What is a ``ley line''? My OED doesn't give much of a clue. They give ``ley'' as an archaic variant of ``lee'' or ``lay''; ``lee'' generally means ``sheltered'', and ``lay'' can mean ``a lake or pool,'' ``a hireling,'' ``a song,'' ``a bill or reckoning,'' and dozens of others. Finally we find ``the way, position, or direction in which something is laid or lies (esp. said of country); disposition or arrangement with respect to something.'' Well, is this relevant? With respect to what would the arrangement of a ``ley line'' be? What does it mean?
