摘要
The English writer John Michell (1933-2009) occupied a significant position within British alternative religion. Michell's manifold books revolve around his life-long aim to re-enchant the English landscape and launch a new golden age. Michell was a devoted Traditionalist and is widely considered the founding father of the vast field of British Earth Mysteries. Associated groups embrace speculative theories of the earth, claim-ing the existence of telluric (dragon) energies. As Michell's impact on such groups is widely acknowledged, within the context of Earth Mysteries, this article centers on cerealogy and the Dragon Environmental Network as examples in exploring Michell's discursive and enduring influence.
