Archaeoastronomy, Dowsing, & Nature: Prehistoric & Contemporary Uses of Sacred Sites

Sig Lonegren

Nov 19-21, 2010

The evidence is clear. Prehistoric people on both sides of the Atlantic aligned their sacred sites to significant astronomical objects like the sun and the moon. Through pictures, mostly taken by Sig, and with our own eyes, if Mother Nature smiles on us, we’ll explore the stars, constellations, and planets. We’ll see Jupiter, find True North, and see some of the constellations that make up the ecliptic - the path that the sun travels on as it moves through the heavens. We’ll explore why the ancients were so interested in these heavenly bodies, including how it influenced farming, how the planets were used as archetypes, and how they were used in ceremonies.

Learn how Stonehenge, other famous sites, and those you’ve never heard of were used in ancient times and can be used now and in the future. Our focus will be between the heavens, and how the people might have related to them energetically and spiritually. We will also look at dowsing, an ancient tool that offers safe access not only to the intuition, but also to the spiritual realms. Our pre-historic foremothers and fathers saw nature as an integral part of the spiritual world and they related to it with an immediacy and presence we can regain. Learn how to listen to nature speaking to you in ways that you may not have experienced before. Astronomy, dowsing, and nature can enable you to check your “vision” to see if it really holds water. You may open up to a totally unexpected path and begin following that path. This workshop is designed to be a combination of both left brain factual information and right brain experiential material.

He has lived in Glastonbury, the stepping stone to Avalon, since the mid-80s, was a founding member of The Labyrinth Society, and has been a Trustee of the American Society of Dowsers. He wrote Labyrinths: Ancient Myths & Modern Uses, Spiritual Dowsing, and The Pendulum Kit, which sold one-and-a-half million copies and has been translated into 15 languages.
