Was Alfred and these others the first to learn about ley lines? No, many cultures were familiar with them. Native Americans called them Spirit Paths. The Chinese called them Dragon Paths. The Aborigines of Australia called them Song Lines, and the Irish called them Fairy Paths. Ancient peoples considered these to be sources of some type of energy which was unknown to them.

In modern times, we are surrounded by so many appliances, electric power lines and other sources of energy that perhaps we have lost sensitivity to naturally occurring magnetic forces in the earth. Speculation is that ancient peoples may have literally been able to feel the presence of ley lines and other electromagnetic anomalies in particular stones and caves. No one knows how they did it, but somehow ancient peoples built mounds and pyramids and placed sacred stones and burial structures along these ley lines. Was this an attempt to control the energy there?

Could it also be that the characteristics of dragons are a way of describing and dealing with these energy anomolies occurring along these paths? Eerily, a dragon's characteristic of hoarding treasure, for instance, seems similar to the idea of negative energy "hoarding" the treasure of peace and harmony. So to gain a dragon's treasure, tradition says that one must slay the dragon. Another myth about dragons in some parts of the world is that a dragon will give treasure to those he feels worthy to receive it or to those that are able to coax it away from him. Could this be compared to manipulating the power in ley lines with the placement of stones or other structures to obtain the treasure of peace and harmony?

Indeed, it seems that all this information indicates that a lot of blood, sweat and tears have been spent in the course of history trying to do something about these unknown negative forces. The slaying of the dragon or the overcoming of a negative force shows up as a little thread woven through the fabric of the cultures of the earth.

Let us now visit another source of information, the Bible, where a curse is recorded that God placed upon the earth because of Adam's sin. The portion of text about this reads, " . . . cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth to you . . ." Interestingly, Jesus Christ was crowned with a crown of thorns at his crucifixion. Could this be signifying him as the king of breaking this curse?
