Supernatural Spaces 3: The Old, Straight Track | Ley Lines | Energy Grid | Riding the Dragon
Send us a textIn this installment of the sacred space series we explore theories regarding currents of supernatural energy believed to form a networking system of vital force throughout the world. We begin with an introduction to Alfred Watkins’s theory of ley lines, straight alignments of sacred sites (holy wells, legendary trees), megalithic structures, standing stones, dolmens, ancient churches, and burial mounds which seem to have been linked together. We enter the magic world of prehistoric Britain. Calling to mind the notion of lost civilizations like Atlantis, we consider the advanced knowledge that these builders possessed, who may have in the remote past formed these ley lines as part of a global mission, linking together humanity, earth, and the cosmos, the full purpose of which remains unknown. To shed light on this profound mystery, we dive into creation myths, legends, and folklore regarding sacred pathways, ghost/ corpse roads/ways, and fairy paths, which exist in some form in cultures around the world, many of which we bring to bear, including Greek, Celtic, Brittonic, Native American, Chinese, and Siberian. We discuss the ritual, magical, and spiritual functions of these paths in things like mystical pilgrimages, directing of spiritual energies, and tapping into nonlocal consciousness and ESP. We will look at their use, not only by humans, but also a range of otherworldly entities. We hear two true creepy stories of encounters with spirits traveling along these routes, such as in the case of the phantom funeral procession, and a host of mischievous Irish fairies following a man home. We note the metaphysical significance of straight lines and their use in shamanic/ magick practices like spiritual healing, soul retrieval and out-of-body journeys. These ideas may help us to understand the purpose of ley lines, and as we connect these pieces together, we look at several examples of ancient megalithic marvels featuring sacred pathways, such as Kennet Avenue (Avebury/ The Sanctuary), Chaco Canyon, and Nazca. In exploring the possibility that these sacred pathways and ley lines may have been made to mark and even enhance the natural telluric energies of Gaia, we look to the the Chinese geomantic sacred science of feng shui, specifically its esoteric concept of chi and dragon veins which circulate energy through the land. We also explore other geomancy traditions used by diviners and dowsers in their efforts to understand the spiritual reality which gives rise to these earth energies and how ancient architecture interfaced with them.Later on, our adventure takes us into the territory of modern paranormal research which has shown that phenomena such as UFO’s, hell hounds, and forms of mobile apparitions tend to occur in straight and grid-like patterns. Going deeper into this, we break down different layouts for how this earth energy network might be laid out, such as the theory of vile vortices and devil’s graveyards (triangles), and earth grids, which have been proposed by noting concentrations of heightened paranormal activity, includingSupport the showAll episodes are available in video format on YouTube Send your personal experiences (spiritual, paranormal), questions, comments, or business inquiries to: hiddenpassagepodcast@gmail.comYou can also send a voice message through SpeakPipeFollow on Instagram & TwitterPlease consider rating/ leaving a review.
