      Galileo Galilei beschrieb das Universum als grosses, in der Sprache der Mathematik verfasstes Buch, das sich nur jenen erschliesst, die mit seinen Merkmalen vertraut sind. Die Gesetze der Geometrie sind keine menschliche Erfindung. Sie wirken von jeher in der Natur und bergen eine über alle Zeiten und Orte hinweg gültige Wahrheit. Dieses Buch enthüllt in über 300 farbigen Illustrationen den geheimen Code dieser geometrischen Figuren und die spirituelle Bedeutung die sich in den elementaren Zahlen von eins bis zwölf ausdrückt. Es wird erläutert, wie die verschiedenen geometrischen Formen gebildet werden, welches ihre Symbolik ist, wie sie sich ergänzen und miteinander verschmelzen und welche Funktion sie in der universellen Ordnung haben. Eine Entdeckungsreise, die uns die Welt in neuem Licht sehen lässt und ein allumfassendes Weltbild erschliesst - jenes 'Musterbild im Himmel', das gemäss Sokrates, 'jeder in seinem Inneren finden und herausbilden kann'.

      Do particular sounds have particular magical effects? Discussing this question, this book talks about the deadly daggers of D, the trivialising teasing taunts of T and the nagging nasal negatives associated with N. It is useful for orators, poets and sorcerers, and is humorously illustrated by Guardian cartoonist, Merrily Harpur.

Je to tajuplný ostrov, jenž odedávna přitahuje pozornost všech, kdo se zajímají o historii, mytologii, folklór a především o věci mezi nebem a zemí. Průvodce Esoterická Anglie zachycuje na fotografiích a kresbách a především v zasvěceném textu stovky legendárních i téměř zapomenutých míst: posvátné prameny, megality, hory, jezera a řeky, starobylé kostely a katedrály stojící na místech, která byla uctívána před mnoha tisíciletími.

      Stonehenge today is a battlefield, not only for police and festivalgoers at midsummer but also for rival camps of archaeologists, astronomers, and other researchers into the mysteries of prehistoric religion and science. Controversy flared up in 1963, when Gerald Hawkins made early use of the computer to identify Stonehenge as an observatory for the sun and moon and an instrument for predicting eclipses. Further studies of megalithic sites by Alexander Thom proved that many of them were also related to the seasonal positions of the heavenly bodies. The study of astro-archaeology has now expanded worldwide, bringing new revelations about the mystical sciences of antiquity. This "little history" summarizes the issues involved in astro-archaeology, and illustrates its principal sites and personalities. Included are recent findings of British scientists, whose records of anomalous levels of natural energies at stone circles are in accordance with the magical reputations of such places in local folklore. The present state of research and the exciting prospects for astro-archaeology in the future are summed up in the final chapter. 97 b/w illustrations. Previously published under the title Secrets of the Stones.
