Serpent Stone

A likeness carved in stone has many powers.

Standing stones, or 'menhir', have existed for time immemorial. Little is known about their origins or why they were constructed, but based on Celtic and tribal customs we can conclude that they may have played a part in rituals, burials and sacrifices - perhaps used to mark territory or as a memorial to an important individual. Although many were destroyed by fanatical early Christians, the sheer quantities of standing stones around the world ensured their survival to the present day. Many Britannic examples were constructed of sandstone and inscribed with images of tools and animals, of which the serpent was commonly, and prominently, featured. One of the famous sculptured stones found at Ablerlemno in eastern Scotland features a serpent on one side, with the Z-rod and double disc - another mysterious Pictish symbol - on the other.
