The British Society of Dowsers is moving to St Ann's Road in Malvern. A natural base you might think because of all the underground springs, but actually you'd be wrong. It's a misconception that dowsing is used purely to search for water. The Society includes two dowsers with two quite different approaches. Peter Ewence uses dowsing techniques for geophysical surveying. He's currently helping Hanley Villages Society make a history of the area using dowsing to show up changes in the earths background radiation. These changes can highlight archaeological structures underground. Daphne Adams is a Site Dowser and uses maps and pendulums to help people find things. Her successes using this technique include finding a wedding ring that had been lost for ten years. There are already 29 members of the British Society of Dowsers living in Worcestershire and 1100 members across the UK as a whole. |
