Fortunately, as a result of a severe outbreak of Cholera in Soho, which chemist John Snow recorded in detail, he and Whitehead were able to show that infection was transmitted by water contaiminated by sewage, rather than gases. Since then, the ravens that inhabit the site have had their wings clipped, for it is said that if the black birds leave the Tower, so the fate of England will follow.

Jeremy Harte, editor of Wessex Earth Mysteries, subsequently produced several books on folklore; his book on British fairy lore later won the Folklore Society's annual prize. The Earthstars geometry encoded into the landscape must be having a positive harmonising effect on that water, because it is the sort of sacred geometry that results from Dr. The Club survived him, although it became largely inactive at the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 and formally disbanded in 1948. real Camelot once existed at the centre of Enfield Chase, the Royal Hunting Ground of the Plantagenet Kings. John thinks he has found Ley Lines from Camberwell Road to St Pauls, and from Walworth Road to St Giles.

John Chaple though is open minded, but he doesn't think London's Ley Lines are made by aliens either.

There are suggestions for good times of year to walk each ley, as some seem to line up closely with the solstices or equinoxes. The sample distribution from the standing stones was compared with the theoretical distribution to show that the occurrence of straight lines was no more than average. It was in the latter decade of this period that a belief in ley lines was taken up by members of the counterculture, [13] where—in the words of the archaeologist Matthew Johnson—they were attributed with "sacred significance or mystical power".Tracks were set out visually – by lighting beacons on high points, for example – and then lining up markers and key points across the intervening land, including mounds and moats, stone circles and more. You will learn the tales of the witches of London, see the homes of secret societies and walk the streets that birthed London’s New Age Movement. A place of ancient stone circles and sacred waters for forgotten locations dedicated to honouring such moments as the Solstices and Equinox. You will see how within a matter of steps you can journey from the mythical Temple Church to the home of famous figures like Sweeney Todd, or sights made famous on the big screen.

Ley lines are straight lines that can be seen to run through sacred sites and important geographical features. Because of the fibonacci based angles of the various horizontal vectors a dominant cross is created at that location. By the 1990s, British archaeology had become more open to ideas about language and cognition, topics that Earth Mysteries enthusiasts had long been interested in.

One criticism of Watkins' ley line theory states that given the high density of historic and prehistoric sites in Britain and other parts of Europe, finding straight lines that "connect" sites is trivial and ascribable to coincidence. The movement had a diverse base, consisting of individuals from different classes and of different political opinions: it contained adherents of both radical left and radical right ideologies. Although he gained a small following, Watkins' ideas were never accepted by the British archaeological establishment, a fact that frustrated him. Other statistical significance tests have shown that supposed ley-line alignments are no more significant than random occurrences and/or have been generated by selection effects. These days Camberwell artist John, 62, can use Google Earth to do the same thing and he is convinced he has found London's lost Ley Lines.
