There is something about these traditions that still carries power to this day. I have been to Stonehenge, and you can FEEL the energy there! Happy Summer Solstice everyone!

You have to think of people living so long ago, out under the sky and stars and sun, how important these passages must have been.

Yeah, I was at Stonehenge a long time ago, when (I think) you could go touch the stones. Now (I think) you can't even get close.
