In my novel, The Broken Seal, magic flows through two channels:
1. through the earth, a la Ley and
2. through the bdoy, a la chakra.
Originally, the idea was to have the energy beneath the earth a quiet thing, hence sealed, but once the plot began to move and lore needed names and devices, it became apparent that Ley was needed to drive forward some pieces--and so the lifeblood of the planet was introduced.
What I want to discuss is the way I incorporate planetary lifeblood magic into something that is holy in our own world--even to me--the chakra. All reiki positionals are considered before healing sessions are undertaken, all points of energy are pinpointed in novelesque description--and yet it's not until the second volume that you begin to see Ley in powerful forms through the chakra due to loss of control (and ley manipulation, which I think is a sweet deal.)
How would you go about incorporating the two systems? Do you prefer your holy to remain holy and your magic magic? Let's talk about that.
