Back Isues 2

Welcome to the December edition of Dowsing News. I read in the last Issue of the Nexus magazine that time is speeding up! There must be something in that because I cannot believe its nearly Christmas again already! Where did this year go? Any way, please DO enjoy Christmas, perhaps taking time to get away from some of the commercialism. I’ve now taken to listening to BBC radio to get away from the adverts; well I pay for it with the license fee any way!

In this issue we have a link to some FREE down loadable books and news of forthcoming meetings, I look forward to meeting some of you on Monday 4^th December at South Coast Dowsers in Bournemouth. If you are going skiing this winter, I suggest you take your rods with you! Have a look at the article about how skiers life's were saved by a dowser. Also, don’t miss the article on “Military, Government and Big Business use Dowsing”.

DEMONSTRATION OF EQUINE ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY

On Monday 5^th February at 7pm there is to be a demonstration of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy at Kingston Maurward Equine Arena in Dorchester with Don Lavender, www.donlavender.com an American who has spent seventeen years working people with horses, in one of the most successful addiction treatment centres in the United States, if not the world.

Don is a psychotherapist with over twenty five years experience in addictions treatment specialising in trauma resolution and family systems work. He is a former Roman Catholic priest and part of his ethnicity is from a lineage of Native American Shamans.

Don states: ‘Horses can reflect both physical and emotional states in individuals. This is because they are herd animals and have relationships defined by their specific roles and status within their herd. Horses have consistent and clear cut communication boundaries and what is instinctual to a horse becomes the teaching tool to a human.

‘horseanalities’ and ‘personalities’ can meet to open up surprising new lines of communication.’

This event is being organised by Josephine Sellers, owner of Body Mind Spirit in Dorchester and admission is £10 for advance bookings and £12 on the door.

Cheques should be made payable to Josephine Sellers and sent to: Clear Springs Farm, Stoke Trister, Wincanton, Somerset BA9 9PQ – Tel: 01963 824852 – e-mail: josephine@wessexaquarian.co.uk

Come and join Wessex Dowsers in an evening of led discussions on dowsing subjects including our field trips and enjoy a mince pie with refreshments. Meet many like-minded people who have much to impart to all dowsers.

TWO British skiers feared dead on an icebound mountain were rescued — by water diviner. Pensioner Georg Horak saved the lives of Steve Swindlehurst and Ian Middieton by precisely picking the spot where they were huddled in a snow hole. Using a 10-inch long piece of wire and a map, he directed rescuers 4,000ft up the Bavarian Alp where the two men were lost.

Steve, 26, and lan, 25, a carpet firm boss, had dug a shelter with their bare hands. But the odds were against them.

A five-hour hunt had failed to find them. And hope was fading as the freezing night wore on.

In the nearby village of Oberammergau. Herr Horak. 73, heard of the emergency on local radio and began directing the rescue. He held the wire in his left hand and suspended it over the map until it pointed to a spot. Then he phoned his finding to rescuers who went straight to the place and found the freezing skiers.

Back home in Aylesbury. Bucks the two friends were unaware of the role of the diviner until a German TV company told them. Estate agent Steve said: ‘That’s quite amazing. Another three or four hours and we might not have survived.”

Herr Horst’s wife Anna said last night: “It’s a gift he was born with. ‘The wire swung to and fro over a certain point. He knew that was the spot where the two Englishmen were stuck.”

According to a New York Times article, October 11, 1967, U.S. Marine engineers used dowsing to help save American lives in Viet Nam. The Marines dowsed to locate tunnels, hidden ammunition, booby traps, and enemy food caches. ASD trustee, Louis Maticia, was the dowser who ran the program and taught the Marines to dowse.

This was not the first time the U.S. military used dowsing to help the troops at war. General George Patton used dowsing to find fresh water for his advancing troops in North Africa during World War II. The Germans had blown up the water wells when they retreated to prevent the American troops from having water to sustain the army in the desert terrain.

