Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

I read Robot Emperor's post last night and thought perhaps Brian Cox had paid us a visit (as if). He made his point vividly and I think you have answered really well Sea Cat. Its not really a case of 'either/or' just about keeping an open mind to new knowledge and unproven possibilities - who knows there may even be a 'higher power' out there in the universe somewhere that we mere mortals can sometimes tap into. I live in hope.

Going back to ley-lines, a couple of years back I was out at Avebury for the winter solstice and dropped into the Henge Shop. Blazing log fire and and couple of authors promoting their book; feeling full of seasonal good cheer I bought a copy which they kindly signed.

By Peter Knight and Toni Perrott, the book is called The Wessex Astrum - Sacred Geometry in a Mystical Landscape[/] published by Stone Seeker Publishing ISBN 978-0-9560342-0-5. Archaeology it is not; basically it is about leylines that make up [i]"the landscape hexagram of Wessex, involving Glastonbury, Stonehenge, Avebury and other ancient sites. The authors tell of the discoveries of new megaliths, esoteric church symbolism, Knights Templar sites, lost chapels and holy springs". I confess I haven't yet read it fully though did visit one of the churches mentioned at Longbridge Deverill. Oddly enough this visit was made when I accompanied my friend (with dogs) to the funeral of John Michell on 1st May 2009 and have just come across the 'order of service' tucked away in the above book. It was a surprisingly traditional service and needless to say the William Blake hymn "And did those feet in ancient times ..." was sung.

A thought provoking subject and an interest reawakened. Good stuff.
