Stonehenge and the Druids: Stonehenge and Bluestonehenge

( http://heritage-key.com/blogs/sean-williams/stonehenge-and-druids-stonehenge-... ) Frank Somers, a Stonehenge Druid, gives a tour of the Salisbury Plain, talking about Stonehenge and the surrounding areas, and their significance. Frank also talks about the recent discovery of Bluestonehenge, its particular importance to druids and how it lay untouched for over 5,000 years. The druids, who focus on being at one with nature and the ancestors, see Stonehenge as a place of great importance to their beliefs, as it is there that they feel the ancestors are speaking to them.

@markandrach And what makes you say that exactly? A lot of history concerning this sort of thing is purely speculation as a lot of it has been lost... but there are still some writings and word-of-mouth stories passed down through the ages, as well as a little common sense, that this was connected to Druids and/or a Pagan belief system. Most things from that age could be connected to it, seeing as our ancestors from back then were almost all Pagans, of some derivative or another.

stonehenge has no connection to druids

its just new age bullshit that connects it

@loolfactorie You're very mixed up there. The romans pulled out to protect their main interest - Rome! Before they left, they hired saxon mercenaries to fight for them against the picts.

@sonofherne

Roman eventually left because of germanics, picts and other celts destroying their strongeholds in western europe, also the celts did pull together to fight the saxons and were successful in putting them off for decades after a huge victory to the celts which you can find out for yourself.
