Long Meg and her Daughters

Long Meg And Her Daughters Stone Circle Nr Penrith, Cumbria, Uk is reputed to be the last remaining working Druid's circle in the UK. It is a gentle and subtle-powered stone circle unlike Swinside & Castlerigg stone circles elsewhere in Cumbria; which are both a more brutal and 'darker' energy associated with them. To be in the centre of the circle round of Log Meg & Her Daughters is to be at peace; it is to be within a sacred space which transcends the human awareness.




I last visited Long Meg & Her Daughters before I was familiar and comfortable with the concepts of portals and doorways between dimensions. Looking back now to the times I would visit this hallowed place; I realise now that upon entering the circle, a portal must be wandered through because the world within the circle is completely different to the world outside of the circle.

Long Meg, herself (illustrated left) is a single tall obelisk-like sarcen composed of a stone different to the other smaller stones comprising the circle.
