It is more helpful to explain what ley lines are, than to try to figure out a purpose, though we can certainly talk about the purposes to which they've been put.

Ley lines are the lines of force that are generated by the earth. So far, there has been no solid scientific evidence that they exist, but there is a multitude of circumstantial evidence, much of which is strong enough to stand up in court. Scientifically, the idea of their presence is sound. It should be pointed out too, that only in the last couple decades have we been able to detect electro-magnetic abnormalities on the earth at all. A time may very well come when both major and minor ley lines will be measurable.

A simple experiment will show that lines of force definitely could, and most likely do exist. For the experiment, you will need some fine iron filings and a bar magnet. Spread the filings out on a flat surface, like on a sheet of paper. Place the bar magnet in the middle, and observe.

What you will see is that the filings will align themselves into noticeable bands that move up and arc outward from the ends of the magnet, then move roughly parallel to the magnet before arcing inward and finally to the opposite end of the magnet.

The Earth is tremendously more complex, but we know that it also has magnetic field lines, since the rotation of the earth around a molten core produces a strong magnetic field. We are still learning a great deal about those lines of force. The visual representation we get from our experiment, though, shows a simple version of what Ley lines are, and that they do in fact exist. We simply cannot measure them at this time.

The lines are not always moving straight from pole to pole. Like in the activity we see and have measured in the sun, especially around sunspots, the lines of force can emanate from the surface and spread out in a starburst fashion. They are also not all of the same strength. Minor ley lines exist, and in fact theoretically, they must. Most of us, without thinking about it, have encountered minor ley lines. There are more of them because the power is less.

Further, other magnetic properties in rocks may cause ley lines to bend or even spiral. This is also a well-known phenomenon in electro-magnetic engineering.

All of this adds up to a grid of power lines, though not in the conventional sense we'd think of as being a grid, since it isn't even, and the lines seldom run perpendicular to one another. However, they do cross one another in many places. Where
