All of my sacred site photos have been taken whilst doing sacred site work with the Gaiamethod, a system of working with 'Gaia', the earth/Goddess, so carry the energy of the site where they have been taken. I 'play' with many of the images so that they emit a certain frequency, stimulating your own creativity. The majority of the photos are nature-focussed, as that is my work! I hope you enjoy them.
