peer agreement (net): +1(magically) charged space; place with (a) special energy; liminal space Explanation: Here are a few options that might work in your context! • place with (a) special energy • high energy spot/place • (magically) charged space • liminal space (slightly different meaning, but potentially also interesting in this context) see e.g.: "As is intimated by 'Magic Show', co-curated by artist Jonathan Allen [a practising magician and member of The Magic Circle] and critic and curator Sally O'Reilly, both art and magic are concerned with manipulating perception, with the theatrics of suggestion and the leveraging of confidence. Do we really believe that an ii-inch spherical space above Tom Friedman's Untitled [A Curse], 1992, contains a curse placed there by a witch? [Or that the same artist really stared at a piece of paper for a thousand hours?] We try to. The 'it is because I say it is' provocation dates back to Duchamp at least; the charged space of the gallery, which transfigures what it contains, might be analogous to the ritual and razzmatazz of conjuring."

Ley line intersection Explanation: See Wikipedia entry. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2022-11-03 15:15:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ley Lines are believed to be supernatural in nature. Wikipedia: Ley lines ... "members of the Earth Mysteries movement and other esoteric traditions have commonly believed that such ley lines demarcate "earth energies"" Wikipedia: earth energies a.k.a. energy (esotericism) ... Proponents and practitioners of various esoteric forms of spirituality and alternative medicine refer to a variety of claimed experiences and phenomena as being due to "energy" or "force" that defy measurement and thus are distinguished from the scientific form of energy. |

energy site Explanation: Seems like this is a common term. Also seen it used in the context of museums. See ref. https://www.linguee.com/english-dutch/search?query=krachtplekken |
