Hello and welcome to Psychic Teachers. I'm your host Samantha Fei.

I'm Gabboan.

And today we're going to be talking about some mysterious sacred stones.

So hopefully this will be a great episode for all you crystal lovers.

The idea of sacred stones and crystals isn't new. We all know the lore of stones at sites such as

Stonehenge and Easter Island. And today's show we're going to discuss legends and lore around some

other sacred stones and crystals you might not have heard about. For example, did you know that

Scotland has its own stonehenge? In fact, they have two. Colonyce and Stennis. Both are older than

Stonehenge dating back at least 5,000 years. Most believe for years that these circular stone

formations were a way to honor the dead and mark time. In 2016, researchers at the University of

Adelaide were able to prove that these stone sites did indeed mark time by demonstrating that the

stones are aligned perfectly with the positions of the moon and the sun. University of Adelaide's

Gail Higginbaden explains there was still a sympathetic magic. They believed that if they set

up these monuments, they were connecting death and nature. Now that's something I didn't know.

Were you aware of two sites that were older than Stonehenge? No, in Scotland, I was not. I mean,

I know that there are sites and other areas of your France or so. Oh sure. But I didn't know about

that. I did not. Yeah, me neither. Now we need to add that to our travel list. Now, let's stay in

Scotland to discuss the stone of Skun or the stone of Destiny, which has been fought over since the

13th century, or maybe even earlier. For the origin story of this sacred stone, we have to travel

all the way back to Jacob from the Bible. In the book of Genesis, he has a dream where he's in the

house of God. While he has this transcending dream, he's resting his head on a stone. The

Prophet Jeremiah then takes the stone to Ireland where it was used at Tara to crown kings of Ireland.
