Ley lines are alignments between places of a particular energy, be it magical, magnetic, or psychic in nature. These ‘ley lines’ can pertain to distinct areas in the world, big and small, or a vast network of lines that encircles the globe. In the latter instance, ’sweet spots’ occur where two or more lines cross over and are known as Ley Nodes or Nexuses. Nodes can be regarded as places of supernatural significance. Stone Henge is thought to be built on one such intersection. Ley Lines are also thought to act as invisible conduits that tap into the mystical power that flows through the earth. For those who believe in ‘natural magic’ the patterns these lines create can also become useful in something referred to as ‘Geometric Magic’. In modern times there has been an interest in the churches built by Hawksmoor that, if you connect them up using the ideas behind ley lines, seem to form the mystical symbol of the pentagram.
