Does the Earth have a living energy system? Is it possible to find water using dowsing? What is the ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui? Why are dragons so often associated with ley lines? Were ancient sites around the world deliberately placed on a grid? Was a sophisticated Earth science once practiced all over the globe?
Written by six expert authors and illustrated with rare engravings, woodcuts, original drawings and diagrams, Geomancy is the ultimate guide to Earth Mysteries, probing the hidden frontiers of ancient knowledge to uncover the lost traditions of our living planet.

About the Author
Hugh Newman runs the Megalithomania conference and Megalithomania tours. Also author of Earth Grids and Giants on Record, he has appeared on numerous television shows, including Ancient Aliens. He lives a stone’s throw from Stonehenge.
The idea that there is, or even might be, an Earth grid seems far fetched to many people. However, travellers have always needed to know where they are on the planet and the ancient system of longitude and latitude is one such grid which we all still use today.
The use of geometry is particularly widespread in the buildings of the ancient world and modern grid researchers speculate as to whether the ancients, when siting their great temples, were aware not only of the local archaeoastronomy, but also of the relationship of their location to other important sites around the world.
Nowadays we have electricity grids, water networks, phone systems and the internet, which criss-cross and surround us all. In the ancient world, the Chinese system of medicine described meridians of energy travelling through the body with acupuncture points at its nodes, and understood the Earth as having a similar network of energy lines.
The Earth today is seen as a living organism, and in the last thirty or so years, various books and articles have proposed Earth energy grids and the placement of ancient sites upon them. Indeed, the way they are placed around the planet suggest an informed and scientific project that was shared all around the globe in prehistory.
This book unravels the short history of grid research and takes another look at the distribution of sacred sites around the planet, revealing a remarkable network of surveying and megalithic engineering that supports the ancient idea of a geometric, or ‘Earth-measured’ worldview, which can now be seen as a new model for Gaia.
