The Sarf Ruth is the Cornish term for Fire in the Land. It is the dragon energy in the land -- also known as ley lines -- that flow to and from sacred places such as wells, crossroads, graveyards, sacred trees, etc. This dragon energy is drawn up from ley lines by use of the stang, which in Cornish tradition is called a gwelen. Walking the ley lines is one way to walk the Crooked (serpentine) Path. Although the Sarf Ruth is well documented in England (mostly through the work of Alfred Watkins), it is a phenomenon that spans the globe, and many cultures have beliefs in energy in the land. Often old sacred sites will tend to line up along a straight track on a map. Watkins developed a theory that these alignments were created for ease of overland trekking by line of sight navigation during neolithic times and had persisted in the landscape over millennia. Dragons and serpents have long been associated with this energy, from Merlins red and white dragons battling underground, to the eastern concept of kundalini.
