	EARTH MYSTERIES: Ley Lines
		A ley may be identified simply by an aligned placing of marker sites, or it might be visible on the ground for all or part of its length by the remnants of an old straight track.
		Ley Lines were 're-discovered' on 30 June 1921 by Alfred Watkins (1855-1935), a locally well-known and respected Herefordshire businessman, who while looking at a map for features of interest noticed a straight line that passed over hill tops through various points of interest, all of which were ancient.
		He went on to associate ley lines with the Greek god Hermes (the Roman Mercury, the Norse Woden) who was the god of communication and of boundaries, the winged messenger, and the guide to travellers on unknown paths.

		Ley Lines were 're-discovered' on 30 June 1921 by Alfred Watkins (1855-1935), a locally well-known and respected Herefordshire businessman, who while looking at a map for features of interest noticed a straight line that passed over hill tops through various points of interest, all of which were ancient.
		First, lines were delineated by cleared hilltop notches (ley), then woodland through which the ley line passed was cleared (lay), and then the fields which domesticated the landscape were cleared (lee) with the names ley, lay, and lee applying to each stage of ley landscape development.
		Ley lines were also used in the game Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon, where a mad recluse and the Knights Templar try to gain power by standing at a convergance of ley lines, at the moment their power peaked and would surge through the Earth, into the person being there at that precise time.

	Ley Lines
		Ley lines are generally recognized as being a man-made phenomena, occuring where sacred stones, old building or long lost pathways once were.
		Some Ley lines may even be charged by the flow of water over certain rock formations especially where quartz or and calcite crystal masses are found.
		Ley Lines should not be confused with Earth energy lines, which act like meridians carrying universal life force energy to sustain the planet.

	The St. Michael's Line of Dartmoor
		Ley lines and energy paths initially seemed to me as a fanciful notion but having read several books on the subject there appears to be an awful lot of either coincidences or truths.
		According to them the line appropriately enters Dartmoor at Brentor and the church of St. Michael's, it then tracks north-west to Lydford where it was intersected by a 'fl line' at Lydford Castle.
		This line is not so convincing because in the case of Throwleigh the church was not dedicated to Mary until 1846 and Gidleigh church is dedicated to St. Peter.

	Ley Lines and Computing
		Watkins hypothesized that ley lines were the sighting points for a vast network of "straight tracks" that covered prehistoric England, and his book includes several crossroads used as ley points and instances of dirt pathways uncovered in the course of sewer excavation (Watkins 1948:38-39).
		Ley Statistics Watkins was the first (1925) to attempt answering the question of whether ley lines of significant size could arise by chance (Watkins 1948:203-204).
		In many cases, the number of ley lines with "n" points is approximately 1/10 (between 1/5 and 1/15) the number of ley lines with "n-1" points, at least to order of magnitude.

		Ley lines, also known as "leys" and "dragon lines" are phenomena most people have heard of but few really understand.
		From what we do know, a ley line seems to be a straight line that carries an altered form of the earth's magnetic field, however it is proving difficult to define that power even to this day.

		With ponds dug on the line, or streams banked up into 'flashes' to form reflecting points on the beacon track so that it might be checked when at least once a year the beacon was fired on the traditional day.
		Watkins surmised that these straight tracks, or "ley lines" as he called them at first, were the remnants of prehistoric trading routes.
		The identification of leys as ancient traders' routes was as far as Watkins was prepared to go, despite the fact that numerous ley lines travelled up prohibitively steep hillsides.

		Speculation on possible a connection between leys and "earth energy" suggests that it may be an energy not understood by twenty first century man, but utilised in prehistory for purposes long forgotten or only ever vaguely hinted at in surviving folklore of the sites involved.
