In Search of the Southern Serpent sees Hamish Miller, Scottish blacksmith, dowser and author, and Barry Brailsford, New Zealand Historian and author, combine their talents to create a unique book. Brought together by fortuitous happenstance from opposite sides of the world, they found their respective skills and knowledge to coalesce to produce fascinating insights into the earth wisdom of the Māori and their ancestors. Serpent grew out of five years research on New Zealand sacred sites by Hamish and his partner and fellow dowser, Ba Russell. With skills honed in their groundbreaking work in mapping the famous Michael-Mary earth energy line in England and the Athena-Apollo line across Europe, they were wonderfully prepared to study sacred sites in New Zealand. Barry, a guardian of the sacred lore of these sites, shares within these pages, knowledge held fast until this time. "Trails long closed open again; we need to honour the wisdom of the ancestors that it might be shaped anew for this age. That is what each generation is called to do." This dynamic combination of authors deepens our understanding of 'place'. Not just of the places mentioned, which is does brilliantly, but about the 'power of place' recognised by the ancestors and still affecting our lives today. Too dry and too deep? Hardly - laughter and fun fill these pages. It's a glimpse into the unseen, an exciting journey beyond the five senses that's open to everyone.
