From the Editor
Christmas is normally a time of rejoicing with family and friends. The last few years, Covid-19 has prevented us from the social interaction that normal life affords us. So this year, I look forward to seeing you all in person in December at the usual location in Hunters Hill.
We will be having a special day on December 11th. Remember that the meeting is on the Second Sunday of December. After the speaker’s presentation we will share drinks and plates of food. We should all bring something to share, and we can enjoy each other’s company to close the
year on a high note.
On behalf of the President and the entire committee I want to wish you all a great festive season, and also convey my personal best wishes to you
all for the coming year 2023.
Let us hope that it will be filled with more light, truth, prosperity and peace.
Until next time,
Dowsing is a Wonderful Tool
By Marty Lucas
Reprinted from the American Society of Dowsers, Spring 2022
Here at the American Society of Dowsers (ASD), we teach dowsing and have records of dowsers going back more than 60 years. There are documented accounts of dowsers that have found hundreds of wells.
Other dowsers seek energy lines, some work in health and wellness fields and others use dowsing to find people, pets and things. But many dowsers
keep their dowsing separate. It’s as if, when they want to dowse, they stop doing whatever they were doing, dowse, then return to their everyday
activities.
Others seem to use dowsing as a parlour trick, to be taken out, played with, then put away. That doesn’t work for me. For me, dowsing is no
more a separate part of life than breathing or walking. When you really understand what dowsing is and what it can do, it turns into an everyday
thing.
It isn’t special. It isn’t miraculous. It’s just another part of living. I don’t say that to take away from how wonderful dowsing can be. But as a way
to simply tell you: it’s just another part of who you are. That’s why I find myself dowsing all the time.
Of course, I dowse for the best fruits and vegetables at the market. Of course, I dowse for the best routes when I’m travelling, and I evaluate my
supplements before I take them. That’s just common sense. But I use it for much more than that. In my business, I must evaluate a lot of information to help determine the best outcomes. So, I dowse, advantages and disadvantages.
On my farm, I like to dowse to see which piece of equipment needs my attention that day. I also use dowsing to fine tune my questions. I form a
question and dowse to see how effective it is. Then I craft and perfect the question until it’s over 90 percent effective. I’m sure I don’t know enough
to ask perfect questions. But I can work to craft the questions I have and make them better and better.
Simply incorporating this basic skill set into my daily routines has made my life a lot easier. Some may ask, “if you can dowse an answer, why think?” Certainly, if you’re dowsing the questions on a test, there may be some serious issues if you ever need to actually know the information. But
dowsing doesn’t replace thinking and studying.
Without thinking and studying, you cannot craft good questions. And as have all learned, if you ask the wrong question, you always get the wrong
answer. Recently, in my work, I reached a point where I didn’t know where the next advance or discovery would come.
That happens every so often when you work on the leading edge of any pursuit. But when I looked at where my greatest discoveries came from
the previous year, each one was linked to something I studied, or someone I spoke to. Without those interactions, I wouldn’t have had the questions to ask. Without the questions, I wouldn’t have made the discoveries.
On my website, I list several frequency packages healers use around the world. Many have been superseded by better, more powerful, and more
complete ones. It isn’t that the older ones aren’t good. They are. In fact, they’re far superior to what I can find on the market elsewhere. But the
newest ones are the best ones. They’re better, not because I’m a lot smarter now, or luckier, or whatever. They’re better because I am asking better
questions now than ever before.
My dowsing is about as good as ever. It runs at about 85 percent accuracy. If I applied what I’ve learned at different dowsing classes, I could probably improve that accuracy rate. But at 85% accuracy I get good results. I use those results and build upon them.
Since I use my dowsing every day, I ask a lot of questions. Since I ask a lot of questions, the quality of my questions has improved. So even at a
B+, my dowsing is more effective than someone that has 100 percent accuracy but doesn’t use it.
What good is having a skill you don’t use? If you want better results, ask more questions. The more questions you ask, the better the questions
will become. The more you use your dowsing skills, the more your other intuitive abilities will develop.
You’ll find a time when you ‘know’ the answer before you even ask it. You learn to trust that ‘gut feeling.’ The time will come when your dowsing
tool will simply verify what you already know.
That is why I use my dowsing all the time. I enjoy the benefits of getting good answers. But I also enjoy the enhanced intuition. That connection
brings good things into my life and helps the not-so-good things to leave.
It helps me understand that everything is always just as it should be. The only thing that could possibly be out of place is me or my responses. I see
the world as if She is doing everything in her power to support and guide me.
When I fall off the path, I can tell, because the coincidences and synchronicities go away. Then I use my dowsing tools and skills to find my way back into the ‘groove.’ Dowsing has helped me understand that there’s only one person I’m any good at being: me. I also understand that when I quit trying to fill a role, all I have to do is be myself.
There are those who find me to be completely insufferable. There are others who feel differently. But by giving up on the pretence of being anything else, I find I can be happy. The more you use your intuition, the more you will have to be yourself.
By being who you really are, you will attract the people and events that resonate with you. Why would I want to attract people that resonate with anything else?
So, if you’re uncomfortable using your dowsing tools in public, learn to dowse without tools. I don’t pull out my pendulum in the grocery store
(anymore) … I don’t have to. In fact, when I learned to dowse without tools, I found myself dowsing more often.
If I could leave you with one thing, it would be this: use your skill. Don’t think you have to follow some complicated ritual. Don’t think you have
to dowse the same way as anyone else. Just dowse. Use your skill, develop your skill and watch your life improve.
