In 1921, Alfred Watkins
developed the concept of ley lines. He believed that ley lines are
straight, electromagnetic paths that connect to ancient sacred sites
around the world. They can't be seen on a map like longitude and
latitude, but these lines are the foundational organization of the
earth's energetic grid.
He showed that the lines describe the paths that Neolithic Britons
traveled to navigate between land marks; these included identifiers
like standing stones and small mountains. He referred to astronomy
texts, citing the belief that ancient pathways were oriented to sunrise
and sunset at solstices.
The ancients were said to have marked these lines with stone
monuments and pagan temple. Ancient cultures placed occult temples as
well as shrines along these lines to mark them. It is believed that
these lines demarcate "earth energies" and resonance networks.
Ley lines are believed by many people to be a series of metaphysical connections composed of the earth's natural energies. Benjamin Radford at
Live Science researches and archives ley lines and places of high
energy and tries to find a global network interconnecting local ley
lines to a big energy net.
The native Indians of the United States used to call ley lines, "spirit lines" and their Shaman used to use the electro-magnetic energy in these lines
to help them contact the spirits. They even designed their medicine
wheel on the spirit lines, as they knew that these lines followed a
straight round line.
Watkins's book 'The Old Straight Track'
brought the alignments to the attention of the wider public as part of
the supernatural lines that connect the universe and carry along with
them rivers of supernatural energy. Along these lines, at the places
they intersect, there are pockets of concentrated energy, that can be
harnessed by certain individuals.
The lines are actually curved
to follow the curve of the Earth's surface (to be more accurate). The
energy is said to extend 30 miles each side of a ley line. According to
the Earth Mysteries movement,
ley lines are used to guide alien spaceships when they come to earth.
Also, some thought Ley lines to have positive and negative polarities.
But there is likely that there are changing celestial force that
energize ley lines as in Astro-cartography.
All Ley Lines meet at intersecting points, forming a matrix of high energy spots or a grid across the body of the planet. The 'Planetary Grid'
hypothesis is a more modern concept which suggests that the Earth is
surrounded by an invisible network of energy, carried around the globe
by a kind of 'geometric highway'.
These grid
points, according to proponents, are the strongest "power spots" on
Earth. Apparently many of our ancestors thought so too, since sacred
sites such as henges, mounds, megaliths, pyramids, famous energy
vortexes, and even cathedrals as well as many of the world’s other most renowned sites
sit atop Ley Line meeting points.
Machu Picchu, the Pyramids of Giza,
Easter Island, Puma Punku, Lhasa Tibet, the ancient ruins of Mohenjo
Daro, Findhorn in Scotland, the Bermuda Triangle, the Arizona vortices,
Angkor Wat, the Nazca Lines, numerous obelisks, and sacred domed
structures around the globe all attest to the very real possibility that
something beyond the visible world is involved here.
Ley lines are related to the electro-magnetic fields of the earth.
These Ley lines may also be related to geological fault lines in the earth's
tectonic plates. Through the cracks in the earth's tectonic plates the
magnetic energy released are very powerful.There is apparently even evidence to connect them with the UFO phenomenon.
There is considerable evidence that very ancient civilizations were more aware of Lei Lines than recent civilizations. In fact there is a distinct world wide pattern
of antique temples, pyramids, and oblisks that suggest an intelligent
energy pattern that somehow integrates with an invisible universal grid. |
