This book is dedicated to those researchers devoted to the understanding and
preservation of traditional holy sites around the world. In particular I would like to thank
Katy Jordan and Alison Maloney for their kindness and for providing information to me
that I would not otherwise have found. In addition the research of Richard Pederick,
Mara Freeman, Stephen Buckly, Graham Jones, Patrick Logan, Dr. Madelein Gray and
innumerable others continues to enrich our knowledge and understanding of ancient
traditions, religion, history and legends. Most importantly, they have unveiled even more
mystery which waits for our understanding.
This book is for my parents, Robert and Edith Varner, and for Ellen Lissard, a good
friend and a true inspiration.
