Thornton Stonecircles are built to encode, encrypt, and memorialize events, information, data, ideas, dreams, and feelings related to the following parameters:
NUMERIC: Seven is the primary number, but four is also sacred.
CELESTIAL: Positions, seasons, and events; stellar, solar, lunar, meteoric, and also comets.
MAGNETIC: North and South is the way the needle points.
TOPOGRAPHIC: The Lay O' The Land, which also shows the way the water flows and where the wind blows.
GEOGRAPHIC: Where things are, by humans' maps; roads, towns, and surveys and such.
BIO-ECOLOGICAL: Trees, gardens, fields, squirrels' nests, bird feeders, septic tanks, aquaria, ponds, and all living things.
SOCIO-EMOTIONAL: Historic on the macro, vibrational on the micro.
All Stonecircle Arrows lead out from and then return to THE ALTERSTONE
