Mustakivi (Mustakivi)

Black stone. Named after a nearby farm itself said to be named after an earlier cult stone. Mustakivi is one of Estonia’s erratic boulders, see Rändrahnu, located at ///stop.hamster.glorious. Renamed (1980-1989) as 21. Juuli during the Soviet occupation. Mustakivian Muslims bent on prayer should point themselves approx. 158° SSE to join the dots and face their own black stone, Kaaba (although the Dirhami rahn [Dirham stone] in Noarootsi, western Estonia, might give them more bucks for their bend ;o) See also Kivi. There is another Mustkivi erratic (without the ‘a’) on the Kakumäe peninsula at ///target.lagoon.continuation. For other erratic-themed locations, see Rändrahnu.
