Hi All,
I have been thinking about the possibility that ley lines may have a scientific explanation. They almost always occur close to water, and the ancients built stone circles close to them. In later times, crossroads, churches and cemeteries grew up in these places. I have heard that they even occur in the sea.
What I would like to know is: what could be the reason for ley lines, and did our ancient ancestors know something we don't? Could there be a scientific explanation for them?
Love,
Patsy.

RE: Science and Ley Lines
I'm very interested in ley lines at the moment, I'm thinking about studying their effects on horses for my psychology project.
When you say scientific reasons for ley lines do you mean something like they could be linked to certain geological areas or line up as fractures and fissures in the earths crust? Its a very interesting question and one which I think I may ponder over this afternoon!
I'll be following this thread with great curiosity 😀
RE: Science and Ley Lines
Hi Jenny,
Thanks for your interest. Yes, I wonder if ley lines are linked to geological fault systems, or underground fissures, etc. I am a trained geologist, and am interested in all aspects of the Earth, both psychically and scientifically. I am a bit closer to believing that ghosts can be explained scientifically using Quantum Theory, and I would like to discover if the same could be applied to ley lines.
Yes, animals do sense leys, as our ancient ancestors did. It is interesting ot note that most ghost sightings occur at geolgical faults, so this may explain some ghostly sightings.
Intriguing.
Love,
Patsy.

Hi songstress
Leylines have been of great interest to me for a number of years. Shortage of time forces a very brief reply for the time being but I would say, in answer to your question:
... did our ancient ancestors know something we don't? Could there be a scientific explanation for them?
Yes, most definitely, and I would say that this has a lot to do with what we now call our "sixth sense", undeveloped in a large number of the population (many HPers excepted!). I bought my last house on pure "intuition" and later discovered that it was built on the convergence of 5 leylines, one a well documented and major one. I believe that the ancient peoples built their pagan places of worship based on this "sixth sense", later of course the early Christians took them over to build churches.
A scientific explanation? Well, I'm no scientist, so I will be interested to find out more about this aspect. In the meantime, I did a quick Google, and from the many sites about leylines, chose this one:

From which I took this tiny excerpt of the words of Paul Devereux:
"For 20 years I edited the only journal in the world devoted solely to leys, THE LEY HUNTER, and I think I have come to know the subject more intimately and in more detail than anyone else alive."
Bookmarked for me to return to, as is this thread! 🙂
