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.

Dowsing News

July 2006

Hello again! welcome to the July edition of Dowsing News. The Dowsing for intent course went well on July 1st we had a full course with every one learning some good dowsing techniques to really help with their lives. If you were on that course remember to keep in touch so we can learn form each other as we continue to develop dowsing for Intent techniques. I look forward to seeing some of you at the Dowsing for Health course 15^th and 16^th July.

There are places left on the Dowsing for Health Course at the Kings Head Hotel in Wimborne Please see the course details in this newsletter on 15^th & 16^th July.

Whist we were on the course on Saturday the Daily Echo published and article on Dowsing in their magazine, which I gave an interview for a few weeks ago, I have included it below. You will see I am about to start a new dowsing group in the Poole & Bourmemouth area called South Coast Dowsers if you are interested in coming along drop me an e-mail.

In this newsletter I have an article from the American Society of Dowsers on the ancient history of dowsing, it makes some very interesting reading, dowsing as been a long for a long very time and its here to stay!

Don’t forget If you are a Member of Wessex Dowsers we have our Field trip at Knowlton Church Circle see information below:

SUMMER FIELD TRIP

Knowlton Church Circle

Sunday 23rd July 2006

(Members only)

Join us again on this popular trip dowsing this interesting site. Paul Craddock, Chairman of Wessex Dowsers, will be giving a dowsing tour of Knowlton Henge, showing you how to dowse many different Earth Energy features, including some recent finds. Last year Paul was featured on BBC South and in the national press when he and some of his students made some exciting discoveries at Knowlton.

Come and see for yourself!

(Meet at Knowlton Church Circle, Horton at 1pm)

WHEN Paul Craddock was lost on a Welsh moor, shrouded in thick fog, he was glad of his 26 years of dowsing experience.

Using his metal dowsing rods, he “asked” which way he should walk. Miraculously they pointed him in the right direction — and back to civilisation.

“Most people associate dowsing with finding water,” explained Paul who is chairman of Wessex Dowsers and an accredited tutor in the subject. “But this is just one example of how dowsing can help to find so many other things.”

Indeed, Paul hit the headlines last year when he and a team of dowsing students discovered something extraordinary at Knowlton Church near Cranborne: an ancient stone from a lost sun temple dating back to the Bronze Age. It was one of the most significant archaeological finds this region has seen for years. Mislaid objects, tunnels, gas, minerals, ore and ley lines have all been successfully located thanks to a couple of twigs or metal rods. Documented cases include everything from a lost and lowly MP3 player to a huge oilfield in California which, when bored, spurted crude oil 200ft into the air and went on to produce 100,000 barrels a day.

Evidence of dowsing dates back to the Ancient Egyptians, and our Cornish miners relied on it in the 1700s. These days it’s used discreetly by government departments all over the world.

And closer to home, many farmers rely on it to find water. Nearly all Southern Water’s leak detection team use dowsing techniques.

But I wanted to know how it worked... IF it worked. Was it all just mumbo jumbo or could I, too, get a bit of divining intervention?

Paul assured me: “Most, if all people can dowse; it’s not rocket science.” The forked twigs are seldom used these days. Instead, people reach for metal L-rods, which can easily be twisted out of coat hangers. Now here’s the science bit. Apparently the things you hold in your hands are like a radio tuner, picking up messages from your subconscious mind.

Paul says the brain works like a computer. Thus it can be “programmed” to find a specific object or material. Even Einstein said that the rods “amplify minute muscular responses from the subconscious mind”.

A relaxed state is the best way to dowse. “If you try too hard to do something, it just won’t work!” said Paul.

So here I was, with two metal rods in my hand, almost willing them NOT to cross when I walked over a length of copper pipe. But there they went — with a force akin to a magnetic pull. A few seconds beforehand, I was asked to “visualise” stepping over the pipe and the rods crossing. There was a short delay in the movement of the rods, but apparently that is natural for a beginner like me.

Paul then showed me how to dowse with a pendulum — in this case a crystal on a chain. You can “ask” it to show you the answer “No”. (perhaps it will move in a circle) and “Yes” (it should change direction or move in a different manner).

