Stonehenge.

Some people used to say that the earlier Stonehenge- a timber circle surrounded by the ditch and without any sarcens, was dedicated to the moon.

The timber posts became the Aubrey holes.

They say that a change in the psyche meant a change towards a solar culture with warfare and warriors and massive stones -no doubt phallic- erections of stones.

That the Golden Bronze Age was a solar time, whilst the Neolithic people had valued the moon..

This interpretation imagines that the moon was always regarded as a  female deity, and a culture who were considered the moon as powerful, extended that power to women.

Unfortunately, there is no way to know what the people who gathered on Windmill Hill really believed.

But it isn't true to say that all cultures linked the moon to femaleness.

Jung in particular held that some, primal symbols were eternal as if hard-wired in our brains (like Chomsky's 'organ of language'). That some symbols are so universally understood that they can mean the same to all people of all times.

Think about it though, it seems a little bit ridiculous to believe that people wouldn't use both the sun and moon - like hands on a clock - two work much better than one.

It is the angles between the sun and moon that matter I think...
