Editorial:
THIS IS OUR FIRST issue under the new, open, revolving responsibilities,
self·management set·up.
For those who don't know it, we run ourselves as a democratiC collective,
letting key decisions 'emerge' during the course of our weekly meetings to
which you can invite yourself by ringing one of our 'phone numbers. Only
rarely and with reluctance do we vote and those of us who. are activists do
not demand a finely honed party line. Our commitment is largely to the
dissemination of useful information. What's changed is that up till now,
much of the work has been done by Godfrey Boyle, our founding editor,
and Sally Boyle.
Godfrey has now landed himself a lectureship in the technology faculty at
the Open University and has now indicated that he wishes to have a
somewhat less dominant role in the running of Undercurrents and relieve
us of the burden of finding him the modest salary he's been drawing from
the past few issues. In future, therefore, key functions·News Editor, Features
Editors, Reviews, Pro.duction, Distribution, and so forth will be revolving
posts, altered for each magazine according to who is available and who we
think likely to be competent. (And anyone·can become part of the deciding
group simply by·showing up often enough).·.
What we've tried to do is to maintain maximum fluidity and flexibility
without losing that small amount of Internal self. . discipline necessary to
get the magazine out reasonably regularly. It works like this: key decisions
affecting each magazine are taken at major meetings held every two
months, immediately after publication day. We carry out a post mortem on
the latest issue, review what we are doing for the new issue, and·appoint
posts for the issue after that. In effect,therefore, people will know what is
expected four months in advance. Thus our last meeting, held at People's
Habitat, reviewed issue 16, heard progress reports for the issue you're now
reading, and appointed people for issue 18.
We hope all this will give variety and continuity. Contributions should be
sent to Archway Road addressed to the title rather than the person. please.

Devereaux Towards a comprehension of the
prehistoric cosmology
Since the disc\)very of ley. in 1921 by Alfred Watkins there hove been
dozens of researchers exercising·heir own intuitive·ttem'making and
objective investigations within the ley matrix. We all stand in awe,
particularly. of·John Michell's outstanding work. Amidst the welter of this
creative, and inspirational renaissance, however, it is perhaps time to
attempt to glimpse the integrated form, however ghostly, of the ancient
understanding. Towar.ds this end I offer the followipg·notes drawn from six
yun' involvement with the subject and a number of revelatory events which
I have been fortunate enough to experience. . The Ancients made no
distinctions, as . we do, between inner and outer reality to them it was all
one continuum. They would study the objective urtiverse as part of the 'job
of understanding their psychic experience and vic·versa.
The prehistoric code we are slowly rediscovering makes it clear that the
mechanics of 'Creation were well understood. The patterns by which
formless energy manifests itself in our. time/space universe were tabulated.
The route from energy to matter was mapped. Within the ancient structures
are the proportions, Patterns and ratios that are echoed in growing things,
in shells, galaxies, planetary systems, atemic networks and so on. This
proportional and geometric information displays the synthesis of inner and
outer reality, of macrocos. mic and"microcosmic creation: the patterning of
al·nature which includes con5<:iousness as well. Amongst lI\e debris of
this former knowledge we have . the various religious ilfyphs: the 'Star of
David'; mandalas, swastikas, crosses, yin yang symbol (the central union of
two root two spirals?) etc. Each one a precis of a whole system of
understanding that "'multaneously. encompassed subjective ,and objective
experience and which is now a1m9St forgotten.
As we diScover from .the earlier work of Michell, the core of the prehistoric
cosmology was the marriage·or fusion of heaven and earth producing a
subde and asyet unclassified form of energy. The ancient structures were
actual instruments'used in the creation, Jibera·tion or distillation of this
nameless force. A variety of research, folklore, nwtn and current spasmodic
phenomena point ..........to the. foUowing uses of the su·btle energy:
subjective mi.,d·change experien·ces; objective manifestation of psychic"
entities; the fertilisation of land and seed, possibly even as a means of
levitational transport I suggest the most important of these uses would have
be·n the objet·. tive manifestation of psychic entitie …
These intelligences were known as 'gods' but we nowadays tend to refer·to
thel)1 as 'archetypes'. Virwally every ethnic , group in the world has a myth
somewhere that refers to the ancient forefathers being able to 'talk with the