Additional government involvement with dowsing comes from the U.S. Geological Service and other branches. While the USGS was publishing a pamphlet which claimed that dowsing was "wholly discredited", several other branches of the government were using dowsing. According to Christopher Bird's book, "The Divining Hand", the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Soil Conservation Service, and the National Parks Service were dowsing. Later, at the urging of ASD, the USGS rewrote the pamphlet, "Water Witching", to reflect a more objective, neutral tone.

Open-minded big businesses use dowsing, too. Hoffman-La Roche, one of the largest global pharmaceutical companies in the world, has used dowsing to locate water for its new plants. La Roche needs large quantities of good water to process the chemicals into drugs. A company magazine quoted Dr. Peter Treadwell as saying, "Roche uses methods that are profitable, whether they are scientifically explainable or not."

Water is not the only commodity dowsed for health and profit. The petroleum industry has used dowsing to locate oil wells. Paul Clement Brown, a MIT graduate and electrical engineer, used dowsing to successfully dowse oil wells for Standard Oil, Signal Oil, Getty Oil, Mobil Oil, and others.

Dowsing News

November 2006

Welcome to the November edition of dowsing news. This month is a very active dowsing month! On Monday November 6^th we have the first meeting of South Coast Dowsers in Bournemouth with a talk on introduction to dowsing where every one gets to dowse and there will be something for every one. Both for beginners and the more experienced see our programme for more details.

The dowsing for beginners course on November 11^th /12^th at Laude Abby is now fully booked with a waiting list. But, there are still a few places left on the Wimborne beginners course on November 18^th /19^th. For the Wimborne course I have a student coming all the way from Iceland, I look forward to welcoming you Helgi. When I said a few places left there is only actually two! So if you were thinking of enrolling let me know as soon as possible on 0870 428 0934 or drop me an e-mail.

If you get the November edition of Dorset Society magazine you will see me in there with some nice pictures dowsing at Knowlton Church Circles! Which reminds me, don’t forget Wessex Dowsers Practical evening on November 20^th.

Ok enough of the editorial! I have a couple of things, which may interest you this month. Firstly an article on Chakras (body energy system) In Archaeology & Healing and wait for it, a full length DVD downloadable free for a limited time called the secret of attraction, it is so good I have watched it twice now and recorded the audio track to listen to in my car! For those of you who have listened to the dowsing for intent talk (Raymond Grace) and or taken the course you may be able to see how dowsing for intent may work. See South Coast dowsers program for March 2007.

Here is the link: it lasts 1-hour 30mins just click on the link and it will play on your PC.

And I know this sounds corny, but it could really change your life for the better!

Chakras In Archaeology & Healing

What are chakras? They are those semi-mythical bridges by which energy passes between the several subtle layers the body and the physical body. Semi-mythical because they do exist, and are usually portrayed as a bundle of conical bedsprings tapering into the center of energy areas of the body, and they are easily dowsed, but they are not visible. The body that see and feel is but one layer; out from this are the other layers which become more subtle and higher in frequency, and are on rising levels of consciousness/spirituality. Each layer is not an empty envelope. but solid, so our interior is composed of many frequencies The areas the chakras reach into are reflected in our sayings: you feel in your heart, have a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, a lump in the throat, and so on. Most people have seven main chakras. which are enough to be getting on with, although there are more. As they go up from the base to the crown they at termite between a clockwise and an anticlockwise spin, being anti—clockwise at the base.

In healing we use the chakras as a way into areas which hold emotions. Keeping them balanced is important to Our well-being. Healing the heart area can relieve feelings of hurt, as this is the path to where they are held. Whereas feelings of love in this area make one ‘light hearted’ The Throat is the area of communication emotions often enter through the Solar Plexus You will often find different names referring to the same chakras, sometimes the Indian names are used and sometimes just the numbers from (1) the Base to (7) the Crown.

This is why often when giving healing, or receiving it, one is led to concentrate on certain chakras to help particular problems: the throat for improving all kinds of communication, the heart for removing painful emotions associated with memories, and the brow for the pineal and pituitary glands which control many hormones and sleep. it has recently been found that the Heart area has a small nerve center which is connected to the main brain.

