British Dowsing Forum

Interesting. So the Protestant and Catholic arms of the church both see an increasing need for excorcism. It kind of adds to the views of Llwellyn Vaughan-Lee (a Sufi) that we are in a period of "darkening". (See his "Darkening of the Light: Witnessing the End of an Era). If these obs...

Some of you may be interested in a documentary on BBC iplayer till Sunay night. Shown on BBC Northern Ireland on Monday it atmospherically follows a 73 year old farmer who is collecting cures for a book as he wants to record them before they (and the families who hold them) die out. Its dark, broodi...

There is a documentary on BBC 3 at 21:00 hours on Thursday 12 September. The subjects are 3 "all American, home schooled teenagers". They enjoy horseriding, martial arts (karate black belts) and expelling demons on stage. They believe they are "freedom fighters" and that the UK i...

Did anyone else notice the reference to "divining" in the Channel 4 documentary about the discovery and identification of Richard III last night. Phillipa Langley of the Richard III Society made a passing reference to the use of "divining" to discover stuff (accompanied by approp...

Hi Simon I agree - sound was very important at these sites. My even was more an "and also". The University of Reading with Dr David Keating has carried out a bit of research on sound waves at a number of recumbent sites and has found it to be channeled and amplified in the funnel of the re...

Recently for the first time I dowsed some of the recumbent stone circles of Aberdeenshire. The experience left me impressed by the power still found at some of the sites but above all gave me a needed reminder about the people who built the sites. Today we look at the stones for energy lines, for de...

Hi Recently I returned from my first dowsing trip to Ireland. Having dowsed at various places in both England and Scotland I was rather surprised how different dowsing in Ireland is. Rarely before have I experienced such a direct link to the past/the ancestors and to "spirituality". Never ...

Hi Graham, Mike, Harri, Geoff Pictish stones are notoriusly obscure but it is possible you might all be right. Graham is right in that the illustration is of a copy of the Aberlemno Stone and that Picitsh stones may well have marked land boundaries. Harri is right in that they also often recalled ba...

Hi Ian I found it as part of the current thread about dedicating your pendulum which refers to another thread in 2008 "What protection is needed for dowsing/automatic writing?" It was dated September 11 2008 and was towards the end of that thread. For me certain areas of dowsing in the han...

Hi A few recent posters have edged round the topic of dowsing and magic - be it "pendulum magic" or whether it is "spooky magic" that makes our tools move or (correctly as said) not. A post from 2008 also states that "1000's of years of mystical and magical experience by pri...

Hello Helen-Healing As a frequent poster to this Forum also I know that you are very interested in the etheric - orbs, sprites etc and appear to be very sensitive, so I am sorry to hear of your feelings. Can I suggest a solution perhaps. Find a water line (or two) that is commonly agreed to be a wat...

Hello Ian Can I say that in my opinion you as one of the regular contributors do a great deal to keep this Forum (and dowsing) alive. The regular paper extracts are at times the only thing to draw out comments and stop this from becoming a moribund area - so your efforts are really recognised and ap...

Hi Recently another member expressed concern about dowsing/dowsers reaching platform nine and three quarters. So what is holding us back? Here are a few thoughts. Feel free to disagree, add others if you want but at least think about them. Passion? - Not exactly. Focussed determination perhaps. Curi...

Hi I agree with Graham that the idea of bees and Rosslyn is not new -indeed it has been rasied in various threads and even in Andrew Gough's extensive work on bees and their significance (including their links to the fleur de lys). The north hive has featured in various books. However, I had not pre...

Hi It appears that Rosslyn Chapel has once again caused a buzz. Stonemasons restoring the fabric have found two stone beehives in the pinnacles of the roof the entry to which is through the centre of a stone flower. There appears to be honey in one of these at least. The honey was not for general us...
