The Sun and the Serpent

Product Information

In the late 1980s two researchers into ancient mysteries began a remarkable journey of discovery across southern Britain . Their quest began at St Michael's Mount and led them to Glastonbury, Avebury and the east coast, and included a great number of ancient sites, some famous and many that had almost been forgotten. Their discoveries as they travelled along the St Michael Line, a countrywide alignment of sites dedicated to St Michael the Archangel , have deep implications for our understanding of why these places have been so important in previous ages, and why so many people are drawn to visit them today. This account of their adventures and discoveries, written by researcher and photographer Paul Broadhurst, details their quest for a rediscovery of the forces of Nature that create the 'spirit of place'. With maps and plans by dowser Hamish Miller, this book provokes a realisation that in former times the Earth was understood to be a living being whose powers were considered sacred.
