Theories vary today as to what ley lines actually are, however, many suggest and or believe
that they cover the earth in a geometric pattern, are magnetic or electrical in nature and
resonate high levels of energy. They intersect around the earth to form triangles. The points
of intersection are called vortices and are said to have much higher energy levels than in
other areas. Scientific electromagnetic field mapping of today is beginning to show a
correlation between ancient ley line mapping and modern electromagnetic fields maps.
The theory of ley lines begins in 1922 with Alfred Watkins, a businessman, trader and
amateur archeologist as he was sitting on a hill in Herefordshire, England. He found himself
suddenly struck by the fact that sites of historical or spiritual significance, churches, burial
mounds and standing stones like Stonehenge were aligned in perfect straight lines. Probably
because he was a trader, he came to believe that these lines were evidence of prehistoric
trade routes. He then published his book called “The Old Straight Track”. Since the
publication of this book however, many more theories have been suggested. In fact, the idea
that earth is covered with lines of energy is not only found in Western Europe. In the
Aboriginal culture of Australia they are referred to as Song Lines, in Peru, they are called
Nasca lines. Earth’s energy lines are also important in the Chinese practice of Fung Shui. In
fact, there are found to be many alignments of old monuments, megaliths, and places of
historical significance throughout the world. Sacred temples of ancient world aroung the
Mediterranean are located at powerful vortices, and drawing lines between them will produce
patterns of triangles. The Indians in American Southwest as well as those in Peru and other
parts of South America located their cities and roads between them and on vortices and ley
lines. The location of Stonehenge and it’s relationship to the Great Pyramid, Glastonbury and
the myth of Avalon correlate to vortices, and there are many more.
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY AND LEY LINES:
Familiar with the term “Dead Straight”?
Some research has suggested that leys are evidence of paths of the dead and other spirits.
The existence of spirit paths is a belief that is held by many cultures around the world. In
Ireland, Fairy paths follow straight lines. It is believed that building houses on these paths will
bring bad luck. In the very harsh terrain of the Bolivian mountains where spirits are believed to
reside, paths follow straight lines despite the challenging landscape. In China, spirits were
believed to travel along straight lines. Straight lines were avoided at all costs unless decreed
otherwise by the emperor. In Britain, evidence of spirit paths is found in the ancient earthen
burial mounds that again, connect on straight lines.
There does appear to be some connection with these spirit paths and supernatural activity,
especially where a structure is built crossing one of these paths where experiences of
apparitions and paranormal activity have been reported.
UFOs and Ley Lines
In the 1950's UFO enthusiasts noticed that sightings of UFO’s occurred in straight lines. A
pilot and UFO enthusiast named Tony Wedd made a connection between the existence of leys
and UFO sightings in 1958. Today, multiple reports of sightings along ley lines and vortices in
such areas as Sedona, Hudson River Valley, Stonehenge, Bermuda Triangle, just to name a
few, are not uncommon and have become known as “hot spots”. For this type of activity.
Some suggest they are used for space and time travel as we use roads and highways, or as
navigational markers, others suggest possible refueling spots for these crafts in those areas
with an abundance of high energy.
Modern day dowsers claim to be able to locate dowsable links along leys between the
ancient monuments and megaliths and suggest the existence of complex webs of energy
under these sacred monuments, old roads, paths and churches etc.
Did the ancients have a better understanding of something that we may just now be coming
to understand or as other might believe, a very primitive understanding of our planet and it’s
place in the universe. We are now finding that they demonstrated advanced engineering,
mathematical and astrological knowledge. The fact that Stonehenge accurately plots the rise
and setting of the sun and moon as well as the equinoxes is now widely accepted. Evidence
that other civilizations were able to do the same also exists today and now leaves us to
speculate as to what other skills and knowledge they may have possessed. Did they have
knowledge and awareness of the grid of electromagnetic energy lines that blanket the earth?
The existence of ley lines and that they may be lines of increased mystic or psychic energy,
hot spots for UFO and paranormal activity such as spirit paths is controversial however, the
observed alignments is not. Both believers in ancient and magical theories of ley lines as well
as the skeptics of all of the above, agree that these alignments do, in fact, exist. The most
common skeptical view being that the alignments, though they exist, are all due to random
chance which then negates the need to explain them in any other way.
