Evan Hadingham – Ancient Carvings in Britain - Sacred geography

Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
Maps have been recorded carved in stone and also painted onto cave walls. Because the carving of stone is so tedious, the maps on stones use coded symbols, much as we use symbols in ordnance survey maps. The symbols are of course spiritual symbols of what might be expected at a certain location.
A description of the experience
Evan Hadingham – Ancient Carvings in Britain (1974)
The careful siting of complex patterns not merely on the nearest available flat rock but on impressive slabs which usually overlook wide ranging views should excite the visitor’s curiosity.
