Therefore, it may not necessarily imply a great deal that you can draw these lines—at least in the south of England as he did. Recognising that the contours of old trails would inevitably change over the centuries, Watkins regarded the Hergest Ridge section of the Offas Dyke trail to be an exceptionally well-preserved part of a ley line. The ridge runs remarkably straight in many places as it traverses through the surrounding countryside. Is all that weird piled up in one place because of ley lines? I dunno, could just as easily be because of the legends immigrants brought with them and the area is kind of conducive to telling spooky stories. Watkins referred to these lines as "leys" although had reservations about doing so. [11] The term ley derived from the Old English term for a cleared space, with Watkins adopting it for his lines because he found it to be part of the place-names of various settlements that were along the lines he traced. [12] He also observed the recurrence of "cole" and "dod" in English place-names, thus suggesting that the individuals who established these lines were referred to as a "coleman" or " dodman". [6] He proposed that the Long Man of Wilmington chalk geoglyph in Sussex was a depiction of such an individual with their measuring equipment. [7] Watkins believed that the Long Man of Wilmington in Sussex depicted a prehistoric " dodman" with his equipment for determining a ley line. some people remembered what had happened here and cared enough about it to commemorate the spot. Perhaps the secret society that created the omphalos is still around to guard it. In fact, as you follow the ley line from the omphalos south to the river, you notice that almost the entire stretch is undeveloped: parks, gardens, football pitches.

Much doubt has been cast on the idea over the years, for a variety of reasons. Doubt Cast Over Ley Line Theories Williamson, Tom; Bellamy, Liz (1983). Ley Lines in Question. Tadworth: World's Work. ISBN 978-0-43719-205-9. The Malvern Hills in the United Kingdom, said by Alfred Watkins to have a ley line passing along their ridge Obviously, if you have decided to redifine ley lines in a way that the above is no longer the case, then you're not talking about what other people are talking about when they use the phrase "ley lines." He derived the term ‘ley’ from an Anglo-Saxon word meaning a clearing out of a wooden space, as many places in the area had the word ley in the name.Radford, Benjamin. "The Lore and Lure of Ley Lines." Live Science. Nov. 19, 2013. (Jan. 14, 2015) http://www.livescience.com/41349-ley-lines.html This resurgence in popularity was arguably linked to authors like John Michell, who expanded upon Watkins’s theory. In his 1969 book View Over Atlantis, Michell argued that what little we know about the ancient geometry of the ley lines and the astrological alignments of ancient standing stones reflected knowledge that was as lost as the legendary city of Atlantis.

Yes, I know, it’s that vague New Age term energybut ask an experienced dowser to show you how it’s detected in the field and you’ll at least see a demonstration of something there. An experienced dowser might be sort that the geology, oil, water, and gas companies employ for locating fresh resources (butdon’t like to admit that they do). For example, structures which are considered haunted are often said to be much more active, even dangerous, when along a ley line. Again, ideas such as this originated much later than Watkins’ original book, but are certainly the overall perception of the phenomenon today. As a result, when you connect these points with the world grid, ley lines map. When you identify each global location, you get the icosahedron symbol. This intricate geometric shape cannot be a coincidence. Mark stones (used for navigational purposes) and standing stones (used for rituals and other ceremonies) are also found across the Herefordshire countryside. Watkins believed that mark stones like the “whetstone” found at Hergest Ridge or the stone found in the corner of an old house in the village of Pembridge marked important places of trade, and also fell into ley alignment.Williamson and Bellamy's book brought two different responses from the ley hunter community. [41] Some maintained that even if the presence of earth energies running through ley lines could not be demonstrated with empirical evidence and rational argumentation, this did not matter; for them, a belief in ley lines was an act of faith, and in their view archaeologists were too narrow-minded to comprehend this reality. [41] The other approach was to further engage archaeologists by seeking out new data and arguments to bolster their beliefs in ley lines. [41] Hutton noted that this pulled along "a potential fissure between rationalism and mysticism which had always been inherent in the movement". [41] Our bodies contain the essence of these intricate patterns. Perhaps that is why ley lines and vibrational geometry draw our attention. After all, we are part of the planet Earth. References
