The Ancient Science of Geomancy




Mind Body & Soul Ezine Book Review: The Ancient Science of Geomancy - Living in Harmony with the Earth by Nigel Pennick. 

Also with the subtitle “Man in Harmony with the Earth”. 

Black and white illustrations and photographs illustrate this interesting and easy to read book that covers architecture, geometry, geography, cosmology, art, archeology, numerology, astronomy, astrology, surveying, religion and mythology. Churches, alignments, sacred sites, tombs, and other visible and invisible aspects are covered throughout the world. Salmon return to their birthplace, the swallow returns to its nest, animals find salt licks and water, homing pigeons find their way back to the coup. Stones, trees, springs, mountain tops, all possess an energy, recognised for millennia. There are places in the landscape that hold special vibrations due to their antiquity. Divination and boundary markers date back to ancient times too. There is lots to interest the reader in this fascinating topic and to increase their knowledge of landscape use and appreciation of vibrational energies. Enjoyable! 

The author has written extensively on this and other esoteric subjects - his books are titled: Sacred Architecture in London: Secrets of Kings College Chapel: Fortuna: Operative Witchcraft: The Book of Primal Signs: The Ancestral Power of Amulets, Talismans & Mascots: Runes & Astrology: Magic in the Landscape: The Spiritual power of Masks: Elemental Magic: The Pagan Book of Days: Creating Places of Power: Pagan Magic of the Northern Tradition: Runic Lore & Legend: Celtic Tree Alphabets: Witchcraft & Secret Societies of Rural England. Plenty here for an impressive bookcase!
