    An Ancestral Legacy Explained
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 17, 2011*

Avebury Cosmos by Nicholas R. Mann opens the doorway we always knew was there at the stone circles.  Behind that doorway is the answer to the question "Why?"  Mann provides star charts, reconstructed graphics of the hills and rivers along with our ancestor's construction projects to help us understand their sacred space.  He examines three circles in one place: the earthworks and stones at Avebury, the hills surrounding that complex, and the stars which circled Avebury in each of 3 millennia BCE when these monuments were constructed.  Therein lays the answer to why?  The Avebury complex is the Milky Way.From the chalk white ditch to the sealed Long Barrow to the last elevation at Silbury Hill, Mann illustrates in detail how the builders saw their skies and how the skies were changing because of the precession of the Equinox.  The stones reveal the changes in the sky.  The stars slipping below the horizon out of sight indicate the reason for changes on the ground.  Kennet Long Barrow was sealed as the celestial changes were nearly complete when it no longer marked the constellation we call the Southern Cross.  Silbury Hill was erected as a last ditch effort to memorialize that vanishing constellation.  From the first earthworks at Windmill Hill to the final building of Silbury Hill, the ancestors labored for three thousand years to bridge the gap between the Gods and Humankind.  It was a collective cooperative effort.  Mann understands that the Ancestors interacted with the sky.  They built a bridge for connection with it.  Avebury was not an observatory for the advancement of science, something we would more easily understand.  It was a testament of their relationship with the night sky.Nicholas Mann has given us a fine accounting of this bond with the celestials. He is careful, more careful than I, to avoid ascribing motive or spiritual principles to his analysis of the land and stars.  Given the generations upon generations of celebrants at Avebury, he explains that the site is inclusive.  It allowed the people to explore their relationship to the Cosmos in myths that made sense to them.  Still, he offers the reader sufficient basis to draw some spiritual conclusions from their own experiences with the World Tree, tiered shamanic worlds and the circle.  I delight in his observation that Avebury is itself a quartered circle, marked by Cygnus and the Southern Cross on the north-south axis and by the ecliptic crossings of the Sun on the east-west axis against the constellations of Sagittarius and Gemini. I cheer his recognition of the Axis Mundi encircled by the Milky Way as the World Tree.  These acknowledgements fit my own cosmos, but Mann leaves room for all of us.  The work is scientific.  It is footnoted and indexed.  It lacks a glossary of scientific terms. Avebury Cosmos is highly recommended for the student of history, the neo pagan seeking to re-create sacred space, or the curious tourist in Avebury who asks "what was this all about anyway?"

    A True Revelation--At Last! Someone Has Opened the Door to the Ancestral World!
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 22, 2011*

Clearly in writing this book Mr. Mann has been touched by Awen.  It is not a book, so much as a breakthrough in understanding and envisioning the ancestral tribes and the worldview that informed the building of the great megalithic monuments.  What Mr. Mann does that no other geomancer has achieved (and he has done it so well!) is to vividly evoke the world of the ancient peoples in a way that leaves us feeling we are there.  The stunning spectacle of the changes in the night skies in relation to the sacred landscape provides a missing piece that illuminates why and how the ancestors constructed their societies and monuments as they did.  However, Mr. Mann's book goes so much further, for by illuminating the ancestral worldview in such vivid detail, he also illuminates how modern, mainstream societies and belief systems have continued instinctively copying the cosmic pattern, but without the enlightened understanding of what we are seeing.  The implications of this revelation are far-reaching; implicit within them is a key to how we might restore balance in our own time and world.A good dose of fact is balanced here by a measured re-envisioning of what the facts imply about life in ancient times.  While some scholars may object to exploring anything that cannot be definitively proved, for your average person who is seeking profound, yet practical insight into the ancestral world and mind--and perhaps even a glimpse into the spiritual landscape and worldview of our own time--nothing can touch this book.  It is well written, easy to understand, well illustrated, makes cogent arguments, is well-researched, and paints a picture of why and how these monuments were used that is completely captivating and utterly unforgettable.  I have read many superficially similar books that mostly talked about what they could not (or dare not) say.  This book is different; by drawing upon all of the evidence across disciplines, it delivers everything it promises, and more.  A brilliant, original, insightful piece of work that will change the way all of us see and understand the ancestors, the night skies, society and the cosmic order.
