Experiences of Dowsing Ancient Churches
A talk for the Devon, Trencrom, Tamar,
Somerset and Thames Valley Dowsing Groups
The oldest of our churches are veritable gold mines of information and experience for dowsers of all types. Almost all pre-reformation Christian buildings are built over the sacred sites of their Pagan antecedents. Indeed, Pope Gregory I instructed his missionaries and evangelists to do just that. For example, Montmartre in Paris was originally Mons Martis, the Mount of Mars, but was re-interpreted as Mons Martyris, the Mountain of the Martyr. However, there are many more accessible locations closer to home, such as the church at Alton Priors in Wiltshire, with its trap door displaying the megaliths under the floorboards. But, as John Moss so rightly encouraged us - don’t take his word for it, get out there and dowse it for yourself. It has always been one of his core messages.
