I toured Rosslyn Chapel, famous from The Da Vinci Code and beloved by many in my community. The ley lines are strong. The carvings are wild and beautiful, especially the many Green Man faces. Yet it wasn't my spot. Later on the trip, Glastonbury and the Chalice Well felt like home. This contrast taught me a lot about energetic affinity.

Why it matters
A site can be powerful and still not be your medicine. Travel gets easier and richer when we trust our direct felt sense. Recommendations are useful, yet your own alignment is the compass that counts.

Highlights

• Power vs. affinity: respecting a place even when it is not for you

• Green Man carvings and nature motifs inside a Christian chapel

• Using comparisons to learn your preferences, like Glastonbury vs. Rosslyn

• Building a personal map of places that nourish you

Practical tips

• Do a quick check in your body before planning long visits or ceremonies

• If a friend's taste aligns with yours, weight their recs more heavily

• Allow spacious timing so you can leave early or linger as needed

• Pair busy sites with nearby nature where you can recalibrate

Invitation
Trust your senses. Let yourself love what loves you back. Your shamanic experience is one true layer. Someone else may meet a different one.
