Exactly. It's a sacred thing.

Om Shanti


With the possible exception of extreme weather conditions and one one hill top ,the Inn Pinn , can we really have any confidence in the belief that prehistoric peoples in Britain would have been terrified of , or on hill tops ,groves and sources of water ? I hae my doots .


Yes, I agree it was a curious turn of phrase - have just answered your previous post, I think we 'crossed'. I do take a lot with a pinch of salt you know - especially when someone has a book to sell (this one was published in 2005). I will read the book though, as I've parted with my dosh but will keep an open mind and it may not get read from cover to cover.