gods'. It is fashionable today to explain this as being .a meeting between
the human species and extra4terrestrials who were passing by thousands of
years ago. I suggest that this theory reflects our conditioning by .
contemporary 'space·age', meehanical thought.patterns. I think the matter
is more revelatory and complex than neigl:Jbourly spacemen. The Ancients,
possessing the full knowledge of the linterface' area, between energy and
matter (or spirit and form, void and plenum, etc) were able to manifest on a
visual aural and possibly tactile level the knowledge·holders of the universe
and communicate directly with them.
The question whether these manifested entities were of a physical or
psychic nature does not arise because it is all one continuum·the paiterns
of our minds are the patterns of the"Stats. Thus the inherent wisdom of
nature regulated human affairs. ' .. This 'Golden Age' of understanding has
faded but there are still remnants of the old energy. Remnants such as
modern magical and mediumistic events; scmi·acdve standing stones;
elemental occurrences at pagan sites and·above all·the lights in the sky, the
images in the heavens, the UFOS. I wish to dweli . on UFOS for a fe",
moments because of all the current spasmodic phenomena it is they, I ,feel,
that are the most rewarding to study. That they exist, only those who have
not seen them and dl' not study the stupendous evidence 'will deny:
Some UFOS diSplay the cosmic, impersonal intelligence (lights, .colours
and symbols), a few are archetypal forms (figures); other""re every·one's
bad dream (malevolent aerial·phenomena) and many·are Our mechanical
alter egos reflected back (the 'nuts and bolts spacecraft type). Like so many
'interface phenomena theyexist'neither solely in oUr minds nor entirely in
our .. environment, .But there is a li'1k·our ' con5<:io, .. nes .. By 1967, for
example, Of an unprecedented number of people. were taking the journey
into their souls using psychedelic drugs. In 1967 more UFOS were reported
than at any other time in history. Policemen (by the dozen), Midland
housewives (by the .score), even BBC reporters and many hundreds of
other non·hallucinatory types were sighting figures, lights, crosses and
ellipsoids in the sky. In addition, most sightings occurred in areas of great
pagan sanctity.
Many lufotogists' find this connection irksome and tend to deny or ignore it
They return to their semi·scientific ramblings that have produced no hard
information about the actUal nature of UFOs in a quarter of a century's
work. This pitiful record of relatively unproductive effort makes it futile for
these people to deny .that their approach is seriously inadequate. . It is
time more inner technologists decided to identify unidentified flying
'objects' for they come within the scope of researchers.

Hills Save Your Own Seed
You don't have to buy seed in photographic packets. Laurence D. Hills
shows the ways and pitfalls of collecting your own seed. This is a much
shortened version of his excelIent pamphlet, price 50p from HORA,
Bocking, Braintree, Essex.
EVER SINCE the Cistercian monks of Coggeshall Abbey domesticaled .the
carrol in the 12th Century, we have grown the seeds that our Nation of
gardeners need. Our seedsmen spend their fives trying to stop our
vegetables returning to the weeds from which they grew. They keep our
beet from becoming Seta yu/garis maritims, a sea shore weed (wh ich is
why salt is used as 'a fertiliser for sugar beet), and our cabbages, brussels
sprouts and savoys from becomjng Brassics o/eraces, which only survives
wild on diffsand rocky islets which rabbits have never reached. Every
vegetable in every country began as a weed, just as our beet, our cabbages
and our carrots did, and each of them is struggling to get back to its past.
Our seedsmen throw out these throwbacks which they call 'rogues' to keep
our vegetables true, not only to the improvements that are our heritage
from perhaps a thousand years of gardening. butthe·very latest products of
genetical genius.
Neyer try to raise any variety that is catalogued as an 'F.!. Hybrid'. This. is
grown by seedsmen as two pure lines, often not particularly striking, but
when they are artificiallYllollinated with each other's pollen, the result has
the vigour of the first cross. This entails more work than normal seed
growing which is why these 1'.1. Hybrids are always more expensive; but
they can be worth the money. If you save seed from them this vigour is lost.
There isanother advantage apart from the saving in money. By raising our
own seed we can keep varieties in cultivation which the seed trade has
discarded despite their advantages to gardeners, and which now may
notbesold without a £100 fine because they are not on the National and
European Registers. Market gardeners prefer vegetables that can be deared
in a couplecdf days and packed off to market when the price is high.
Gardeners, however, want varieties that will last till every one in the row is
eaten, have algood flavour and be tougll and hardy through all seasons.
Peas and Beans .
These seeds involve the problem of the bees, for they can carry the pollen
from one variety to anOther and therefore create problems of race
relations. \ A few vegetabl .... such.as salsify .are .=S1P1' n·,er·]!

