Learn to cultivate a traditional, beneficial relationship with the
land by embracing the forgotten practices of our ancestors •
Details the ancient art of geomancy and Earth magic, including how
to work with ley lines, astrology, and the four directions to honor
a space and make it a place of power • Explores the magic of the
land around us and how our ancestors interacted with Earth energies
and the forces of Nature • Discusses the power of boundaries and
magic circles, the proper “feng shui” of graveyards and
cemeteries, and magically powerful places such as crossroads,
fairgrounds, and the mystic triangles found in “no-man’s
lands” Our ancestors were deeply aware of the magical power of
their local landscape, no matter where they lived. Every
interaction with their environment--from building to farming to the
layout of ancient cities--took into account terrestrial energies,
ancestral memory, and the many seen and unseen presences in Nature.
They developed sophisticated procedures for orienting their living
spaces and respectfully working with the magic of the landscape.
Yet, much of the art of geomancy and of working with the forces of
Nature has been forgotten by modern builders, architects,
foresters, gardeners, and homeowners. The treatment of land as mere
property has led to a loss of its meaning for those who dwell upon
it. Our landscape has become disenchanted. In this book, geomancy
expert and scholar Nigel Pennick details the ancient and sacred
practices of geomancy and Earth magic and reveals how we can
reenchant and reconnect to the sacred landscape that surrounds us,
whether you live rurally, in the suburbs, or in cities. Pennick
begins with a vivid look at our modern “wasteland” and what he
calls “the ensouled world,” with specific examples from Britain
and Iceland of our ancestors’ way of perceiving the world they
lived in. Exploring the art of geomancy, he examines how its
techniques work with ley lines, astrology, and the old
understanding of the four directions and the eight winds to honor a
space and make it a place of power. He looks at the power of
boundaries and magic circles, including laying ghosts and
dismissing spirits, as well as the proper “feng shui” for
cemeteries and graveyards. The author then takes the reader back
into the traditional landscape to discuss magically powerful
places, such as crossroads, the occult nature of the
“fairground,” and the mystic triangles found in what are
popularly known as “no-man’s lands.” Revealing how the
landscape can be reenchanted, Pennick shows how the magic of place
is a living system that each of us can interact with.
