Hole Stones |
 |
Welcome to shee-eire.com
section on Hole Stones.
A Hole Stone refers to a megalith, sometimes standing alone,
sometimes associated with a more complex structure, which is distinguished by having a
Hole through it.
Such stones are often associated with healing and fertility.
Where size
permitted, babies and small children were often passed through the holes in an attempt to
cure their diseases right up to modern times.
Smaller holes may have alignments to the
Sun, Moon or certain Stars.
Anthony Weir has some interesting theories
about hole stones on his website: http://www.beyond-the-pale.co.uk/phallic.htm (outside link)
