Need Help Conjuring Up A Title

Normally I am good with title but this one has me stumped.

I would like the title to envoke magic/mystical BUT I am looking for something that is grounded in popular myth. A myth of a divine place or mystical stone something like...Old Man of Storr (on the Isle of Skye) . I also am looking for the title to also refer to the stone table -

You see my problem, I have quite a few things I want the title to hit upon but no title comes to mind. Anyone have any suggestions?

looks like a picnic table to me. you can't say flintstones though. i suppose you could call it the round table. or something in that realm

It means "Stone Table" in Latin

Mike it is indeed a park table - made from coral rock (and not all too comfortable to sit on I might add)

Robert, had not thought of using another language to bestow the title on it. I will keep that in mind before making a final decision.

I have also gotten feedback from Gerald and Vivian that it looks something akin to Knights of the Round Table.

I remember seeing a photo of someplace in the U.K. that had stone columns and a round table that was on an 'island' somewhere in a park or maybe private property....it was called something. I remember liking the name as that it did have a poetic/myth connection. Anyone have an idea of the place I am talking about???? Will look some more to see if I can find that.

Any other suggestions?

Needs some Photoshp magic. Perhaps some more light from above illuminating the table. My eye is drawn down the path on the right, not to the table.

May be You have seen the round table of the Fellowship of the Knights of the Round Table of King Arthur in Tintagel (Cornwall). But I would wonder if anyone would see a connection with this little table. Merlin would laugh when he had seen Arthur's solution of his recommendation of a round table for his 32 knights :)

What about Freddy Kruger's picnic table lol! or
the dark site of the universe (okay, I am quiet)

Folkmoot. An Old English word for meeting place.

My thanks to Mike S, Robert K. Jamie R., Rudi P, Barbara M., Melissa H., Gerald S., Vivian A., Joseph C., Kathleen P., Joe S., Steven W., Johanna S. with their title suggestions and insights.

The more suggestions that came in, the more 'food for thought' I saw how the simple common table plays a supporting role in everyday life...in poems, in myths, in world history and even the common vernacular. In all it took me two days of discovery and collecting my thoughts in the description that fully sets the table as a -gathering place- from the Knights of the Round Table to Folkmoot to the Last Supper to the Declaration of Independence to Family Life to the common saying of "bringing something to the table."

In all, the heart of it is: At Journey's End, the table is the gathering space where life and magic unfold.

And thanks to Andy P. and Barbara S for the laugh - after all that thinking my brain needed something light-hearted. Thanks for 'bringing that to the table".:-)

***Edward, I did take your suggestion to heart - it was a little too dark so levels & curves and some layers brought it out more.
