Ley Lines
Ley lines were initially a mainly British interest, however ley research has now spread to most countries of the world - and beyond! The word "ley" derives from "lea", an area of open country.
The Giza pyramids, still a mystery to us Power Places are part of ancient mysteries! Our body knows and remembers these special places on earth, it longs for these times where the rational part was dormant, and people perceived energy directly.
Our journey begins more than five thousand years ago. At that time human beings were connected to nature, to the earth, the sky and the elements. They were able to see energy and knowledge was intuitive.
They knew that some places on earth have special, very powerful vibrations, places where feminine and masculine elements blend together to create an exceptional energy. They knew these power places were a kind of gate to higher realms, and that the high level of energy of these places was like food for their souls.
Power places' energy level varies according to the seasons, it culminates once or twice a year, depending on the alignment of the site with the sun, the moon or the stars. How our ancestors created these extremely precise alignments, working with heavy building elements is an ancient mystery. Stonehenge is aligned with the summer solstice sunrise, while the Temple of Solomon was aligned with the equinox sunrise. The King's chamber, in the big pyramid of Giza, is aligned with Orion. Stone henge, ideal place for rituals. When a power place is aligned with an equinox or solstice, sunrise or sunset, it means one of the sites' ley lines' direction is exactly to the point where the sun rises or sets on the horizon on that specific day and time. The ley line transmits energy and light from the sun or star to the power point and boosts its level of energy, creating a magic moment of bliss for visitors.
This is an ideal situation for sacred rituals, where the amazing energy can be canalized for healing, fertility or for connection with higher realms.
Our ancestors were hunters and gatherers, moving with the seasons. Earth was guiding their steps to the right places on the right time, to practice their sacred rituals and celebrate life.
When humans started settling, they became more connected to the power place that was close to their home. They started investing and building in their power places.
This is the time that our ancestors started to use straight lines and sacred geometry to enhance energy. Their architecture was aligned and in perfect harmony with the ley lines and the earth energy.
Every vibration or earth element in the sacred space was preplanned to enhance consciousness and energy levels. Avebury in England, Egyptian and Mayan temples and pyramids are beautiful examples of these ancient mysteries, which are still a mystery today.
Those were times where the architect was also doctor, astrologist, and geomancer. He was connected to life and knowledge. His architecture was holistic. Before building a house or temple, the domestic animals lived in the site for a year, and then their liver was checked to determine the energetic quality of the place.
What Are Ley Lines?
The concept of ley lines (although he didn't like that name) was first suggested by Alfred Watkins in 1921 then popularized by his 1925 book The Old Straight Track. Watkins noticed whilst out walking in Herefordshire that a number of significant places were in clear visual alignment. On studying detailed maps of the area he went on to find a number of other such lines on the landscape - what we now call ley lines.
Watkins was not the first to notice these remarkable alignments. He himself referred back to a paper by G.H.Piper which noted:
"A line drawn from the Skirrid-fawr mountain northwards to Arthur's Stone would pass over the camp and southern most point of Hatterill Hill, Oldcastle, Longtown Castle, and Urishay and Snodhill castles."
What Do Ley Lines Mean?
The existence of ley lines is undeniable. You can find your own simply by taking a detailed map of an area and marking points of significance. You will probably see quickly that there are very clear lines to be found - ancient sites often fitting on to a perfect straight line between natural features.
The lines certainly exist. What - if anything - they actually mean is a more difficult question.
Ley lines today have taken on a high degree of mystical, new age and sometimes paranormal significance. Some people even like to associate them with UFO phenomena and ley lines on other planets have been investigated. Remote dowsing has sometimes been used for this purpose.
Watkins himself considered ley lines to be simply an anthropological artifact. He theorized that ancient Britain had supported a network of travel routes. For ease of navigation, these were generally straight lines which went between clearly visible landmarks. As travelers used these routes, so other sites were naturally built along them - much as service stations are built along major roads today. The people who created these travel routes were called "dodmen".
The Mystical Significance of Ley Lines
The more mystical approach allocates to these lines some deeper significance or power. It is hypothesized that this power could be sensed - consciously or otherwise - by the mystics and seers responsible for selecting the ancient sites. An alternative mystic view is that the presence of the sites on the ley lines actually creates a power.
A system of ley lines which converge on one particular point - of which Glastonbury is a famous example - can thus be seen either as ancient builders recognizing a place of power or as a place gaining importance from the focus of lines of power.
What could that power be? Different people have different opinions, covering everything from fluctuations in the earth's magnetic field through to psychic resonance from alien UFO landings.
The Sceptical View
The Skeptics, of course, prefer to dismiss it all as coincidence. Whilst accepting that ley lines exist they argue that if you place enough points on a map then you will be bound to find some straight lines purely at random.
