WHAT IS A LEY LINE?

Happy Sunday to all:

It's official! My new children's fantasy adventure novel, Kiva & the Stone Nation is live on Kindle. If you'd like to read a sample, borrow the book on Amazon Prime or buy the book for any Kindle app, please click the book cover below.

 

Since Kiva is a young girl who discovers she has inherited her grandmother Hota's abilities as a YaYa Hiké (a shape shifting shaman), I have decided that over the next twelve weeks I will teach you the 12 lessons to becoming a YaYa Hiké.

Lesson #1

As quoted in the book by Scout, Kiva's guide and an important member of the Stone Nation, Lesson # 1 is, "Shape shifters shift energy. Like just now, when I moved my energy along the ley line.”

So what exactly is a Ley Line?  According to Scout, "They're energy grids that link sacred sites all around the world."

According to Wikipedia, "Ley lines /lei lains/ are supposed alignments of a number of places of geographical and historical interest, such as ancient monuments and megaliths, natural ridge-tops and water-fords. The phrase was coined in 1921 by the amateur archaeologist Alfred Watkins, in his books Early British Trackways and The Old Straight Track. He sought to identify ancient trackways in the British landscape. Watkins later developed theories that these alignments were created for ease of overland trekking by line-of-sight navigation during neolithic times, and had persisted in the landscape over millennia."

Since the time when the phrase ley lines was created many spiritual followers have adopted the term to describe straight lines between not only these geographic and historic sites as mentioned in Mr. Watkins' book but also most spiritual sites as well. Some of the sites these ley lines connect include: Chaco Canyon, NM; Sedona, AZ; Mutiny Bay, WA; Stonehenge in England; Mt. Everest in Asia; Ayers Rock in Australia, Nazca in Peru, The Great Pyramid at Giza, Egypt, Notre Dame in Paris,  the Parthenon in Greece and numerous other churches, mosques, temples and sacred sites around the world.

According to Scout, "All shape shifters can travel them." So if you want to become a shape shifter and travel along ley lines stay tuned for more lessons on becoming a YaYa Hiké.

Until the next time...happy reading!
