I operate from a basic principle of: every tradition/religion/philosophy, at its roots, sprouts from and has elements of The Core Truth (and from it, Core Truths (or Divine Principles), like a pie made of say 12 wedges),
AND, that no tradition/religion/philosophy has ALL the Core Truths. The more common an element is around the world, the more likely it IS a Divine Principle (consider: karma, "As You Sow...", balance, boomerang, mirror, scales - all vibrational equivalents), and will be understood as Wisdom.
If a "principle" occurs only in one or a few places, it is almost always Dogma, and made up by someone in power to exert control.
Following that, I was fascinated that this circle contains 64 stones and immediately wondered if the circle of 64 hexagrams in the I Ching could be superimposed, rotating until there was some alignment between the energies (personalities) of the individual stones and the energies in the 1-64 hexagrams.
In the past, I hesitated to ask such questions, but 2/3 of a century of study has shown me, when it comes to what the Ancients knew, it is all interconnected. Did you happen to capture "feelings" along with visual interpretations of the stones? Where there any astronomical alignments you could discern?
