The Leyline Project exhibition at Reykjavik Art Museum

Leyhunter: I am new to this and was hoping someone has some knowledge of the intriguing phenomena of Ley lines…  I know they’ve been talked about in the North, suggesting that the Snæfellsjökull glacier in Iceland is a supposed meeting post of ley lines connected with the pyramids in Egypt as well as Machu Picchu in Peru. But how can I find them?

TheLeylineProject: To detect Ley lines you can use dowsing rods like one uses to finding water or minerals… Rods can be Y shaped or L shaped or you can use pendulums. The earth is divided into a grid pattern of different types of energy fields; these are called the Curry and the Hartmann field. The Curry lines, named after German physician Manfred Curry, run -45 degrees and 45 degrees of north, forming a grid where each square is about four meters. The lines themselves are said to be about 40 cm wide. The Hartmann lines are named after the German physician Ernst Hartmann. The widths are said to vary over the day and the moon’s monthly cycle (so-called earth-tides). Where two Curry lines cross, a Curry cross is defined.
To find these grids, it is best to use a compass and mark out the directions of interest. Once this is completed the energy fields are easily found. You can use these same principles within your house to find where the Ley lines are and make sure that your bed is not under one of these negative lines.

Leyhunter: Can these energies be harmful?

TheLeylineProject:  Generally the Ley lines are thought to be good for you and it depends on how you use them. A cat for example makes use of the Curry lines, as they shrink the aura of the cat. This can be helpful for a cat when hunting a mouse or as cats tend to want to find hide-outs. These spots can however be harmful or pathological for humans.

Leyhunter: What about the electromagnetism and Wi-Fi energies?

TheLeylineProject:  The electric magnetism and Wi-Fi are said to influence the human body, especially if these energies aren’t balanced right. In buildings the whole balance can be disturbed if high voltage cables and water pipes have been placed incorrectly from the ground. Leaving ‘ghosts’ or bad energies in certain areas, which are difficult to track and get rid of.
There are however several types of shields one can use to isolate or protect oneself from all kinds of energies. Allegedly, wearing jewelry can also help.

Leyhunter: But isn’t there some connection with Ley lines and ancient stone monuments?

TheLeylineProject:  Yes, Ley lines are alleged alignments of a number of places of geographical interest, such as ancient monuments, “trojaborg” labyrinth, stone circles and megaliths. They withhold strong energies and are connected all over the globe. Churches built before 1750 have Ley lines running through them because they are built on land previously used for occult ceremonies.

Leyhunter: Thank you for your helpful information. Hopefully I will become skilled in exploring all these energy lines.

 

 

In 2010, artists Steingrimur Eyfjord (IS/NO) and Ulrika Sparre (SE) initiated the The Leyline Project, which was formally established in 2012 as a part of (I)ndependent People at Reykjavik Art Festival. The artists and their collaborators set out to research Ley lines, its theory, history and functions as well as their related sub-cultures. Realized through collective thinking, the project includes several other participants including curator Kristín Dagmar, composer Áki Ásgeirsson and polytechnic engineer, inventor and musician, Guðlaugur K. Óttarsson.

Leylines in Snæfellsnes

The Leyline project conducted an excursion finding out more about the glacier Snæfellsjökull. In Iceland the most renowned location for ley lines is Snæfellsjökull, that has for a long time been believed to hold mystical powers. The glacier has been a never-ending source of inspiration for poets and artists from around the world. Indeed, more than a few people say they feel a powerful influence from the glacier and consider it to be one of the world’s seven most potent energy sources. The glacier is a supposed meeting point of ley lines, lines on both sides of Hellnar connect with the pyramids in Egypt and in Machu Picchu.

 

During this research trip we have gathered the material available to take part of in our space at Reykjavik Art Museum.

 

 

No we are in Snæfellsnes, Ulrika, Kristin and Steingrimur. Overlooking the sea with the glacier behind.

Underneath one can see how the leylines cross over the glacier. Also the Big troll is there (blue spot) and we will tomorrow look for his nephews.

The cat experiment at Reykjavik Art Museum


Today we brought the cat to Reykjavik Art Museum to help us find the bad currylines.

Ulrika also spent much time distinguishing the Curry & Hartmann lines by using dowsing rods.

 

We also found a harmful and bad energy circle in the space.

Hunting ghosts at Reykjavik Art Museum

Guðlaugur Kristinn Óttarsson, Icelandic guitar player, mathematician, inventor, practising polytechnic engineer, lecturer and the author of several scientific papers, ghostbusted* the Reykjavik Art Museum with interesting findings.

