Gatherr RSS

Pronounced "Gatherer", but, hey, it's web 2.0 and we leave the last
"e" out right? Gatherr collects the best of this and that from here and
there on the web for no other reason than sharing. It's about stuff
that seemed interesting at the time. Enjoy.




ABOUT

My
name is Tony Johansen. I am an artist. I like art and science and
poetry and books and history and technology and lots more besides.
Every day I am excited by the marvelous things I see in this wonderful
world and beyond. I love the Internet for giving me access to so much.
I am like a sponge for wondrous things or things that make me wonder. This site is really just a
scrapbook. Being on the web, however, means being able to share the
treasures I find. That's me, Tony Johansen, artist who likes to share
my excitement of being alive.

    This large stone is at the entrance to Newgrange. There is some indication that the stone may have been used to block the entranceway originally and being removed for ceremonies requiring access to the passages and chambers inside the cairn. May of the decorated stones at the mounds were set into the walls yet have carvings where no human could ever see them. No one knows why but there is inevitable speculation about them being visible to a spiritual underworld. Although this seems quite possible, it is impossible to decypher any meanings or beliefs from the small evidence available.
