Author Description

Hundreds of the most enigmatic ancient sites in the world align to the sun at the solstices and equinoxes, including Stonehenge, the Great Sphinx, and the statues of Easter Island. Some of the greatest spiritual figures in history, such as Jesus, Osiris, Mithra, Krishna, and Quetzalcoatl, experienced major life events at these times, such as their birth and resurrection. They were celebrated by ancient Persians, Hindus, Maya, Inca, Native Americans, Druids, and Europeans as their most important days-and are still celebrated by billions of people today. Why was the sun so spiritually important to these ancient people, and why did they align some of the most incredible ancient sites on Earth to it? Throughout the world there is evidence of an ancient Religion of the Sun that spread across continents and gave rise to the greatest spiritual treasures in history. At the heart of this religion lay a sacred path imbued in the cycles of the earth and sun. This book uncovers the profound meaning the solstices and equinoxes held to many ancient peoples, and describes how this knowledge can be practiced today. It includes detailed guides of how to celebrate the solstices and equinoxes as in ancient times with example ceremonies. Embark on a journey through the great wisdom of the ancients and cosmos with hundreds of illustrations, excerpts from sacred texts, and detailed descriptions of ancient sites.
