DIY Mystical Energy Smuggling

"You didn't exactly ask for it but Chelsea's talking about it anyway: It's HOBBY LOBBY!!! In less weird 2017 news stories and more mystical weird stuff, Cristina talks about lay lines and how they're definitely caused by wizard aliens."

In 1922, Alfred Watkins published a book charting straight lines across Britain that connect important monuments and religious/historic sites. Called ley because so many places on his map had that syllable in, it was originally hypothesized by Watkins that it was deliberate, but mundane, planning. However, if it stopped there, it wouldn't be in the purview of this podcast.

Ley lines, as they are popularly known, are lines of mystical power, thought the source of the power depends on your beliefs. The sites mark where the power is greatest and where rituals can be done. However, dark magic will ruin it for everybody.

It should be noted that this doesn't just apply to such sites. You can do the same thing to pizza places.

Hobby Lobby is an American craft store, run by a far-right CEO. So far-right that he started up a biblical history museum in Washington, D.C.

To give it something to display-other than statues of humans frolicking with dinosaurs, they smuggled in clay tablets from Iraq and shipped to the US labeled "tiles". 55,000 tablets were bought, but only 38.000 arrived. Mostly the tablets (the ones that Hobby Lobby admitted to having) were paperwork and incantations, but it's possible some of the ones that weren't found had biblical significance. Many of the tablets came from Irisagrig, a lost city that may never be found due to black marketeers, many who have ties to ISIS, looted it.

Hobby Lobby was caught in 2009 and was forced to begin the process of returning the items as well as pay double the amount they paid.