Using this technique, people have dowsed for health, holding a pendulum over a number of different medicines and asking which ones they need. Whether you’re skeptical or a convert, it’s a fascinating subject. If you’re interested in learning more, the public are welcome to attend meetings with the Wessex Dowsers in Wareham who celebrate their 20th birthday this year (see www.healthyandwise.co.uk) Paul is looking to start another group in the Bournemouth and Poole area, and he is asking people to contact him if they are interested in joining. For more information on this or any of Paul’s dowsing courses, which are accredited by the British Society of Dowsers, please contact 0870 428 0934.

This practical course will show you how to dowse with a pendulum to improve your health, and the health of others, in a variety of ways. A brief outline of what will be covered is shown below, but this new course covers much much more! And if you have not dowsed before ~ don’t worry ~ you will be shown how to dowse with a pendulum at the beginning of the weekend. If you don’t already have a pendulum you may purchase, make or borrow one.

The course will be held over the weekend of July 15th /16th at the The King’s Head Hotel in Wimborne, Dorset. It will cover almost every aspect of dowsing for health. Paul Craddock has over 26 years of dowsing experience and is an acknowledged expert in his field. Paul’s credits include chairman of Wessex Dowsers, geopathic stress consultant, adult education tutor for Bournemouth University, Director of The Knowlton Group, British Society of Dowsers registered tutor and a past editor of the British Society of Dowsers Earth Energies Group Newsletter. You will be in very capable hands!

The Ancient art of dowsing has been practiced throughout millennia, although the names used to identify it may have changed in different cultures and eras, the techniques have not.

In this vein in 1949, a party of French explorers (while searching for evidence of lost civilizations in the Atlas Mts. of North Africa) stumbled upon a massive system of caverns known as the Tassili Caves, wherein many of the walls were covered with marvelous pre-historic paintings. Among the many fascinating wall murals, not only did they locate an art gallery devoted exclusively to the depictions of spacecraft and ET’s, they also found a remarkable huge wall painting of a dowser, holding a forked branch in his hand searching for water, surrounded by a group of admiring tribesmen. These wall murals were carbon dated and found to be at east 8000 years old.

During several research journeys to Egypt and the Middle East, I have photographed etchings on 4000-year-old temple walls of pharaohs holding devices in their hands resembling dowsing tools. Cairo Museum is holding ceramic pendulums that have been removed from thousand-year old tombs.

In China, there is an etching of Chinese Emperor Yu who ruled China 2500 years ago, and in his hands he holds a rather bulky turn-pronged device that resembles a dowsing device.

Many Passages in the Bible allude to dowsing, relating in considerable detail how both Moses and his son, Aaron used a dowsing device referred to as the Rod” to locate and bring forth water. In the Old Testament the Prophet Eziekiel reports that King Nubucadnezzar of Babylon uncertain as to which city he should attack. Jerusalem the capital of Judah or or Rebath of the Ammonites (today’s modern-day Amman, Jordan) directed his dowsers or deviners to select the best target and they chose Jerusalem, leading to its seizure and the long Babylonian captivity of the Jews.

The Jews learned the ancient art from their captors and in the Old Testament Prophet Hozea wrote: “they now consult their pieces of wood then the wand makes pronouncements from them”

The historical records of Greece refer to dowsing and the art was widely practiced on the Island of Crete, as early as 400 BC. Researchers have uncovered evidence that the Pytheon Oracle of Delphi used a pendulum to answer the questions posed by her clients, kings, queens, nobility and military commanders who traveled great distances to confer with her.

In this regard, E.S. Cumbie in his fine book entitled, “The Psychometric Pendulum and the Pendulum Board” has this to say about dowsing and the ancient priesthood, “In ancient times, the priesthood felt that the layman did not have the belief, knowledge or training to contact the cosmic mind for enlightenment. So the poor people were forced to rely upon the priests to gain the guidance they sought from a higher Source and the priests used dowsing devices to make this contact.”

For example, in Ezra 3:63 of the Old Testament it is written: “The governor told the people not to partake of the most holy food until the priest contacted Urin & Thymmin”. In Samuel 28:6 it says, When Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord did not answer either in dreams by the prophets or by Urim & Thymmin”. Cumbie is convinced that the words Urim & Thumin referred to dowsing devices which could have supplied crucial information and sometimes refused to do so because the priestly dowser held the wrong attitudes or phrased their questions in an incorrect manner.

