HAMISH MILLER - 1927 - 2010

Megalithomania 2010 is dedicated to the memory of Hamish Miller, May 5, 1927 (Beltane) - January 25, 2010 (Imbolc). Hamish spoke at the 2008 conference about his cutting-edge research on 'The Stone People of New Zealand' and has attended other years just to see the talks - a true Megalithomaniac he was. After a near-death experience, Hamish learned to dowse and eventually tracked the St. Michael axis with Paul Broadhurst to discover the enigmatic Michael and Mary energy lines. This research produced the book, 'The Sun and the Serpent' , an earth mysteries classic that opened up the British past in an original and revolutionary way. He then spent ten years following the Apollo and Athena lines through Europe with Paul.

Since then he has authored several books, coauthored with Barry Brailsford about earth energies in New Zealand and set up the Parallel Community with his wife Ba, a community based on sharing and helping others, that is going from strength to strength. Hamish was a great inspiration to many Megalithomaniacs and his books will become a legacy. Thank you for your great work Hamish and buy John Michell a whisky up there from us at Megalithomania!
