Earth Symbols
Alex B. Champion, Ph. D., Owner.
An earth symbol is a large walkable earthwork, with Sunken paths and elevated earth mounds. The designs are based on the archetypal patterns of Nature, and laid out using principles of sacred geometry, and geomancy. It is an earth sculpture, and a unique garden, as well as a spiritual symbol. It can be used for a personal spiritual pilgrimage, group ceremonies or walks. Or it can be used as place where people can gather to walk, talk, or have fun. A labyrinth naturally creates a sense of community. Alex Champion may be reached at (707) 895-3375, (707) 895-2598 (fax), PO Box 145, Philo, CA 95466 USA; or through email - Ask to receive his brochure and or his wife, Joan's "Voices of the Labyrinth" catalog. Check out his Earth Symbols website.
Labyrinth Supplies
Finger Labyrinths
Finger labyrinths are a wonderful way to get to gnow these ancient single path magical tools. "Walking" a lefthanded and a right handed labyrinth at the same time, does very interesting things to your brain. Walking a single one is relaxing, especially with the eyes closed.
Paxworks - Hardwood labyrinths good Chartres type.
Canvas Labyrinths
Labyrinth Enterprises - Robert Ferre's web site. Robert makes the most
accurate mass produced Canvas Chartres type labyrinths. Good how to books.
Labyrinth making kits. This is a good one.
Labyrinthos - Jeff Saward is now making canvas labyrinths in the UK. This is the only canvas labyrinth maker I know of in Great Britain
In general in you live in the US a good place to look for Geomantic books is EastWest.com in California.

What makes Voyager software so nice is that you can adjust the horizon - an absolutely necessary part of geomantic work.
Astronomical Software on the Internet
Internet Astronomy Software Programs Link. Many thanks to Jim Baldwin <taoofeng (AT) gnn.com> who gathered this information together. Jim writes, "I've been doing a lot of surfing lately on Astronomy programs. The following is my list of the 'Best Of'. They are all shareware (free download and trial) unless noted (like the nice eclipse programs). One that you may be particularly interested in is the Planetarium program. You can (somewhat crudely) input your horizion into it to see what is truly visible and what is not. It only displays the planets, however - no stars. I can't remember if it does the Sun and Moon either. It also has a format problem. If you try to display a year further back than 999 BCE, year 1000 BCE shows up as 1000 BCE. I'm going to e-mail the author about this. Anyway, download and enjoy. r.

Review : General astronomy programs, but their Eclipse Complete program looks excellent - it shows the path of the eclipse across the Earth's surface. Cost $130.
Clinometers
Tools to measure angle of elevation to the horizon.
I use the Suunto PM-5/360 PC Clinometer. Made in Finland. I ordered mine in the US from Forestry Suppliers Inc., Box 8397, Jackson, Mississippi 39204, USA. He also has a leather case # 37011.
This tool is designed for foresters to estimate the board footage of a tree. It is therefore not really set up for long-range elevation measurements - however it is the best pocket tool I have found yet.
It is our intention to build on this meagre list. If you have a favorite geomantically-related shop, center, catalog, or run one yourself where things geomantic are to be found, please let Sig know. All suggestions, if unknown by MAG, will be dowsed for suitablilty.