The blind Greek poet Homer refers to dowsing as Rhabdomancy, which means Devining Rod in Greek. That same word is still used today in the Italian language to denote dowsing. In his monumental work “The Oddesy” Homer also called the dowsing rod the Caduceus, which was passed from Apollo (or Hermes) to Asclepious the ancient Greek God of healing. This mystical, legendary staff with its entwined serpents has become the universal symbol of healing, used by medical societies around the planet.

Back in the 1400’s, dowsing as we think of it today, was called “Virgula Devine” in Latin which meant dowsing with the rod shape. In Germany, during this period of time, dowsing devices were used extensively by miners seeking mineral ore, who referred to the forked stick as ‘Deuter - on umbrella word in German - meaning ‘to show”, “to indicate”, ‘to point out’, “to auger’, “to strike’.

According to Christopher Bird, author of the classic book, “The Divining Hand”, no one is absolutely certain of the origin of the verb “to dowse”. But it seemingly made its first official appearance in 1650 in on essay written by the famous English Philosopher John Locke whose noble writings inspired the framers of our own Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of the United States. In his essay, Locke wrote that by the use of the dowsing rod, one could devise or discover water and precious minerals (such as gold, silver and mineral ore) Locke has appropriated his phrase from the long dead English west country language of Cornwall - where in Cornish Dewsys meant ‘Goddess’, and “Rhod” meant tree branch, and from which he “coined” the phrase - Dowsing Rod.

In the 1700’s and 1800’s in England, Germany and France various books on mining and engineering referred extensively to dowsing, including the “1747 Mining Dictionary” and again in Bordlase’s 1758 “Natural History of Cornwall”, and also “The 1831 Quarterly Mining Review”. Because the ancient art was widely used by miners in Germany for hundreds of years to locate water and ore deposits, today in that country libraries and museums of natural history, science, mining and engineering, private collections of art and sculptures have displays of woodcarvings, paintings and drawings, porcelain creations, coins, etc ... featuring dowsers holding forked sticks.

Interestingly, London, England’s 1912 edition of “Mining Magazine” published the first translation of a Latin Opus into English. It was called “On Metals” in praise of dowsing, which had been first published 356 years earlier. The translators were a professional American mining engineer and his wife. The engineer later gained fame and won notoriety as the 31st President of the U.S. -- Herbert Clark Hoover. As Chris Bird notes, “God knows, had President Hoover been on expert dowser himself, he might have predicted, and therefore, prevented the great stock market crash of 1929.”

Collectively, in same of the world’s finest libraries (e.g. The Library of Congress, The Widener Library of Harvard, The Sterling Library of Yale) you con find approximately 3,500 specialized books on the ancient art and the list grows steadily all the time.

First the question -- what is dowsing? Well, for those of your who are unfamiliar with the term, let me say that you won’t find anything of value in current dictionaries or encyclopedias. Those comments, prepared by orthodox scholars, are incomplete and inaccurate, giving only a few descriptions generally summarizing oil with the cryptic comment, that dowsing is simply “folklore”..

But as Christopher Bird points out in his “The Divining Hand”, ... ‘throughout history, men and women characterized as diviner’s, dowsers, soothsayers seers, mystics, mediums, clairvoyants shaman, witch doctors wizards & etc., have developed and practiced arts regarded as divine or demonic (depending on the viewpoint) and are able to answer questions that logical reason could not provide, in essence, these people through self training, diligent practice and a profound knowledge of how the universe really functioned, simply “knew things” via the faculty of what has been called the ‘hidden senses” or E.5.P.

Engineer Raymond J C. Willey’s (one of the founders of ASD back in 1961) 1970 book “Modern dowsing” gives on the best definitions I hove encountered, Willey says: ‘dowsing is the exercise of a human faculty, which allows one to obtain information in a manner beyond the scope and power of the standard human physical senses of sight, sound, touch, etc.”

Author Chris Bird says that “to dowse’ is to search for anything. This is generally down with the aid of a hand held instrument, such as a forked stick, a pendulum bob on a string, L-shaped metal rods or a wooden or metal wand,

The next question is simply: How does dowsing work? Countless theories abound, even today, yet, I am not absolutely certain that any one, or even a combination of such theories, discloses the whole story.

