In Last month’s journal we mentioned that Adrian and Barbara Crocker would be unable to host the annual WDS Fire-festival this year, due to flooding having delayed essential work at their farm. However, Jill and Paul have kindly stepped in and are offering us the use of a field at their farm, this year, instead. The date will be 4th November, further details later.
We are back to normal field trips again after the August break, and the September one is a visit to the site known as Lambourn Seven Barrows. This set of Bronze-age barrows actually has far more than seven barrows, probably as many as twenty or more, including most if not all of the different styles of barrow. There is a chambered Neolithic long-barrow only a quarter of a mile away, at the south end of Westcot Wood.
This is what makes the site so important and it is reckoned to be one of the finest barrow cemeteries in England.
The northern group of barrows are mostly in two rows on an East/West alignment, with the other seven outlying near the Neolithic long-barrow.
The remaining seven are to the South of the site and are all smaller and not all have been excavated.
I assume that the “Seven Barrows” name comes from the fact that the site includes two groups of seven barrows each, which were probably identified as such at different times.
We will be spoiled for choice, with so much dowsing potential in such a comparatively small area. Last time I was there I remember the wild flowers and butterflies were worth a visit in their own right.
Lunch is planned to be at the Royal Oak at Bishopstone as it proved to be very popular with our members the first time we went there, back in May. Although the prices are just a little higher than at many of the pubs we eat at, this is reflected in the quality of the mainly organic local food, prepared on the premises.
With luck, it will be much drier than on that occasion, when we had to abandon the White Horse and do old churches instead.
The August meeting was a “members night” with discussions of topics that had been mentioned at the last meeting, and also “question and answer” sessions, which gives members the chance to learn from each others dowsing experiences.
Geoff Wolford explained his theory of weather manipulation, which was interesting and Michael gave a dowsing demonstration of how to check a plant’s reaction to human treatment of it. Bea and several others also experimented on the plant, using various techniques, and the plant, a peanut, went home looking very pleased with all the attention!
Thanks are due to Shaun who heroically soldiered on through the meeting, answering many queries from members, in spite of the fact that he was recovering from getting a severe chill at Chedworth the day before.
Thanks also to every one who came along on what is usually a very quiet month, due to holidays.
The Wyvern Dowsing Society were again invited to the Crop Circle event organised annually by Francine Blake, which was held at Marlborough College for the third year running.
We had been keeping fingers crossed that the appalling weather we had been having would stay away, as the two old gazebos that we set up the stall in had faded into the sunset and the new tent was still to arrive,
However, the day before the event the tent, a small marquee, arrived and Shaun spent the evening working out how the frame went up. The next morning saw us at the crack of dawn in our allocated spot at the college playing origami with lots of large pieces pf tent-cloth. The tent eventually proved surprisingly easy to put up, especially after we read the instructions, and proved to be a vast improvement on the previous set-up, looking quite impressive
A sigh of relief went up and we were able to get on with building a labyrinth and setting up the sales stall.
Lots of interesting people came to have brief dowsing lessons and to chat, and the weekend went off very pleasantly – we made nearly enough money to pay for the new tent!
What a difference – the weekend following the Crop Circle event was WET, So much so that if we had not had the new tent it would have been a complete wash-out. As it was, we were able to accommodate a number of people under cover to demonstrate and talk about dowsing. Shaun bravely leapt out into the rain at frequent intervals to give lessons over the underground stream that crosses the lawn, and also over some archaeological features that we were able to confirm findings of, as we had a copy of the geophysical survey.
It was enjoyable despite the weather, but obviously the reduced number of visitors meant that our takings were a lot lower than is usual for this event.
The labyrinth, surprisingly did not get washed away. This was a good thing as we did not intend braving the rain to keep rushing out to do repairs, which is what normally happens.
I was surprised at the number of people who did turn up, and it was good to have done our bit to help boost the attendance figures at this interesting and beautiful site, in what has been a poor season for tourists at most outdoor attractions, due to the bad weather.
Keep your fingers crossed for finer weather next season!
Here is another fragment from the Society’s archive. An article by our past president the late Denis Wheatley which appeared in the June 1994 newsletter.
Some members have requested information on high frequency colour dowsing. An energy can be identified by three parameters: its colour on a 13 colour spectrum; its frequency in terms of multiples of light speed 1C,2C,3C,4C,5C and infinite, 00; its polarity as ‘magnetic’ (elevating) or ‘electric’ (enervating). Multiples of light’s speed may be difficult to comprehend to those who are familiar with Einstein’s special theory of relativity which postulates that no object can attain the speed of light as it would require an infinite amount of force to achieve this. Light’s speed was thus regarded as the Universe’s limiting velocity, and a universal constant. However, both Oxford University and the USA Caltech workers have introduced the ‘Tachyon’ concept wave particles which travel faster than light and which would require an infinite amount of force to decelerate them to light’s speed. Bernard Leitaer calls the regions beyond light’s speed ‘Tachyon territory’, but why, you may be thinking, does one express frequency in terms of light’s speed? The speed of light, ‘C’, is equal to its wavelength times its frequency, i.e.
