Paul Devereux Bücher

Dieses Grundlagenwerk der Geomantie verändert unsere Perspektive auf heilige Landschaften und Kultstätten und entschlüsselt deren Geheimnisse. Vor Jahrtausenden lebten unsere Vorfahren in Stammeskulturen, die über verschiedene Ökosysteme hinweg miteinander verbunden waren. Diese frühen Kulturen waren eins mit der Natur und ihren Energien und besaßen ähnliche Methoden zur direkten spirituellen Erfahrung. Diese Kenntnisse sind verloren gegangen, und unser Planet wird zunehmend unsicher, wenn wir den Zugang zu ihnen nicht wiederfinden. Die heiligen Kultstätten der Vergangenheit können uns den Weg in eine erfülltere Zukunft weisen. Sie sind Orte der Kraft, die Offenbarungen enthalten, die unser wissenschaftlich geprägtes Auge oft nicht erkennt. Auch heute können wir die Erdenergien erfahren, die in diesen Kultstätten verborgen sind. Der Autor zeigt auf, wie wir die Geheimnisse prähistorischer Kultstätten entschlüsseln und deren Botschaften für uns nutzen können. Die Themen umfassen Kultstätten als Wissenssysteme, Archäologie, die Astronomie alter Völker, heilige Geometrie, Folklore, das Erspüren von Kultstätten, Geomantie, Analogien und Symbole sowie die lebendige Erde.

In this work, Paul Deveraux details many of Cornwall's myths and legends. He includes a study of "ley-lines", tracing their association with ancient pagan sites, old churchways and corpse roads.

A new approach to the night sky, with superb pictorial star maps - and artworks of secret celestial alignments The Language of the Stars and Planets explores the profound meanings that humankind has attributed over the centuries to the heavenly bodies. Drawing upon a mixture of astrology, astronomy, anthropology and other strands of science both ancient and modern, the authors show the underlying spiritual and psychological perceptions behind interpretations placed upon the heavens by various cultures, including Aztec, Mayan, Mesopotamian, ancient Egyptian, Native North American, Chinese and Hindu. This unique guide also features original colour artwork showing how structures such as the Great Pyramid of Giza and Stonehenge are aligned with the stars.

A fascinating and thoroughly researched book about ancient mysteries from prehistoric rock carvings, spirit ways and death roads to present day encounters with ghosts or spirits in the landscape.

This text aims to bring the secrets of the ancients to life, showing how we can benefit from their knowledge today. Earth mysteries expert Paul Devereux considers the key concepts of the ancient world, including sacred centres, pilgrimage, sacred geography and divination. He also looks at important world sites related to these key concepts, the ancient practices connected to these sites and what these reveal about the people that performed them. The author continues to investigate practical means through which we can enter the ancient mindset and benefit by experiencng the world toady from a radically different perspective.

This unique book provides a new perspective on the past, and reveals how sights we all know, and which are universally recognised, still retain and reveal to us the old knowledge of our world and our ancestors. In our 'march of progress' we have gained untold material wealth, but certain vital aspects of being human, conscious and part of nature seem to have slipped from our grasp. Guidelines that might help our future way, ironically, lie in the past. In short, we need to discover the secrets of ancient and sacred places. Paul Devereux takes a refreshing look at the often hidden, ignored or often overlooked aspects of selected major sites world-wide that, significantly, UNESCO - the cultural agency of the United Nations - has also included in its world heritage list of important natural or cultural sites.

Many people assume that experimentation with hallucinogens began with Timothy Leary and the psychedelic revolution of the fifties and sixties. In fact, as this illuminating study demonstrates, psychedelics have been used by human societies in every part of the world for ritual and spiritual purposes for millennia. As Paul Devereux points out, our modern culture is eccentric in its refusal to integrate the profound experiences offered by these natural substances into our own spiritual life and traditions. Modern Western culture's recent experimentation with psychedelic drugs raised the awareness of archaeologists and anthropologists, leading them to recognize the use of hallucinogens in surviving traditional societies and in the archaeological record. Devereux reveals dramatic new evidence - from linguistics, ethnobotany, biology, and other fields - for the psychedelic experiences of various prehistoric cultures, and ponders the implications and effects of psychedelic revelations on our contemporary worldview, linking them to out-of-body and near death experiencs, shamanic trances, even memory and dreaming.
