 Hutton for instance noted that the influence of Michell's ideas could be seen on the Druidic Order of the Pendragon, a Pagan group based in Leicestershire that arose to public attention in 2004.His ideas about dragon energies across the landscape have been incorporated into novels like Judy Allen's 1973 "The Spring of the Mountain" and Cara Louise's 2006 "Annie and the Dragon".Michell's books received a broadly positive reception amongst the "New Age" and "Earth mysteries" movements and he is credited as perhaps being "the most articulate and influential writer on the subject of leys and alternative studies of the past".
