This question is addressed to anyone in forums who lives in the UK and/or anyone who studies this stuff; what exactly are the Ley Lines in Scotland and Wales? I know they have something to do with the history of the region but I've always associated them with the occult because that is how they were explained to me by self-proclaimed experts who never visited the UK and really have no clue. Any help is appreciated. Also what is a "tumulus"?

hi rationtin 440,being the only member in scotland ,(i think we ve got some in wales)this one is mine.i could just google it and find the general answer , but my interpretation of ley lines are is they are lines of energy caused by magntic forces and dont just happen in scotland and wales (area 51 is supposedly on a ley line junction ) ,but the world over and lots of major religuos and spiritual sites are on ley lines. a tumulus is a burial mound,on the top of a hill.this is a bit skimpy but i hope it helps. davy

Thanks for reply sodjer! I have read about them and how they've been associated with magic, demonology and other bizarre stuff, also how the magnetic forces were used during the middle ages to add power to certain rites and rituals.

Hi,
there're many people interested in ley lines here in Brittany and in France too.
Near my town there's an old chapel on the top of the biggest hill around the area (a sacred place since the Celtic era). One of the central tiles of the chapel ground is white instead of grey and some locals told me that they could feel magnetic forces when standing there.
As the chapel is only open the "tourist days", I've never been able to concentrate enough to feel anything

When I was 20, in Northern France, the father of a friend used to talk a lot about ley lines, specially after a few glasses. He could have shown you lines going from a tumulus to an abbey or from a "Celtic" stone to a church on any map of the county.
Once, after he had siped the full content of a bottle of brandy, he told all our family to follow him, walked to the churchyard and started to fall into transe, standing behind the church, between the graves and shaking all over while shouting "I can feel it! I can feel the power of the Druids!"

It was All Saints Day, the day before the Day of the Deads*, everybody in village was there cleaning the graves and after that they were convinced we were part of a kind of satanic sect

* Halloween festival wasn't known yet in France.
