Anthony Thorley

Anthony Thorley is a retired consultant psychiatrist and medical policy administrator who has been researching landscape energies, myths and historical traditions for over thirty years. In 2006 he graduated with an MA in Cultural Astrology and Astronomy at Bath Spa University and he is slowly completing a book, ‘Sacred City, Secret City’ on the Masonic vision of the development of the eighteenth-century British city, Bath. He has recently commenced a PhD at the University of Wales, on the conceptual basis of landscape zodiacs as sacred space. Together with his wife Celia Gunn, he has developed a particular interest in pilgrimage and ritual journeys which honour ancestral traditions in the sacred landscape and revitalise our relationship with the wider environment. For the last three years he has been running experiential workshops with astrologer, John Wadsworth, exploring an annual ritual journey round the signs of the Zodiac centred in the Glastonbury Landscape Zodiac in Somerset, UK.
