  • Product Description

    Take time out from the stress of modern life and return to the venerated natural spaces that still hold the ancient sense of the sacred. Visit Mayan caves and Australian aboriginal rock art, stand in awe before the megaliths of Creevykeel, Ireland, and the sacred notched mountain of the Teotihuanicos of Ancient Mexico, commune with the spirits of Minoan temples and sacred lakes. Enhanced by many unusual photos, the prose speaks with intelligence and reverence of sacred places in all their ancient forms, natural or constructed. Not only may it remind you that landscape was to our ancestors full of myth, imagery, memory, spirits, and powers, but also it may rekindle your appreciation of the spiritual power of the natural world.
