Standing stones and circles, henges, cup-marked stones and dolmens have intrigued us for generations, but there is little real evidence of their true purpose. 
 
Twenty-five years ago, I watched a programme on "Tomorrows World" on the use of divining rods, and, to my absolute amazement, discovered for myself that they really did work. This was to give me an insight into these mysterious energies, although I had to walk well over three thousand miles, following the sinuous waves of natural telluric energy (ley lines) which standing stones and other artefacts of the megalithic culture emit - little wonder that archaeologists cannot understand them! 
 
Particularly interested in the standing stones and circles in my area (Crieff, Perthshire, Scotland), I tuned in to one particular standing stone, and, with ever growing astonishment, followed the waves of energy it emitted across the country. It became increasingly obvious that this was the secret of the ancients - they used this natural telluric energy, focusing it in certain places, for their own purposes. 
 
That was the first surprise - ley lines are not fine lines which could be drawn on the map, connecting ancient sites together, they were fairly wide streams of energy, comprised of many individual waves emitted from a stone circle or standing stone. A standing stone, for instance, is carefully positioned above a fissure or underground stream, from which it draws its energy, actiing almost like a prism, sending a wide stream of waves across country and through ancient burial-grounds. 
 
STRAIGHT LEY LINES 
 
 
 
Above: this standing stone at Kilmartin, Argyllshire, unusually, has cup-marks on its surface and shows just one of the many waves of energy it emits to form a straight energy ley. The wavelength from standing stones is around 5-6 ft., and are standing waves, different from cup-mark leys (see below), which are about 20 ft. wavelength and have a cycle time of almost two minutes. 
 
 
 
 
 
This is "The Praying Hands of Mary" which is a key point of a straight ley line in Glen Lyon, Perthshire. Behind this split stone, to the east, lies the stone circles of Fortingall, and beyond, Croftmoraig stone circle in Tayside, all in a straight line. 
 
 
 
The energy ley line extends from "The Praying Hands" westwards, over the summit of this hill and through Meggernie Castle with its strange ghost of half of a woman, to a nearby burial ground, across Scotland, through more burial-grounds, to the island of Staffa. Staffa is the geological anomaly which initiates and powers this ley line. Geological anomalies like Staffa are the basic driving force of energy leys. 
 
Straight leys are sometimes marked in unusual ways. The Serpent of St. Fillans shows where a straight ley crosses a glen (valley) to pass through an ancient burial-ground. Our ancestors were preoccupied with focusing natural earth energies through their dead.

CUP-MARKED STONES, THE SECRET OF THE MEGALITHS 
 
The second surprise is that ley lines are not always straight, they can also be roughly circular!. 
 
 
 
The cup-marked stone shown below, in the Sma’ Glen, near Crieff, Perthshire, Scotland, is situated in a large man-made concave-shaped amphitheatre in the hills, and has a prominent dumb-bell shaped cup-mark on its surface. There are some 60 cup-marks on this stone.

(Above). The dumb-bell shaped petroglyph which depicts the energy circuit. The "S" shape inside is weathered, and would originally be a slightly smaller dumb-bell shape inside the joined cup-marks. It represents one of the inside circuits of energy which make up the circuit above, as there are a number of circuits, all of them focusing into ancient burial-grounds. 
 
Eventually, I decided to map the patterns of energy around this ancient cup-marked stone in the Sma’ Glen, north of Crieff. This, as it happened, was the key to the whole system of a very large area. Pecked out of the living rock, or on free standing boulders like this one, carved on sandstone cliffs, cup-marks have been discovered world-wide and have over one hundred theories as to their purpose. 
 
Using my divining rods, I discovered that the telluric energy (vertical waves about 20 ft. wavelength), formed by the concave depression around the cup-marked boulder, are built up in a series of dumb-bell shaped layers, one of them traveling some six miles up and across the hills to a huge man-made structure, "The Druid’s Cave", entering this and flowing out of one of the interstices at the rear to a stone circle just to the north of Loch Tay, circling out across the hills to return to the stone circle, and back across the hills to the Druid’s Cave, then circling southwards, returning to the stone in the Sma Glen, neatly mirroring, on the surface of the planet, the dumb-bell shaped cup-mark on the stone. 
 
STRUCTURE OF THIS CUP-MARK LEY 
 
Below: the energy from the Foulford Inn stone (bottom right) travels clockwise north-west to a standing stone at Stonefield Farm, up to a small cave, possibly man-made, then on to The Druids Cave, definitely man-made, and further north-west to Machuim stone circle where it is changed into two circuits around Ben Lawers, through The Praying Hands of Mary in Glen Lyon, then back to the stone circle and across Loch Tay to the Druids Cave and on to the Foulford Inn stone. 
 
The straight energy ley from the island of Staffa mentioned earlier crosses this circuit at The Praying Hands of Mary. 
 
 
 
This cup-marked stone is one of the most powerful sites in the area, and is powered by the Highland Boundary Fault Zone - the north of Scotland grinding massively against the rest of the United Kingdom. The stone itself sits directly on top of the major fault. 
 
There are six burial-grounds at the outside edge of this circuit (not shewn), where the telluric energy is most powerful. That is the purpose of energy leys. 
 
 
 
Above: The Druid’s Cave, Glen Almond. This is the focal point of the telluric system, which covers much of Scotland. The circular energy ley entering this man-made cave has its wavelength and frequency altered by the clever use of the resonant qualities of the cave, giving the ley some extremely unusual and very interesting characteristics probably unknown to mainstream science.