hybrids, produced by deliberate cross breeding and selection throughout
even Cen wries, ' and therefore it is a good ideij tg grow . only one variety
in your ga"fen. You may not be able to control your neighbours bees, but
_____________________________________________________________________ UC000: page 27

you have a safeguard. Bees hate mixing nectar and pollen. If they start off
on peas they will stick to them until they have finished the job, making a
beeline back to the hive to take on another .load.
Seedsmen simply put a hive beside one lot of antirrhinums, and another
beside the pink ones, knowing that each will stick to the jobi;, hand,
because if any worker wandered from pink to yellow, there would be a first
class row. All Trades Unionists should keep bees. So buy a ktnd Ii ke
Kelvedon Wonder, which has mildew resistance, and rapid growth so it can
be sown for succession, and put in a series of batches. Reserve a row for
seed from the first sowing, and do not pick any of its pods. As tho:.buds JO
on opening the bees will bring rnore Kelvedon Wonder pollen from the
'later sown rows and you have higll odds on keeping yooTStock true.
If you like a niaincrap, choose oh·kind and sow it twice, with an early'
variety like Meteor or Peter Pan. Reserve your row always in the first sown
batch because you are not only trying to get your peas as far as gre·n pods
for eating, but. you want to harvest some of them for drying, and that is not
easy·in sOme summers. . . Your seed row Will gradually dry off with leaves
turni.g yellow and pods ligllt brown. When·the first pods to ripen begin to
split at the lower ends, cut the pea haulms off level with the ground and
spread them on sacks or polythene bags in the' 'SUn, or in wet seasons,
hang them to dry in a shed with newspaper below to catch any shed seed.
When the pods crack crisply they can be shelled by hand into bags and'
h'ung from the shed roof to defeat mice or rats. Seed for raising needs to
breathe, so dOllar store in polythene bags, or jars.
There are three types of bean, four if you count soya beans. The first is the'

will be black dry an spl itting at the lower end. Spread them in potato
chilling trays (unwanted until Spring) with opened out Colour Supplements
on the bottoms stacked one on top of the other for free air circulation in a
dry shed. When the pods spl it and twist, shell ou t the beans by hand,
discarding any that are small or misshapen.
Daffa beans are like broad beans with smaller but more frequent pods that
point upwards instead of outwards. They are sown in the autumn in the
saa:ne way and harvested in August as·ry seed. Tic beans are round and
spring sown, with rather thinner skins, also ripening in August for storing.
Both yield about twice the crop produced by. soya beans in countries
where these do well, and more than 50 times the production of the Fiskeby
V variety in gardens where this germinated in 1974. The second type of
bean is the runner, the 'pole bean' of the USA which is not hardy and is
sown in May. Sow seed of your favourite kinds in boxes in a cold frame in
March and plant them out in early May to give the seedlings a flying start.