Time for Divine Intervention to Find Water
By Patrick Coyne
Reprinted from the The New Zealand Society
of Dowsing & Radionics Inc
The unwelcome and now familiar news is that in many parts of this country, severe drought conditions exist, and water restrictions continue to apply, or are now being imposed.
Weather experts predict the climate is changing in a way that could bring more, even worse, droughts. Any water that we can find underground is going to be vitally important. Therefore, we need people able to harness the power of water finding, often called ‘water divining’.
You, too, can find water. An acknowledged expert in water divining maintains that 30% to 40% of the population have this mysterious ability to find underground water by ‘dowsing’. If that is so, then there’s a fair chance that you, the reader of this article, can do it, whether you’re aware
of it or not.
Admittedly, water divining or dowsing is a strange talent, and has been ever since it was first recorded in 16th century woodcuts. Surprisingly, at
the start of the 19th century, a local government board in England gave official recognition to the practice.
In 1927, the London Times ran a leading article on the subject, ‘Dowsers and Doubters’, and the paper was immediately flooded with letters from
readers who said they had used water divining successfully for years, and from others who denounced the whole thing as bunk, or worse, dabbling
in black magic.
Glasgow University Professor JW Gregory told how contractors working on the foundations of St Paul’s Cathedral in London had used a water
diviner to find the position of water under the crypt. But, he then hastily emphasised he was one of the ‘doubters’.
To this day, many scientists find it hard to believe in something as difficult to pin down as dowsing. To call it an inexact science, some say, would be to pay it a compliment. However, if you talk to most rural people about water-divining, they’ll ask what all the fuss is about. Their fathers and forefathers used water diviners as a matter of course, therefore, why shouldn’t they?
South Africa is no different. On the platteland, water-ways is an accepted and respectable profession. In an article in the SA Water Borehole Journal in 1982, the opinion was expressed that there were about 50 competent and experienced diviners in South Africa, and probably thousands more who were unaware of their latent divining abilities.
In one region of the country where rainfall is the exception rather than the rule, Bushmanland, famous water diviners of bygone years were Jakob Kaptein, Johannes Nel and Jakob Nel. In the Sutherland region, the name of Burret le Roux is renowned for his ability. In the drought ravaged regions of KwaZulu-Natal, it seems Thomas Ncube has been finding water for 20 years or more.
As reported in a local paper in 1983, Ncube worked for a drilling company run by Hugh Moore, who said that over a two-year period he had sunk about 320 holes, of which at least 200 had drinkable water. Among other prominent names are KZN diviner Oscar Danielsen, who discovered he had the gift in 1947 and Raymond Stone of Hammarsdale.
At the height of the 1984 drought, Joep Joubert of Grootvlei, then 74 years old, had been finding water for 30 years without using the traditional forked stick. He simply “saw” where the water was.
During the drought that hit the Midlands in 1993, it was reported how diviner and well-driller Lloyd van Schalkwyk was in great demand throughout the region.
Van Schalkwyk said he had got into water divining by accident when he was only 16, when an old diviner had handed him a pair of rods and said,
“Now you try”. He still uses brass rods, and has a 100% success rate. He prefers to call himself an ‘aqua-geophysicist. At the time of writing Van
Schalkwyk was in Malawi on a seven-week water project.
All sorts of people find they have the gift of water divining. In 1983, Anglican priest Ken Parker had helped his bishop by finding water at a parched church farm at Springvale.
A priest? Why not? The writer’s late uncle, a canon in the Anglican church, no less, was matter-of-fact about water divining. He could do it, and there was no mumbo jumbo about it. It was a God-given gift Ralph Whitlock, of Devon, England, explains how to make the most popular kind of dowsing instrument, a forked ‘twig’. He says it should be of some whippy, flexible wood such as elm, hazel, or willow. The pointer (the central part of fork) could be 1 to 2cm thick at the tip, tapering to just under 1cm at the ends of the arms.
The pointer might be 15-20cm long, and the arms each 30cm long. But these dimensions need not be exact. The wishbone-shaped twig (called a mikstok in Afrikaans) doesn’t need to be of wood. Twisted wire, or even rods of brass or aluminium, have been used successfully. But Whitlock claims that metal instruments might possibly not be able to distinguish between underground water or buried metal.
How is the fork held and used? Grasp it by the ends of its arms with your palms upwards, thumbs on top of the wood. With elbows braced against the sides of the body, try to bend the arms of the fork further apart so it is in a state of extreme tension. Walk forward. If water is underground, the pointer will either point downwards or move up and hit you in the chest.
Some dowsers say that if you walk against the direction of the underground stream, the pointer goes up, while if you walk with the flow it goes down. Others say that a downward movement means that the water is polluted.
Mark the spot where the first reaction is felt. Then walk back from the other direction towards that spot. Again mark the spot where a reaction is experienced. A point midway between the two markers is the location of the underground water. The fork does not react to bodies of open water and it’s not essential to work outdoors, it can be done inside a house.
D. St. Leger-Gordon, of Devonshire, says many natural faculties remain unclassified by science. He gives as an example, the instinct which guides a young migrating bird on its first journey. It’s interesting most water diviners seem indifferent to, or actively resist, publicity. It adds to the aura of mystery – and doubt – that surrounds their craft. Perhaps the time has come for a programme of scientific, organised research on the subject.