Each of the chakras has its own colour to which it responds, and when 1-lealing this colour often manifests itself to the healer~ the quality of the colour indicates the health of the chakra. This is how they appear to me; it is probably quite different for other healers. Going up from the Base chakra, the one at the base of the trunk, the colours are red, orange, yellow, green (often with pink), blue, indigo and violet. Sounds familiar? Yes, the colours of the rainbow.

Recently I was dowsing a church (a fairly small building) which was on an ancient site, and had very good energies. Like most churches it had the line up the center of the aisle, hut also had seven six-pointed stars where the earth energy lines weaved their way around this central line. There was also a pair of vertical energies a few feet apart straddling the center, which could have represented the palms of the hands.

Standing stones also have seven bands of energy, two below ground and the third at ground level, which can he quite powerful if the stones were ceremonial. This seems to arise from being in the ground, as weaker bands are found in other orthostats (things which stick up out of the ground), so check you’re nearest church spire. The fifth and seventh bands often show strange powers, as recorded in Tom Graves’ Needles of Stone, a book every dowser should read even if you don’t go along with everything in it. It can be found on www.lsleofavalon.co.uk from which it can be downloaded free. As more people dowse, and analyse their dowsing, more is discovered and understood. Thus applies to dowsers as individuals as well as the general body of knowledge, since the more you do dowse the more you can dowse, and the more you learn from other dowsers. Graves’ reference to needles was because he likened the way standing stones affect the earth to the way acupuncture needles affect the meridians of the human body, but that’s another story.

October 2006

Hello again welcome to another edition of Dowsing News. I have been digging in to the archives again and found an excellent article from 1975! Its still as relevant now as it was then. Its all about dowsing with the long pendulum, you may not have heard of this before, it uses a purely physical method associated with wave lengths and frequencies. Its an good way of checking on your conventional dowsing as taught on my courses before you start digging!

This month sees another home study dowsing for beginner’s student complete her course with flying colours. Well-done Lynne Dickens! If you are a home study student remember to get the most out of your course you need to feed back to me when prompted in the course notes. This month I would like to welcome on board to the home study course, David Longster, Elizabeth Sayers and professor Anil Grover from India. The next dowsing for beginners course is on November 18^th and 19^th at the Kings Head Hotel in Wimborne. See below for details.

Wessex Dowsers are celebrating their 20^th anniversary on Monday October 16^th at 7.30pm there will be a free buffet for members. Please note this event is strictly members only. I can’t believe I have actually been on the Wessex Dowses committee for 18 years now! This will be my last year as chairman; I will be leaving in February 2007 to concentrate on South Coast Dowsers.

It gives great pleasure to announce the launch of South Coast Dowsers, a new dowsing group based in Bournemouth meeting at the Ocean View Hotel on the sea front between Bournemouth and Boscombe piers. I will be running South Coast Dowsers with help from any volunteers! We are already affiliated to the British Society of Dowsers. Our first meeting is on November 6^th all are welcome. CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS

British Society Of Dowsers Approved

The course will cover all aspects of dowsing from complete beginner to an intermediate level. Your principle tutor is our chairman Paul Craddock who is a qualified adult education tutor and a British Society Of Dowsers registered tutor. This is an accredited course so on successful completion you will receive a certificate. Enabling you to enrol on more advanced courses.

There is a new magazine being launched this month called Beyond Magazine it will be available in WH Smiths and Tesco’s. My personal dowsing story appears in the November edition.

Editors note: this article is about the Long Pendulum, it works in a totally different way to conventional dowsing which utilises the sub-conscious mind. This is a purely physical process.

Dowsing is a very personal thing and must he developed by the individual, instruments and methods, which suit him best. Once a person can establish that he has the ability to dowse, I believe he must read all he can about the subject and talk to skilled dowsers whenever opportunity occurs.

Whilst the pendulum can duplicate any dowsing work which can be done with angle rods, forked sticks and most other dowsing instruments, it is of particular interest to those (dowsers who wish to accurately identify minerals and particularly gem stones.

