This was a very interesting book. Several forms of Earth energies are covered. There is an emphasis on the system of energy leys in Scotland. The author proposes that the ability to detect such energies is inherent in the human body. He used dowsing rods to follow the leys all over the Scottish countryside.
He found that many of the ancient megalithic monuments were a part of the ley system. Also, some caves, churches, etc. are also parts of it. He even notes that modern structures sometimes modify these ancient paths of energy.
The energies of these leys can also affect human mental states and body functions. This could explain some supposedly supernatural phenomenon.
I do not regret buying this book.

Collaboratively written by David Cowan and Chris Arnold, Ley Lines And Earth Energies is a seminal and original guide to the energies of the Earth itself, and how those energies affect human health and well-being, as well as the effects such things have had in creating "sacred" places that simply feel special. A powerful, metaphysical spiritual guide to tapping into the infinite bounty of nature, and illustrated with black-and-white photographs and maps, Ley Lines And Earth Energies is a welcome and very special addition to metaphysics, geology, and Earth Studies.

A very detailed yet interesting acount of ley line and earth energies for the student interested in learning about basic earth energy concepts as well as documented examples of ancient forms of environmental psychlogy.


Not totally scientific- yet not touchy-feely new age. A good book for the serious student.

If you like dowsing techniques or energy work, and you're interested in ley lines, you'll love this book.

If you flinch when someone applies New Age concepts to ley lines, parts of this book may annoy you.

The authors delve into ley lines as energy lines, which is a controversial leap for some ley line purists. That said, if even 1/10 of the ideas in this book are useful, this book is well worth reading, no matter what your background or context.

Whether your interest is paranormal research, New Age studies, history or how the landscape can affect health, there are enough fresh concepts in this book to keep you busy for years, exploring and confirming (or refuting) the authors' research.

I particularly like the possibility that ley lines are actually a circuit of energy, sometimes forming a loop rather than a single line. That's innovative and well-illustrated in this challenging book.

This fast-paced book includes such a wide range of topics, it could have been ten or more books. However, the authors provide just enough information to give the reader a solid grounding (no pun intended) in a variety of concepts and research techniques. In my opinion, they're superb and fascinating starting points.

Every page in the book could become the basis of several years' study, for anyone who wants to pursue these groundbreaking concepts in more detail. The ample, very clear illustrations open even more possibilities.

While I raise an eyebrow at some of what the authors say and want to study this in more depth, this is a vital textbook for anyone who seeks better answers and new research directions as we study ley lines.

I applaud the authors for sharing their ideas and research so generously.

I was disappointed that there was no mention of Hartman, Curry lines, etc. I figured this would at least cover the basics. Everything is British--all sites the author mentions. Hard to relate to here in the US, but biggest concern was the lack of the basics mentioned. I'm sure there are better books out there for the purpose. This one is really narrow.

Ley Lines are well explained in this book, which provokes connecting thoughts towards other applications. The author is thorough in explaining the background, illustrations, descriptions, and detection of ley lines. I found the discourse regarding "cup marks" on stones fascinating, and the implications of magnetic energy escaping from fault line areas very interesting. I recommend this book for anyone interested in magnetic energies and/or ley lines discussion.

This book takes us further along this mysterious trail as it builds on preceding works by its multiple methodology and hypothesis'.

Brilliant - explains why my dowsing rods move, the world goes round and life goes on - and gets us on track to answering some of the deep and meaningful questions that human-kind has pondered for however long.

Great work from David Cowan.
A lot of really useful information.
Lost Ancient knowledge rediscovered.
Get it before it goes out of print again!!!
