"LEY LINES",LINES OF POWER, AND "SACRED SITES" |
Leys (pronounced "lay") is the term used to indicate ancient straight lines that connect natural points of power in the earth. In his book "The Old Straight Track", Alfred Watkins(1855-1935), an early photographer and inventor of the pinhole camera, showed that a vast network of straight lines crisscrossed Britain and aligned large number of ancient "sites",earthworks,standing stones, and burial mounds. He also suggested that such "lines" existed in other parts of the world.
Many believe that the "leys" indicate the course of subtle earth energies. Where two or more "leys" cross is a "power point" that has,in the past, naturally drawn people to assemble or build structures such as standing stones,barrows,temples,and churches.One major "ley" runs from Glatstonbury Abbey in Somerset, through Stonehenge, and on to Canterbury Cathedral in Kent, which is more than 150 miles.Encyclopedia of Witchcraft,Wicca, and Neo-Paganism,p.301. |
