It wasn’t until author John Gibson-Forty received a telephone call in 1999 from a professional French Horn player who had performed with several renowned orchestras, that he had even heard of the Celtic phenomenon known as the Three Perpetual Choirs of Britain. Believed to comprise 2,400 monks, druids or saints, the Choirs’ role was to chant perpetually on a rolling rota basis, a hundred at a time, night and day, in order to maintain the ongoing enchantment of Britain. More than ten years of research followed, including three and a half years of dowsing the entire Decagon (a 10-sided, 10-pointed figure), not as it is today but as it was 2,000 years ago.Saturday May 22, Two-part Water Divining Workshop - Peter Golding
