On my travels I have noted many old millstones in use as thresholds to gateways and doorways of not only homesteads but pre-Reformation churches as well. Could there be a now lost tradition here?
Millstones represent a turning motion with the ground grains rotating in spirals between the stones, the end product being the primary family staple, and here I suspect a ‘something’ signficance.
Has anyone here come across such usage, or know of some tradition or other?
