I thought I would post a little more on this subject since yesterday's post just scraped the surface (well, metaphorically speaking!)
If you look at the folklore associated with many standing stones and stone circles, you find that quite a few are said to be the result of women being turned to stone for dancing on the Sabbath (usually because the Devil was playing the fiddle!)
This, when you think of it, is very interesting. For a start it links whatever went on at the stones with women rather than men. Also, the association with music could suggest that whatever went on at the stones in ancient times was accompanied by music (though maybe not a violin, that would be pushing things a bit.) But it could have been singing, chanting, even a harp. There are quite a few psychics who believe it's possible to 'sing' the stones back into consciousness.
But one of the things I think is probably most important when you encounter a stone is to actually communicate with it. Remember that the whole computer age was only made possible when someone worked out the possibilities of the silicon chip. And that early radio sets worked through the properties (scientific, not magical) of crystal.
So the idea of communicating with stone really isn't as mad as it might sound. Maybe they can download information if only we take the time and trouble to work with them. And since most things operate in dual directions, the work that we put into helping the stones learn about the modern world, may well be reciprocated.
In other words, the stones will be able to teach us things we maybe never even thought of asking.....
