Who built it? Who uses it for rituals? :Sighs WHy don't you consider using that wonderful magical tool commonly called a map? There are at least two places being described, one I've seen, the other I just heard described. One, which is a stonehenge aproximation, is in central texas, near Hunt, Kerrville, Fredricksburg, Enchanted Rock and generally the western edge of the Hill country. IT apparently looks about like stonehenge, dunno never been there. There is annother ring of stones in east texas near hunstsville, Lake Livinston, about halfway between houston and nacogdochases. it has some superficial resemblances to stone henge (there are some stones that are set on two vertical stones) except the stones ar knee-high to a 12 yearold. I imagine the owner of the land built the ring of stones, dunno if anyone uses them for rituals, I think they are asatru. >catherine yronwode ---------------------- mailto:yronwode@sonic.net -Michael