I am persuaded that Moses and the ancient priesthood clearly understood the mechanism by which it worked; however, they never released such critical data to the masses. Therefore, recognizing that to have done so would have meant a loss of power and prestige for them. The premier consideration is simply this - dowsing works - and with proper understanding, training, time, patience, study and regular practice (especially in the beginning stages) it will work for the most important person in the world - you!

Dowsing News

June 2006

Hello again, welcome to the June edition of Dowsing News, I hope you are enjoying this nice weather. On the subject of nice weather you must have seen the warnings of hose pipe bans and water draughts on the news. Did you know the big water companies manage to lose 3.6 billion litres a day through leaking pipes? If you want to find a leak in an underground in a pipe who are you going to call? A dowser of course! Read below how Southern Water are now employing a team of dowsers to find their leaking pipes and save water. So whether its dowsing for water or looking for leaks it looks like dowsers will be in demand this summer, time to dust of those rods!

Still on the subject of water I have included an article on water in Chile at the end of this Newsletter sent in by Fabienne Best, which may concern you, please take time to read and respond.

For those of you that have enrolled on the Dowsing for beginners course and the dowsing for intent course (below) enrolment details and maps have been posted to you yesterday Monday 5^th June. I look forward to welcoming you on to the course.

Dowsing For Beginners course 17^th & 18^th June. Details in this newsletter. Places still available.

Wessex Dowsers on site dowsing in Wareham meeting June 19^th 7.30pm meet @ URC Hall, Wareham. Bring Your Dowsing equipment!

Dowsing for Intent July 1^st Details in this newsletter. Places still available.

As Britain prepares for drought, water companies are turning to the most unlikely of saviours – an army of water diviners hunting for fresh suppliers with twigs and wire.

This has to be a providential sign. We’re on the brink of a drought, but the rain is pouring down and the wind rips at Basil Frostick’s uniform as he makes his slow, careful way along the pavement of a housing estate near Horsham, Surrey. As another peal of thunder rumbles in the distance, Basil begins muttering under his breath: ‘Almost there. Almost there’.

He takes another step forward and his divining rods take on a life of their own. At first they start quivering like a cat’s whiskers. A moment later they swing resolutely through 90 degrees to form a cross in front of Basil’s chest.

‘There it is’, says Basil, 47. ‘That’s the water main right beneath our feet.’

All I can see is beneath our feet is Tarmac. But Basil is adamant. Somewhere under the road and topsoil, a pipe is haemorrhaging. He knows this, because his divining roads have told him so.

He reaches into his kitbag for an aerosol and sprays a white X where he has ‘sensed’ the leak, and later an engineering team will come along to dig up the road where he has marked it, and repair the pipe.

‘Nearly all of Southern Water’s leak detection team now uses divining.’ Says Basil. ‘It saves getting all of the electronic equipment out if the van. The detection rates are better, too,’ he adds with a satisfied smile.

DOWSING FOR BEGINNERS

Most people have heard of Dowsing as means of finding water with a twig or rods ~ but Dowsing can be used for so much more. Dowsing for Health and Healing, detecting Earth Energies, Site Surveying, Geopathic Stress, tracing Lost Objects are all achievable with this art. This is a comprehensive practical course for beginners, and over 2 days will cover almost every aspect of Dowsing. This extremely popular course is approved by the British Society of Dowsers, and students will receive certification upon completion. If you don’t already have a set of rods or a pendulum you may purchase, make or borrow one on the course.

The course will be held over the weekend of June 17th and 18th at King’s Head Hotel in Wimborne, Dorset. Your tutor, Paul Craddock DHP MIAH has over 26 years of dowsing experience and is an acknowledged expert in his field. Paul’s credits include Chairman of Wessex Dowsers, Director of The Knowlton Group, Geopathic Stress Consultant, Adult Education Tutor for Bournemouth University, British Society of Dowsers registered tutor and a past editor of the British Society of Dowsers Earth Energies Group Newsletter.

