Pfaffenheim signifie étymologiquement le "domaine des prêtres". le "dolmen" situé au-dessus de la chapelle de pèlerinage de Schauenberg est désigné localement comme la "table ou autel des druides". Le plateau aurait il été un lieu sacré celte ? Y aurait il eu des druides ? ou bien cette dénomination date-t-elle du XIXe siècle quand la celtomanie était fort en vogue ? Difficile de trancher, mais ce qui est certain, c'est que dans ce lieu se déroulaient des cultes désignés comme païens par l'Eglise romaine.
Les flancs boisés de la montagne sont couverts de blocs de pierre, détachés de la falaise par l'érosion, et cette fameuse table est naturelle, formée par trois d'entre eux. Par contre, la petite dalle plate qui surmonte la table d'origine a bien été ajoutée par l'homme...
Les radiesthésistes et adeptes de l'énergie tellurique en ont fait un haut lieu vibratoire, très fréquenté durant les solstices et les équinoxes, où l'on vient s'y regénérer. La table des druides serait protégée par une triple enceinte énergétique, délimitée par des "portes" simplement reconnaissables à l'emplacement de rochers de grés
Il n'est donc pas étonnant que ce site sacré ait été récupéré par la tradition chrétienne, avec la création du Pèlerinage du Schauenberg

Finally the complete story that we have been following on this flickr.
"There are stories that should not be forgotten… Well, perhaps we should never forget. From memories, from the past and from our history we learn."
Oh and by the way all that trash talk of us and Wicker Man burning...was all just smack talk from that crazy Caesar. Really we were just simple mistletoe farmers.

Oh my life, is changing every day
In every possible way
And oh my dreams, it's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems
I know I've felt like this before, but now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
And then I open up and see, the person falling here is me
A different way to be
Ah, la da ah
La da ah
La, la
I want more, impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
And they'll come true, impossible not to do
Impossible not to do
And now I tell you openly, you have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find
A totally amazing mind, so understanding and so kind
You're everything to me
Oh my life, is changing every day
In every possible way
And oh my dreams, it's never quite as it seems
Cause you're a dream to me
Dream to me

The Druids Temple was built in the 1820s near Masham, North Yorkshire. The building of the miniature “Stone Henge” provided a shilling a day to many local people who were unemployed.

This was from a previous visit to Wistman's Wood, a fascinating oakwood on Dartmoor. It is one of the highest oakwoods in Britain and sort of looks like straight out of Lord of the Rings. Unfortunately for us, we just touched the extreme outskirts of the forest as it started to rain heavily upon our arrival and we quickly returned to the car park. Next time I hope we can properly explore this fantastic Dartmoor highlight.
Did a pic for my little druid, hope you like. Gonna play her in a RL DnD campaign.
Check out waterdeep, might stroll her through here.

………Looking west from Castlerigg Stone Circle - I wonder how different it was for them? We know so very little about their time & existence, but what is VERY clear WE will have left far more of a mark on planet Earth than ever they did!! Think again and think hard World leaders as you sit & pontificate the Earths future.
'No plastic'
'Lots and lots more trees'
'No combustion engines'
to name but three for those leaders back then.....................

Taken after waiting patiently for the sheep to cross the bridge (and I needed a rest stop!) It's definitely their right of way. The morning mists were lifting and a perfect opportunity to appreciate the green desolation and imaginings of past histories of the area.

I came across this ancient cork oak in the river valley near our quinta shortly after we moved to our new home...being a lover of celtic mythology, I was enchanted by this huge tree growing beside the path..sadly, the big forest fires of 2 years ago swept through this valley and I feared going back to see the damage to such a beautiful place...but it was there, a little blackened around the edges and sprouting new leaves. It is illegal to cut down cork oaks in Portugal unless they are dead...may this one live forever.
The mysterious Druid's Temple in a field close to Tore on the Black Isle. There are a few of these landmark features in the north of Scotland, like near the airport at Dalcross and close to Pitlochry. This is the ruins of a neolithic chambered cairn that pre-dates the druids by a couple of thousand years or more.

Thanks for your visit, faves, and kind comments!
Many of the rock names have been used for over a hundred years. Some fanciful names may have been invented by the Rocks House caretakers in their efforts to amuse visitors. Some appear to have been inspired by antiquarians who adhered to Druidical theories about their origins. Just a few names, such as the Noonstone whose shadow indicated midday, and old local names, Great Cannon and Little Cannon (now the Smartie Tube), may come from an earlier tradition. In his 1786 lecture, Some account of the Brimham rocks in Yorkshire, Hayman Rooke mentions the Idol Rock, the Great Cannon, and the Noonstone next to which a fire was lit on Midsummer Eve. Brimham, Nidderdale, Yorkshire Dales, United Kingdom.

Never did manage to get a good photo of the place, surrounded by trees it's hard to get low light shining on the stones..

▶ "Euonymus alatus — commonly known as winged spindle, winged euonymus, or burning bush— is a species of deciduous flowering shrub in the bittersweet family (Celastraceae), native to central and northern China, Japan, and Korea. It is a popular ornamental plant in gardens and parks due to its bright pink or orange fruit and attractive bright red fall foliage. The flowers are greenish, borne over a long period in the spring.
Euonymus alatus is not native to North America, introduced to the United States in the 1860s. Its range now extends from New England south to northern Florida and the Gulf Coast, where, in the wild, it is considered invasive."

- The four leaf clover is the most well known lucky symbol around the world and across many very different cultures, with its origin ages old.
- According to legend, Eve carried a four leaf clover from the Garden of Eden.
- Druids held the 4 leaf clover in high esteem and considered them a sign of luck.
- If consumed, a genie appears. This genie grants you three wishes. These three wishes must be used in one year.
- In addition, each leaf is believed to represent something: the first is for faith, the second is for hope, the third is for love, and the fourth is for luck.
- Marsilea quadrifolia, Four Leaf Clover or European Water Clover has its natural habitat in Europe and Southern Asia. It is found growing both submersed and emersed along marshlands, riverbanks (such as the Loire, Po and parts of the Danube) and streams. Considered an invasive exotic in North America.
This aquatic fern bears a 4 parted leaf resembling '4-leaf clover' (Trifolium). Leaves floating in deep water or erect in shallow water or on land.

Apologies for the re-upload if you've seen it and especially if you commented. But looks like Flickr messed something up. Re-uploading as this is my favourite of the two I've uploaded today.
One of the most striking characteristics of Druidism is the degree to which it is free of dogma and any fixed set of beliefs or practices. In this way it manages to offer a spiritual path, and a way of being in the world that avoids many of the problems of intolerance and sectarianism that the established religions have encountered.