The pendulum is a simple instrument which can he used in one hand and is extremely sensitive when properly used. It can be quickly and easily made from a short piece of, say, 3/8 inch dowelling 5 or 6 niches long (for a rod or handle), and about 24in. of thin nylon fishing line, preferably about 4 to 6lb. breaking strain, and a wooden ball of about 1 in. to I.5 inches in diameter.

Drill a small hole in the ball and tie a knot in one end of the nylon and fasten this into the hole with a wooden peg (match), which can then be broken off. Fasten the other end of the nylon to the dowelling handle. Pendulum balls are usually painted black, although I do not find this absolutely necessary.

Whilst the size of the pendulum ball and material used for its suspension are not critical, the pendulum I have described is easy to make and quite adequate for a beginner.

Obtain a small piece of quartz or other mineral sample and put it in the centre of a card table. Stand alongside the table and wind up the ball until it touches the dowelling handle. Let it out slowly and induce it to oscillate slightly. Concentrate on the sample and hold the pendulum immediately above the sample as you unwind. It does not seem to matter whether one winds the pendulum up or down when tuning it.

As the pendulum lengthens, or shortens, you will notice that the ball at some stage changes its movement of direction from an oscillation to a circular movement (gyration). When this movement stabilises into the maximum circular action, fasten the nylon to the dowelling with your index finger.

You now have the pendulum tuned for quartz. While still retaining this length of pendulum, walk away from the table and you will find that the gyration ceases. Put, say, an iron nail or some other dissimilar substance on the floor a few yards away from the table and, still with the pendulum at the quartz adjustment, hold it over the nail. The pendulum will simply oscillate. Remove the nail, and place another piece of quartz on the floor, and the pendulum will immediately gyrate when held over the quartz.

Still keeping the length for quartz, hold it over, say, a drinking glass; because of the high quartz content of the glass, the pendulum will indicate as for quartz. It will also operate in the same manner over any material glazed with quartz, but only provided you retain the identical length of the pendulum, as when tuned for the quartz. Amazing—isn’t it? ‘We call this tuning the pendulum.

The pendulum is a tremendous instrument for diagnostic work. The principle is that each substance has its own constant pendulum length. This constant will vary from operator to operator, but will always remain constant for each operator and for identical material. I believe that, whilst the pendulum length may vary slightly if recorded on a number of clays, say, weeks apart, the lengths are sufficiently constant for hours or days on end. I have also found that females and gold have an identical pendulum length, and males and diamonds appear to respond to the same pendulum length. Apart from this, I have tested hundreds of samples and have not found any other duplication.

Once he has demonstrated to his own satisfaction that the instrument does work as indicated the learner should experiment with a variety of materials and make a ball of rubber, plastic, heavy or light wood, glass, etc., and see how each of these operates.

Also I would suggest that when testing these pendulums you try suspending the ball from a filament of silk, cotton, string, etc. The main thing to remember is that if you use, say, a glass marble as a ball and you are working over quartz, the pendulum will also indicate over and be attracted to, say, glass bottles, broken glass, glazed pottery, etc. So for this reason, if one is to do accurate work over minerals it is better to stick to a pendulum made from, say, a wooden ball or some organic material. Of course, the opposite applies if one is working over organic material; it is far safer to use a pendulum made from some mineral substance; preferably one which does not occur in the near vicinity.

Experiment with both heavy and light pendulums and see how they react. You will find that, whilst a very light pendulum weighing, say, a quarter of an ounce, will indicate over a single grain of sugar or salt and flay rotate in a circle, say, 2Oin. in diameter, if a heavy pendulum is used, say, 6 or 8 oz. in weight, the rotation will be slower and the diameter of the rotation will be considerably reduced.

From this, when you are prospecting in the field you can develop your own assessment of the mass of the material over which the pendulum is working, by the behavior of the Pendulum. If you obtain a prospect with a very light pendulum, test it again with a heavy one and note whether the influence diminishes.

In order to establish confidence in the pendulum as an instrument you should check its operation over a number and variety of materials. The first thing which you will observe is that each material will have a different length of thread at which the pendulum will rotate when tuned. It would appear from this that the dowser is working on a form of radiation, which emanates from the substance being investigated. This radiation appears to be either long wave or short wave and of a positive or negative polarity.

