[magicbuskey]

I'm sorry, sir, but you're infested and we're going to have to spray you for hippies.

LOL j/k. Thanks for sharing. I love your videos.

[frootbat31]

Lovely video! Its been a while since I've been there. My group camps near the Fox Altar near the stream. Maybe we'll see you around sometime.

[tumbledon]

Thank you

[jugglerjohn]

Awesome Flick, Thanks for sharing! I'm sad ,I didn't make it to 4QF at all in 2008...well there's always '09

[4quartersinterfaith]

Thank you Eric! Excellent contribution of video of 4Q, and great artistry in your photography.

[JKitten08]

Thank you for posting this, Eric.

I have missed the Farm so much this year!

Thank you again.

PS> The song at the end is my favorite song...

[RLTromble]

Amazing, thanks for sharing Eric. I have only read about this stuff, it is kinda cool to see it actually happen.

[lisacole690]

amazing is the only word i can think of for this eric ... wow ... i have a stone circle planned for back in my woods, but it's tiny by comparison ... (my what big stones you have lol) ... xoxo

[melanianspots]

That must have been a truly wonderful experience to be a part of. The coordination of raising that stone is...'amazing', thanks for sharing!

[PuppyZwolle]

Who does the 'design' of the circle? The stone picking and placement? That person is a wiz.

You really should visit Carnac. That is the greatest energy colecter I have ever experienced. Even though it has been 'broken' for thousands of years it still has mindblowing fibes.

Pagan's have more fun...don't they?

[Aceswolf]

Awesome Rock man :) LMAO at you in the tang top :)

[PaganArtGuy]

OMG...right...one of the girls had it...Pink pigs with wings..and she was going to show it off if we couldnt get the stone up...you know! if pigs could fly...I had to have it, so she pulled it off and gave it to me during the pull..

[Aceswolf]

Thats awesome :) LOL If pigs could fly I don't think pork would be so easy to catch :) LOL Now thinking about it wasn't there a skit Kid in the Hall used to do with a flying puig LOL OK enough rambling

Peace

[daligoddess2006]

I love you! I love this vacation! I wish I was there. The blessing of the children was awesome. You've got your own Stone Henge there! Coolsome! I've been missin' you Sista! SSISS Oh, what is that at arpund 7"51? Looks like small fires on the stone?

[daligoddess2006]

You know what I meant 7:51. Some of my favorite camping trips involved rain...the entire trip! Oh, you took a picture of a tulip leaf!!!

[sweetisobella]

WoW, so glad you enjoyed your vacation Eric. I did a search on Paganism recently, it makes very good reading :o) There are many internet documents sharing info. I hope I get round to reading more of it to get a better understanding, it's always good to learn about something different.

xx jo xx

[1DRock37167]

Very cool vacation!

[Bluwhodesign]

Could you explain the purpose of it and it's meanings, please. I don't get the lack of using modern machines for this event when you have cars all over. The SCA recreates history

for history's sake, the Rainbow gathering people disconnect themselfs by walking for miles away from the modern world, the Amish believe god doesn't aprove,

but your pagan right, I don't think the goddess stops technology, does she?

Juno

[PaganArtGuy]

There are so many purposes and goals intended that it would be difficult to explain without experiencing it. We learn to find center balance, work out math, create forms, and we do not exclude machinery entirely...only for the pull and rising...we still require something to dig the trench, and holes for the cement forms..and we have cement delivered to create the forms where the base will sit...I think you misundertand somewhere that technology isn't welcome..and that's not the intent or case.

[Bluwhodesign]

Yes I did of course see some forms of simple machines, you left out the logs to roll the stones lol, but are you using mostly brut force or man power for the sake of some sort of understanding of sacrifice or some thing else comradeship maybe?

[PaganArtGuy]

The larger intent is to create sacred space, build a community of people who can accomplish a goal with one single mind..regardless of gender, color, creed, sexual orientation..etc...There are so many purposes, and to create sacred space and connect with the earth and its energies..

[Bluwhodesign]

Well I should hope that most of those values are the same in any spiritual community. But what was the event with the children passing thru the stone, what's it's symbolism is this a common ritual where or when does it date from, what do you feel it's meaning is? Are there other such rituals, encore please

[PaganArtGuy]

There's a whole world out there...shining shimmering splendid...oops..thats from aladin...but it still serves a good purpose..lol

[ifusayso11]

It looks like a lot of fun! Does anyone ever get hurt when you guys are pulling the stones? (I hope not)

[PaganArtGuy]

Some people have been hurt to the point of having to sit out for a few hours or the rest of the event..but never to the point of needing a hospital..*knock's on wood!**...How have you been hottie? Love the ceiling..

[mkuebler5]

This is wonderful pagan! Reminds me so much of radical faeries here near where I live.I would love to have been there with you,the energy must have been awesome?.Thank you for sharing this.

peace and love michael

[PaganArtGuy]

Once the land is blessed and opened, everything is electrified with great energy...its amazing..

[carlitaelhada]

It is so great to know there are people celebrating the "old ways" That is a beautiful spot... I have teary eyes all along you video. Thanks for sharing!

Peace

[PaganArtGuy]

You would be amazed how many "old ways" are still being honored and carried out by tribes....

[UminaTaylor]

this is wonderful to watch. You would love Scotland, you can't move without stone nudging you into the history of land and people. Thanks for sharing Eric, it was lovely.

Nik

[PaganArtGuy]

Thank you very much Nik...I imagine I would love scotland, and its on the lists of sacred places to visit...

[PaganArtGuy]

Thank you....The land would be honored to know someone found it beautiful. It's amazing how a place and some stones can vibrate through your very essence...

[NolaGB]

What a beautiful place and what a tremendous stone! Thank you for sharing this, Eric.

[PaganArtGuy]

Thank you for watching and enjoying a place that is so magickal and meaningful to me..

[CapricornArtist73]

Amazzzzing ;)

[PaganArtGuy]

Your Amazzzzing...basically..

[CapricornArtist73]

well for your info i didn't say basically once in my last video and i didn't even know it! So i am cured basically! ;)

[silverscreamgrl]

It looked like a truly awesome event. At times I almost felt like I was a peeping Tom, looking into a world that I'd never seen before. You're right, the photos were amazing. My favorites were the shocking yellow leaf and flower in the barren brown surroundings. Incredible.

[PaganArtGuy]

I am glad you liked it, and I love walking the land and finding the hidden beauty that is in just a leaf or floating flower...I will make sure to share out the link to the 500 pics I took...

[silverscreamgrl]

That would be great! I need to start using Flicker more. I normally upload to Snapfish and send links to family and that's about it.

[Perplexedpixie]

Wow Im so Amazed! You will never understand. well you might... My sisters will!

"Over the Rainbow" its a sign Eric, Thank you Someday I hope to have the words to explain what I just felt./... Pamela Rae Love!

[PaganArtGuy]

I am glad that some part of a magickal world could move you..and that you felt connected. I am so in love with this place, and love is coming right back at ya!

[urbandelirium]

I've been wanting to visit Four Quarters for a while now... it's not too bad of a drive from where I am now. Thanks for the video, all of the previous videos, and for sharing your art.
