A Crieff earth energies researcher has taken his life-long research on ley lines across the pond, where it is causing quite a stir.
David Cowan’s latest book ‘Ley Lines of the UK and USA’ claims that knowledge from the ancient Egyptians to the Stone Age has been used by secret societies to create straight lines leading from ancient burial grounds across the UK and USA with castles, royal palaces, churches, cathedrals, abbeys and Irish round towers carefully placed on them.
In the USA David’s book is attracting huge interest and he has already been interviewed on the radio to explain his theory that America’s capital city may have been deliberately built on ley lines.
David told the Strathearn Herald: “Ley lines have been a controversial issue for decades but this book shows conclusively that they do exist and that they have played a major role in the development of our culture, a knowledge which in the past was the preserve of royalty, the Church, some secret societies and town planners.”
As a keen hill walker David discovered that he could use divining rods to follow the energies from standing stones and circles.
At a number of ancient burial grounds around Lochs Tummel and Rannoch he also discovered straight streams of energy passing through them, running in various directions. He resolved to follow them, beleiving they had been placed at precise spots by our ancestors for a powerful purpose.
Many years and many miles later he plotted them on a number of OS maps. Belatedly he noticed that they seemed to converge as they went south and he was astonished when he discovered that the sources in all cases were important castles sitting on volcanic plugs, initiating further research and culminating in his latest book.
David exposes the hidden knowledge in his books, which he hopes will encourage scientists, archaeologists and geologists to investigate further.
On poring over books written by three major researchers on the subject, David discovered that they had unwittingly plotted the lines of castles, churches, cathedrals, Irish round towers, palaces and burial grounds in straight lines, with all of the energies originating from volcanic plugs and extinct volcanoes.
He explained: “It was obvious that these ancient monuments had been placed in line between two or more of these, which causes a beat effect of natural telluric energies.
“The island of Staffa is such a volcanic island, with its strange pillars of basalt, sending a line – actually a stream – of waves from the resonant Boat Cave across country through Dundurn Hill at St Fillans, one time the fort of the kings which ruled over Scotland, Ireland, and most of England - a very important place indeed. The beat effect in this instance is between Staffa and one of the strangest volcanic plugs in Scotland, the Rock and Spindle at St Andrews.”
David also discovered that Crieff’s streets were planned as a right-angled triangle, part of a six pointed star, with St Michael’s Church at the centre.
He said: “After the masons built Drummond Castle, itself on a volcanic dyke, they planned King Street, lined up with Dumbarton Castle volcanic rock and Burrell Street to Stirling Castle on its volcanic plug, with West High Street on a ley between Braefordie stone circle (on top of a volcanic pluton) to the old St Michael’s Church in Church Street and on to Dunning Church.
“The major cities and parliaments in the UK are likewise built on a right-angled triangle, from the Scottish Parliament (carefully situated between two plugs) down to Cardiff parliament and east to London, and this knowledge was taken to the USA to form the powerful Federal Triangle with the White House, the Capitol and Pennsylvania Avenue lined up with no less than two 2000 ft plugs and one extinct volcano, with the sun setting to the west along with the constellation Virgo: three stars in the shape of a right-angle. They even used astrology and astronomy to power this.
“Scotland has some 15 volcanic plugs on the mainland and the energies they emit have been used by secret societies down through many centuries.
“This esoteric knowledge may be one reason that the Scots, who must be more in touch with the planet than most cultures, have contributed so much to medicine, science, poetry, thinkers, publishers, engineering, religions, explorers, inventors and bankers.
“It is still being used today by some very knowledgeable people, as can be seen in one particular ley through Edinburgh’s main streets situated between three volcanic plugs, the most powerful in the country, with no less than nine major banks and many other important institutions on it.
“It also has St Andrew’s Square, with its paths laid out as the all-seeing eye of the ancient Egyptians with a statue of Comrie’s Lord Dundas at the focal point of five volcanic plugs. Lord Dundas was the first governor of the Royal Bank of Scotland.”
