Norway Trails 2008  
The Pentagram in the landscape of Southern Norway

This tour is a mixture of relaxation and stimulation, and offers spiritual sustenance.
This is a wonderful and truly unique opportunity to acquaint yourself with the detailed yet comprehensible work of Harald Boehlke who has unearthed the geometry of a sacred pentagram in the Norwegian landscape. His book The Viking Serpent ISBN 1-4120-9755-X reveals how a Celtic Church existed in Norway, forging close links with the early kings of Norway! These early Christians were the driving force behind a magnificent piece of surveying, establishing secret marker sites and towns from 935AD, all of which was part of more ancient traditions. Boehlke's discoveries overlap with a body of sacred knowledge known to your spiritual leader Jackie Queally. Jackie recognizes the ancient Celto - Hebraic wisdom knowledge links in well with the gigantic pentagram alignment Harald has found in Norway. Jackie has been leading tours within Scotland to spiritual sites for over eight years.Her colleague and organizer for this special tour is Ivor Henricksen, of Norwegian and Scottish stock. He has been running tours to Norway for several years.
