Welcome

Powerpoints of Place

Geomancy explores the realm where human consciousness meets and dialogues with the Spirit of the Earth. It empowers the harmonious interaction between person and place, and can enhance spiritual growth.

Powerpoints in Time

While Geomancy honours the spirit of place, it also honours its intersection with the Spirit of Time. We honour all spiritual paths with heart, and so, we would begin by recognising that different paths see different days as special. On these islands, the builders of Stonehenge honoured the Summer Solstice, at Newgrange, they honoured the Winter Solstice, but all spiritual paths and world religions hold different days as special.

Tip o the Week

We produce a weekly Tip o' the Week. Here is a small sample of the beginning of this week's Tip:

Tip o the Week #108 - Kilmartin

What are your five favorite sacred sites in the British Isles? For me, Avebury would be number one followed closely by Glastonbury, but of the remaining three, Kilmartin, just south of Oban on the west coast of Scotland would surely be included in my list of five. I’ve just had the pleasure of spending the past weekend up there, this time with my Geomancy Group, walking the landscape and being involved in some powerful ceremonies. (Aside: Much of the past winter, Scotland has been having lots of rain, snow and gale force winds, while we down south have had a quite dry time of it. As a result, much of England is having a drought significant enough to have a hose pipe ban; however, for the past week here in Glastonbury, we have been having torrential rains. Unfortunately, because the ground is so dry, the rain couldn’t sink in, so we have had massive flooding! So sadly, the hose-pipe ban is still in place. Meanwhile, while the rain and flooding continued in England, up in Kilmartin we were blessed by a weekend of almost totally blue skies and fantastic stars at night.)

People have been in Kilmartin for at least ten thousand years - the most impressive times were from at least three thousand BCE to the middle of this past millennium. The main attraction are a row of at least five chambered cairns that march down the Kilmartin valley. All are externally covered with large well-rounded stones from the size of a croquet ball to the size of soccer/footballs. Several of these cairns had tombs large enough to get into. For me, Nether Largie North was the most impressive. You drop into the chamber from the modern roof, which slides open to allow entry down some steep stairs into a rectangular room with a rather large cist in the centre. (A cist - pronounced “kist” - is a small stone-built coffin-like box usually used to hold cremated bodies.)

UPCOMING EVENTS

Here are several events I will be speaking at in May:

Saturday and Sunday 12 & 13 May - Megalithomania -

Glastonbury Assembly Rooms, High Street, Glastonbury. I will be speaking on Ancient Sweden and Holland. For further information see <http://www.dorsetmysteries.org/contacts.php>.

Sunday 27 May - West Wales Dowsers - Archaeoastronomy -Bronwydd Village Hall SA33 6BE.Opposite Timberman Supplies in Bronwydd.The sacred sites of pre-modern cultures all over the world demonstrated evidence of an interest in astronomy. At our latitudes, they were mainly oriented to the rising and setting of the Sun or the Moon on significant days of the year - the Solstices, Equinoxes and the Celtic Cross Quarter Days. Sig will present evidence of this with a digital tour 'round our planet looking at ancient sacred sites from Mexico to Sweden, and with an emphasis on sites in the British Isles. Even more importantly, he will discuss why our ancestors were interested in these alignments. Meetings start at 2pm Doors open at 1:45pm.
