Dowsing Magic Book Two: From grumpy gnomes to healthy homes

The latest book by Grahame Gardner has been added to the resources page.

From the introduction: There are many books on the market about house healing, yet most of these seem to be based around conventions of space-clearing and de-cluttering in the style of feng-shui. The few that are aimed at dowsers generally deal with ‘hands-off’ healing techniques using focused intent and visualisation. While these can be helpful, I wanted to author a book that looks at the more practical, hands-on, aspects of house healing – those that are employed on the ground, so to speak. However, the book is not just about house healing, nor is it just about dowsing. The first part of the book explores more philosophical and esoteric concepts such as shamanism, magick, the memory of water, the nature of consciousness and reality – ideas that go beyond pure dowsing and are better housed under the mantle of geomancy. Dowsing is merely the tool that helps us to access these areas. The latter part of the book applies these models to the art of healing sick houses.

Memories of Charles Hubbard’s Farm

By: Silvana Castillo

I recently found some pictures that Brian Winstanley took of Charles’ farm in 2015.

Charles hosted many tours at his farm, where the opportunity for collective dowsing was the highlight of the visit. He had created different structures in powerful spots on his land, that would intensify the energies and favour good production of food with high vitality.

These structures include a rock circle with a cross antenna in the centre, a stone circle in the garden with a rose in the centre, a greenhouse inside a pyramid, raised beds using paramagnetic cinder blocks under pyramids, a labyrinth for people, a labyrinth for horses to heal people, a compost pile with the shape of a cross in the crossing of two energy lines.

Inside the house, there were many other things that are not seen in these photos!

Charles and Brian were always trying to find new ways to prove that energies were present, besides the dowsing rods.

I remember we talked about how to know for sure whether the food we were growing had more vitality. And, in what ways we could show others that working with Nature energies increases food vitality. The Kirlian camera can capture auras and was perfect for showing the energetic body of a living being (such as an apple, for example). Unfortunately, however, it was too expensive.

Later we discovered the refractometer and that was a wonderful tool for measuring food vitality, and it was also valuable in evaluating our soils (the vitality of the food also comes from the vitality of the soil).

So, at this day of the pictures, Brian had come up with a plastic hard film that would focus on the energies if present, rather than being diffused as a normal lens would do.

Brian also took pictures of Orbs in Scotland, which I am compelled to include one in this blog.

Ley lines: The UK’s mysterious ancient pathways

I came across this interesting article by Bel Jacobs on the BBC website, dated November 2, 2022. The author explores the six day journey, and resulting art, of artist and performer bones tan jones, along some of these ancient roads.

“I’ve always been interested in the opposition between the natural and the artificial, the sacred and the un-sacred,” explains tan jones. “So I decided to walk from the entrance of the Silvertown tunnel… to the monumental stone circle at Stonehenge, and see how I could connect them.”

Bel also explores some of the history of ley lines through the writings of several authors.

“Ley lines? Energy lines? Surely the preserve of myth makers and fairy followers? Not to start with. The term was originally posited, just three years after the end of World War One, by Alfred Watkins, a councillor in rural Herefordshire in the UK. Born in 1855 into a well-to-do farming family, Watkins was also an amateur archaeologist; it was while out riding in 1921 that he looked out over the landscape and noticed what he later described as a grid of straight lines that stood out like “glowing wires all over the surface of the county”, in which churches and standing stones, crossroads and burial mounds, moats and beacon hills, holy wells and old stone crosses, appeared to fall into perfect alignment.”
