Spiritual Meaning of Rosslyn's Carvings

This guide is written by the original established external guide to Rosslyn Chapel. and is based on several years of experience garnered long before popular interest in Rosslyn intensified. The author extends her unique basic tour by giving more explicit information on several aspects, including the Reshel, a body of knowledge that was known to the ancients and utilized by an inner core of Templars here. The Reshel is based on the ancient Hebrew letters generally called 'proto-Sinaitic glyphs'. They appear to be encoded in the chapel carvings. In this light the stones can be regarded as manifestations of deep spiritual mysteries. The Reshel is dynamic and still active today. The guide is intended to deepen the reader's perspective on Rosslyn and its spiritual role. Exquisite hand drawings by retired academic and architect Andrew Gilmour greatly enhance the guide.
