I n ancient times, the relationship between a king, the ruler of the land, and his kingdom was frequently physically symbolized by a connection between a king and a stone. Among such stones symbolizing this relationship are the blue stones.
Special stones are found throughout Europe, many mark the central pont of many cities.
These stones have been long associated with kingship. The stones were often embedded in a mosaics or set into walls and roads. Shaped stones were the most primitive representations of the earth goddess, and therefore the land. The origin of the stone is still in debate. But, John Palmer, a British artist and blue stone ehthusiast, after many years of research belives he has discovered the role of the Dutch blue stone.
