Have you ever felt, while visiting a megalithic monument, that there may be something more going on beyond the sparse model of human culture in prehistory presented by archaeologists and historians? If so, then this book may be exactly what you have been looking for - because it offers an explanation as to why those monuments are out there on the landscape, and why they were placed at a particular location. And more!

Whether the local bluestones were taken to Stonehenge or moved by glacial action, they were certainly important in prehistoric times, being employed in various stages of the construction of Stonehenge. The history of this mystery, ancient and modern, from Merlin and Geoffrey of Monmouth to the ‘healing stones’ theory of Timothy Darvill and Geoffrey Wainwright, is covered in detail.

This book provides a much needed and important guide to anyone visiting the major and a few minor megalithic sites in the Preseli region of West Wales, but it takes in a much wider compass than this. Packed with new original research, apart from telling you how to get to the major sites, and about the geometry of monuments, it will inform you on how sites relate to others, often over long distances, and how they are related to their landscapes and skyscapes, for many of these sites do astonishingly interesting things with the sun and moon during important times in the calendar.

Robin Heath is a respected lecturer, tour guide and researcher. The author of over nine books on this subject matter, he has lived and worked among the megaliths here for twenty-five years. Bluestone Magic changes the whole way we must think about our ancestral capabilities.

And there’s some quite strange stuff to consider – a great secret from the Stone Age. Robin shows unequivocally that our forebears were accurate surveyors, geometers and astronomers. In 2009 he discovered an artefact - an astonishingly accurate geometric shape - embedded into the landscape, a shape which was conceived and built during the Neolithic period and yet appears to have powerfully influenced the development of early Christianity within the Celtic Church in Wales, and is now found to be linked to the rise of an alternative spiritual and ecological movement here.

In a recent interview, the author referred to this as “Active Sacred Geometry – shapes on the landscape that behave as verbs and not nouns”, and in Bluestone Magic his case is backed up with solid evidence and objective analysis.

The big secret is out! In this remarkably practical and often witty guide book, Heath truly goes into full colour, and both reveals and revels in the beautiful landscape and the monuments that populate it, together with the secret that has waited 5000 years to be uncovered. Whether you are a new visitor to the landscape of West Wales, interested in ‘earth mysteries’ or a seasoned megalithomaniac, Bluestone Magic is the book that changes the rules, exposing the current academic disinterest in prehistoric astronomy, geometry and alignments.

Robin Heath writes: My role in this book began quite simply. I began using surveying techniques to quantify Paul’s researches and this type of evidence became astonishingly revealing. Techniques I had previously employed to investigate Neolithic and Bronze Age sites proved immediately adaptable to suit Paul’s project here and in The Secret Land I give an analysis of the sites, the evidence from surveys, and the implications that follow...

Cracking the Stone Age Code2007 Alexander Thom:
Cracking the Stone Age Code
Bluestone Press
ISBN978-0-9526151-4-9
£14.99 incl.P&P

If one had to recommend just one book for someone new to this subject, this would be it. Robin Heath not only explains Professor Thom's complicated concepts of archaeoastronomy, sacred geometry and the Megalithic Yard in a language that beginners can understand, but he also relates the sad story of how entrenched archaeologists essentially trashed Thom's work because of their lack of maths skills to understand it, and because it doesn't fit in to their anachronistic paradigm of Neolithic people as primitive savages. A must read!
