Earth Mysteries

Earth mysteries grew out of a stubborn idea, that the ancient sites of Britain were placed with a purpose we have since forgotten, and this part of my research follows that idea through the ley lines and stone circles of the British landscape. Some of these theories have deep roots in folklore while others are barely a century old, and I try to sort one from the other while keeping an open mind about what people have experienced at these places.
