This is no ordinary channelling book. Natasha Hoffman, an artist, healer and intuitive, with her companion Hamilton Hill, a dowser and organic garden designer, are people in tune with the earth and with the spirit.

They were moved to visit Carnac in north-western France and walk among the mysterious giant megaliths that abound in the area. What they found were ‘libraries’ in stone.

In communion with their spirit guides and angels they were most privileged to channel the wisdom that has been encoded into the very crystalline structure of these standing stones.

It was with resignation that I began to read this work, but my ‘Ho-hum’ quickly changed to an ‘Ah-ha’ when the structure of the messages became clear.

The book is divided into chapters with interludes between, accompanied by many black and white illustrations of the megaliths. The channellings deal with subjects pertaining to humanity’s spiritual origins and the necessity of our remaining connected to the natural world as well as to etheric realms.

The interludes are small commentaries and anecdotes by Natasha or Hamilton that explain how they came to be communicating with the stones and also how they recorded the material.

The entities channelling through the authors designate themselves as Archangels with responsibilities for the planet and planetary life. They describe the angelic hierarchies, elemental life, nature spirits and devas, clearly unfolding their roles and responsibilities.

They also outline the unseen energy structures that are in place in and around the planet. Examples would be places of extraordinary energy and ley lines.

The common spiritual underpinnings of all faith streams are also explained and what each master or teacher added to our wisdom and knowledge.

The style of the channelling is simple and straight to the heart of the matter. For those who can read and understand what is being transmitted, the message is clear. The Earth will be changing. Humanity itself will be changing. Preparation needs to be made to move from the present darkness by increasing our light and helping to restore the planet’s wellbeing. We are asked to accept that the planet is a living entity which depends upon the wellbeing of all of its inhabitants, animal, vegetable and mineral.

The tone of the messages is at once loving, compassionate and non-judgemental.

I cried at times when I was reading this material, but not tears of despair, but of hope. To read this book is to know that the Archangels, Angels, and Elementals exist, and exist to help us. We are being thrown a life-line. All we have to do is grab it.

Reading this book will be a profound experience for those who are concerned for the planet, for humanity in all its diversity, and for the future that we face together. The strength and authority of the messages is the exhortation to be connected to both the Earth and the higher realms. In the end it is always a question of balance. This is highly recommended reading for any genuine seeker.