Dear friends who care about our earth:

In the Valle de San Felix, the purest water in Chile runs from 2 rivers, fed by 2 glaciers. Indigenous farmers use the water, there is no unemployment, and they provide the second largest source of income for the area. Under the glaciers has been found a huge deposit of gold, silver and other minerals. To get at these, it would be necessary to break, to destroy the glaciers - something never conceived of in the history of the world - and to make 2 huge holes, each as big as a whole mountain, one for extraction
and one for the mine's rubbish tip. The project is called PASCUA LAMA. The company is called Barrick Gold. The operation is planned by a multi-national company, one of whose members is George Bush Senior. The Chilean Government has approved the project to start this year, 2006. The only reason it hasn't started yet is because
the farmers have got a temporary stay of execution. If they destroy the glaciers, they will not just destroy the source of specially pure water, but they will permanently contaminate the 2 rivers so they will never again be fit for human or animal consumption because of the use of cyanide and sulphuric acid in the extraction process.

Every last gramme of gold will go abroad to the multinational company and not one will be left with the people whose land it is. They will only be left with the poisoned water and the resulting illnesses. The farmers have been fighting a long time for their land, but have been forbidden to make a TV appeal by a ban from the Ministry of the Interior. Their only hope now of putting brakes on this project is to get help from international justice. The world must know what is happening in Chile. The only place to start changing the world is from here.

We ask you to circulate this message amongst your friends in the following way. Please copy this text, paste it into a new email adding your signature and send it to everyone in your address book. Please will the 100^th person to receive and sign the petition send it to noapascualama@yahoo.ca to be forwarded to the Chilean government.

No to Pascua Lama Open-cast mine in the Andean Cordillera on the Chilean-Argentine frontier. We ask the Chilean Government not to authorize the Pascua Lama project
to protect the whole of 3 glaciers, the purity of the water of the San Felix Valley and El Transito, the quality of the agricultural land of the region of Atacama, the quality of life of the Diaguita people and of the whole population of the region.

Welcome to the May edition of Dowsing News. Well, now the long cold winter is over its time to dust off our dowsing rods and get some sun, if you’re lucky! Wessex Dowsers will be “going outside” for their June 19th meeting for some practical dowsing around Wareham, then again July 23^rd for our Field Trip to Knowlton Church circle (Members Only) click on our programme for details. After my talk to Wessex Dowsers last Monday I will be running a work shop on Raymon Graces dowsing for intent methods on July 1^st see details below.

A note for your Diary............ The famous Hamish Miller will be talking at Wessex Dowsers on September 18th! Places are limited with preference given to members. join now!

Before for you go on to read this newsletter some possibly important information: if any of you have sent in a course enrolment form to a Blandford address this will not have been received. Please contact me on 0870 428 0934 if you have not already done so. The correct address is Dowsing Direct, 6 Library Road, Parkstone, Poole, BH12 2BE. Also, the Dowsing for Beginners course on June 17^th & 18^th is running at the Kings Head Hotel in Wimborne and the Dowsing for intent will be running in Dorchester.

If you are a dowsing student past or present, Wessex Dowers member or just interested in Dowsing please drop me an email to put in the next newsletter so we can all keep in touch and see how you are all getting on.

Below I have reproduced an article from The Dowsers Club of South Australia. A witness in relation to dowsing is an aid to help us tune into what we are searching for.

There are two kinds of witnesses, a primary and a secondary. The primary witness is something that ties the pendulist to the person/animal for whom he or she is working. That can be yourself or another person or animal.

A witness can be a photograph or a negative, a signature, piece of hair, clothing that has been worn or used by the subject or a drop of blood.

It is interesting that the best witness found has been blood samples of the subject. In recent years science has found the DNA molecule test as a way of identifying the owner of blood. Strange how science has eventually realised what dowsers have known for centuries. It has been found that blood samples placed on an absorbent towel and placed in a cellophane envelope are reliable for using as a witness for many years. It is felt that blood has an ability to keep its vital radiation over a period of time better than the other witnesses.

A secondary witness is used to work on specific problems for the primary witness. Secondary witnesses are the names of things such as diseases, conditions harmful to the body, names of body parts, vitamins, colors etc. that may be indicated by the pendulum as needed to counteract a problem condition.

As an example it we were checking a friend for vitamin deficiency we could say a photograph of our friend to assist in tuning ourselves in. The photograph would be the primary witness. Then if we had written down a list of vitamins we could go down the list with our pendulum asking “is ?? deficient in this vitamin A and so on. This is a very efficient form of analysis and is a part of the most important part of dowsing which can best be describe as MAP DOWSING. The ability to detect and interpret subtle energies even when not actually at the particular place or with the person/animal at the time.

