These twelve figures of the landscape zodiac reflect the divine pattern both geometrically and cosmically. They are contained within a circle of diameter 1/phi x 2⁶ or approximately 40 km. Their physical size is far too great for them to have been created using even modern day material or manual methods. Rather, the earth itself was moulded into their shapes at a sub-material level by using the tool of consciousness, the creative element of the divine source. When consciousness is brought into harmony with the ordered development of the divine, through music, art, literature, pilgrimage ,etc, it’s full creative potential manifests itself. Thus the reason for the twelve-fold imagery associated with the disciples of Jesus, the twelve tribes of Israel, the twelve knights of King Arthur, the twelve monks that founded the abbeys at Clairvaux and Pontigny and the reason for walking labyrinths.

The landscape zodiacs were constructed using a knowledge which could be called ‘Atlantean knowledge,’ which enters into our awareness at the times when the equinoxes are in line on the axis Aquarius/Leo, which is the time period into which the earth is now entering. This alignment last occurred during the Age of Leo, which if Plato was correct corresponds with the Age of Atlantis.

The two seal of Solomon patterns that contain the Auxerre and Vezelay landscape zodiacs fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Each of these patterns has a length of 1/phi x 2⁶ Km .

Whereas the Auxerre and Vezelay seal of Solomon patterns link together, the positions of other major religious buildings, for example Orleans cathedral, don’t fit exactly into a continuation of the same grid of Seals of Solomon.

Presuming that Orleans cathedral is either at the centre or very close to the centre of its own seal of Solomon pattern, the same as Auxerre and Vezelay, then there is an overlap of the Seals of Solomon. The larger seal of Solomon pattern extending from Orleans to Puy-de-Dome (Fig 20), is divided into 32 smaller equilateral triangles (c). This grid of smaller equilateral triangles is the basic unchanging framework. The Seals of Solomon (length b) which contain the landscape zodiacs are contained within this pattern and do sometimes overlap.
