Yes, I think so. In fact, the reverse of this is performed by the Daughters of Darkness rituals where they place new markers and cause the marsh to flow outward.

I am not sure that you could actually change the magical alignment of the land. That is, the actual material of the world is made mostly of "mixed stuff." See http://www.glorantha.com/new/everything.html. Thus you would not be able to clear the land and then make it sorcerous.

I think so. Thus you might discover, after clearing that patch of marsh (or
Praxian Waste, or Snakepipe Hollow) that the land was actually a powerful
Animist site, but that it was suppressed by some ancient cleansing,
imprisoning or other suppression.
