The New View over Atlantis

A classic of the “earth mysteries” tradition, this book explores the idea that ancient sites, standing stones, churches, and landscape features are connected by alignments often called ley lines. John F. Michell, a leading figure in the 1960s and ’70s revival of interest in sacred geometry and geomancy, argues that these patterns reflect a lost system of sacred science embedded in the British landscape. Blending antiquarian research, folklore, mysticism, and speculative history, he presents a vision of the countryside as a vast symbolic and spiritual map. Provocative and imaginative, it will appeal to readers interested in alternative archaeology, sacred landscapes, and the cultural history of esoteric thought.
