9hours to go. Not seen reported anywhere but this year is very special the Major Lunar Standstill means the Moon rose and set in September at exactly right-angles to tomorrow's Sunrise. According to A Newham, Stonehenge is the only place on the planet where this happens (the other is in the Pacific ocean). Even 50km away it does not work. Good work ancient Britons. It is time we reconnected with this amazing island.
Again not seen mentioned anywhere but I wonder if sunset was just as important as this would connect us with the ancestors (in the underworld) and a temporal unity.
Yes people were afraid the sun would disappear for good (as it does in the Arctic Circle and their end of the world has the gods and everything destroyed) but also the darkness is a link to the Past and thus the *meaning* of the Present?? Derrida would like that. (Not to be confused with the Present Moment which transcends this.)
