A Ley Line is a very contentions term to describe holy places aligned in a straight line. Some feel that they are merely a relflection of things aligned in a straight line. Others think them to be Energy lines, or an electrical current like a meridian, or nadi. Others like me think them to be conduits of consciousness that act like superhighways in the unseen world.
As John Michell notes,
The St. Michael Line of traditional dragons sites in south-west England (…) is remarkable for its length and accuracy. It appears to be set between two prominent Somerset hills, both dedicated to St. Michael with ruined churches on their summit.Dragon Slayer?
Really?
Monica Sjoo and Barbara More in The Great Cosmic Mother, Rediscovering the Religion of the Earth have a very different take on St. Michael, on what a dragon slayer is, and what the St. Michael's line represents.
To them Dragon Slayer is another term for Goddess Slayer. Sjoo and More along with many others tell how the ancient religion of the Goddess/Nature and their matriarchal societies were assaulted by the Abrahamic patriarchal societies. You know "kill the pagans, burn the witches, Eve (evil women) is a sinner who tempted Adam(man), etc...."
Michell in the New View of Atlantis and others have talked about how the Church went to great lengths to seize, redefine and co-opt pagan holy areas by constructing churches over them. Basically defiling them. The sacred sites that the St. Michael's Line connects is one example.
Sjoo is into sacred sites and has visited many in Europe; particularly in England. I would not be surprised if she was a dowser and that some old timers may know of her.
Here is what Monica Sjoo and Barbara More wrote n The Great Cosmic Mother, Rediscovering the Religion of the Earth
For hundreds of years male archaeologists have been excavating the (Silbury) mound (England), desperately hoping to find within it theBronze Age burial mound of an Essex king..But as Micheal Dames ... points out Neolithic culture was based on kinship not kingship. In Dames view the Silbury mound expresses a vision of cosmic unity long lost too patriarchy...One such dragon-slayer, or serpent-killing"hero," is St. MICHAELF. MANY OF THE EARLIEST Christian churches Britain, dedicated to St. Michael, were built precisely on the ancient mounds and high-places of the Great Goddess. in Christian lore, St. Michael was the head chief of band of angles (read "patriarchal Invaders") that went to war with the Mother Dragon and her people" Pages 105, 107Perhaps the St. Michael Ley Line should be called the Great Goddess of Holy Places Ley Line?
