Buffalo's Occult Architecture: The Spiritual, the Supernatural, and the Niagara's Great Builders

Architecture truly is a continuum. So many of the structures we see on our streets stretch thematic roots back to the temples, monuments, and "places of ancient sanctity" of humanity's earliest sacred expressions, and, like an ancient church, the best of them still have an indefinable grip over the imagination.

So much more than a collection of ghost stories, Buffalo's Occult Architecture, Volume 1, is a stunning analysis of some of the Niagara's grand builders and buildings from occult perspectives: sacred geometry, mystical interests, archaeoastronomy, "esoteric geology"-geomancy-First Nations- and world mysticism, and, yes, supernatural folklore.

Buffalo is a gallery for the great designers, and Buffalo's Occult Architecture presents a radical new aspect of its study.
