The main reasons to visit or build sacred power centres, says sacred space designer Chuck Pettis, are to have profound mystical experiences, grow spiritually, heal the earth and meditate to expand one's consciousness. Pettis provides a powerful aid to these purposes with Secrets of Sacred Space, in which the complicated subjects of geomancy, symbolism, numerology, and astronomical alignments are explained in depth. Secrets of Sacred Space is not only a guided tour of ancient monuments such as Stonehenge, but a practical manual for creating one's own sacred space, whether with gigantic boulders on a mountain top or tiny shells on a shelf. Readers learn how to choose a sacred site, communicate with spiritual beings and dowse for earth energies; and are treated to a plethora of other fascinating and useful occult and practical information needed to create sacred places. --P Randall Cohan

2.0 out of 5 stars Difficult One, 20 Nov 2002

By	Shropshire Traveller "double u *3 dot equinox... (Cheshire) - See all my reviews

This is a book that has had me scratching my head in trying to work out how to write a balanced review. I am always reticent to write a more negative review, as I recognize how much authors invest of themselves in a work. It is well written, and well explained, assuming a very base level knowledge. Some may say this was a dumbed-down approach, but it is helpful for anyone not familiar with the themes of the book, and etymologies of keywords are consistently supplied.

The book is written as a handbook for interpreting ancient monuments, and understanding the nuances that help them to function as sacred spaces. The author draws on many ancient monuments, British, European, and several North American monuments - for those largely familiar with European, and pyramid cultures this is a refreshing inclusion. He also cites several of his own impressive projects, giving extensive account of how they were made...

The book appeals to me as a gardener wishing to incorporate sacred space into my gardening, and as a scholar of different beliefs, especially of those relating to ancient monuments. It is a largely enjoyable read, though the latter third of the book becomes frighteningly like a maths textbook in explaining alignments. For those already inclined towards belief that could be classified as 'new age', this will be a good read, but I feel that many will take issue with much that Chuck Pettis writes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keeping the tradition of stone circles alive!, 6 Nov 2000

By A Customer

This is a well-balanced book, taking either a traditional, scientific approach to sacred spaces, or encouraging people to create their own power centers. Secrets of Sacred Space is filled with photos, drawings, diagrams, and a brilliant color insert. If the geometry gets too overwhelming, you'll be comforted with the wisdom and history within.
