'Every active earth mysterian has had people contact them to ask if
there’s a map of ley lines for their area, and usually the best we can
offer is to suggest they go off and make one themselves. Veteran
linearist and walker Laurence Main has another suggestion however, buy
this book and you not only get maps showing alignments, you also find
details on how to go and follow them.
Main’s commitment to earth mysteries is long-standing and enthusiastic, sometimes frighteningly so – as people who disturb him while sleeping at sacred places have found to their cost - and this book broadly reflects current inclinations across the whole e.m spectrum, as the title suggests. Containing walks from as short as three miles to more ambitious thirteen-mile hikes, it offers a more direct experience of leys, corpse-ways and spirit paths than any textbook can.
The twenty walks are spread throughout Wales, so if you are anywhere near that country, there will be one relatively near you.
Entertaining as well as informative, this is one of the best guides available for the antiquarian rambler.'
