The second 'sacred site' we visited, on our recent trip south, was the stunning 'Touchstone Maze' above Strathpeffer. Set in a clearing amongst beautiful woodland, this stone labyrinth is a relatively recent construction. Built in 1994, it was designed by artist Helen Rowan, and draws together rocks from across the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The stones are arranged in order by age and kind to form a labyrinth celebrating the natural forces of the Earth and the ancient seasonal festivals celebrating them. The stone rows making up the maze are placed in line with the rising and setting of the sun at key times of the Celtic year - Midsummer and Midwinter, Autumn and Spring Equinoxes, Lammas and Beltane, Halloween and St Brides day.
Although it is a comparatively new site, its combination of layout and the drawing together of so many different stones from across Scotland gives it a powerful energy. To further enhance this, a beautiful tanzine aura, was planted in its vicinity as part of our aura planting work in connection with the Creative Arts. Work was also done using merlinite and preseli bluestone as part of our global crystal placements to enhance the energy of sacred stones and sites, in connection to current times.
