How they found out or were taught this...is another story...shrouded in worldwide myth, the esoteric, and other influences. This ‘knowing’ however had been co-joined with the skills learned in the advanced very early civilizations that grew out of a knowledge and study influenced by the Cosmos and its’ regularity and order.
The linkage (and use) of the two understandings...from sources we need to look at which can still tell us of a lost endless Age, was not a trite or superstitious undertaking or even merely practical. It worked, and it worked wonderfully and practically...as well as mystically. It was not just a simple order extracted for common utility by accurately bringing down the Cosmic standards.
Ancient Man found that the application of the ley line knowledge (the designated paths of energy already built into the Earth’s own natural geography and currents) coupled with the knowledge of measuring, angles, degrees, and numbers, could be used together...for both finding the most favorable places to carry out human activities and then precise building...and it had magic.
Even the early decades of the twentieth century refused and repressed scientific interest in the possibility of any such notion as a ‘straight magnetic line tracts’, much less the idea that they crisscrossed the entire planet.
The suggestion was that such ‘things’, being more of an occult or poetic field interest, were not a fit subject for science. They didn’t fit into a known body of things already established, therefore they were outside science. It took the private interest of dedicated adventurers and explorers to expose the fallacy of the scientific community not to take tales of their existence seriously. What’s new? The more bitter embarrassment was the attributing to ‘primitive’ Man the faculties of greater knowledge and use of ‘the lines’; a time before science. After all ‘modern Man’ was the epitome of evolution and culture.
The efforts of men like Alfred Watkins (and his followers in ‘The Old Straight Line Tract Club), Major H. Tyler, J. Foster Forbes, the German geographer Dr. Heinsch, Bishop Browne, the Australian Colin McCarthy, J. D. Evans-Wentz, and a string of ardent supporters, cast the necessary light on...what was indubitably...a phenomenon. It was one, not uncommonly, completely missed by an orthodoxy entrenched in the standards of their own mirror.
It turns out (dramatically) that ‘Ley Lines’ also were strictly aligned from each prehistoric construction to others...miles away, forming a complete dead straight zeroing in...even across mountain peaks and the most difficult of terrain. Little wonder that all this was lost by successive planners and road builders which took the easy and practical way out for their own constructions. The ‘lines’ can be shown forming whole networks of ‘dead on straight lines’ which extended over the entire country. Intuition, vision, hard practical work, measurement, and even psychometry were the main tools used by the discoverers to peer back into the ‘real’ mystery of past epochs. The use of psychometry (the psychic art of touching things to pick up feelings and knowledge from objects and places) alone would have been enough to put off any scientific approval. Yet this psychic process was to establish some very sound foundations for the later vindication of the actuality of the ‘Ley Line systems’ and their significance. Psychometry discerned that each ‘current system’ and the building site it coursed through had a separate character. That character was dependent on an accumulation of factors which involved the site itself, its’ astronomical conjunction, and the power of the current flow.
The ‘Ley Systems’ were both currents and channels for attracting cosmic influence, power, and magic. They continue to be shouded in missing principles, incomplete understanding, and wholesale mysteries. Isn’t it great?
Past researchers this century, such as Dr. Heinsch and Foster Forbes among others, were struck by the uncanny precise correctness of prehistoric building in relationship to both the Leys and astrological constellations. But the immensity and profusion of such sites spoke of a highly advanced remote civilization, so knowledgeable, that it must have been configured on a global scale...or the remnants of a great civilization surviving after a planet wide catastrophe. Their skills had embodied both higher science and magic, s combination of features incompatible with the science of today....and one more non destructive, revealing, intimate, and ‘intune’ with nature and spirit.
Indeed, the worldwide nature of this advanced civilization can be amply demonstrated.
The Chinese called these magnetic lines ‘Dragon Paths’. Aborigines in Australia, as part of their race memories, relate to the ‘paths’ as routes of the Gods...and knew their force to revitalize nature at various times of the year.
In Ireland these magnetic direction lines were refereed to as ‘Fairy Paths’. The Hopi Indian tradition, whose tribal lands are adjacent to the Navajo in the South-West of the United States, relate them to thought communication highways. The well know observational fact that ‘flying saucers’ have been noted to follow these ‘magnetic lines of force’ as a possible navigational guidance aid, and probably a lot more, is cause to re-think the inadmissible and unthinkable...that perhaps the occupants of such craft were more than a little influential in the plotting and use of these ‘lines’ in the first place. Would they not be as Gods in our prehistoric past?
Much of the foregoing consideration of ‘Leys’ and ancient civilizations can be derived from researching authors during the first few decades of the twentieth century...much more was the contribution of John Michell...who brought large amounts of this material together. His ‘fertile feel’ and study of ancient Man was more than the forerunner of material in ‘Heaven’s Mirror’-a later book by Graham Hancock.
Even the concept of prehistoric building to reflect the constellations on the ground was commented on by John Michell’s research into past records and writings. While current openness is most appreciated and necessary exposure, ‘things’ being current have nothing to do with newness.
Graham Hancock’s great contribution was to bring in ‘on the spot’ and very visual approaches to a world wide audience...along with his sober personality and analysis of Man’s more ancient heritage based on ‘new think’. His challenging of the ‘old timelines’ laid down by conservative, non-creative, and incomplete curiosities of ‘respected’ former disciplines marks a turning point for such explorations and explanations.
