Ley line
A claimed alignment of ancient sites or landmarks that some people treat as a map of special paths or energy.
Ley lines began as an idea about alignments across the landscape. Later New Age writing added “energy” meanings the original proposal did not require.
Map overlays can look persuasive; check whether alignments exceed chance before treating them as design.
