I'm curious: anyone here know of any particularly "thin" spots? If so, where and what can you tell us about them?
Preferably ones we might not know about, rather than obviously thin places like Four Quarters and other sacred spaces that are regularly used for ritual in any tradition.

In Europe old churches and cathedrals are said to be built on top of old worship sites, ley lines and related. This isn't some sort of pagan self-victimization this time, either. Archeological evidence, such as the remnants of a Serapeum in Cologne under and around the cathedral there, support this idea, as well as other archeological sites (this is just the one we know of and have visited personally).
We have all reported a spike in energy levels when visiting some really old worship sites in Europe. Regardless of religious affiliation (or none whatsoever), it is an interesting experience and would be good locations for secular energy work.

Now on this my system and I don't notice any differences at all, other than the somewhat different case of my headmate who communicates with cities themselves somehow. Gateworking and such is done from anywhere, with our mind and its location on the ether being the set-out spot, nothing ground-specific at all. Then again we don't do pagan magic etc, I wonder if that's it.

Well, I don't do pagan magic either, and even I notice a difference.
I think it may depend on what one is aclimatized to. You may not notice it because, categorically, it is more part of your environment than, say, the environment we live in. And we do consider ourselves relatively sensitive to and otherwise attuned to our environment. So for us, it is enough to be picked up on the radar, so to speak.

It was the sort of thing Arhuaine was always able to detect but I can't, nor anyone else left in our system. I'm not really sensitive to anything of that nature.

I've been trying to catalog the ones around here. There's several at the Alexandria National Cemetary in Alexandria, VA. There's one near the Social Security Administration off Waples Mill Road in Fairfax, VA (though that one seems to have become somehow "unanchored" due to recent construction and may fade or move, not sure yet). I believe there's one in the southeastern section of Arlington National Cemetary, but I haven't had the chance to get over there and check it out directly yet. Those are all of the local ones I know of at the moment.
Less locally, there's a thin spot I know of at Ringing Rocks park near Easton, PA.

How does one test what constitutes a thin spot?
I tend to go on energetic feel coupled with what historical records that may be available of the area. Duo would like to point out that there are numerous in the Antietam area, and notes that these things can occur due to large-scale trauma on the land (places of battle/genocide/mass death).

I've mostly been going by feel, and checking my perceptions with others. History can be useful, definitely, and I do look for that where possible but not all thin spots are old enough, large enough, or active enough to have history associated with them (even of just odd things happening) unless they were created through trauma like the ones at Antietam that would be recorded in the historic record.

The Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, without a doubt.
I'd love to head over to Staffa to visit the other end of it.

No fair living in an area that already has the big ones mapped!

Well, if anyone ever takes a trip to Oregon… :P I highly suggest taking a trip to Silver Falls near Silverton. It seems the entire area is a "thin spot". I haven't gotten the chance to explore it myself, but I've heard stories.

Cool, thanks for the tip. :) Actually, you just reminded me of another one I've heard of out west, though I haven't been there myself. It's fairly popular in new-age circles, though, the "Sedona Vortex" in Sedona, AZ: http://gosw.about.com/od/sedon…..vortex.htm
No idea how much validity there is to it, but it's probably at least as well known as Antietam as a thin spot.
