ORIENTATION

sanctuary physical orientation: geographical, astronomical, cosmological

• [1] As directional guardians, the Dragon Kings or Serpent Guardians are oriented to the 4 sacred directions
  — defined by True North (North celestial pole) and True East (sunrise position at the Equinox).

• [2] As Axis Mundi, the vertical Serpent Pillar is by nature oriented to the Zenith
  — defined as the highest point in the sky, directly above a given location).

• [3] As birth canal, the Connector is oriented to the winter solstice sunrise
  — approx. 30deg south of True East, given the latitude of the site.

Reminiscent of the phenomenon at the ancient site of Newgrange (Ireland), the sunrise at winter solstice will illuminate the entrance of the Connector
(located on the host-rock ridge).
