What it's All About:
The question that you may ask is "What are ley lines?" and "What does that have to do with paganism?". This is where I get esoteric. There are several places on the earth's surface that are thought to be aligned by ley lines. Depending on their location, these may (or may not) correspond to rivers, towns, and mountain peaks. Many ancient buildings were built near ley lines to harness their power, according to anecdotes, so it's not surprising that pagans would be drawn to. I will talk about what ley lines are, the most famous sites where you can see them, and why they are important to paganism.

Welcome to another episode of the Music From the Goddess’ Vault Podcast. I am your host, Midnight Starr. The song you heard was Drawing Lines by Fay Brotherhood.
Today's episode is about ley lines. But first, if you haven't already, please visit the blog goddess vault one dot Wix site dot com forward slash home. From there, you can listen to the podcast. I encourage you to spread the word of this podcast through the blog, the Music From the Goddess’ Vault Facebook page, Instagram and Twitter at Goddess vault, and TikTok at Midnight Starr two. That's Midnight Starr (with two r's) and two.Let's talk about ley lines. You might know what this is about, and some of you might have fallen asleep in geography and geology class. Currently, the only thing I can tell you about ley lines is that where I live now has one. I'll go into more detail about that, as well as the history, the famous landmarks and what this has to do with paganism. However, let's listen to another song first. What about Ley Lines by Dolman?

Ley lines are almost like latitudinal and longitudinal lines, but they're more energetic and cross the globe both vertically and horizontally. A wealthy British business person, Alfred Watkins, discovered it in 1921. When he was driving along, he noticed some features lining up in the landscape of Britain. Drawing straight lines across his map, he concluded that ancient Celts and Anglo-Saxons traveled in a straight line. They followed landmarks on the landscape as a guide. He explained his findings in great detail in his book Early British Trackways. I will not go into significant details about the rest of this history. However, you get the gist of what ley lines are. What if I told you that there are famous places on the planet that have been reported to have these lines? I'll explain more in the next segment. This is Willow Wynd with Soul Traveller (The Portal).

It’s time for another spirit guide of the week. Let's go back to the animal kingdom and discuss the squirrel. Squirrel is the totem animal for regeneration, restoration, enthusiasm, positivism, dedication, obligation, and harmony. If Squirrel is your power animal, it is time for you to get your house clean to avoid clutter. You must prepare for this transformation by lightening your burden and giving away items that no longer benefit you. You're exceptional at planning, organizing, and executing strategies. If you're feeling unprepared or worried about an approaching event, consult squirrel medicine for that. It's also advising you to be especially cautious right now. A guardian squirrel can tell you when to leave a situation or person. You must also quit worrying and being afraid of the future. If you want to focus your efforts on anything, you must invoke the power animal squirrel. You're also better at learning by doing it yourself or having someone show you how to do it rather than reading about it in a book. And the squirrel advises you to balance work with play. That is it for now. Stay tuned for another spirit guide of the week.

This was Mama Gina's Invocation to Nut. The following are some famous spots where there are reportedly ley lines. They include:
Stonehenge
The Great Pyramids of Giza
Bermuda Triangle (no wonder there are so many missing planes and ships there)
Chichen Itza in Mexico.
Machu Picchu
Mount Everest
And I bet there are many more. How does Ley Lines relate to Paganism? Well, it's all in the energy. I mentioned earlier on the show that Ley Lines are energy lines on the earth. It is impossible to see them, but some of you may feel them. We pagans use magic to work with energy. It is present in our surroundings everywhere. You can't see ley lines, but you can feel them, as I previously mentioned. And there are only two methods to do it: drowsing and using your pendulum. I've already covered them in two past episodes. If you want to, check out those episodes. The song I will play now is Energy in Motion by Elaine Silver.

Here's another dream symbol to interpret. There are two in this week’s dream symbol. They are jewelry and job. In dreams, jewelry frequently represents prestige, as well as your own feeling of identity and personal importance. Receiving jewelry as a present in your dream suggests you need to recognize and apply those attributes to yourself. If you see damaged jewelry in your dreams, it represents setbacks in improving your performance and fulfilling your deepest aspirations. If you have a dream concerning your current job, it means you need to put in more effort or be more productive. Dreaming that you have a job even if you are currently unemployed might be encouraging for your career prospects. When you have a dream about being employed at your former job, you are learning a lesson that you may use in a present circumstance. If you dreamed you were replacing or taking over someone else's job, it implies that you must complete the task yourself if you want it accomplished well. Losing your job in a dream signifies uncertainty and turmoil in your regular life. When you're seeking a job in your dreams, you're unsatisfied and unsatisfied in your current situation. If you have a dream in which you are applying for multiple jobs, it means you need proper guidance and a specific aim. If you want a dream symbol to interpret and maybe have a dream symbol featured, I will mention the contact information at the end of this show. So keep dreaming.

Here's another one from the Folktext website. This is from Austria, and it is called The Deserter with the Tinderbox.
(41:05)
The song was Moon and a Tinderbox by Spiral Dance. You heard Ginger Ackley sing She Wears No Ring before that. This concludes the show. Again, I am your host, Midnight Starr. If you would like to suggest a song, topic, spirit guide or dream symbol, or just want to like, share, or comment; you can do so on the Music From the Goddess' Vault Facebook page, through the goddess vault one dot Wix site slash home, on TikTok at Midnight Starr (with two r's) two, and on Instagram and Twitter at Goddess Vault. I'm going to leave you with Lindie Lila and We Are the Flow. Blessed be and stay safe.
