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 #100 - Baby Sil
This is my first Tip for a while as I have been completing my iBook, The Earth Mysteries Handbook: Holistic Non-Intrusive Data Gathering Techniques. Right now, it is being edited by Frances Howard-Gordon who edited both my Spiritual Dowsing and Labyrinths: Ancient Myths and Modern Uses, and it is also being formatted for iTunes and Amazon by Jay Pritchard. So, as it is now their hands, I have time to tell you about a new discovery (for me) at Avebury that is presently called "Baby Sil."
Avebury is one of my teaching sites. Every time I go there, I learn something new. I made the rough calculation of having visited this wonderful megalithic complex at least twice a year for the last 25+ years. So in over fifty visits, I find it astounding that I have never noticed quite a large truncated cone we call Baby Sil even though I have passed within a football field of it at least twenty-five times on my way to the West Kennett Long Barrow! As far as I know, it was first noted by a man named Pete Glastonbury (I believe that this is his real name), but I was taken there by Steve Marshall, who knows Avebury like the back of his hand, and is writing a book on it this winter. I went up there last weekend with Jamie George and his wife (my Editor) Frances Howard-Gordon and several other friends.
Baby Sil is located on the Roman Road that runs from Bath to London, and skirts the edge of Silbury Hill. Baby Sil is less than a quarter of a mile East of Silbury Hill on the other side of the road.

The West Kennett Long Barrow the largest and best preserved one in England is within two fields from Silbury Hill, the largest man-made prehistoric mound in all of Europe.
West Kennett Long Barrow
From the top of this Neolithic barrow, one can see both Silbury Hill and what is presently called "Baby Sil" because like it's big sister, it is a truncated cone.

Directly above the big white megalith (just to the left of our shadows)
and across the field toward Weyden Hill is Baby Sil.
