Critics Review
“This is by no means a simple read. It is complex, but ultimately fascinating. It will please and intrigue all who are interested in earth mysteries, ley lines, sacred geometry, geomancy, gematria, sacred sites, and archaeoastronomy. I was surprised by the complexity of the evidence from antiquity that survives to this day… . It is a fine memorial to the pioneering and prolific writer John Michell.” * Jennifer Hoskins, New Dawn, No. 116, Sep/Oct 2009 *
“This reprint of John Michell’s modern classic of 1994 is timely in that it reminds us of the source of some of the ageless principles that have guided humanity’s progress… . spellbinding book by a pioneering researcher of sacred landscapes.” * Nexus New Times Magazine, Vol. 17, No. 1, Jan/Feb 2010 *
“… no library should be without.” * EarthRites.org, May 2011 *