This like most things in life can be done by most of us with practice and the correct technique. Don’t be afraid to give it a try and if it doesn’t work as you would like ask for help from another dowsing friend.

And another article from the Dowsers Club of South Australia archives ……….

For the VETERINARY SURGEON, a few hairs if the sick animal will be sufficient to detect the medicine which is most suitable; it will then be possible for him to watch hour by hour the effect of the remedy, the modifications which must be right up to the cure, etc….

The APIARIAN DOWSER will immediately know that one of his colonies of bees is going to throw off a swarm, or that there will shortly be a new queen; whether the hive is queen less or possesses a virgin or fecundated queen, what is her age, etc…..

THE CHEMIST will manage to be able to estimate quantitatively and qualitavely, in a mixture, the salts, the metalloids in a colloidal state and non volatile organic matter, to make a complete separation into soluble and insoluble colloids by their size or molecular quantity; he will even be able to make analysis which it would be impossible to carry out chemically, etc; etc….

In MEDICINE, the dowser will see clearly through the chaos in which medicine still struggles to-day. Helped by clinical observations for which there can be no substitute, he determines the aetiology of diseases, establishes the strength of noxious germs, discovers the diseases or deficient organs; he decides upon an individual scientific therapeutic. One can make, thanks to radiations, a rapid diagnosis of an infection, by resonance between the sample of disease and the patient. Better, before the very first symptoms appear, that if say at a stage when the disease are still harmless and easy to find it will not be hard to detect them. Nearly 300 English, and French doctors habitually use dowsing.

In GEOLOGY, the dowser will easily discover underground waters, as well unknown springs, by determining their depth, yield, quality, temperature, bacteriogical purity (typhoid, bacillus colic etc.) It will be the same with petroleum, the different ores of gold, silver, lead, etc. dowsing enables one before commencing boring to excavation find springs or digging mines, or to locate cavities and thus determine the exact place where they should carried out. This permits to encounter the minimum of obstacles and to diminish considerably the cost of prospection and sounding, always high and sometimes dangerous or useless.

In a field of HUNTING, the phenomena are not less conclusive to determine at distance, on the spot or on the map, the exact place game is. Moveover, fishing banks are detected in the same way.

In CRIMINAL POLICE, one can foresee the infinitely valuable indications which may be obtained in criminal inquiry for instance. As dowsing can detect dead rabbits in their holes, so it is quite capable of discovering the body if a victim underground.

THE DOWSING AGRICULTURIST, will fertilise his soil by the analysis of the contents of the ground.

He will search for springs nearest to his home and outhouse, as well as find out if they are fit for drinking. He will discover soils emitting noxious rays (clefts containing water, radio-active rocks or clays) and he will avoid planting there trees which would become diseased. Among seeds, he will choose the best, and do the sane for plants, etc…. He will look after the state of health of his animals, determine whether eggs are fecundated or not, etc….

NOTARIES, will also value the ground before any transfer of property (water supply, deep and unused soil, etc..) ; whether wells have been dug at the places and whether it is not advisable to dig others elsewhere so as to obtain a greater yield, which will increase the value of the property: whether there are any noxious zones etc….

For the ARCHITECT, the careful dowser will know what site and direction a house, school, of factory should preferable be built, in order to bring all desirable comfort to the future inhabitants. He will see that there is not any underground stream or sheet of water, or subterranean cavities emitting “noxious radiations” which the instrumental in affecting progressively the health of the site giving them indefinable diseases, tumours, cancers, or other ills etc….

PIGEON –FANCYING, draws also from dowsing invaluable assistance for the determination of the adequate nourishment, with a view to obtaining from the pigeon, at the right moment, the maximum efficiency, knowing its sex, encouraging mating, foreseeing disease, studying its qualities of energy, instinct, ect….

In MILITARY MATTER, the dowser is able to render unaccountable service in war-time, in all circumstance: determination of the point of concentration of troops before the attack, locating the enemy’s camouflaged batteries, determining shelters, ammunition dumps. The natives of numerous countries use dowsing for instance to follow at distance submerged sub-marines.
