Saint
Méen
The Ley Line Group was
visiting Belgium to experience spiritual
and inspiring phenomena
throughout the countryside.
Belgium is a country with many
very special places.
We were not expecting a
special place of healing,
when we went to visit Brûly de
Pesche,
near the nice but plain city
of Couvin.
We found the healing well of
Saint Méen.
The healing well of
Saint Méen.
Every day
inhabitants of the surrounding villages and cities
are coming here to
fill their bottles and jerrycans.
Saint Méen lived long ago in
the city of Attigny,
50 kilometres South of Brûly
de Pesche.
He came from a Celtic family.
The family was exiled
out of England by the invading
tribes of Saxons and Angles.
He lived approximately from
520 to 610 AC
and is buried in the cloistre
of Gaël, south of Rennes,
where the village is named
after Saint Méen.
During his lifetime he healed
many ill people
and after his death he was
directly seen as a saint.
Specially illnesses of the
skin are being healed.
At that time there were many
people suffering from leprosy.
In the church of Brûly
de Pesche the altar of Saint Méen takes
the rightside of
the church.
The Ley Line Group
was visiting the church and measured no strong energies,
accept for the energies
to be expected inside a holy place
and the normal
earth energies.
Still the place is
very impressive and solemn.
The church dedicated to Saint
Méen was built in 1855
and seems to have replaced a
much older place,
of which there was no sensitive
impression.
The veneration of Saint Méen was
alive around this place for centuries,
so there must have been an
earlier place of veneration.
Saint Méen was very much
involved in the development of the vast areas
of forest in the North of
France and the South of Belgium.
So it is possible that a
forest sanctuary was his place of veneration.
This is more likely because
those missionaries did built their sanctuaries
upon the ancient sanctuaries
of the pre Christian religion.
There is a story about Saint
Méen chasing away
and converting the "heathen"
government at that time.
The healing well was dedicated
in 1865.
It seems that local nobility
were opposed against the usage of the well.
In 1938 the well got the shape
it has today.

The benches around
the well are suited to have a silent moment.
The Ley Line Group
take some time here.
We asked people visiting the
well
what they are going to use the
water for.
All of them said:"it is
holy water".
Around the healing well we found strong energies
along two north-south routes,
as if there are two wells, this one and another one more
to the West.
