It’s a monomyth about how we are all connected by a common human experience that sort of winds through each of our lives like a thread. The album weaves all these together to create a story, a monomyth as Joseph Campbell would call it. The source texts pull on everything from ancient myths, to prayers, to some original texts. It is all about life, death, and rebirth. “My first album, Calling All Dawns, contains twelve songs in twelve different languages.

In this system, the summer and winter solstice would be framed every year by the same pair of stones.” “Multiply that by 12 and you get 360, add on another 5 from the central trilithons you get 365.” To adjust the calendar to match a solar year, the addition of one extra leap day every four years is needed, and Darvill thinks that the four station stones may have been used to keep track of this. “Those 30 uprights around the main sarsen ring at Stonehenge would fit very nicely as days of the month,” he says. “Thirty, 5 and 4 are interesting numbers in a calendrical kind of sense,” says Darvill. The sarsens were arranged in three different formations at Stonehenge around 2500 BC: 30 formed the large stone circle that dominates the monument, four “station stones” were placed in a rectangular formation outside this circle, and the rest were constructed into five trilithons – consisting of two vertical stones with a third stone laid horizontally across the top like a lintel – located inside the stone circle. To find out what, he looked for clues in the numbers. To him, this indicated that they were intended for a common purpose.
““All except two of the sarsens at Stonehenge come from that single source, so the message to me was that they’ve got a unity to them,” says Darvill. The scientists assume the constellation of the stones indicate an ancient form of calendar.
