American Menhir

Sweetwood Temenos

 

Standing at Sweetwood Temenos in the heart of SW Witchconsin's Driftless Area, the Bull Stone must surely be among the best-chronicled standing stones of the Megalithic Revival.

Below, you can follow the real-time, five-year saga of the finding, moving, and raising of this American menhir.

I wish you joy of the journey.

Poet, scholar and storyteller Steven Posch was raised in the hardwood forests of western Pennsylvania by white-tailed deer. (That's the story, anyway.) He emigrated to Paganistan in 1979 and by sheer dint of personality has become one of Lake Country's foremost men-in-black. He is current keeper of the Minnesota Ooser.
