One of the funny things about ley lines and that whole…occult school of thought or what have you is that originally, there was nothing supernatural about them in the slightest. I’ve seen nothing to suggest that Alfred Watkins had a single occult bone in his body; his theory was purely one of archeology and architecture, positing that the pre-Roman peoples of Britain used a straight line arrangement to place their sites. This is generally considered wrong today, but it was a legit and perfectly down-to-earth idea.
Then John Mitchell, of “Earth is only 20,000 years old” and “Queen Elizabeth II needs to reinstate the Divine Right of Kings” fame decided to bolt a load of spiritual/alien shit onto it more than 30 years after Watkin’s death. And after that the Earth Mystery stuff just wrote itself.

dancing under the moon… howling ancient chants … and burning wild flowers with the beautiful feminine devotees of mad old gods… could be the move
This drawing ended up having some cool Dionysus vibes and I’m not complaining.

Starting a business with two separate bathrooms, except one of them has the symbol for alchemical antimony on the door, and the other, the symbol for alchemical phosphorus. If you ask the staff about it, they claim to understand your confusion, then lead you to a third, previously undisclosed bathroom with the alchemical symbol for potassium carbonate.

I love seeing prayers and stories of devotees who worship Gods that I don’t worship.
Actually, I’ve always been like this.
I love hearing the tales of religions that I don’t subscribe to. Even if I don’t agree with every Christian, I do enjoy hearing Christians talk about how wonderful Jesus is and what he means to them personally.
I enjoy hearing Muslims talk about their prayers, how they reserve time out of their day for their God.
I enjoy hearing Jews sing their psalms, I love hearing about how they prepare their food, how they consider God’s hands in their meals.
I love hearing about Hellenic rituals and Semetic celebrations. I love learning about the different holy days among different groups of pagans.
I love learning how different people have incorporated different Gods, acts, and customs into their faith. I love hearing about their myths and legends, the stories they tell their children before bed.
I love hearing about the different ways that humanity has connected to their personal idea of God.
I don’t worship Apollon or Shiva today, but I am so delighted to hear the prayers of those that do. It’s like I’m getting to feel the mist erupting off of a waterfall. Or hearing the echo of a song that I do not know the lyrics to, but I can still hum the melody. I can feel the notes permeate my mind, even if I don’t know what they mean.
I love that there are people who worship these Gods that I do not worship. I’m happy that there is so much diversity among humanity that we have enough love in us for all of them.
For the ones that even I don’t know the names of, or felt the warmth of. Someone has.
That’s a very very good thing.
