Review
"An attractive and interesting work...I enjoyed the book's eccentricity and eclecticism..." -- Northern Earth, Winter 2003/4.

Product Description
The mysterious standing stones, burial grounds and stone circles that lace Europe, the British Isles and other areas have intrigued scientists, writers, artists and travellers through the centuries. They pose so many questions: Why do some places feel special? How do ley lines work? How did our ancestors use Earth energy to map their sacred sites and burial grounds? How do ghosts and poltergeists interact with Earth energy? How can Earth spirals and black spots affect our health? This exploration shows how natural forces affect our behaviour, how they can be used to enhance our health and well being, and ultimately, how they bring us closer to penetrating one of the deepest mysteries being explored. A fascinating and visual book about subtle earth energies and how they affect us and the world around them.

4.0 out of 5 stars An inreresting overview of various Earth energies., August 25, 2003

By	A. Moubray (Tennessee) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A powerful, metaphysical spiritual guide, August 8, 2003

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars ley lines and earth energies, January 27, 2008

By	Barbara Stewart - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