* Ghostbusting determines whether or not a house is haunted by reading its electromagnetic field. Electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) is a form of energy emitted and absorbed by charged particles, which exhibits wave-like behavior as it travels through space. EMR has both electric and magnetic field components, which stand in a fixed ratio of intensity to each other, and which oscillate in phase perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of energy and wave propagation.

Leading from a high-voltage transmission line in the street outside the museum, a measuring energy leads up to Gallery D at the Reykjavik Art Museum. Mostly detected by floor-level of the south wall, decreasing by the west wall. Within the space itself, vertical streams lead throughout the space which shoot directly up and down the body, through a persons head.

Excursions in Sweden

I have taken part in some excursions investigating energies and Leylines in the area of Stockholm, here is a tour to the area of Djurgården with JiS (Jordstrålningsällskapet i Stockholm).

 

Leyline running on the leftside over of the parkinglot.

 

In the map you can see how a Ley line (Red) is running straight through the Modern museum in Stockholm.

 

As well as the pink line running from the Estonia monument straight into the parkinglot above.

 

In a direction where many people has set their minds and thoughts a Leyline eventually accur, as for the Estonia monument. A Leyline with a weak frequence, however possilbe to measure.

 

 

 

Crossing of Curry energyline and Hartmann energyline.

 

 

“Seg energi” – Rubbery energy – not moving energy in Djurgården/Stockholm.

 

 

 

The tour made at Djurgården March 2012.

The Leyline Project

The Ley-Line-Project was developed in 2011 by a core group of artists and curators from Iceland, Sweden and Norway; Ulrika Sparre (SE) and Steingrimur Eyfjord (IS/NO) curatorial team Diana Kaur (SE), Kristín Dagmar Jóhannesdóttir and Klara Þórhallsdóttir (IS). In Island and during the Reykjavik Artfestival the project is realized through collective thinking and includes apart from Ulrika & Steingrimur several other participants, including curator Kristín Dagmar Jóhannesdóttir, Áki Ásgeirsson composer and Guðlaugur K. Óttarsson, polytechnic engineer, inventor and musician.

In art history you can find how artists such as Richard Long or Joseph Boys have investigated ley lines in works such as A line made by walking from 1971 and Unbetitelt, undatiert, Datierungsvorschlag, 1974. Examples of ambitious research projects that have inspired us are for instance the study by two British dowsers: Captain F.L.M. Boothby and Reginald A. Smith, Keeper of the British and Roman Antiquities of the British Museum, who in the 1930s linked the appearance of prehistoric sites such as earthworks, barrows and prehistoric temples, with underground streams and magnetic currents. In Sweden you can find how Ulla and John Hamilton have done similar research and discoveries when examining ancient stone monuments and burial sites in Sweden.

Dowsing rods

Artists Ulrika Sparre and Steingrimur Eyfjord met during an Artist-in-residence at NK Dale in Norway 2010. Our practices are in different ways based around notions of the immaterial, spiritual and the mythological, though there is a considerable difference and variation in how it is dealt with and visualized.

We decided to initiate a collaborative project and at some point the theme of Ley lines came up.

 

The existence of ley lines was suggested in 1921 by amateur archaeologist Alfred Watkins in The Old Straight Track.

Ley lines are alleged alignments of a number of places of geographical interest, such as ancient monuments and megaliths that are thought by certain adherents to dowsing and New Age beliefs to have spiritual power, psychic or mystical energy.

 

In order to find and research energies s.a. leylines, curry crosses, hartman crosses and other earth energies you need to use a dowsing rod, pendel or other tools that reacts on your body.

Here is an instruction taken from the book; Jordstrålning Hälsa och Forntida vetande Dan Mattsson (1991). How to make your own rods from a metal hanger.

 

 

Otto Edler von Graeve (July 22, 1872 – January 10, 1948) was a German divining rod proponent.

 

In April 2011 I visited Ale Stenar where a famous Ley line is running all the way to Lunds Cathedral.
Trip 1.1

 

Ley-lines are positive energy lines at a frequency of 9.87 Hz. Straight through the churches built before 1750 there are such lines. Another examined object is Ale Stenar / Ales stones, a ship barrow located on Kåseberga ridge in southern Sweden, overlooking sea and land. The function of the Stone ship has been interpreted as an ancient calendar. The bow is pointing straight towards the setting sun at the summer solstice and the stern points to the rising sun at winter solstice. The stones in the bow and stern are different from the other, when they consist of quartz light. The energy is neutral. The other 56 blocks are alternately positive and negative energy.

A ley line is based on the ninth stone on the north side of the 341 ° direction. The line continues from Ales stones to Dalby church and the Cathedral in Lund. The hill where Ales stones are located is an ancient icing, where mud and sand sediments have been stored. This formation serves as a battery where the stones accumulate energy, amplify and radiate it. This makes the stones a kind of a power plant. The age is approximately 4400 years.