To demonstrate the former (long or short wave) obtain a piece of red colored paper and a piece of purple or blue paper. Tune the pendulum first over the red sample and note the length of the pendulum thread. Now remove this sample well away from the table on are working on, and tune the pendulum over the purple paper; you will find that the pendulum length is very much shorter. It is well known that the electromagnetic wavelength of the principal Fraunhofer lines in the visible spectrum range from Red: 7800-6400 angstrom units to Violet: 4250-3800 angstrom units, and if you examine the other spectrum colors you will find that the pendulum thread length for each of these colors lies between the pendulum thread length for red and purple. This makes one suspect that there is a relationship between wavelength and pendulum length.

On the subject of polarity I should make it quite clear that this term refers specifically to the two different manifestations of the dowsing signal, which are in opposition to each other. The term does not necessarily refer to positive and negative vibrations in the electromagnetic sense. For convenience also, the “plus” and “minus” signs are used in diagrams when indicating a pendulum’s gyrations “plus“ equals clockwise, “ minus “ equals anti-clockwise, thus indicating a change in the dowsing signal.

When I tune a pendulum over most substances it will gyrate in a clockwise direction I call this “positive“. An anti-clockwise rotation occurs when I tune a pendulum over common salt, amber, lime, etc. I call this “negative “. I have found a few dowsers for whom the opposite directional effect applies. A word of warning on this: I have found when dowsing in the field with a pendulum that the occasion has arisen when a dowsing zone which has indicated a clockwise gyration may suddenly change to anti-clockwise, only to revert later to clockwise. This appears to be only a very temporary situation, and the dowser should suspend his dowsing until the situation reverts to the normal.

I would suggest that the reader now checks his manifestations for himself. Obtain a small sample of common salt and tune the pendulum over it. When the instrument begins to rotate you will find that it will turn in the opposite direction to that for which it indicates over, say, quartz or most other substances.

Another unusual phenomenon occurs when one uses a pendulum over two dissimilar metals or minerals in contact with each other. Place a copper coin and a nickel coin together (one on top of the other) and tune the pendulum over them. What happens? You will find that (a) you can get two separate tunings on the pendulum and (b) that in both instances the rotation of the pendulum is in the form of an elliptical orbit, not a true circular rotation. Test this again over a glass of water with a drop of copper sulphate or similar chemical added. The same orbital indication will occur. There is a practical use for this, which will be reported later.

The next thing you should know is that the knowledge you have now obtained by familiarity with the pendulum operation can be put to good practical use.

If you are a rock hound or a gemmologist and require to make a quick and accurate identification of gem material, either cut or uncut, all that is necessary is to tune your pendulum over a known gem stone, say, a smoky quartz, and, retaining the fixed pendulum length, simply to hold the pendulum over the unknown material. It will rotate over clear quartz, citrine, amethyst, chalcedony, agate, chrysoprase, etc., and oscillate over, say, topaz, zircon, etc. If you tune the pendulum over aquamarine, it will rotate only over beryl varieties, morganite, heliodor or emerald. If you tune the pendulum over sapphire of any color, it will rotate only over other sapphires or rubies and so on. The principle is the same with all gem material, and this is extremely valuable knowledge to have when dealing with such colored gem material as yellow diamond, corundum, beryl, topaz, tourmaline. zircon, chrysoberyl, quartz, garnet, olivine, feldspar, spodumene, rutile (synthetic), silica glass, amber or plastic, to name a few yellow materials.