Gadsby & Hutton-Squire A Computer Study Of
Megalithic Alignments
'There are nine and sixty ways of constructing tribal lays, .
And every single one of them is right' Rudyard Kipling (In Neolithic Times)
It's quite easy to make.a computer hunt after leys and to check their
accuracy of their alignments. Pat Gadsby and Chris Hutton·Squire
have·been working in this area for some time. They describe what they've .
been doing and report on their preliminary findings.
In 1925 the Herefordshire antiquarian Alfred Watkins put forward the
hypothesis that the ancient sites of pre·Roman Britain were deliberately
aligned with one another. In his book·describing the hypothesis, The Old
StnJight rrsck (Gamstone 1970) he christened these alignments 'Ieys'. In the
fifty years since then his theory has never been scientific·ally tested, though
many 'ley hunters' have succeeded in establ.ishing to their 'own
satisfaction, if to nCH>ne else’s, the reality of the ley system. There were
three reasons for this omission:
i) Orthodox scientists·and archaeologists saw no reason to investigate
phenomena they 'knew' to be imaginary
ii) There was a shortage of reliable evidellGC
iii)· Before the advent of the computer, there was a natural reluctahCe to
under·take the backbreaking task of tabulating the many thousand possible
alignments . between a set of sites and calculating the 'best fit' straight lines
through them.
For example, one hundred sites·a modest number in practice·would
generate 161,700 trittds (sets of three points) and 3,921,225 retTttds (four
points). Such is the awful power of the laws of combination and
permutation. The lack of reliable data was made good by John Michell in
1974 when he published a description of the alignments that the had found
between the fifty plus surviving standing stones of the land's End peninsula
in Cornwall (The Old Stones of und's End, Gamstone). These stones,
although some of them are twelve feet high, are small welldefined sites
compared with those used by earlier less criticalley·hunters. Nevertheless,
Michell claims that they are aligned over distances pf up to ten kilometres
to 'rifle barre.I' accuracy. This display is the first independent test of his
claim.
This study is the frrst research . undertaken and it is.J:tOt yet romplete,
i .·l·f,ct·::i.f& we feel that the results obtained so far are sufficiently definite
and interesting to justify setting them before the public·at this time.

Fletcher Christopher Wren's Beehive
John Fletcher thinks he has found the seventeenth century predecessors of

design for a glass beehive . .
'IF YQU are th"""rt of poi"," who thinks all psychialljsts are mad, then

same unco·operative cast of mind. Lawyers were fervently distrusted, and
their self·serving rituals and obscure language detes.!Od, Diggers and
Levellers defended themselves successfully on many occasions in court,
and proposals were made for sefting up a community, based system of
justice and law enforc&ment, which would be run for the people by the
people, ,The medical profession, , then as now a system which preyed on
sickness rather than health, was to be reorpnised, mixing esoteric medical

the " preserve of an elite, and structured to defend and reinforce that elite.
Each community ,was to elect"and finance its own school teachers. Those
who wished to go on to higher education first had to be mature in years
and have served the community, Secondly, to avoid the creation of an
artificial academic elite which spoke its own esoteric and self·serving
language, students were to sup·port themselves throughout their university

surviior. All the radicals of the Civil War were products of that most ancient
and vener·able English tradition, now thankfully reviving, of self·education.
They firmly, believed that all formal education, whether private or state,
indoctrinates and automates, and that the only true, liberating education, is
self·education. As can be seen, the instinctive direction ,in which many
English people were , moving in the,late'I640's and early 1650's, left little
room for experts every man his own expert! Such an attitude was
exemplifiectin the field of science and technologoy, and is why the period
is so instructive and encouraging for readers of Undercurrents.

The Ley That Always Was
Below are two letters, an editorial reply and a quite separate editorial
comment on the article in UC 16, The Ley that Never Was. OriginalIy Chris
Hutton·Squire sought to show that the grand oldman of leys, Alfred
Watkins, had been less than accurate in his field work. We're printing these
letter and comments to show just what difficulties ley·hunting and inner
technologies in general present to a responsible investigator. When is a ley
not a ley? Do we need an explanation of leys before investigating them?
Can we accept purely subjective phenomena like 'ley energy'? If you're a
sceptic, these letter will fill you with delight·they confirm what you've
known all along. If you're inquisitive and open·minded, however, they're a
caution. Now read on ....
Dear Undercurrents.
I've just read Chris Hutton Squire's hatchet job on Alfred Watkins and ley
Lines in your latest Undercurrents, No 16 in the article . entitled 'The Ley
that never ""as'. It seems a very one·sided slanderous incomplete article
only slightly rescued by the Stop Press item. The Ley referred to in the
article is mentioned by Watkins in 'The Old Straight Track' on page 123
and the relevant paragraph is as follows:· ·'A church lay convenient to
verify is to be found in the map which is put at Mr O.G.S. Craw·ford's
'Andover District, an Account of Sheet 283 of the one-inch Ordinance
Map'. a monograph which contains special information invaluable to ley
hunter. Here five churches Tidcombe, Linkenholt. Facombe, Burghclere.
and Sydmonton align precisely. and on the ley are homesteads with the
ancient names of Folly Barn. Bacon's (formerly Beacon's) Farm. and
Curzon Street Farm. with fragments of present day road in approximate
alignment There are also on the map eight alignments. each with four
churches'. So here we have Watkins referring to Crawford's work without
indicating that he checked out the ley himself on the ground·' perhaps
taking Crawford"s work in·good faith. Unscientific maybe, but not the first
time a person quotes other people's work without checking out the details
themselves ·particularly If the work is favourable to their theories.
Chris Hutton Squire's article failed to mention that the Ley aligned also on
3 homesteads mentioned above and fragments of· present day road.;
Th_nay verify the ley·we have no way of knowing from Chris Hutton
Squire's article. Elsewhere in his book Watkins makes it clear that with
church's on leys that it's not the site of the church that's important. it's the
site of the earlier pre·christian ute. Often the church is built over the site,
but in other cues the site might be in the churchyard or nearby. So when
Watkins laYS 'here rIVe churches built on or near align precisely: If this is
so there is the. possibility of several tens of yards of movement in the

