xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As from the NEXT ISSUE of the Journal of Geomancy (Volume 3 No. 1), the format and method of
printing of the Journal will be altered to A5 (from A4) and from stencil-printed with litho. inserts to a fully litho.
printed form. This means that the Journal will be more legible, fewer typographical errors, and will enable us
to bring you a better looking production with more illustrations and photographs. Type size will be reduced, giving us
more type per page than the present Journal which is limited by the technical method of production we use at present.
The subscription will, of course, remain the same, unchanged as it has been since 1976 – a record, we believe, in
these times of inflation, devaluation and monetary chaos.

Peter Hill, of Address, Derby Postcode, would like to hear from anybody who has any information
on the stone rows or alinements of Dartmoor, or who has carried out any dowsing research on that Moor.

The editor’s book The Mysteries of King’s College Chapel has just been republished by Thorsons
Publishing at £2·75, and should be on sale at your local bookshop. The I.G.R. is not handling sales of the
book, so if you want a copy (essential reading!) please order it from your usual supplier (ISBN
0 7225 0466 7).

The I.G.R. has recently received several enquiries about two Cambridge geomantic-linked publishers who are now BOTH OUT
OF BUSINESS: Cokaygne (who published Arcana magazine) and Newton & Denny (who intended to publish the
Watkins book Archaic Tracks Round Cambridge). Please note: NEITHER COMPANY EXISTS ANY LONGER, so it is no
good writing to them (or sending money!)

Work now being undertaken on the Cambridge 7-church ley (by Nigel Pennick & Michael Behrend) has revealed a number of important features, but the strangest of all is the fact that the house of no less a person than Glyn ‘Lunatic fringe dotties at random’ Daniel is built … yes! On the Cambridge 7-church ley. This and other fascinating truths will be revealed as an ‘ongoing scenario situation’ in a future publication. This ley promises to be the most intricately worked-on to date, and will be fully documented with maps, photographs and drawings of the utmost accuracy. Individual features of buildings can now be shown to be determined by the ley line’s passage, something which is difficult to do on very long alinements. .
