DOWSING AND GEOMANCY
For a Western style geomancer, if geomancy
can be seen as providing us an energetic landscape in which
to work, dowsing may be considered one way of mapping exactly
where the mountains and rivers are located, which road you
need to follow to your destination, and how heavily populated
the towns may be.
Many geomancers, myself included, will ask to see a sitemap
showing the buildings and the rest of the plot before going
to visit a property. We use this to map dowse, or remote
dowse, the land and buildings to establish what detrimental,
and possibly beneficial, energies may be found there. Even
though this sounds completely unlikely, and probably crazy,
it is possible for many of us to check for the presence
of earth energies and other targets just as effectively
from a drawing as if we were right outside the front door.
Distance is irrelevant; it makes no difference if the client
is in the US, France, Aberdeenshire, London, Dublin or Timbuktu.
(Interestingly, remote viewing, a very similar skill is
another tool that has been of some interest to the military).
Clearly, this service is of considerable use to a perspective
client as it can quickly be established if a full consultation
is actually required, or if the client needs to consider,
perhaps, a property maintenance-related solution to his
difficulties.
During an on-site consultation, most geomancers will dowse the precise
edges of any underground streams or energy leys that may be
causing geopathic stress, as well as dowsing to identify where
we need to treat the situation. (Clearly, while we can get a
reasonably good fix on locations from the map, the difference
in scale between a sheet of A4 and the actual site speaks for
itself in terms of precision when it comes to physically
“pinning a line”). Many geomancers and dowsers also use
dowsing to read the energy in the space and clear any other
blockages or spirits that we feel need to be released, as well
as crucially checking when the job is done.
Dowsing Sacred Sites
Another key use of divining in geomancy comes into its own
when visiting sacred sites, be they stone circles, more
accurately called stone rings, labyrinths, old churches
or temples, sacred mountains or holy wells.
Many sacred sites seem to share a number of similar features,
such as underground water lines, energy leys, blind springs
(called water domes in the US), and energy spirals. These
tend to be known collectively as “Earth Energies”.
Given that earth energies and even other physical features
are hidden from our view, just as the significance of the
stones used in stone rings themselves has largely become
hidden down through the millennia, dowsing is a very effective
tool to analyse the energetic make-up of a particular site,
thus enhancing our understanding of what our ancestors may
have been trying to achieve, as well as some of the underlying
energetic infrastructure of the Earth. Many dowsers can
even determine where missing stones may have stood! Earth
energies dowsers and geomancers can also dowse to determine
the effect that a particular site has on each of us, and
on our health and well-being.
