I then proceeded to do this – it took two months and, perchance, I finished it on the day the war ended! I have never fully understood the significance of this. Having done a lot of research, on the very morning of the outbreak of the Falklands War in 1982, I awoke feeling driven to draw this map, quite spontaneously. ![]() I had done similar work in Uppland (around Uppsala), the ancient heartland of Sweden, in the 1970s, and had 'learned the ropes' in North Wales in the early 1970s. I drew the original version of this map by hand in 1982, on the basis of lengthy previous researches in Mid-Somerset. Dowsing isn't a systematic, standardised science. There is also much debate among dowsers as to how to classify the energies they variously identify when dowsing. It would require massive work by large teams, financial support and lots of time, since energy-lines fluctuate and move in ways that no one has fully been able to study. Surveying and compiling a map of dowsable energy lines would be complex and possibly unachievable. ![]() There can indeed be a certain geomantic 'twang' to alignments, but it's not the same as dowsable earth-energy lines, which move in very naturalesque, non-straight ways. Alignments and energy-leys are different things and should not be confused. The existence of a line on this map does not necessarily mean it can be dowsed today, though some can. They 'plugged' their sites into the network by carefully locating, designing and aligning their earth, stone and wood constructions. The ancients presumably saw energy and significance in such alignments. ![]() They simply show alignments of ancient sites and natural features, as identifiable on detailed Ordnance Survey maps. The alignments on this map do not show 'energy lines', identifiable by using dowsing, sensitivity or 'second sight'.