Elen KIRLIAN PHOTOGRAPHY
Electro·bioluminescence exists. Only interpretation and explanation for
what appears is in dispute. Richard Elen gives details of the construction of
a simple device.
THERE HAS been a areat deal of meardI work performed in the US and the
Soviet Union Into Kirlian Photography, a method developed by S.D. Kirlian
and associates in the USSR for the investigation of phenomena that bear a
strong relationship to the reports of 'auraS' reported by psychics. The aim of
this article is to describe a method of producing a reasonably simple device
that can be used to e""mine these phenomena. The design itself b taken
from Psychoenergetic Handbook Nr. 1, ed. Earl Lane, publbh·ed by And/
Or, San Francisco. The original device was designed by Larry Amos and
Jim H)ckman, and works very effectively. in addition tothe generator itself,
the e·perimenler will rieed 10 make a frame 10 holci a suitable film in
position over Ihe electrode. Any type of film can be used: best results will
probably be obtain·ed by using a large film size such as 120. roll·fiIm, as
the method is to produce a discharge directly on to the film. For this
reason, 35mm may provide too small an image·forming area. Film shooid
be fi·ed emulsion side up on the electrode. Do not allow anything 10
contacl the electrode e·cept for the film and the . object to be
photographed. Having positioned the film on the electrode, the object
should be placed directly on the film. If you are using a small object such
as a leaf or a crystal, it must be connected to the earth point of The
famous 'phantom leaf' photo. The top of the leaf was cut off before the
photo was recorded, but it still appears, suggesting an 'energy body'. the
machine, otherwise no discharge will be obserVed. In the case of
photographing a human being, there will be no need for an·earth lead, as
there' will be sufficient leakage to ground.
When e·perimenting, keep a full record of the conditions under which the
photograph is taken, as y<Ju will find that the surrounding
conditionstemperature, humidjty, and so on·and the settings of the controls
will cause alterations of the image. It will be useful to number each shot by
some means so thaI il can be compared later wilh notes made at the time.
This could be done by scratching a number in the corner of the frame.
Although good results can be obtained with black and white film stock,
you will probably find that colour film gives more opportunity for detailed
examination of the resulting image, as very distinct coloors will be
observed in ,different parts of Ihe discharge.
A retatively slow speed film, such as 64 ASA will probably give best
results, alth,ough the best speed should be determined by experiment,·
Alternative to the method described above, you can·usc a normal camera' .