C = WL x f
so C is simply another shorthand way of representing its frequency in the right-hand part of the equation. As visible light has a wavelength of around 4-7x10.5cm then light’s frequency would be:
f=2.997925x10
4to7x10 -5
which clearly is too onerous to handle. So keep it simple is always best; forget the complex. Draw a circle of around 6 inches diameter and fold it into a semi-circle. Divide one side into 13 equal segments from the base centre point and, starting from the left-hand side, write in the following colour sequence into the segments: negative green, black, brown, infra red, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, ultra-violet, white. If you have coloured pencils then colour them in appropriately instead of writing. On the opposite side, from the centre of the base line, draw a semicircle of 1 inch radius and bisect it with a vertical line. In the left sector write ‘magnetic’ and in the right sector write ‘electric’. Now divide the semi-circular sector beyond this into 6 equal segments. Starting from the left-hand side write into the segments: 1C,2C,3C,4C,5C and make a semi-circle of cardboard and insert it between the semicircular sheets to strengthen them. Seal the assembly with clear plastic sheeting, and cellotape and you have a dowsing aid that can be used in all weathers, and on wet grass or earth. Also, it will not be affected by winds. In use one uses a pendulum in the static, or circular swing, mode to define, in sequence, colour, frequency and polarity. Infinite frequency, white, magnetic, is the highest spiritual combination. Negative green is inimical to health and should be avoided if discovered. Cats are attracted to it but other animals avoid it. Stinging nettles thrive on it. If you see a clump of isolated nettles on open ground there is a strong probability that the location is negative green. In dowsing for the parameters place the aid on the palm of the left hand. Hold the pendulum so that the bob is around 1-2 inches centrally from the aid and at a height above it so that it can skim, linearly, above the aid’s surface to target the segments of colour, frequency and polarity and produce a ‘spectral profile’.
Last month I was bemoaning the fact that our tomatoes had been badly affected by blight. I mentioned that I had had the idea of contacting the homoeopathic pharmacy who I get most of my supplies from, once I had plucked up the courage to do so. I eventually rang them up and asked if they minded a silly question and they told me to fire away. The pharmacist’s response to my query about homoeopathic medicine for tomatoes was “ I thought you said you had a silly question!” She not only recommended using a solution of Calcium Carbonate as a foliar drench, but suggested that it would probably be possible to make up a specific remedy from an actual diseased tomato.
Although this is too late for the current season, I am certainly going to try it next year, starting early to build up the plants resistance in the same way that one uses pollens as a prophylactic.
Calcium Carbonate is used in homoeopathy for the treatment of many fungal conditions including athletes foot and thrush, so might well work efficiently should the disease take hold.
Dowsing could be used to ascertain the quantities, method of application, frequency of use, time of day to apply, etc.
Presumably the same remedies could be used for potato blight, which is basically the same thing, along with any similar blights on aubergines and peppers, although these are not so vulnerable to the disease as potatoes and tomatoes.
I believe Shaun and Mary have been using the homoeopathic remedy Cocculus on their tomatoes with some success. Michael suggested using Kinesiology, in addition.
Some gardeners advocate the use of energy devices and generators to improve their gardens by changing, moving or cleansing the energy. In theory this is a good idea but it would be essential to check that you are not swapping one set of problems for another – for example by moving a stream of detrimental energy to your house or a neighbour’s house or garden. Dowsing the area carefully should give the answers as to location, size and general suitability of using such a device, of which a number are available. Several examples are given below:
The Genesa Crystal – a device made of four copper circles, usually about two feet in diameter. This acts as an antenna to attract energy, cleanse it and spin it back out into the environment. Info from The Genesa Foundation,4702 San Jacinto Terrace, Fallbrook, CA92028, U>S>A>
Tensor Energy Poster – generates “Pyramid Energy.
Copper rods – can be used to block “black energy streams”.
Ionisers.
Genesa is a registered trademark of the Genesa Foundation. The device was developed in the 1940’s in South America by Dr. Derald Langham while he was working in plant genetics. He found that certain shapes represent natural growth patters through which energy flows.
In the Perelandra Garden Workbook, the author, Machaelle Small Wright, describes how the one used in her garden draws in energy from a radius of about two miles, cleanses and balances it and then sends it out again. Smaller ones can be used for similar purposes in a house.
The device need not be made of copper, and it is suggested that you check using kinesiology [or dowsing] for the most appropriate material to use for your chosen site.

For those of you not familiar with Chedworth Roman Villa here is a plan of the site. This is a peaceful and beautiful place well worth a visit.
Plan of Chedworth Roman Villa
The house and visitor centre are without mains water and depend on a bore hole for their water. This bore hole goes down on to any underground stream that crosses below the inner court. We use this stream as a target when we give our quickie dowsing lessons.
