Are the ancient stones related to unusual energies that can be detected by dowsing?
In recent years claims have emerged that stone circles may have a most unexpected characteristic. Much has been made of ideas such as ley lines and the idea that they act as conduits for some form of energy. Since many stone circles lie on such lines suggestions have been made that the may act as foci for such energies or be nodes on a network. Needless to say these ideas have received the short shrift from many archaeologists who believe them to be nonsense. On the other hand many devotees of the idea have claimed that they have been able to detect unusual light and sound phenomena at the circles. Many dowsers also claim to be able to use their rods and pendulums to detect the energies responsible for these phenomena. I have always been sceptical of such claims, and indeed of dowsing itself. However I needed to revise my ideas about dowsing when I was given a demonstration of it in action to find water. I was then able to use the technique to find water myself. Of course, I did not kn
