Haunted Spaces, Sacred Places by Brian Haughton ISBN: 9781601630001 Paperback, $28 |
Haunted Spaces, Sacred Places is a
fascinating and thoroughly researched exploration of the archaeology,
legends, and modern mysteries of 32 ancient places throughout the
world—from the mysterious megaliths of Britain and Ireland, the haunted
tombs of the Etruscans, and the Pagan origins of Germany’s Aachen
Cathedral to the ancient Native American city of Cahokia, the enigmatic
Cambodian Temple of Angkor Wat, and the sacred Aboriginal rock formation
of Uluru. Why are strange phenomena so often connected with these ancient sites? Are certain sacred places somehow able to generate or attract paranormal phenomena? Or can such events be explained in terms of modern myth and contemporary folklore? What can the legends and folklore of ancient places throughout the world reveal to us about the beliefs and ideas of our ancient ancestors? These are just some of the questions answered in Brian Haughton’s enthralling new book. In Haunted Spaces, Sacred Places you will discover: • The relationship between ancient Native American sites and unexplained phenomena in Colorado’s San Luis Valley. • The truth behind the legends of the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in China, home of the Terracotta Warriors. • The legendary history of ancient sites such as Stonehenge, Chartres Cathedral, Delphi, Cuzco, and the Ohio Serpent Mound. • The prevalence of modern encounters with ghosts, UFOs, spooklights, Bigfoot, and phantom dogs at ancient sacred places. With more than 25 photographs and illustrations, this is the ideal reference work for those interested in the connections between ancient places, folklore, and unexplained phenomena. |

Twelve-Tribe Nations: Sacred Number and the Golden
Age by John Michell & Christine Rhone ISBN: 9781594772375 $30 |
The symbolism and use of the number twelve
in organizing ancient societies. • Connects the zodiac, the twelve months of the year, and the political divisions of ancient nations • Explores the sacred geography of ancient landscapes in Europe and Israel Throughout the world - in countries as far apart as China, Ireland, Iceland, and Madagascar - there survive records and traditions of whole nations being divided into twelve tribes and twelve regions, each corresponding to one of the twelve signs of the zodiac and to one of the twelve months of the year. Best known are the twelve tribes of Israel under King Solomon, but there have been many others. Wherever they occur, they are associated with an ideal social order and a golden age of humanity. Exploring examples of these twelve-tribe societies, John Michell and Christine Rhone explain the blueprint for this organizational structure and look at the musical, mythological, and astronomical enchantments that kept these societies in harmony with the cosmos. They also examine the astrological landscapes of classical Greece, the aligned St. Michael sanctuaries of Europe, and the true site and function of the Temple in Jerusalem. They show that the sacred geography of these sites was part of an ancient code of knowledge that produced harmony between nature and humanity and is as relevant to our present and future as it was to our past. |
