We are the Black Ravens
And with the Circle of our Stangs
meet with Force..
An old way for Connection
With the Highest Source
We Dance our Wishes in a Spell
And call Earth to bond them Well
Bright as Fire shall our Sigil Glow
Deep as tight of Water Flow
Then we Trust that they will Grant our boon
Under the big old Shiny Moon ❦
Merry Maidens stone circle:
The name is part of the charm of this circle. It is quite likely that its origins lie in the Cornish 'Dans Meyn', meaning dancing stone, which was the title given to all recorded Cornish stone circles pre 1900, and has thus led to many being associated with dancing rituals. However, it is also likely that 'Dans Meyn' is a corruption of 'Zans Meyn', meaning simply sacred stone. In any case, come Victorian times the story evolved that the Merry Maidens were local girls who broke the rules on the Sabbath and were turned to stone for dancing, the equally sinful musicians, now the large pillars known as the Pipers, being petrified in nearby fields. Such moralistic folk stories are commonly attached to stone circles (the Nine Maidens, the Dancing Stones at Tregeseal…) and it is thought that they may represent Christian methods of trying to eliminate Pagan activity at these ancient ceremony sites.
