Stones of the Goddess at Avebury, by Angel Jewellery.
Winter has been little colder than the summer on our west coast, yet the day I left my home in Ireland to visit the ancient temples of the goddess at Avebury in SW England, winter swept down upon these isles with a frosty reverence.
Dawn on the 1st of February I watched as the great stones caught the light and became visible through the freezing fog. At once I knew these to be the form of the Great Goddess, larger than life, full bodied, womanly and sexual. Here, the curve of her neck, there a belly, a breast, a buttock, contours of the creatrix in defieance of the hardest rock in England.
I am not these stilted stones, come Love
Dance me, and arouse and renew genesis.
I am the opening, the holy hole.
Though I am not my body, my body is me.
I will make a pendant in her honour, golden flesh coloured,
red and green.
Remembering the connectedness of all things,
Linda.