There is a tremendous scope for research into what can be done by skilled operators using the pendulum as a means of identification of minerals, both in mixtures of two or more mineral components in contact and chemical compounds. also components where the component parts are covered by some outside container or envelope. One such use which I have discovered is in the speedy identification of what is known in the jewellery trade as a “ doublet “. These stones are sometimes made to imitate sapphires. The stone is composed of two different substances (a)The crown consisting of quartz or other inexpensive hard stone, and (b) The base of colored glass. Sometimes the crown is made of real sapphire, but one deficient in color; the requisite color being provided by the paste forming the base of the “doublet “.These clays the most common “ doublets “ consist of a thin slice of Almandinc Garnet forming the table facet, which is cemented to a glass back of the correct color for ruby, sapphire or emerald. it is extremely difficult for an untrained person to identify these “ doublets “ with the naked eye, and often even qualified gemmologists find it difficult to identify them with a loupe. They are readily identified if the stone can be dismantled from a ring and immersed in a refractive liquid and studied under a high magnification microscope, when the small bubbles in the cement between the two materials can be seen. The pendulum, however, will readily pick out the doublet. To do this, put the suspected stone on a table and tune the pendulum over it. Keep the ball swinging, say, 2 or 3 inches above the stone, as you shorten the thread. You will find that when the pendulum rotates it will not assume a completely circular rotation. The shape of the rotation will be an ellipse. If you keep winding up the pendulum thread you may also find that when the pendulum starts to oscillate again you may he able to tune in the material of the second half of the stone, but the direction of rotation will again be an ellipse. This is a fantastic phenomenon and is an extremely useful piece of information to keep in the back of your mind, since, knowing this, you can avoid being taken in by unscrupulous vendors, who may try to sell you a cheap doublet for a highly priced sapphire.The same principle applies to the identification of the Soude Emerald. This stone consists of a crown and a base of rock crystal, which are united by a green transparent cement to simulate a real emerald. If you want to check your work, having established with the pendulum that the so-called emerald is a fake, I suggest you immerse it in alcohol or chloroform, when it will probably fall apart.

Now let us examine the economic value of this gift. What can be done by a skilled dowser working over minerals and in possession of a suitable pendulum and kit of mineral samples and a good knowledge of geology and mineralogy? In the first instance, provided one has a small sample of any material, and provided it can be shielded from other radial contamination, it is possible to achieve the following:

Seek out and identify every piece of the same material within a considerable radius. The distance varies from individual to individual and from one mineral to another. One can locate the material either above or below the ground and at considerable depth, again, this variable. One can ascertain the depth at which the material lies below the surface. One can estimate masses and volume. One can work out the perimeters of mineral deposits and draw a chart of the manner of occurrence, setting down the dip and pitch off reefs or strata of these and other minerals encountered.

It is also possible to indicate whether the mineral is in the form of sulphide, carbonate or oxide, if suitable samples are available. In the case of corundums, he can tell whether any rubies are included in a pocket of sapphires in. say . an alluvial wash. If prospecting for alluvial gold he can mark out on the surface the full extent of the auriferous ground and the depth; these would be extremely valuable in sluicing or dredging prospects. The same applies in respect of tin, gemstones, diamonds, tantalite. beach sands. If working on alluvial prospects, he can save a great deal of labour involved in washing prospect pans which contain no ores. by just checking for the particular mineral in that prospect and only washing the pans over which the pendulum or other instrument gives a positive reaction.

If in opal country he can locate opal, and distinguish between precious opal and potch, he can even tell the difference between black opal with “ fire “, including all long wave colors, or green with just the short wave colors. He can also tell the depth at which it would be encountered.

If prospecting for antimony, one can tell at what depth the prospect lies and whether it is associated with copper, lead, zinc, silver or gold, and the nature of the country rock and the reefs to be encountered. Provided the operator is equipped with a good set of mineral samples in the field, he can quickly identify any other mineral sample accurately, and can even identify trace elements extremely minute concentrations. He can mark out on the surface the full extent of any mineralised area below the surface and can set out a drilling grid to obviate “dry‘‘ holes. He can analyse cores from diamond drills for the presence of minerals but cannot estimate percentages. This is the job for an assayer. He can analyse samples from percussion drills for the presence of any minerals sought. He can also locate the nearest un underground water and tell whether it is potable, how deep and how much. If he becomes lost in remote country, provided he has a few mineral samples with him he can quickly locate north, south, east and west, even though he is unable to see the sun. If he locates surface water he can ascertain whether it is drinkable. Whilst the above in no way exhausts what can be done by a skilled dowser working over minerals it is a very formidable list of positive things which can be done, and the economic significance of such a gift must be apparent to all readers.

