Martyn and amusing astrology

Do not be afraid of beasts, but friends – as the beast will wound your body, but a friend will wound your soul.

В В В В Buddha

When I was in the U.K. at Martуn’s home for a holiday, Martyn took me sightseeing, as a good host should. We went to Stonehenge in Martyn’s car.

There, aВ guide toldВ us the history ofВ Stonehenge. He said that the Druids built it inВ such aВ way that they could, byВ counting, define on which days the summer and winter solstices were toВ occur. It helped them inВ farming. We liked the atmosphere and the environment there, so we decided toВ go there once again at night. We stayed inВ aВ nearby hotel especially for that purpose. At midnight, we arrived at Stonehenge and began toВ imagine how the ancient Druids would have prayed there. It was aВ beautiful full moon night.

Just then a real horror began! First of all, some large flying bodies that looked like flying witches darkened the moon. I regretted coming there and the fact that I didn’t ask the guide when the nearest witch’s Sabbath was going to happen. Those black shadows came noiselessly and circled in front of us. Then we could see they were only big bats! We laughed at our cowardice until we saw that a strange procession was coming slowly toward us from behind Stonehenge. There were a dozen figures. Each one wore a long white robe and a hood that covered his head. They might have been the spirits of dead astronomers and it was incredible to see black holes inside their hoods! We could do only one thing-hide. The ghostly Druids stood in the center of the stone circle and began to perform incomprehensible rituals.

We held our breath while watching such strange things. But at that moment IВ dropped my torch and it started rolling on the ground making aВ loud noise. Those ghostly Druids quickly caughtВ us and tiedВ us toВ aВ rock. As they surroundedВ us with dry firewood, we had no doubt about their plans. When some ofВ them came up toВ us with fire, IВ saw all my life passing before my eyes like aВ movie. IВ prayed for aВ painless death. Next IВ heard an inhuman scream, which pierced my skull, and suddenly IВ realized that it was IВ who had produced it. Only the silent night answered. Yet the stone-giants were watching it all from their massive heights.

The Druid leader wanted to make the killing official, so before lighting the fire, he asked our names and birthplaces in an ancient language, which was difficult to understand. We answered with hesitation. I didn’t seem to attract much of their attention, but the fact that Martyn was from Wales excited that ghostly crow. Next, the head Druid asked Martyn his family name. “Oakey”, he answered and an emotional storm surged through the crowd upon finding out that Martyn was a part of their sacred clan. Then the leader restored silence by waving a sleeve of his robe and said, “Everyone who sees this secret ritual must die, even if he is a descendant of our sacred clan”. Martyn very quietly asked,“Please let us know what we have seen because after all, you are going to kill us and it won’t harm anybody if we would know”. The leader answered, “Every two months, we astronomers, Welshmen’s spirits from ancient times, gather here as we did when we were alive, to define the dates for the lunar and solar eclipses. This great accomplishment gives us a true forecasters authority!” Martyn was surprised, saying, “Why? Everybody knows how to find the dates of eclipses for this decade, even children”. The leader got angry, and said, “You brazen liar”, and
