    Reviews from Sacred Places Around the World “… the ruins, mountains, sanctuaries, lost cities, and pilgrimage routes held sacred around the world.” (Book Passage 1/2000) “For each site, Brad Olsen provides historical background, a description of the site and its special features, and directions for getting there.” (Theology Digest Summer, 2000) “(Readers) will thrill to the wonderful history and the vibrations of the world’s sacred healing places.” (East & West 2/2000) “Sites that emanate the energy of sacred spots.” (The Sunday Times 1/2000) “Sacred sites (to) the ruins, sanctuaries, mountains, lost cities, temples, and pilgrimage routes of ancient civilizations.” (San Francisco Chronicle 1/2000) “Many sacred places are now bustling tourist and pilgrimage desti- nations. But no crowd or souvenir shop can stand in the way of a traveler with great intentions and zero expectations.” (Spirituality & Health Summer, 2000) “Unleash your imagination by going on a mystical journey. Brad Olsen gives his take on some of the most amazing and unexplained spots on the globe — including the underwater ruins of Bimini, which seems to point the way to the Lost City of Atlantis. You can choose to take an armchair pilgrimage (the book is a fascinating read) or follow his tips on how to travel to these powerful sites yourself.” (Mode 7/2000) “Should you be inspired to make a pilgrimage of your own, you might want to pick up a copy of Brad Olsen’s guide to the world’s sacred places. Olsen’s marvelous drawings and mysterious maps enhance a package that is as bizarre as it is wonderfully acces- sible.

  • Early Christian Era | H1 Notes
    Early Christian Era | H1 Notes The People From around 430AE, missionaries were sent to Ireland. Christianity gradually grew, and trade in and out of the country increased. As a result, skills like Roman metalworking and writing were imported too, and by the 7th Century, the period known as the Irish Golden Age had begun. Elements from a mixture of cultures, techniques and art styles (Celtic La Tène, Mediterranean knotwork, Anglo-Saxon & Pictish intertwined zoomorphic designs, and later, Viking Urnes style), were adopted and mixed, eventually becoming what we know as Insular Art. Monasteries were established and run by various orders of monks across the island, these monasteries were centres of learning and scholarly devotion. Many of the masterpieces that were created during this time were made or commissioned to show the craftsperson/patron’s devotion. These pieces were made of precious metals and stones, some also functioned as reliquaries, (artefacts containing holy relics, like the Cross of Cong, said to contain part of the “True Cross”). The wealth concentrated in the monasteries began to attract attention. During the 11th & 12th Centuries, the Viking raids began. The monasteries stood little chance against the raiders, and so valuable pieces were often hidden away to keep them safe. Some, like the Ardagh hoard, were never recovered until many years after. Some have never been recovered. Many pieces were destroyed, melted for their precious metals, jewels torn off etc. However, as the worst of the raids passed, Irish artists began to adopt aspects of the Vikings’ Urnes style, (typified by zoomorphic interlacing (interlaced animals)).

  • Powys Press Release
    Powys County Council issued the following Press Release today (22 September 2020). Ambitious education plans to be considered Ambitious plans to transform education in Powys, providing learners with the world-class facilities they deserve, will be considered by Cabinet next week, the county council has confirmed. Following extensive engagement with key stakeholders including headteachers, school staff, governors, parents and learners last winter, Powys County Council is committed to bringing forward plans to deliver an improved learner offer for children and young people by delivering its Strategy for Transforming Education in Powys, which was approved in April. The four strategic aims of the strategy are – To improve learner entitlement and experience; To improve learner entitlement and experience for post-16 learners; To improve access to Welsh-medium provision across all key stages; and To improve provision for learners with special education needs / additional learning needs. To deliver these aims will require significant investment in the education infrastructure in Powys. On Tuesday, September 29, Cabinet will consider five reports which could see a potential investment of over £170m, resulting in brand new school facilities across the county as well as a proposal to consult on establishing a new all-age school. However, several small schools could close as part of the transforming education work. Cabinet will be considering the following plans: A new all-age community campus for Ysgol Bro Hyddgen Investment into Ysgol Calon Cymru for a new English-medium campus for pupils aged 11-18 in Llandrindod Well and a new/remodelled all-age Welsh medium campus in Builth Wells A major reorganisation of schools in the Llanfyllin catchment which could see the construction of a new all-age community campus for Ysgol Llanfyllin, a new area primary school to replace Llandysilio and Carreghofa primary schools which could also include schools from the Welshpool catchment area.

  • Sacred Landscapes in Galicia: Small Religious Architecture and Symbolism
    DOI: 10.2478/ahr-2019-0002 Pedro Calaza-Martínez et al. Acta Horticulturae et Regiotecturae 1/2019 Acta Horticulturae et Regiotecturae 1 Nitra, Slovaca Universitas Agriculturae Nitriae, 2019, pp. 8–13 SACRED LANDSCAPES IN GALICIA: SMALL RELIGIOUS ARCHITECTURE AND SYMBOLISM Pedro CALAZA-MARTÍNEZ,* Nuria FREIRE-GONZÁLEZ, Camilo BLANCO-PAMPÍN Galician Landscape School, Spain Cultural landscapes are multi-layered entities that constantly endure changes and transformations, especially in Europe due to its ancient history and anthropized nature, which reveals itself not only in physical elements, but also through immaterial heritage. This paper aims to analyse the connection between sacred landscapes, small religious architecture and folklore, focusing on the origin and transformations of several places in Galicia (northwest of Spain). Galicia is defined by its rich flora and fauna, a management of its land based on smallholding and the social idiosyncrasy of its people, defined by strong symbolism and the religious tradition that is reflected in a great amount of small sacred architecture. All this provide a paradigmatic territory for this research, allowing an approach to the case studies from the point of view of landscape architecture, assessing the small sacred architecture elements, their background, symbolism and associated vegetation. It is worth mentioning that, although vegetation had a very strong meaning and symbolism in the sacred history of Galicia, nowadays it only appears in 26% of the analysed case studies. Keywords: small sacred architecture, cultural landscape, immaterial heritage, Galicia, trees The European territory is immensely rich in terms of cultural the immaterial heritage. The Christianisation phenomenon landscape, due to the fact that it has been inhabited since involves a change of meaning, adding old beliefs and ancient times.
