Shining Land

Primeval Guardian, Pordenack Point, Cornwall

We’re starting a Kickstarter campaign to fund the production and printing of my book ‘Shining Land – the ancient sites of West Penwith and what they tell us about megalithic civilisation‘.

I’m really happy about this. Though I’m not bad at self-promotion, something in me dislikes it, and I’m doubly happy that some good friends have taken it on themselves to do this. To me, it suggests that the universe might be wanting this to happen.

You see, it’s not just because it’s my own book that’s getting published. Been there, done that. It’s the ideas inside. They are not generally accepted today – and this has been the story for me and for many, or all, other geomancers for too many decades.

In the book I propose an entirely different view about the meaning of ancient sites. I might not be correct in every detail, but the gist of what I am saying needs full and proper consideration. This will take time, and perhaps a new generation.

What am I saying? Well, previous postings give good tasters, and the book and an ample website are already available online, here…

It all starts from a simple observation. When you enter an ancient site you are entering a concentrated and consecrated energy-field. And you come out changed. This is not accidental.

I guess it’s a book of clues for a future time. A time when we address the matter of repairing the damaged energy-fields of our planet. It uses West Penwith (where I live) as an example of how this works.

I don’t have all the answers – this is the task of the coming decades, and I won’t be here to join in. But this book contains some fizzly keys and clues that might help. It moves things forward an inch. It’s all to do with energy-fields.

I’m glad it will come out in print. Thanks particularly to Rob, Rachel and Kai for what they are doing – and all other supporters too. It brings a big smile to my face!

Please permit me to invite you to contribute toward the print-publication of this book. It’s all here:

Maps

of the Ancient Sites and Alignments of Cornwall

These maps go through an update about every six months – they were first researched and constructed between 2015 and 2022. They’ve just gone through another update.

You won’t notice much of a visible difference, because they’re also a database of information about each ancient site and alignment – and it is mostly these details that get updated. I have also done some weeding of a few alignments that are less plausible. Just click on any symbol or line, and info about it will pop up – including links to other useful sites, map references and more details.

The positioning of all ancient sites on the map is pretty exact, so you can use it to find them in the field. With a few carefully thought-through exceptions, all alignments are accurate to within just 3 metres or 10ft.

However, when you’re out visiting and ‘bothering’ sites, please consider this. Geomantic energies and mobile-phone signals are not compatible – it’s like playing heavy metal music loudly, next to a tinkling stream. So if you approach ancient sites with your phone switched on, you’re not only desensitising yourself, but also you are tampering with the energy-fields of the site you’re visiting. Just because what we call ‘earth energies’ cannot currently be detected by scientific instruments, it does not mean that this will always be the case. So pls to do not contribute to the contamination of the subtle energy-fields of ancient sites – whether or not you believe what I’m talking about. Thank you!

And do enjoy using the maps. They’re for you – if you’re mad on Cornwall.

The Cornwall Chapters in Shining Land

This might interest those of you who are interested!

These are two chapters from my book about Penwith’s ancient sites, called Shining Land – except these two are about the whole of Cornwall.

From an alternative archaeologist’s viewpoint. With a few speculations thrown in for consideration. Food for thought. With love from the far end in (currently) wind-blown Penwith.

It’s a 20ish minute read (goes well with a mug of tea). I might do an audio version sometime – you never know.
