Coldridge Fair 2016
Coldridge was a “hot” ridge when five of us shared the Devon Dowsers stand at the annual fair on the 2nd July 2016. Sally had thoughtfully arranged a sturdy gazebo to shelter from the odd shower and the sun, which benefited both ourselves and her dance troop who were colourfully dancing inside the arena. Read more
The Tool Box – Another Encounter At The Survivalist Fair
It is always interesting to hear about how dowsing may be used in a person’s job or work place. A conversation arose on Rosemoor lawn with a member of the public who was telling me how he had used dowsing in desperation to find a water pipe running across a client’s garden. He was doing some ground works and whilst it was known there was a water pipe under the garden, no one knew where it was. Having dug numerous holes he could not find it so rang his father for advice who suggested dowsing for it which is what he did with a bit of wire, having never dowsed before. He successfully located the pipe saving a lot of time and further disruption to the garden.
He had not dowsed since, so we walked over the lawn and he found water and energy lines. We muscle tested the negative energy line and his arm easily sank to his side whilst standing on the edge of the line. We talked about his current work of hedge planting and stone wall building.
I asked him if he had noticed that in an established hedge line there was sometimes a gap where the hedge wasn’t growing or where one piece of hedge had died or had hardly grown. I suggested that the cause could be because a negative energy line was flowing under it. With “permission” this could be changed to positive, or diverted now he knew he could dowse with confidence. Without doing this, replanting would be a waste of time and money and could save a client both.
He then shared an observation that had baffled him when out in open country building stone walls. He noticed that for much of the time he and his work mates could make good progress but there were some days when for no apparent reason the whole team was lethargic and very little progress was made, and this could not be explained by an excess of lager the night before or Exeter City losing again. We speculated that a possible cause was that the work was taking place in an area of strong negative earth energy and that next time he could dowse for this and then either move the energy and/or ask for protection for him and his work mates.
What became apparent was that a pair of dowsing rods which stayed in his tool box, now looked like an essential piece of kit to bring to every work location.

Was there a Celtic Sanctuary in Mid-Devon? Part One.
If anyone out there enjoys a challenge, then read on….!
Well over a year ago I was contacted by Peter Green, the then chairman of Bow History Society, regarding my 2006 comment about the ‘nymets’ of mid-Devon on the Megalithic Portal website. (http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=8430) Read more
Was There A Celtic Sanctuary In Mid-Devon? Part Two.
Following last November’s [2011] article (Reprinted here in Part One of this post. Ed) in Devon Dowsers’ News and about our search for a major Celtic Sanctuary in the Bow area and the possible ‘water shrine’ that was dowsed in a field [SX677955] next to the infant River Yeo not far downstream from its source near Trundlebeer* (just north of the A30), I’m curious to know if anyone has anything further to add. Did any DD members physically check out the site with their rods or pendulums, or map-dowse this area? Read more

St.David`s Head, Pembrokeshire
Persephone (my second camper-van!) and I travelled to Pembrokeshire in July 2004. My objectives were twofold: to have a quiet, peaceful break, and to explore the area around St.David`s Head in more detail. I had previously spent a couple of days there the year before, on a trip back from Southern Ireland. What I saw, and felt, I liked, and decided to return to the area this year. Read more
My First Steps In Dowsing – On Road Construction in Devon.
Click To Enlarge The Picture
In the late 80’s I was involved in the construction of the North Devon Link Road (A361) up from Tiverton to where I lived in Barnstaple. At that time John Bowers was running Dowsing classes and having done the course, like many others kept heckling him for more advanced courses, to which his response happily was to start up Devon Dowsers in late 1992, to which we all joined.
