These nodes were distributed across the land according to the principles of number, proportion and sacred geometry. Just as acupuncturists redirect chi through the meridians of the body, so Michell thought the ancients channelled dragon energy by erecting stones, building wells and raising mounds at auspicious, sacred sites. He took Watkins’ alignments and fused them with ideas from Chinese geomancy such that leys were now conduits of earth or dragon energy. He spent much of his later life searching for straight alignments between the wells, churches, standing stones, nooks in the skyline, and so on that he thought had been waymarks on these prehistoric paths.Just as acupuncturists Alfred Watkins ‘discovered’ it back in the 1920s when he had a vision of the landscape criss-crossed by ancient trackways. In 1969 the old-Etonian writer, antiquarian and ley-hunter, John Michell, published The View Over Atlantis.Ī book that would pretty much invent Earth Mysteries.
