| Hi Nidge I believe that many African/Caribbean people are of west African origin, where there is a long and proud tradition of stone circle building. http://www.gambia.dk/stones.html It strikes me as likely that some of those deep-seated traditions would have been carried over with the people who were stolen from their homeland and shipped to the Caribbean. It may be that although they couldn't build circles (though they might have), they may have applied the 'spirit of place' ideas to landscape features like springs, rocky outcrops, etc. These things appear to universal, irrespective of geography. I'd be very interested to hear what Uncle Doc has to say. I'd love to go to Jamaica. J x Reply | with quote |  2nd October 2006ce 16:19 In reply to: Re: Another tradition under threat (nidge) |
