old pathways are dated from 10,000 to 4,000 BC.

The early Christians arrived in Britain, they built their churches on the old sacred sites, which is a reason why most old churches are also on ley lines. The two early Saints Michael and George took over hill and dale. Both of these Saints were famous Dragon killers. St. Michael kept a lookout over the high ridges, (most of St. Michael s churches are located on hilltops), and St. George took over the lowlands.

There is an old story about St Michael and a Dragon. According to legend the two fought for seven days and found that they were evenly matched, and no victory for either was in sight. Michael received the magic of the Dragon, as he now bore the mark of the Dragon. On St. Michael s feast day, which was originally celebrated on the Fall Equinox, but was later changed to the 29th of Sept., everyone spends the night celebrating. The families travel on horseback to the local St. Michael s church. The Cailleach an Dudain is performed there. This is an ancient dance which is performed by a man and a woman. During the enactment the man kills the woman with the touch of a Druid s wand, and then restores her to life by touching each part of her body with the wand, and breathing life into her mouth.

Dowsers who have experimented with ley lines have found that many double in width at sunrise and sunset, and fluctuate during the phases of the moon and at the change of the seasons. The energy is most intense at noon on the full moon, but quiets down just before the sunset. The energy has been known to reverse direction at times. The E-line is the largest ley line found. This line circles the globe and is 70 to 100 paces in width.

The old straight paths of the serpent in Australia run across the deserts. The aborigines have the job of caring for the rock painting made by their ancestors at the points where the lines cross. Each tribe takes care of their own area, repainting the rocks at the proper time and season. They are called the Song Lines here, as the aborigines sing songs of the creation to release the power of the serpent to make the land fertile.

Ayers rock or Uluru in aborigine, is Australia s largest monolith. It is seem by the aborigines as the center of life in Australia. They say that it marks the spot where two serpents come together.

Persia also sports absolutely straight roads, which run for miles across the land. Ethiopia also has it own straight paths connecting it s standing stones. These stones were also associated with the Dragon in ancient times.

Even the Bible contains stories of the old paths. For instance the Book of Samuel contains the story of the Philistines capture of the Ark of the Covenant. They put it in a cart pulled by oxen and allowed the oxen to pull it away, destination unknown. The oxen took the straight way of Beth-Shemesh, turned not left or right, and ended up at a standing stone.

From ancient Greece, comes the story of the energy of Dragon Python, who was worshipped in Delphi as the creator of the earth. This energy connected all the ancient holy sites, and was ruled over by Castor and Pollux, the twins equated with the constellation of Gemini, and ruled over by Hermes (Mercury), who was the overseer of energy and paths.

Ancient legends abound the tell the story of the killing of the Dragon or the Serpent. These range from the Babylonian Dragon Tiamet, or the first creator, being killed by her children to Apollo who killed the Dragon Python or the father of the earth. There is also the story of St. Patrick driving the serpents out of Ireland. All the old knowledge is still alive, but is hidden and embedded in the old myths, legends, symbolism, rites and traditions.
