great stuff Kat!!!! You rule.

I have always been interested in ley lines since first learning of them long ago. I am so glad Watkins' book is in print again!

I attended the Ancient Sacred Landscapes Network conference last year and there was some discussion of ley lines by a couple of speakers on the first day of talks. The second day of the conference was field trips to the Rollright Stones, White Horse Hill and Waylands' Smithy.

One man who was attending had dowsing rods with him, spoke cryptically of "dragons" and rather bulldozed the discussion at one point. People had to finally tell him to shut up because he kept going on and on about how the "dragons will rise" and said some kinda insulting things about the Rollrights Trust (members of which had helped organize the conference). Ah well, there's one in every crowd...

The second conference is July 7-8 in Yorkshire this summer; that is, of course, if hoof and mouth is over by then and travelling in the countryside can recur...I imagine they could still hold the lectures but not having the field trips would be a drag...

I highly recommend this conference!!! If anyone wants more info let me know and I can post what little I have...Fascinating speakers, great books and wares for sale, very cool people attending! Sir Aubrey Burl (one of the earliest experts on stone circles in Britain) is one of the key lecturers this year...I shall attend if the gods are with us all...

and those who ancient lines did ley will heed the signs that call them back..."
