Through storytelling, mythology, and personal experience, she examines how this line connects ancient pagan sites, Christian shrines, and enduring Earth energies.\nThe episode expands beyond explanation into lived experience, as Colleen joins for a reflective discussion. Together, they explore what it feels like to stand on these sites, how energy is perceived and worked with, and whether mythology should be understood as symbolic, literal, or something in between.\nJanelle shares her journey into dowsing, the role of ley lines in Earth’s energetic system, and how these lines may require activation, healing, or alignment. The conversation also explores the layering of belief systems over time, and the relationship between humans and landscape as a co-creative force.\n\n🔥 Key Moments\n00:07 — Introduction and overview of the Michael–Apollo line\n02:00 — Archangel Michael, Apollo, and dragon symbolism\n03:14 — Pagan sites and Christian overlays\n04:20 — Dowsing explained and Janelle’s origin story\n07:40 — Feng Shui school and teaching journey\n07:50 — Key sites from Ireland to Italy\n12:10 — Transition into the Apollo line in Greece\n12:39 — Delphi, Athens, and Delos exploration\n17:00 — Apollo origin story and Delos mythology\n21:18 — Dragons: literal beings or energy metaphors?\n22:21 — Chit chat begins: personal experiences on the line\n25:30 — Energetic shifts and working with ley lines\n27:40 — Myth vs lived experience\n29:20 — Were these sites intentionally aligned?\n31:50 — Pagan foundations and religious layering\n33:30 — Skepticism and direct experience\n36:10 — Do landscapes shape belief—or vice versa?\n\n💬 Memorable Quotes\n“It’s a living energy—you’re working with something real in that moment.”\n“Every time I’ve worked on the line, it changes you.”\n“The land is alive—it...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/Qx71gYctu8hmD7NyHwFHkFEFqBqvfMvvBDfxiWo8EkY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9kNDMy/YzY1MWI5MTBjZjRj/NzgxNmI4NDc2YTEy/ZTZkYi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
