Stonehenge solstice with Dolmen Grove 1

The Dolmen Grove group and friends, process into the world-renowned Stonehenge megaliths, after circling the mystic monument three times. A late celebration of the Summer Solstice. Parts 2 & 3 show the welcoming speech, poems and thoughts of the participants during this event, using the Talking stick, that's followed by the procession from the Stones to the public entry point.

One thing that I always like about these meetings is the great beat of those drums, and notice how the sound becomes so much clearer just after entry to the Stones, just sound reflection I guess but it maybe one thing to look at when Archaeologists continue to investigate the reasoning used by the builders of this great monument.

This particular video is a little messy toward the end, but in the others to follow, wind noise is more of a problem. I hope you like this, I loved coming to it!
The public are excluded from this event and from walking amongst the stones for most of the time. The reason given is for the preservation & protection of this monument. Tens of thousands of pairs of feet would certainly cause much damage.
They are restricted to walking on a path around the monument. You can see many tourists in this video and those to come. (And probably a few here are members of the public who have sneaked-in!)
*** There is considerable animosity between the Druid groups right now, with (what seems to me to be) petty disagreements. One can only hope that they settle these disagreements and all come together united in a common cause.

**Parts 2 and 3 are on this channel now; click "See all" videos.

THE FIRST DOLMEN WAS MADE WITH SOUND

Them are inspired from the N side of Mt. Montserrat.

See a huge part of the mountain that look like a bull.

The priest projected the idea to the NW,... ever it was possible, but: INCLUDING SOUND!!

Perhaps one of the participants of this ceremony can help?

[ajdpadbury]

That was interesting to watch, I wish I could have been there on that day!:)

[psuedosurfer]

Heart breaking it is to see what we have lost in place of what we have gained, we try to interperate what once may have taken place, Indeed i see those folks and it almost seems futile as they exclaim into the sea of time that separates us from our ancestors, a pitiful appeasement maybe, yet we try...

still, pleases me it does to see a connection with our forebear's made a ceremony...../(^\/^)\

We are all connected as One through time and space, why worry about Religions

This was all built with the assistance of an alien force!

@MrJpn1996 You dong. Now i am going to make you sit down n' shut up. ;)

Religion and faith is a myth that has been passed down from many generations to today. You state that your faiths are 'peaceful', but what is over 80% of all wars in the world consist of? Religion. Have we ever seen this so called 'God'? - no. Do we have proof of the big bang? - yes. Read and believe the facts. Sit down mate.

[MrJpn1996]

I admire these people's attempts to try and capture the traditions of the old beliefs. As christianity's iron fist slips from the world people are finding comfort in the cradle of the ancient religions. May the gods bless all rising pagans with a safe passage through life.

[MrJpn1996]

@lChilloutl No I am sorry but people who don't have faith of any kind are a joke. Just a bunch of angry nerds that need to get over the fact you were shoved in lockers and girls wouldn't go out with you in school.

@lChilloutl

I don't actually see any "Geriatrics" in this video!

I see you are obviously depressed

[samanthaetain]

@emoisgay789 yes they are, paganism has many branches which includes wicca. like druidism and shamanism,  are both forms of paganism, all earth based spiritual practice is paganism.

[emoisgay789]

@samanthaetain Wiccans are not pagans
