Spirals On Circles

Internationally recognised expert on stone circles, Kevin Rowan-Drewitt gives a fascinating presentation to New Horizons Saint Annes on the 30th September 2013.

Within a few miles of each other, in the picturesque Eden Valley in East Cumbria, stand the only stone circles in England that have spirals carved into them: the magnificent Neolithic "Long Meg and Her Daughters", the third largest stone circle in Britain; her little sister, the Bronze Age "Little Meg"; and the anomaly that is "Glassonby Stone Circle", which really wasn't a stone circle at all when it was built.

Although spirals are found at other ancient sites in Scotland, Wales, Ireland and beyond, only these three sites have them in England. Kevin, who has personally visited all three sites on numerous occasions, will explain the history and alignments of the sites-- who built them, what they might have been used for, and put forward his theories as to what the spirals mean. Come and join him for a walk in your ancestors footsteps.

Kevin Rowan-Drewitt has had an interest in stone circles since seeing Stonehenge as a boy fifty years ago. Over the past twenty years, he has travelled throughout the British Isles and beyond, visiting ancient sites and studying their alignments to the Sun and Moon and their locations on ley lines.

Kevin is an adult education teacher of Earth Mysteries; an astrologer, being secretary of the Blackpool-based Northern Lights Astrological Society; a Runemaster; a High Priest of Wicca; Reiki Master and author of "The Rowan Guide to Castlerigg Stone Circle". This talk is a precursor to his follow-up book which is also entitled "Spirals On Circles".
