You ever get one of those flurries of synchronicity? This is the third time
in less than 48 hours that I have read about ley lines, which I'd never
heard of before. I'm including a definition below in case anyone is
wondering...
"Briefly, the idea, first propounded by Alfred Watkins,
a Herefordshire amateur archaeologist in the
early 1920's, holds that the early inhabitants of
Britain deliberately placed mounds, camps and
standing stones across the landscape in straight
lines. As time went by later structures were added to
these sites. Some Roman roads followed the leys,
Christian churches were built on what had been ley
markers in order to take advantage of the age and
sanctity already attached to them, and the keeps of
mediaeval castles were sited on mounds that had
marked leys millennia before. As a result it is still
possible to trace these alignments on maps."
