I also have lots more Megalithic / Archaeological / "Earth Mysteries" links here.
I know I'm a bit slow in updating these links so now you can Add your own
Link (Under test - not working at present)
The LeyHunter Journal
Now saddly defunct, but still the longest running "Earth Mysteries"
magazine by quite a long stretch. Their web site is still worth a visit.
Northern Earth Online
should appeal to all those with an inquiring interest in historical landscapes, folklore
and custom, the unexplained, ancient consciousness and spirituality or a 'Gaian' vision of
the Earth.
3rd Stone Another good read. Concentrates on Ancient Sites and new ideas in
archaeology.
Now merged with At the Edge , who
have kept their own huge web site of archived articles.
