Alignments

Overview

Written from a clearly Christian perspective and supported by rigorous analysis, this book challenges, with verifiable data, the modern belief that the spiritual is disconnected from the material world.

It may interest a wide range of readers, including those who:

• Look for a thoughtful meeting point between scientific inquiry and Christian faith.
• Are intrigued by the possibility that extraordinary patterns might be reflected in the geography of the Earth.
• Enjoy discovering the history, symbolism, and uniqueness of remarkable places worth visiting.
• Appreciate geographic curiosities, long-distance alignments, and unexpected connections across landscapes.
• Value works rooted in a Christian perspective that present their findings without forcing conclusions, inviting the reader to reflect freely.

Since the earliest ages, human beings have raised megaliths, shrines, and temples in places where they sensed a particularly intense manifestation of the transcendent. Across cultures separated by vast distances and centuries, such places have been recognized as liminal spaces: sites where the spiritual and the earthly seem to touch, hinting at a mystery that exceeds purely rational explanation.

Among these sites stands a remarkable alignment: seven sanctuaries dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel, stretching in a perfectly straight line from Ireland to the Holy Land — over 4,000 kilometers in length. This is the so-called “Sword of Saint Michael.” Coincidence… or the trace of a will acting through history?

Alignments – Unravelling the Geography of Mystery begins with this enigma and extends the investigation to other geographic alignments linking singular places: sites of pilgrimage, locations of miracles, biblical and historical landmarks, and landscapes charged with symbolism, legend, or natural beauty. Through an innovative geographic method developed over years of work, the author identifies previously unknown alignments connecting Christian sanctuaries such as Fátima, Guadalupe, and Mont-Saint-Michel with places marked by Eucharistic miracles and other spiritually significant points across the world.

The results, supported by rigorous statistical analysis, suggest the presence of a deep order woven into the geography itself: an invisible thread binding space, history, and the spiritual. While many works discuss these themes under labels such as ley lines, sacred geography, earth mysteries, or geomancy, this book offers something distinct: a defined Catholic perspective, a more demanding methodology, and alignments of extraordinary extent and precision.

The first part examines the Sword of Saint Michael in detail, introduces the geographic and cartographic foundations of the method, presents a second alignment closely linked to the Virgin Mary, and summarizes the statistical analysis employed. The second part expands the study with longer and more precise alignments, while the third concludes with a reflection on the possible spiritual meaning of these lines within the world’s sacred landscape.

It can be read as a travel companion to remarkable places, as an investigation into the mysterious, or as an essay on the relationship between science and faith. Above all, it is an invitation to rediscover wonder and to perceive the trace of Mystery in the unfolding of the Earth.
