The Martin-Anne Line: from the Scilly Isles to the east coast of Italy

Posted on May 28, 2009September 8, 2026 By Gwas No Comments on The Martin-Anne Line: from the Scilly Isles to the east coast of Italy
Other reports

I think I may have identified a major telluric current or ley line going from St.Martin’s church on the northern island of the Scilly Isles, through Mont St.Michel’s crypt dedicated to St.Martin, and on south-east through France and into northern Italy. The line finally spirals to a halt at Minerbio. I wonder if anyone knows of any book or resource that mentions this line? I’d love to know if it has been dowsed yet. I don’t yet know the significance of many of the names and surroundings of these places, but there does seem to be some coherence in their positioning.

“Minerbio is a municipality in the Province of Bologna in the Italian region Emilia-Romagna, located about 15 km northeast of Bologna.” [wikipedia].

Unlike the Mary/Michael Line I haven’t come across too many megalithic sites along this line. However, now that I have the line in a satisfactory position in Google Maps I will do some more investigation of each place and its surrounding area.

I also suspect that a line could be drawn in England linking St.Martin sites here. Whenever I’m scouring a map for megalithic sites I keep coming across a ‘Martin’ place name or church dedication. Up until now I’ve passed the temptation by.

Sites bearing the name ‘Anne’ or ‘Anna’ weave in and around the areas with the ‘Martin’ names. Often we will get Saint Jean (St.John) or Saint Michel (St.Michael) instead of Martin, but I believe the three are virtually interchangeable. I also wonder is St.Germain is akin to St.George? There are a few San Giorgio place names as we arrive at the end of the line in Italy.

A very important conjunction seems to occur at a place called Santa Maria di Maddalena. This appears to be the confluence point where the Po River bends the ley line southwards slightly along the river’s course. At Santa Maria Di Maddalena there is what seems to me to be a spiral of places and churches that curl neatly into an energetic power centre. Possibly this line emerges from or terminates here. This needs to be tested out.

List of sites from North West to South East:-

  1. St.Martin’s church – Isles of Scilly, England.
  2. Mont St.Michel – crypt of St.Martin, 48°38′08″N 1°30′40″W
  3. Sainte-Anne – Cotes D’Armour, Brittany.
  4. St Martin de Landelles – 48:32:44N 1:10:20W
  5. Sainte-Anne, near Mayenne, Cotes D’Armour, Brittany.
  6. St Germain de Coulamer
  7. Mont Saint Jean
  8. Saint-Jean d’Assé
  9. Saint-Michel de Chavaignes.
  10. La Croix Mignon – a conjunction of roads
  11. Le Rond Point – another large conjunction of roads.
  12. Notre Dame de Galle – The site of the forges of Chaussade, the Augustine convent, the foundations of the old chateau. The Fraicte tower (ruins). The chapel of Notre Dame de Galle (ruins).
  13. St Martin sur Nohain – church
  14. Saint Columbe des Bois
  15. St Martin de Commune
  16. Notre Dame, Chalon-sur-Saône, France.
  17. Saint Germain du Bois
  18. St Martin du Mont
  19. La Chapelle d’Abondance
  20. Madonna di Luciago
  21. San Sepolcro
  22. San Martino, Italy.
  23. Church of San Martino, Treviglio, Italy.
  24. Fomovo San Giovanni
  25. Santa Maria
  26. San Martino Gusnago
  27. San Giorgio di Mantova
  28. Santa Maria di Maddalena
  29. San Martino
  30. Minerbo – I think this might be a variation of Minerva, the goddess of light and knowledge. It is the final named place in the spiral that ends the Martin line.

I will have to go and dowse as many of the places in this line as I can to verify its existence, but at the moment it seems to be a very promising hypothesis to me. There are so many correlations with the saints that are commonly associated with earth energy: Anne, Mary, Michael, George, John, Martin and Germain. It sounds like ‘The Famous 5’ meets ‘The Jackson 5’ !
