Are there certain places upon the earth


Is there a spiritual geography? Are there certain places upon the earth, which are more or less, attuned to certain modes of consciousness? And if so, do such qualities belong to the earth itself, to certain qualities of light, or sound, or scent, and elemental spirits who inhabit such places, or kinds of place? Or do people of a certain cast of mind import to the land their own qualities?
