Walking to Avebury Stone Circle

  • Glen Paul Mendes

3 walks along the Ridgeway 2019,2020 & 2021. I self organise a select few walks three in total where I take Photographs I Draw I Paint its an experimental exploration, that being immersed in nature I can relax as a creative channel energy I hope in symbols feelings or as an expression made as markings flow symbols on paper, which is placed on the ground, using flint to weigh the paper down and by this I can ground and embed my practice in the landscape. The Avebury Temple dedicated to God and built by pagans those who were inspired by the Goddess as landscape. This place is full of unanswered questions can the great stones speak are they symbols, was it a temple or church in Neolithic times maybe they had great need to worship the elements and the universe praising the elder Gods asking for abundance health wealth protection, red ochre cave paintings hunting performing decoy rituals and ceremonies all seem to have been recorded according to the Avebury Museum. Built by High Shaman priest Druids and the Essene's. Visited by Joseph Arimathea on a solitary mission for god.
