  Ley lines   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Leys are supposed to be alignments that stretch across the landscape (generally that of Great Britain, although other places are said to possess them), thought to have been established in the distant past by prehistoric people.
Most ley lines are identified simply by an aligned placing of marker sites, but some are supposed to be marked by straight tracks along part of their alignment.
However, Crawford’s reasons were straightforward: for ley lines to be acceptable to the archaeological community as prehistoric trackways, Watkins would need to demonstrate that either the alignments could be shown to be genuinely ancient by archaeological means or that the markers along their lengths were similarly ancient.

 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.

 Postive Spiritual Growth Guidance - 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 line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Such skeptics tend to doubt that ley lines were planned or made by ancient cultures, and argue that apparent ley lines can be readily explained without resorting to extraordinary or pseudoscientific ideas.
Ley lines could be seen to be discussed in Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum, when the novel weaves telluric currents into the narrative and talks of ancient sacred sites as being transmitters or receivers of this energy.
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 part 2: Earth Mysteries   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Leys have attracted attention not just from New Agers but also from the general public, many of whom have come to accept these invisible lines as real and as a result, they now form part of contemporary popular culture.
Once again, the ley lines=earth energies hypothesis is essentially a faith-based system, dependent on believers’ acceptance of pronouncements by the leaders, the psychics or ‘sensitives’ who are spiritually advanced enough to be aware of the energies.
Ley lines, then, were a bad enough idea when Alfred Watkins first suggested that they were Neolithic trackways.

 The State of The Art International Tattoo Convention - Derby UK
The term ley (or ley line, as is often used) was originally coined by Alfred Watkins of Hereford in the 1920s to describe his perceived straight alignments of ancient sites across country.
By the 1970s self-styled dowsers or water diviners had seized the nettle and were claiming that leys could be dowsed on the ground (and on the map!) and that ancient prehistoric sites were places of power situated at node points on a great global grid of spiritual energy.
Leys, old straight tracks and "terrain oblivious lines" or whatever you want to call them, reveal a deep mystery lodged as much in the human psyche as in the landscape.

 Leylines
Lines, solitary and in groups, in the form of desert markings or long rows of small stone heaps, have been seen at other places in the Andean region, at least as far south as the Atacama Desert in Chile.
To them, the original nature of the straight landscape line appears to have been symbolic of spirit travel, of journeying in the otherworld of spirits, of the ancestors, which in shamanic terms was simply another level or dimension of the physical landscape.
The shamanic straight lines in many societies developed from direct associations with the spirit flight of shamans and lines of spiritual power, to lines associated with the dead, as the shaman was considered temporarily dead while in trance, and the spirit world was inhabited by the ghosts of the ancestors.

 Ley Lines   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Despite the number of ley lines that 'traveled up prohibitively steep hillsides', Watkins was only prepared to associate the identification of leys with ancient traders' routes.
Since then, ley lines have been associated with UFO sightings, they have been thought to follow cosmic lines of energy in the earth, and some people believe that they can be detected by a method called dowsing, which is done using dowsing rods.
By 1974, Geomancy, ley lines and any other esoteric earth related subjects were now collectively referred to under the term of Earth Mysteries.

Ley lines are a fact, but we mustn't forget the telluric fields (Hartmann, Curry...) which are intelligently used in ancient churches, the water-veins which are quite systematically present under churches - and at peculiar depths.
Ley lines are made by man and are added after the creation of the building.

 The Life Force of Sacred Sites : Shirley MacLaine
Our ancestors knew that ley lines, earth grids and vortexes were energy sources and centers that were to be considered holy.
These scientific acknowledgments include: unexplainable biochemical changes that occur when a person is at one of these centers and the fact that the energy centers and paths are all heavily charged with negative ions, even in the most arid climate conditions.
The power and strength of a ley line, earth grid or vortex can only be determined on an individualistic basis by the physical body utilizing the spirit as the conductor and the mind as the translator.

The same four lines of prose were fervently intoned with a reverence inspired by the partial materialisation of the imagery actually symbolised.
From the frequency with which Cole (or cold), Dod (or tot) and Black occurred in place names or leys, he built up a theory that these words referred to the Coleman, Dodman and Blackmen, who were the prehistoric surveyors, laying down the leys with their two sighting rods.
This magnetic force-field surrounding the earth is thus comprised of a grid of lines linking these feminine world navels, or planetary chakras, and a lesser secondary network of lines of masculine forces, directing the energy of human activity towards such power places.

He has also amassed quite a list of credits by pumping out several projects (sometimes five or six) in the same year.
"Ley Lines" (1999) combines the brutal gangster action of "Shinjuku" with the bittersweet emotional tone of "Rainy Dog." Ryuichi, Shunrei, and Chan are three young men of Chinese descent who have a hard time finding their place in Japan, despite living there their entire lives.
In "Shinjuku Triad Society", a woman gets her eye plucked out in similar fashion to the eye pluckings in both volumes of "Kill Bill." I won't ruin the ending of "Rainy Dog" for you, but it is reminiscent of the scene between The Bride and Vernita Green's daughter.

Alternate lines are usually positively and negatively charged, so where the lines intersect it is possible to have double positive charges and double negative charges, or one positive and one negative charge.
Ley lines are generally recognised as man-made phenomena, occuring where "sacred stones", which have somehow been charged energetically, are laid in a straight line.
