Did you know "ley lines" weren't originally about magic at all? In this video, we uncover the fascinating linguistic roots of the term. Alfred Watkins, who coined the term in 1921, discovered that "ley" actually referred to a "clearing" in the ancient forests of Britain—a logical, practical system for navigating through dense woodland.
Why were these grounded, navigational routes eventually turned into the energetic pathways we associate with them today? We track the evolution of this theory, exploring:
The Etymology of "Ley": Why Anglo-Saxon names like "Bradley" and "Lea" hold the key to the mystery.
The Practicality: Why Watkins viewed them as nothing more than ancient trade and travel routes.
The 1960s Shift: How John Michell’s 1969 book, The View Over Atlantis, completely transformed the public perception of ley lines from dirt paths to mystical energy grids.