September 2006

Welcome to September’s newsletter, I hope you have enjoyed the summer. This month we have a distinctive Earth Energies flavor. To coincide with Hamish Miller giving us a talk on The Earth Energies of New Zealand at the next Wessex Dowsers Meeting on September 18^th and for those of you that are eligible there are still a few places left on the Earth Energies and Geopathic Stress Course in Wimborne on September 23^rd. See information below.

Congratulations to Amanda Newman who has just completed her Dowsing for beginner’s home study course with flying colors. Well done Amanda I am sure you are already using your new skills!

I look forward to meeting some you you at the British Society of Dowsers Congress in Northampton this weekend (15th), if you would like to go but haven't booked there may still be a few places available give them a call on 01684 576969

Feng-Shui is a discipline that originated in ancient China and its primary purpose was to provide landscapes that were harmonious for good living In Feng-Shui the earth’s natural energy currents were important and were known as “the Dragon Lines”. They were considered to be sacred and were integrated into dwelling places by geomancers. Where the Yang and Yin dragon lines crossed this location was regarded as especially sacred and would be reserved for temples, important dwellings, or an emperors tomb. In the mid 1980’s, Hamish Miller and Paul Broadhurst at the instigation of John Michell, the writer, went to Lands End where they detected a yang river of earth energy which they dubbed “Michael”. They tracked it to the Sanctuary, near Avebury, where they found the yin current which they called “Mary”. After this discovery they had to return to Lands End to track Mary to the Sanctuary.

Hamish said to me “I was stupid and should have realised that a yang energy would be balanced by a yin.”

The twin earth currents coursed from Lands End to Hopton on the Norfolk coast and did a balancing act around the long-distance Ley line discovered by John Michell in the 1960’s. Along this great geomantic corridor the twin currents passed through over 300 stone circles, long borrows, medieval churches and abbeys. Averaging over one per mile suggested intent rather than chance sitings. Here was feng-shui across the country. What Miller and Broadhurst had discovered were the British Dragon lines. At Avebury, in particular, we witness feng-shui practiced by the Neolithic builders.

The Michael current passes through a tumulus on Windmill Hill then enters the henge passing through the Cove feature in the northern circle, the obelisk stone marker in the southern circle, then passes through the southern causewayed entrance and proceeds along the Kennet stone avenue. The Avenue stones mark Michael’s exact width. Michael then proceeds to the Sanctuary’s centre.

Mary enters the Avebury region passing the Wagon and Horses Inn, the Long Stones Adam and Eve, and then crosses with Michael on Windmill Hill. She then sweeps around the countryside and passes through the Winterbourne Monkton church setting its axis and its width. The church is dedicated to St. Mary.

From here Mary arcs towards the Cove where she joins Michael and conjointly they run to the southern causewayed entrance. Here Mary parts from Michael and passes through Silbury Hill and the West Kennet long barrow. She then crosses with Michael at the Sanctuary.

The medieval Masonic Brotherhood also practised fang - shui evidenced in numerous churches and abbeys. At Glastonbury Abbey. for example, Mary sets its axis and Mary crosses Michael at the High Altar, the most venerated location in the abbey.

And now for some vintage stuff! Below is a report I wrote way back 1n 1985, seems only yesterday! Starting after I found a row of standing stones in Wales. The report was a result of my subsequent dowsing and research.

This is a general report on the conclusions reached by research and survey of the remains of the Ley Energy system on the Cambrain coast mid Wales on both sides of the Mawddach estuary next to Barmouth and Fairbourne. The remains of the Ley system comprised of: standing stones, stone circles, mounds and burial chambers and other markers. On one side of the estuary (Fairbourne) all the standing stones where charged with Ley Energy and were conducting energy lines. On the other side whilst there was an abundance of standing stones there was no energy present. On investigation I found that the two stone circles that were originally supplying the stones with Ley Energy had sunk into the marshy ground. The stone circles were located and found to be still live in the ground but not able to transmit on their power to the lines of standing stones in their vicinity. The survey was carried out using various dowsing techniques.
