The Star of the Magi
Astrology, Cosmology & Ancient Religion
They "are not convinced, as others have been, that Stonehenge was a holy place or a secular tool for calculating dates. Instead, they think Stonehenge was a site of healing. "The whole purpose of Stonehenge is that it was a prehistoric Lourdes," says Wainwright. "People came here to be made well." This is revolutionary stuff, and it comes from a reinterpretation of the stones of the henge and the bones buried nearby. Darvill and Wainwright believe the smaller bluestones in the centre of the circle, rather than the huge sarsen stones on the perimeter, hold the key to the purpose of Stonehenge."
If Stonehenge was a site for healing, and healers, as they claim, this only adds to the intrigue of the site's astronomical alignments. Apart from their obvious calendrical value, could these measures of the motions of the Sun and Moon also been used in the healing arts? There is certainly abundant evidence for their use in astrological medicine from every other age. Will Stonehenge one day emerge as the earliest known evidence for healing by the stars?
