Can't cite examples right this sec, but seen to recall one down south getting a mention about a year ago, praps tjj/Moss? Pic of source justified in this perhaps rare instance? Am not against. Wouldn't clutter the place tooo much, methinks. Can't think of any, water is both practical and 'religious', think of the Celts and their gods. The Fen offerings in the water, the Welsh Llyn Cerrig Bach water offerings. And then their is the Kennet/Cunetio river that winds away from Silbury. The Swallowhead is sanctified now, and presumably its habit of coming and then disappearing is 'magical' so became a special place. Water disappearing, like for instance the swallets on the Mendips, is also magical. Reply | with quote |  6th February 2017ce 08:50 In reply to: Re: Well-being - River Sources (spencer) |
