SITES OF POWER
THE POWER OF MEDITATION

Churches and sites of pilgrimage have always been built on sites of power. The ancient builders integrated the geomancy and the existing earth energies into their church architecture. The aim was to harmonise energy inside the church to support the meditation and energy charge of the churchgoers during church services and prayer.

Today these energies are mostly sought using divining rods or pendulums.

The project “The Power of the Pilgrimage Sites” includes the geomantic claim of eight churches north of Freistadt in Upper Austria. For this project, research must be undertaken to establish that the churches and sites of pilgrimage were constructed by the ancient builders in accordance with geomantic energies.

A quite definite energy situation was highlighted for each church. Information was mounted on columns for the churchgoers.

The project initiator is the “Future forum of Freiwald”, the platform for the communities of Grünbach bei Freistadt, Leopoldschlag, Rainbach im Mühlkreis, Sandl, St. Oswald bei Freistadt and Windhaag bei Freistadt. On behalf of South Bohemia the project “Poutní místa na Malši/Pilgrimage sites on the Maltsch” is supervised by the town of Kaplice.

The project is being financially supported by the European Community, the South Bohemian district and the state of Upper Austria.
