This is cool. My significant other and I want to make one too! There is a lot of open space where we live, all throughout the region (and oak groves
everywhere too, a favored ritual site for Druids). We could get creative with how we mark out the spots (witches are good at hiding things in plain sight, or at least they
should be ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
).
Once it's set up, I would like to do little rituals throughout the year at the spots where our personal life events take place, like birthdays, anniversaries of personal things like accomplishments, or the significant births and deaths around us, etc., take pictures of what the environment looks like during those moments. This should be a very moving and rich long term spiritual project. Maybe it will become a permanent part of our lives.
I also think a project like this helps us share something that was important to our ancestors (all around the world, not just Druids), so I feel this deep sense of "human continuity" in relation to it, as well. Our ancestors worldwide lived agricultural-based lives, heavily relied on the sun's movements for their very survival, though we now enjoy the luxury of (somewhat) taking that for granted.
I've always wanted to more closely study the movements of the sun, and this is a perfect hands-on format to do so (I'm more of a
kinesthetic learner). Thank you for sharing this wonderful project with us, Pallando. Look forward to hearing about your experiences with it, as well.
I agree, 'bird, we need to get out to Chaco. We're out here in the West, it's just a car drive away, we have no excuse.
