Having begun on Chapter 3, and researching the St Michael alignment (again, after several years), I found these heartening words for Ishmael:

Setting out long distance alignments are not so difficu ...

Final words on Zion -- I found the "waymarker" reference via Strong's concordance. It's to a possibly related word TSEYUN, with a basic meaning "something conspicuous". According ...

They're both in the Hebrew Bible;

I've used the search facilities of five different on-line resources providing full access to the Domesday Book, and none of them can find a record for Marazion. Looks like Wikipedia is wrong, and all ...
