Anthony Thorley
Drawing on over thirty years' personal research into crop circles and other Earth Mysteries, Anthony presents a set of radical ideas that explore the ancient principle that the land is the repository of information, knowledge and even deep wisdom, but that its expression, breaking all boundaries of time and space, also requires our own human consciousness and sense of responsibility in order to enter into a creative dialogue, which we then find evidenced in the annual harvest in the fields.

Anthony demonstrates how, although they had no written language, people living in Western Europe four thousand years ago seem to have left evidence of considerable mathematical and astonomical knowledge which challenges our modern thinking about their culture and cosmology, and their contribution to our contemporary world.

This illustrated presentation traces the geomantic and mythical history leading to the siting of the London Olympic Games of 2012 on the Galactic Centre of the traditional Gypsy Switch English landscape zodiac. The emphasis here is on the spirit of the ancient harvest god Lugh and his role as guardian of the sovereignty of the land and how this relates to our annual gift of crop circles, and the origins of the great gatherings that have emerged as the Lughnasa harvest festival, which sacred event has come to be uncannily and significantly enacted in the Olympic Games of August 2012.

Anthony Thorley Based on several years of original research into the British landscape, this illustrated presentation traces the geomantic and mythical history of the Olympic Games of 2012.
Exploring the Galactic Centre of the Gypsy Switch landscape zodiac and its significance to the Olympic Park, the tale of the spirit of Lugh and his role of guardian of the sovereignty of the land, and the origins of the Europe-wide celebration of great gatherings and sacred games dedicated to this elusive, Mercurial sky-god of pre-Roman Europe, Anthony demonstrates how these traditions have merged as the Lughnasa August harvest festival, uncannily and significantly echoed in Olympic London in August 2012.

New Light on the Great Changes of our Times
Edited by Anthony Thorley
With contributions from:
Louise Coe, Peter Dawkins, Chris Street and Anthony Thorley How does the energy of a great city like London respond to the challenging times we are all facing in the early years of the twenty-first century? Why should London be the city that hosts the Olympic Games in the pivotal year of 2012?
In this book you will discover a host of subtle and secret processes born out of myth and legend which challenge our ideas of history in the making.
London is shown to be a living sacred landscape which expresses its own genius loci or spirit of place. A spirit nurtured by its rivers and ancient hills, influenced by its traditional gods and goddesses and strengthened in history by personalities as diverse as William Shakespeare and Sir Christopher Wren. After centuries of development and preparation, the essential folk-soul of London as a great international city has reached out and called the global family to come and experience the warmth of our welcome and the richness of our culture, and offer the world real hope for the future.
If the spirit of London can have its own dream time, dreaming great festivals into reality, then these are the times of the Olympic Dream.
After reading this book you will never experience London in the same way again. Intriguing and insightful, this book presents London as a profoundly multi-layered experience, not only historically and mythically but also as an architectural vision. We may shape the land, but how much does the land shape us? Resident and visitor alike will be inspired and rewarded by a deeper understanding of an extraordinary city which appears - through human intervention and the subtle influence of spirit of place - to have a key role in these pivotal times.
- Celia M Gunn, author of A Twist in Coyote's Tale and Simply Totem Animals
The authors present a powerful and enchanting vision of London that is profoundly relevant for our times. Amid the tumult of a rapidly-changing world, this book provides a compelling and coherent imaginal map through which we might penetrate the mysteries of time and place, and better understand how this great capital has a part to play in human destiny.

In this powerful and emotive presentation, Celia Gunn shares her heart-warming story and the vital relevance of traditional Native American wisdom.
An enigmatic encounter with a Native American visionary drew Celia into the rebirth of his nation, a people falsely declared extinct by the Canadian government. As the Sinixt were called back to their ancestral lands, Celia walked a path few have followed: for six years her life was entwined with the great wisdom of the Native American way of life. The book about her experience, 'A Twist in Coyote's Tale' has been adapted into a film, 'The Sinix't: Bringing Home the Bones'.

A prophecy fulfilled
The extraordinary true story of how a Mother Tribe, falsely declared extinct by the Canadian government, was called home to their ancestral lands.
Based on English author Celia M Gunn's memoir, 'A Twist in Coyote's Tale', this award-winning docudrama traces the epic return of the Sinix't people to their homeland. Setting a historical precedent in Canada as the first Native American tribe to successfully repatriate ancestral remains, the Sinix't continue their ongoing struggle for official recognition of their right to exist to this day, while conducting the longest and most peaceful occupation of Crown Land in Canadian history. | | | Sinix't spiritual leader Bob Campbell with author Celia Gunn | SInixt ancestor c 1880 | The Sinix't: Bringing Home the Bones DVD

by Celia M Gunn
The tradition of spirit guides speaking to and assisting humans through animals, birds and other creatures can be found all over the world, and dates back to ancient times. Today, if we are open to watching and listening to our totem animals, we can develop beneficial relationships with them. We can also recognise that when a totem animal appears to us in a special way, it is offering insight into what is happening in our lives.
Celia learned about the tradition of totem animals directly from Native Americans, with whom she worked on cultural preservation for several years (see A Twist in Coyote's Tale). This inspiring and beautifully-illustrated book suggests ways to find, honour and work with your totems, and provides a rich list of creatures from all around the world and their unique meanings.

Drawn by the faint, meandering sound of a Native North American flute from deep in misty English woodland, Kathy, a young bank-clerk in a northern provincial town, discovers Joe, a middle-aged Navajo Indian with a life-hardened experience of failed marriages and addictions. Their unlikely meeting, challenging both age and culture, kindles an edgy yet mutual passion, entwined with the acting-out of a contemporary Arthurian drama set against a wild Northumbrian landscape of myth and legend, leading to fateful consequences for both their lives.

By Celia M Gunn
A Twist in Coyote’s Tale is the true account of a young Englishwoman who was drawn into the extraordinary renascence of a Native North American tribe. Fragmented and disinherited, and eventually deemed extinct by the Canadian government some thirty years earlier, the Arrow Lakes people began their long journey back to their roots and their identity as the Sinixt First Nation upon learning of the removal of ancestral remains from an ancient settlement in the beautiful Slocan Valley of British Columbia, Canada.
