Pagan Couple Move Prehistoric Stone Circle Into Suburban Home
Author: The Telegraph Source: The Telegraph (UK)
Title: PAGAN COUPLE MOVE PREHISTORIC STONE CIRCLE INTO SUBURBAN HOME
A pagan couple who moved into a suburban estate in Dorset brought with them their own prehistoric stone circle.
John and Suky Burton imported the 13 prehistoric stones from their former Weymouth mansion when they downsized to a detached house in Dorchester last weekend.
The stone circle megalith was originally erected in the grounds of Abbotts Court by Burberry fashion house founder Thomas Burberry in the early 1900s.
The Burtons bought the mansion in the 1980s and could not live without the monoliths when they downsized to Dorchester.

While removing the stones would not ordinarily have been recommended, they were going to be removed anyway, and treated as nothing by the new owners of the place. I think given the alternative, that the Ancestors would have rejoiced that someone gave good care to those monuments they once constructed. At least it beats the historical abuse early christians gave many of these monuments by pushing them down and trying to hack them into rubble.
May they be blessed for saving history from those who had no concern at all for it.

From what a museum does when they reconstruct a "tomb" or "ancient village" within their grounds or buildings? The obvious is that the museum needs to do it within the constraints of space and being unaware of things like ley lines.
The couple should be commended for saving a piece of history. Obviously they took the time to align the stones properly.

sometimes when we do not read entire articles it is easy to jump to conclusions... these stones were placed in the garden of this couples' mansion in the early 1900s by a previous owner after being removed from their original site. when this couple chose to move to a smaller home they wanted to leave the stones behind as a sacred site but were told by the new owners that the stones would be removed and dumped if the couple did not take them with them. this couple apparently went to great trouble to ensure that these stones were protected, and should be commended for their efforts.

a couple of modern Pagans took ancient monoliths from where the builders intended them to be (for who knows what reason) to another site when they moved because "they couldn't live without them"?
That's what replicas are for! Build your own stone circle out of concrete or something. They removed the stones from the sacred site for which they were intended. No amount of white-light fluff ritual is going to rededicate them to their new home, they BELONG where they were.
If they couldn't live without them, they shouldn't have moved. Or they needed to come to the reality of living without them.
I feel sorrow for the land now, for the ancestors who built them, for all the energy built on the original site now desecrated and ruined by people who you would think would have more reverence for what Pagans of the past left. It's always those Pagans with no sense that get into the media by doing stupid crap like this.
