Helsby Hill, Cheshire. September 21st 2008
A short while ago I got back up Helsby Hill. I had been reading about Hamish Miller finding rainbow ‘ribbons’ of energy, and I needed to get a handle on that. As Kal has mentioned in a comment to the previous post our brains had been scrambled by the malign energies emitted from the electricity pylons on top of Runcorn Hill, so I wanted to repeat the experiment at a place that I knew was unencumbered by such things. Helsby Hill is close, and clear of energetic obstructions!
At the top, I already knew that the trig.point marker was the centre of the energetic patterns on the hill. I also had dowsed along the paths nearby and knew where the boundaries of the energy fields were, so i deposited my bag of rods outside that area, took a pair in hand, and started heading towards the trig.point.
The first colour I asked for was RED. It was the first one I found, marking the boundary of the path which leads past the summit, and that connects to the path leading off the hill at the back. Next I chose GREEN. This had been Hamish’s next colour, and he had stated that he didn’t think the colours were in the same order as rainbows, i.e. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. I walked about six or seven feet and then got a splitting of the rods indicating a boundary for this colour. There was quite a gap between red and green! If the distances of the bands at Runcorn Hill was anything to go by then there ought to be something in between those, I thought to myself.
I went back to the start again, and this time I dowsed for a random colour (but not indigo, I couldn’t envisage that colour at that moment). I imagined YELLOW. Where woudl that appear? I went past the red marker, and a few feet later it registered for yellow. OK. Yellow is past red. “Richard Of York…” – I went through the old mnemonic for remembering the order of the rainbow colours. If that was the correct order I should get ORANGE in between red and yellow. I stepped back and started from the outer edge again. In between red and yellow I got orange’s boundary. “Red and yellow and pink and green...” sang a little ditty in my head – STOP – those aren’t in the right order – don’t follow that!
So now I had red, orange, yellow in the right order, and beyond that green. Given the fairly even 3 feet width of the bands so far I reckoned there was enough room for one more band before green. Wonder if it would be blue? I set my head for BLUE and repeated the dowsing from the outside edge again. Yep – there it was! Right where I had expected it. Now I quickly dowsed for VIOLET and found it only a few feet out from the trig.point. What about INDIGO? I still couldn’t picture its colour spectrum. I took a moment to recall it – it was a mixture of blue and violet wasn’t it? So, if I just picture such a mix…..Now I found it. About three inches from the stone pillar. Excellent! All in almost rainbow order.
RED – ORANGE – YELLOW – BLUE – GREEN – INDIGO – VIOLET
Although, I would swear when I first dowsed it Indigo and Violet were the other way around too, but I put that down to my inability to picture indigo as a colour the first time I found it. Perhaps something else was going on. The sun was just starting to set, and I wondered of the bands might change order depending upon the time of day? I can verify that next week by going to the same place at different times of day.
With the order and placement verified many times, extremely consistently in terms of placement of the boundary markers and the strength of the rod’s response, I turned my attention to direction of flow. Miller had drawn a diagram of several bands of energy which went in differing directions. I dowsed for the direction at each of the markers :-
Red – went sunwise; Orange – sunwise; Yellow – widdershins; Blue – sunwise; Green – widdershins; Indigo – widdershins; Violet – sunwise.
Next I measured the distance between the markers, using my foot as a measure (I take UK size 12 boots, so they’re about 15 inches in length). The measurements were:-
Red band – 3 paces; Orange band – 2 paces; Yellow band – 7 paces; Blue band – 6.5 paces; Green band – 6 paces; Indigo band – 2 paces; Violet band – 3-6 inches.
I thought next about dowsing to see if they formed a complete circle around the trig.point. I had the idea of following the direction of flow to do this. I started with red, and went left. It formed a wide oval around the stone pillar to return exactly to where I had started. I did the same for orange, which made a slightly smaller oval, passing slightly closer to the central point at its narrowest point. Then I did yellow. And it took me off behind where I had started, into the long grass at the back of the hill! Well, I didn’t expect that!
Now I was baffled, so I paused for a moment to think about it. I had followed the direction of flow for the first two and they had formed an oval around the centre. Both times I had gone left. I dowsed the yellow band heading left against its direction of flow. It formed a smaller oval inside the orange band! OK! I was able to do the same for the other bands too, and each one got smaller and smaller and always returned back to the corresponding marker.
So, what happens if you dowse the other way? I started with red, and it formed a large oval on the other side of my start point – down the hill, instead of around the central pillar – behind me instead of in front. Orange and yellow and blue lines did the same. The yellow line actually spiralled into itself as it came back towards the path, but didn’t touch it. How often do we see that? Energy morphing itself to fit in without touching other lines?
Satisfied with that much I watched the sun setting over the Weaver estuary, and then set off back down the hill. On the way down I felt myself ‘click into’ the snaking energy current that came off the hill. It pulled me downwards and made me walk left then right, then back again. I concentrated on trying to observe where I felt that feeling within my body. There was a pull in my head, around the temples, and also in my legs. Suddenly, I felt a sharp tug to the left, to veer in a tight arc off the path. I felt the urge to circle around quickly, so I stopped and wondered whether I was really following an energy trail.
I used my rods to dowse back up the path. I had been walking along the strongest path of energy, and it did indeed swirl to the left at exactly the point I felt the tug in my head and legs! Further dowsing showed that the energy trail began to break up into a series of spirals that lead off to the left of the path into the undergrowth.
Well, now I’m beginning to know what that feeling is in my head, and to be able to recognise it as the tug of energy. Could be useful!
