One of nature’s patterns that is especially relevant to sacred landscape is her grid of invisible energy currents. Often experienced by their subtle electromagnetic fields, these energy streams create a web of power points, ley lines, and vortexes that surround the planet. The ancients all around the world were aware of these energy patterns. Many made pilgrimages to these powerful energy sites, and megalithic monuments were erected to strengthen our connection to these places. There is actually a term for the study of this phenomenon. It is called Geomancy. According to Richard Feather, “Geomancy operates within a worldview that regards the earth as a conscious living being—the earth’s body is perceived as more than a hunk of inanimate matter—it is a living being interlaced with flowing veins of bio-magnetic energy.”
The term Geomancy is not a new one. Pliny the Elder, the Greek naturalist, used it in the 1st century while working with a Persian mystic who had the gift of divining the right actions for each place. Although the term geomancy was new then, the practice of determining the right place for specific actions was not. The science of using earth energy to build rightful places for politics, worship, and battle was well established prior to King Solomon building his famous temple.
The core concept of this science is that not ALL places are alike. Some places have more power, more presence than others. There is a correct action for each place that can best harmonize human actions with nature and the cosmos.
According to Greek wisdom, each place had its unique Genus Loci, or prevailing spirit of place.
To understand sacred landscape, you must understand inner landscape. Any inhabited land is never composed of a single people, living at one time with one purpose. The land is a stratified society, informed by different levels of time, purpose, and inner resonance. Every evolutionary group lives in the “real world” but are motivated by internal conflict and personal encounter with Otherworldly energies.
It is possible to travel between worlds and for the status of one world to affect the other. A two-way traffic is possible; it has always been so. The Otherworld is the internal resonance of the everyday world; it exists out of time, simultaneously cross-intersecting ALL time and is thus accessible to visitation from any point of inner time. Within the Otherworld, archetypal forces are perceptible, and the essential wisdom teachings they offer are available to those who have the correct keys. This is the realm of quest and achievement, challenge and encounter, of invitation and transformation. It is not illusory, a figment of imagination, or anthropological invention. IT is not analogous to any drug-induced vision. The Otherworld is the mythological reality or symbolic continuum within which we can encounter the archetypal energies of the gods and their acts.
The Otherworld has its own valid reality that is not accessible to the five senses, though it is appreciable by the sixth. It may be imperfectly likened to a state of consciousness, however it really exists in its own right and has its own rules. Many sacred landscapes are gateways to the Otherworldly realms and when we enter, our lives begin to assimilate Otherworldly elements very rapidly. The Sacred places were approached with caution and respect because here lived the giants, fairies, lake-women, and magical beasts. These places were associated with special landmarks that denoted entrance to their realms. The Otherworld is inseparable from Celtic Consciousness.
Initiation into the mysteries of any sacred place involves meeting its archetypes face to face in the reality of the otherworld. We must surrender to the influence its Genus Loci . . . the spirit of the place.
Every land has its own inner landscape, its inner name, and Lady of the Land. This idea of the Lady of the Land is the personification of the land by a mythical female figure who suffers when the land is raped, and whose favors are sought as fervently as the Grail. It is my belief that the answer to the age-old question, “For Whom the Grail Serves,” is Lady Sovereignty or the Lady of the Land.
In my own experience traveling through sacred landscapes, I found we have a powerful reciprocal relationship with the Earth. The Earth herself is a trusted record keeper of human history—forgotten or buried. The stones, the dirt, the trees, and the waters hold all remembrance of all time on this planet . . . they record the vibrations of the ages as they pass. These earthen beings are our allies in our journey to knowing our true selves . . . to remembrance.
Not all Geomancy is natural and Earth based. Some Geomancy is stellar formed and some even made by humans. The Templars of olden days are known for their use of geomancy and sacred geometry in the temples they built. The Marion Temples throughout Europe are a testament to this.
We now live in a time in which we are seeing the emergence of the mystery schools into the mainstream. Vast amounts of sacred knowledge have been hidden from us for millenia in historical riddles, legends and ruins. These mysteries are no longer for the elite. The natural world, the elements, and elementals are here to help us remember. As we ask, the inner secrets are revealed. We must remember to ask.
By traveling to sacred landscapes that have venerated the sacred feminine throughout history, the Genus Loci of the land reflects a pure and undistorted image for women. In these sacred landscapes, we encounter Lady Sovereignty, the goddess that lends legitimacy and authority. And it is through meeting Her we find our own voice and inner authority.
I travel where I am guided. Many years ago, Mary Magdalene said to me, “It’s in the blood, follow the blood.” I realized I had to go to Scotland. This was my first introduction to the transformative power of the land and it is where I had my first initiation with the Sovereign Goddess herself. At this time my DNA. As I was being healed, I experienced a release in Gaia of having to hold the resonance of the trauma until the spell was broken. It was on this first pilgrimage that I heard my first stories told directly from the land. And, although I was told things I had never read in books, there was a deep knowing it was truth. Ultimately, I did my own research and realized there actually was a basis.
I thought Mary Magdalene was telling me to follow my OWN blood, so I went to Northern Spain, the land of my birth mother. That quest led me to Southern France, and I realized I was on a larger quest as I began to uncover the mysteries that were hidden since the 1st century. I was following the trail of the Judeo-Christian-Celtic mysteries.
The wisdom of the Judeo-Christian-Celtic triad in ancient times was very strong. There was a strong resonance in these spiritual cultures and they worked together until the 4th century, when they were forced to go underground and hide their collective alchemical wisdom. The secrets were entrusted to a few families until a time of remembrance.
My early travels were about remembering and reclaiming and unraveling these stories that were brimming with centuries of esoteric wisdom and secrets. Little did I know, I had just begun to uncover the deep connection with the grids and telluric energies of the land and the temple mysteries. I seemed to know where something is going to happen next; where the next grid activation would be taking place. Wherever I travel, codes are activated, I receive codes, and when I return home, I begin transmitting codes.
This is my life now. It is my mission to be a catalyst and activator for these inner codes of light that until now have been hidden in the mysteries of the ruins and the Genus Loci of the land herself. As we stream the codes and embody Lady Sovereignty, we anchor in to the new frequency fields. A result of collective sacred travel is that we infuse the gridlines of Earth with the new frequencies, reactivating the ancient portals that provide access to the hidden mysteries. As a participant in conscious sacred travel, it is now possible, indeed an honor, to work on the inter-dimensional planes and participate in the great ascension of this grand human experiment.
