The Druid's Temple
The Druid's Temple in Ilton, Yorkshire was built in the early 1800's as a means to help individuals during an economic downturn, however the builder William Danby of Swinton Park was less successful in hiring an ornamental hermit in which to stay on the area for seven years. It is based off older stone circles like Stonehenge even though it lacks any broader purpose than ornamental function and temporary employment of local laborer's.

The ancient Celts saw the wild boar not only a food source, but also as a trickster and fearsome beast as reflected in lore.
Vicious, they could cause death and chaos if provoked, yet prized for its succulent meat. Tales of this sacred animal can be found in stories of Finn McCool and his band of Fianna.
The Norse god Freyr had a wild boar called Gullinbursti, which means'Golden mane'. Its bristles glowed, lighting his path in the dark.
Very important to our people, yet doesn’t get nearly the respect it deserves, the boar has been a sacred animal to Hyperboreans since the dawn of time.

Väinämöinen, The Eternal Sage
Väinämöinen is the most famous and prominent of all Finnish mythological figures. He is a God, a Hero and a Sage!
In the Kalevala Väinämöinen is the main hero being responsible or involved in most of the epics stories and plot, during which he invents the Kantele (a Finnish instrument) and is responsible for the formation of much of the Finnish landscape.
However the Kalevala was altered slightly by it's collector and writer Elias Lönnrot who downplayed the role of the Bear Cult in Finnish Myth and Spirituality, as well as the prominence of Väinämöinen demoting the most prominent god of the Finn's to a Human Hero and placing a Christian Sky-god Archetype in charge (Ukko). Though in the Kalevala Väinämöinen still maintains much of his role and power and is master over the land due to his knowledge, experience and connection to it as opposed to ownership able to use Runesong to win duels and shift the environment at his whim.-TLK
