Wholesale Mysteries of the Round Towers by Christopher Freeland

[Inner Traditions] An investigation of the round towers of Ireland and Scotland • Reveals how the round towers were built over the crossing of underground waterways and with every stone in magnetic polarity alignment • Explains how the siting and magnetic properties of the towers energetically enhances the surrounding environment, akin to feng shui and vastu • Presents a guide to the energetic principles behind the creation and purpose of the round towers In Ireland, and to a lesser extent Scotland, in seemingly unconnected locations, there are more than 60 enigmatic round towers, often 90 feet tall or higher and nearly uniform in their construction. Believed to have been built between the 7th and 10th centuries CE, the Roman Catholic Church long ago laid claim to them. Yet who built them—and why—is completely unknown, and even their date of construction is debatable. Presenting a professional dowser’s radiesthetic and magnetic analysis of the round towers of Ireland, Christopher Freeland examines previously unexplored yet fundamental facts common to all of the round towers, including geographic orientation, connections to underground waterways, historical records, and the magnetic polarity of the stones themselves. Explaining the basics of radiesthesia, the energetic science of dowsing, the author shows how the locations of the towers have far-reaching ramifications for the health of humans, animals, and plants in their surrounding areas. His in-person examinations reveal how systematic magnetic orientation of the stones in these towers’ walls, the unusual construction techniques of the unknown architects, and the resulting access to Earth’s telluric forces further enhance their energetic effects. He explores the types of stone used, speculates how many towers once existed, and firmly debunks the assertion that they were built by the Church. Offering a guide to the creation and purpose of the round towers, Freeland shows that we can once again embrace the ancient wisdom of our ancestors about the flow of energy in the Earth and bring back balance and harmony through understanding Nature’s alchemy of stone, water, and magnetism.
