The Dragon Line
According to Dr. Patrick MacManaway, Dragon Lines, or earth energy lines “are the pathways of electromagnetism and life-force that spread like a web across the surface of the planet.” Human beings have been drawn to these potent energy lines for eons, especially where the currents intersect and the energies are heightened. When experienced during a visit, ceremony or pilgrimage, one is deeply nourished on a physical, cellular level that often gets translated into spiritual awakening and transformation.
A powerful earth energy line lies in southern England, most commonly known as the Dragon Line. Also called the Mary Michael Way, it enters England in the southwest corner of Cornwall, passes through St Michael’s Mount as it weaves its serpentine path along the solar alignment of St Michael through Glastonbury and Avebury, all the way to the east coast in Norfolk. As it weaves and winds, it passes through varying landscapes and terrain to connect significant and powerful sacred sites.
In the late 1980s Paul Broadhurst and Hamish Miller, two researchers into ancient mysteries, dowsed and revealed this ancient and powerful ley line. They shared their journey and findings in their informative book, The Sun and the Serpent.
They found that the high points of tors and mumps stand tall in an intriguing alignment with the rising sun on the morning of Beltane in early May. As the sun touches the tops of these natural masculine monuments, the feminine earth energy, activated by the warmth and light, reawakens and winds its way to reinvigorate the dormant land. The masculine and feminine energies come together to work in harmony, in sync with the cycles of the Sun and Earth, and give confidence to the continuation of the cycle of life, harvest, and the seasons.

Today, a pilgrimage path follows these earth energy currents from Cornwall to Norfolk. It takes us through villages and towns, across moors and woodland, connecting us with ancient stone circles, monolithic stones, monuments, and early Christian churches dedicated to St Michael and St Mary. Much like the more well known Camino de Santiago on the European continent, the Dragon Line invites us to leave the comfort and security of our lives and venture onto a pilgrimage path that will guide and provide for us every step of the way and offer us the unexpected, and often miraculous gifts from the path.
Exactly in the middle lies the ancient stone circle of Avebury, and just west, lies the spiritual center of the land of Avalon, Glastonbury. The prominent Glastonbury Tor, one of the many places where the alignment of St Michael intersects with the dragon energy of Mary, powerfully guides us into this legendary place of miracles and magic.
I invite you to walk with me into Glastonbury along this ancient and powerful path. We will walk the 32+ mile section from Taunton into Glastonbury over 5 days through the Somerset Levels along public footpaths, riverways, and country lanes, through countryside, fields, farms and villages, with Burrowbridge Mump and Glastonbury Tor standing out on the horizon to guide our way.
Our pilgrimage will be the outer journey to reconnect with the inner sacred feminine within each of us. We will walk the serpentine Mary path that winds its way around and through this beautiful and ancient land. This outer feminine energy ley line that guides the path will call on us to remember who we are as the embodiment of the divine feminine. We will look below the obvious and visible for the signs, symbols and expressions of the ancient energies that are buried in the rocks, buildings and monuments. We will open up to see what is “hidden in plain sight” and experience the energy currents that are as ancient as the land itself. We will even look at the naming of this alignment and delve into the relationship between Michael and the sacred masculine, as well as Mary and the divine feminine.