Ruth Elliott Women and·Alternative Technology
In the type of social set'up AT makes possible, the role of women'·and of
men·becomes tr;lnsformed: Ruth Elliott shows the alienating effects of the
Industrial Revolution and how we have yet to break out. , : • ; The AT
movement has only just begun to address itielf to some aspe·ts of the yast
problem area of te·hnology and sodal reLations. One aspect that has been'
notably neglected is the relationship . between men and women, the social
and technical division of labour between the sexes.
Way back in summer 1973 the issue was first raised in the pages of
Undercurrents when Lyn Gambles wrote: "If all the women in the
alternative Stience and technology movement end up building all the
windmills, then no·one will be liberated." But in the intervening period
there had been surprisingly little debate. Diana Manning's crfticisms of the
. Bradford Conference (UC 14)·that there was Iinle or no discussion of why
so few women are interested in technology or of issues like domestic work
and child care·can safely be generalised to the AT world as a whole. Rather
than adding to such accusations of male·chauvinist·insensitivity however,
this article is "c:om;erned to open up a more constru·tiYe debate by looking
at some of the historical reasons underlying this . present state of affairs and
exploring their implications for future strategy.
In many ways it is perhaps not surprising that women have been very much
on the fringe, since AT has all too often been seen as synonymous' with
hardware, and hardware is the hallowed province of the male. The AT
world, like its counterpart in conventional technology, is very male; It is
men who experimentJ innovate, harness and tame natural forces in the
service of human needs, and who are generally at the forefront of the battle
for survival; women, where they are involved, perform 'back up' or
'service' . roles or concern themselves with 'natural' processes of
child·rearing or food pro·. duction. They appear to be very dependent for
their surviyal on the technical skill and prowess of mel).
Perhaps the immediate defensive response of some people is that this
division of labour is natural and ineyitable, and biologically preordained.
The very popularity of such myths is indeed potent evidence of the way in .
which the history of women has been distorted in the narne of upholding
male supremacy. But fortunately the mythical nature of these arguments
can be demonstrated if we pay some attention to the findings of
anthropological research. As Lee Comer . has commented of pre·literate
societies' : "There is hardly a sinKie society which existed (or exists) by
hunting alone. Hunting w", most.often a precarious and fruitless exercise
and at bes.! provided an addition to the staple yegetable diet, . and skins
and materials from which to make tools. These societies depended __

Screeton Astrology On The Ground: The
Terrestrial Zodiacs
With wide publicity given by the medino the new awareness that our
prehistoric anceston were not skin·clad, woad·painted savages, but skilled
mathematicians and surveyon, the concepts of geometrically·sophisticated
stone circles as posited by Prof. A. Thom and the existence of aligned
prehistoric monuments, the leys, as redisCovered by Alfred Watkins, have
allowed a new spirit of interpretation of the past. Related, with apparent
equal importance are the telT8Strial zodiacs·astrological designs evolving
across the countryside. Pliul Screeton, author of Quicksilver Heritage and
former editor of The Ley Hunter, here presents the fullest account yet
published of the unfolding tej)estry of our landscape,
MRS KATHERINE Maltwood was pottering around the GlaStonbwry area
when she was struck with a thought that may yet turn out to be as profound
as Newton's observation of the falling apple or the Duke of Edinburgh's
recurring obsession with his ebbing bath water, She had stumbled upon an
outline of a zodiacal sign'. Thus w<pte Geoffrey Moorhouse in an article.
Despite articulate commentaries in occult magazines and the occasional
'serious' newspaper or magazi.ne, terrestrial zodiacs are still not part of the
general public consciousness. Geomancy is the study of sacred history and
leys have become a lynch pin. Important as they are, they have vastly
overshadowed research into terrestrial zodiacs and this article is designed
to encourage a partial redressing of the balance; also consolidate the view
that there may be laid across Britain·likely the whole world·a system of
designs based upon astronomical relationships designedin these forms and
with sites named by assoclatlon in the landscape.
Too many people ...no have vaguely come across the subject believe the
Somerset Giants around Glastonbury must, even if they considered their
"possible validity, be a freak construc·tion. Mrs Maltwood wrote
extenSively upon the subject, but her discovery is far from unique, so let
me restart at another point ...
Excuse me, but. .. ."
There was a knock at the door. The short, wiry, mid·30s stranger with
rainbedraggled hair, Peter Wyngarde·style moustAche and accompanied by
a deerhoundJ announced with abrupt 3.5suredness that he had discovered
a County Durham terrestrial zodiac. By letter author John Michell had
suggested he get in touch with me a·d he had literally jumped straighi into
his Land Rover and driven down to Hartlepool from North·West Durh'lJ1l."

efficacy of such a myopic approach is questionable for three main reasons.
