THE ENCHANTER
She moves through the mountains and down to the sea
She sings in celebration with her piper for me
She's leading the man who's beating the drum
Love is all around her on the road to the sun
She's lost in conversation with the birds of the air
She's trading information in a world without fear
She's fixing up a potion made of laughter and love
And I will follow the Enchanter on the road to the sun
Oh that the stars will light my way
Oh as my tides dance the ebb and sway
She's studying the planets and she's searching for signs
Her eyes promise mystery and her treasure to find
In a league with the Enchanter on the road to the sun
- Robert Plant, from Mighty Rearranger (2005)

An Introduction to the Mysteries of the Earth
Earth Mysteries, a term coined in the early 1970s, is today used to describe a multi-disciplined approach to the study of ancient megalithic sites and landscapes, a wide variety of unexplained phenomena across the planet, including ancient anomalies, alignments, crop circles, ancient earthworks, standing stones, holy wells, mazes and labyrinths, terrestrial zodiacs, folklore and folk customs, UFOs, ghosts, psychic archaeology and other related paranormal matters. Falling largely outside the accepted range of mainstream research and Earth Mysteries are generally regarded with suspicion by scholars and that is what makes it so much more appealing to many. Not confined by text book teachings, followers are free to think and operate beyond the constraints of academia.
Following John Michell’s massively influential work The View Over Atlantis (1969), the term Geomancy has come to be understood as the art of enchanting the landscape so that man is in harmony with his surroundings. Sometimes described as Sacred Engineering, it is something the ancients were particularly skilled at, evidence of which can be seen in the siting of megalithic structures and terrestrial workings around the world. To this day we still do not fully understand how they achieved this massive task, or why, but this megalithic network provides evidence that the earth was surveyed at an early pre-historic date.
Anthony Roberts took this a stage further and introduced the term Geomythics, meaning the myth in the landscape - the “geomyth.”
Geomythics has been described as the interaction of mythology and landscape; the living spirit of the earth communicating fluently through the language of geomythics.

An Introduction to Earth Mysteries
Earth Mysteries is a very subjective topic; it is denied as a discipline altogether by some and considered by others to begin with the antiquarians John Aubrey and William Stukeley. This series of articles traces the emergence of the modern Earth Mysteries movement.
