></p><p>S O U R C E S</p><ul><li>STONE CIRCLES <a href=\"https://www.jstor.org/action/doBasicSearch?Query=au%3A%22Muiris%20O%27Sullivan%22\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Muiris O'Sullivan</u></a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.jstor.org/action/doBasicSearch?Query=au%3A%22Liam%20Downey%22\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Liam Downey</u></a> <a href=\"https://www.jstor.org/journal/archirel\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Archaeology Ireland</u></a>, Vol. 25, No. 1 (Spring 2011), pp. 17-20 (4 pages)</li><li><a href=\"https://theeverlivingones.blogspot.com/2015/11/shining-stones.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>https://theeverlivingones.blogspot.com/2015/11/shining-stones.html</u></a></li><li>Clocha Geala/Clocha Uaisle: White Quartz in Irish Tradition <a href=\"https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Tok-Thompson?_tp=eyJjb250ZXh0Ijp7ImZpcnN0UGFnZSI6InB1YmxpY2F0aW9uIiwicGFnZSI6InB1YmxpY2F0aW9uIn19\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Tok Thompson</u></a> January 2005 <a href=\"https://www.researchgate.net/journal/Bealoideas-0332-270X?_tp=eyJjb250ZXh0Ijp7ImZpcnN0UGFnZSI6InB1YmxpY2F0aW9uIiwicGFnZSI6InB1YmxpY2F0aW9uIn19\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Béaloideas</u></a> 7&nbsp;</li><li><a href=\"https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/scottishhistory/ancient/features_ancient_stonecircles.shtml\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/scottishhistory/ancient/features_ancient_stonecircles.shtml</u></a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20220914-carnac-alignments-brittanys-mysterious-standing-stones\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20220914-carnac-alignments-brittanys-mysterious-standing-stones</u></a></li><li><a href=\"https://reppinnature.com/blog/f/carnac-the-world%E2%80%99s-largest-collection-of-megaliths-why\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>https://reppinnature.com/blog/f/carnac-the-world%E2%80%99s-largest-collection-of-megaliths-why</u></a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/185805/folklore/clava-cairns\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/185805/folklore/clava-cairns</a></li><li><a href=\"https://aliisaac.substack.com/p/controversy-at-newgrange\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://aliisaac.substack.com/p/controversy-at-newgrange</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.knowth.com/tara-earth-energies.htm\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>https://www.knowth.com/tara-earth-energies.htm</u></a></li><li>https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/research/spotlight-research/cult-dead-medieval-ireland</li></ul><p>C O N T A C T</p><p><a href=\"mailto:rowanandpinepod@gmail.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>rowanandpinepod@gmail.com</u></a></p><p><a href=\"https://linktr.ee/rowanandpine\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><u>https://linktr.ee/rowanandpine</u></a></p><p>Part of <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/podmoth\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@Podmoth Media Network</a></p><p>Additional sounds from Pixabay</p><p>Featured Podmoth pod: <a href=\"https://linktr.ee/TheLostSignal?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&amp;ltsid=ce7c9d28-eff8-4dd7-ad27-bd86e62e8ae2\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Lost Signal</a></p>","author_name":"Emily & Niamh"}
