For me Genius Loci is an overwhelming sensation of ‘oneness’at special places that have absorbed the energies of the people who have worshipped/loved/ died etc at that spot over many hundreds if not thousands of years.eg. churches or standing stones. This place must have already exuded a special ‘earth spirit’, which is why the ancestors were drawn there originally.However i have been told that if you are not a ‘sensitive’ you could be in the most haunted spot in the world and be oblivious to anything. Thankfully i do not fall into that category!!!
