🎙️ Episode Summary In Episode 15 of The Alighted Way, Janelle continues her Dragon Stories series with a journey along one of the great energy lines of the British Isles. After dipping a toe into the Michael–Apollo line in Ireland back in Episode 11, she widens her exploration to the Michael and Mary line—a roughly 350-mile alignment that runs across southern England from St Michael’s Mount in Cornwall to the Norfolk coast. Weaving together folklore and hands-on energy work, Janelle traces how this line was described by Alfred Watkins and later mapped through the dowsing research of John Michell and of Broadhurst and Miller. She shares her own 2017 pilgrimage to four crossing points—St Michael’s Mount, Cadbury Castle, Glastonbury, and Avebury—where the masculine Michael current and the feminine Mary current meet at stone circles, churches, and ancient chambers. Along the way she follows the threads of Arthurian legend, from Cadbury Castle’s claim as Camelot to Joseph of Arimathea, the Holy Grail, and the graves said to lie beneath Glastonbury Abbey. The episode closes with the earth chakras, Glastonbury’s healing springs, and Avebury’s serpent temple—balancing the documented history of these places with the living, personal experience of working with their energy. 🔥 Key Moments 00:08 — Welcome back and recap: Ireland, Skellig Michael, and the Michael–Apollo line from Episode 1101:40 — Introducing the Michael and Mary line: ~350 miles from St Michael’s Mount to Hopton in Norfolk02:50 — Mapping the line: Alfred Watkins, John Michell, and the dowsing work of Broadhurst and Miller04:20 — St Michael’s Mount as the meeting place of the two lines, and how the masculine and feminine currents weave together05:52 — The crossing points and Janelle’s route: St Michael’s Mount, Cadbury Castle, Glastonbury, and Avebury07:30 — Cadbury Castle and Camelot: a King Arthur rabbit hole through Joseph of Arimathea, Jesus, and the Holy Grail at Avalon11:09 — Arthur’s reburial at the high altar where Michael and Mary cross, plus a detour to Tintagel and St Nectan’s Glen14:30 — Back to Glastonbury: the Wattle Church, Joseph’s staff, and the Holy Thorn tree16:29 — The chakras of the earth: the colours, the “heart chakra of the world,” and Glastonbury’s red and white springs19:30 — The Tor, the druids’ Dragon Path, and Avebury: the world’s largest stone circle and serpent temple21:43 — Apollo, Leto, and Delos: the rare three-current crossings, reflections on energy exchange, and closing thoughts💬 Memorable Quotes “I went from toe dipping in Ireland to immersing myself, up to my thighs, in England.”“It has been suggested that Glastonbury may be the heart chakra for the world.”🪶 Themes Explored Dragon & Ley Lines • The Michael and Mary Line • Sacred Sites of England • Arthurian Legend & the Holy Grail • Earth Chakras & Energy Work • Masculine & Feminine Currents 💠 Takeaway Message Sacred places hold both a documented history and a felt presence, and the two need not compete. Whether the Michael and Mary line is read as folklore, as dowsed energy, or as the shared memory of the people who marked these sites over thousands of years, walking it with curiosity and respect changes something. Sometimes the land supports us; sometimes we are invited to help bring its energy back online. Either way, the invitation is the same—to show up, pay attention, and let these places meet us halfway. 🔗 Mentions The Michael and Mary line — southern England ley line (~350 miles)Alfred Watkins — early writing on ley lines and alignmentsJohn Michell, and Broadhurst & Miller — dowsing research and books (1989, 2000)St Michael’s Mount, Cornwall — where the two lines meetCadbury Castle — possible site of CamelotGlastonbury — Abbey, Chalice Well, White Spring, the Tor, Magdalene Chapel, and the Holy Thorn treeTintagel and Merlin’s Cave; St Nectan’s GlenAvebury Stone Circle — serpent temple, surveyed by William Stukeley in 1724Joseph of Arimathea, King Arthur, and the Holy GrailDelos, Greece — Apollo, Leto, and the three earth-current crossingsIntroductory Dragon Course — available now at thealightedway.com ✨ Call to Action If this episode stirred your curiosity, share The Alighted Way with someone who loves sacred places, old stories, and the energy that runs beneath them.
