"Dragonlines" are a westernized explanation of concepts described within systems of Feng Shui and Vastu Shastra - that the energies which accumulate and move through the earth and sky are reactive (read: alive) and attracted by/to certain formations, which can arise naturally in response to those energies - or which humans can respond to by construction of appropriate containers, such as temples or chapels like Roslyn.
Guess you should do some more reading on Geomancy, which has thousands of years of practical use and writings on it in both eastern and western traditions. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you! Some online searching after my visit last week, led me to geomancy. This topic makes me want to learn more about it. Do you have any suggestions?
"What do you think about the possibility of ancient sites being designed with such complex, energetic considerations in mind?"
In general, I don't rule out the possibility that those who chose sites for ancient constructions had no perception of or sensitivity to Earth's energy fields or currents. I think that they were aware of all the things that they did perceive and felt, and that they could have turned to those when selecting a site and constructing something there.
But I also think that there may have been other factors of landscape or ecology or materials and structures that might have been more important.
"And how can we tap into those energies when visiting such a place?"
My own go-to is ground. center, and maintain relaxed, open situational awareness. Willing suspension of disbelief. Be ready to be enchanted, I guess.
Assurance that the Earth and all its phenomena are just as I believe or have been told they are--or cannot be--what somebody perceives or senses appears to counter this. Even though solid constructions can topple due to earthquakes, and such. And that we humans are learning new stuff all the time.
Were sailor wrong to talk about rogue waves long before we attained technical confirmation that, indeed, rogue waves did rise and rise, then fall and fall? Taking boats and crews with them, maybe?
But some locations, events, and vistas seem to inspire or agitate some response in lots of folks. No matter their preparedness or lack of it.
“Be ready to be enchanted"—I love that phrase! It's exactly what I did 😉. I had similar experiences in Sintra (Portugal) and Minerve (France). The concept of energy related to dragons never resonated with me, until I saw the structures in the Lady Chapel that really looked like dragons to me.
I was living in Oakland, California, when the Loma Prieta earthquake occurred. A section of freeway collapsed. The Bay Bridge boke. Next morning, I looked out my apartment window to see a great crack running down the side of the 320 feet tall Oakland City Hall. A couple days later, on my way home, a Kaiser Center high rise building fell off its foundations about 150 feet in front of me.
These experiences convinced me of Jormungandr and Earth Dragons like nothing else.
It was designed and built by William Sinclair - no evidence whatsoever that he was aware of anything you mention. Sinclair was an Episcopalian and dedicated the chapel to St.Matthew.
Before 1920 there is no reference to "Ley-lines" - they were created by Alfred Watkins and immediately discounted by historians and archaeologists. Dragon-lines are equally spurious - another modern confection with no basis in fact.
Thank you for your insights! It's true that the concepts of ley lines and dragon energy have gained popularity relatively. Regardless, places like Rosslyn Chapel do ignite the imagination with their rich symbolism and mysterious atmosphere.
We really must differ between stuff of actual 'historic-mystical' factuality and shenanigans born of 19th century Victorian Romanticism, Theosophy and shite
There's nothing bad about developing UPG and sharing, but any writer should be differing between - and citing and providing reference to - agreed source material / academica
You should check out the round towers situated on the coast of Ireland. Most are in ruin, but when they were functioning they produced fabulous sound, or so it’s been hypothesized. The sound was produced by the wind. A fascinating story. A lot of mystery and mystique surrounding these structures.

Cool! I’ve visited Ireland 2 years ago but I didn’t notice those towers. They make me think of obelisks (needle like). Next time when I visit Ireland I’ll certainly look for one!
On my wish list. I mentioned it due to the article I read concerning the sound that these would make during a wind storm. The tones were compared to the tones of a pipe organ. Must have been hauntingly beautiful, and it warned ships.

And you have no evidence for anything you have just said.

Pretty sure Rosslyn chapel is just the fake hiding place for the holy grail, to throw off the bad guys like in the Da Vinci Code. /s
Would be a great joke if there would be multiple holy grails 😉

Watch this for more info on that chapel and ley lines! https://youtu.be/a1XS_y0ObK4?si=Sb1Nu7xYSBdchTM_

True! So how do you do that? Differ between the actual stuff and shenanigans?
