Carnac: The Energy Engine

Posted on September 8, 2010September 10, 2026 By Gwas 1 Comment on Carnac: The Energy Engine
Bookshelf, Dowsing, Quickie, Recommended

As part of a campaign to only read books that back up something that I have said already, I have been reading John Burke and Kaj Halberg’s book “Seed of Knowledge, Stone of Plenty” [Hmm..did the sarcasm of that statement really come across I wonder?]. The book had been recommended to me by Helen Lamb of the BSD when I went to their conference two years ago. Their current conference should be happening around now, too.

Last year I visited Carnac – a field of rows of standing stones, organised to march across the landscape like so many charging soldiers. I had the temerity to dowse the idea that Carnac was an energy generator. At the time my post attracted a scathing comments to the effect that I had no evidence for this, and that it was a groundless, nay stupid suggestion to make, and especially to make public.

The beautiful engine

I was reading the “Seed of Knowledge…” book and came across this statement:-

“When dawn brings a change in magnetic field strength, it actually generates weak DC currents in the ground. Like all electric currents, these telluric currents travel better in some media than others. Ground with lots of metal or water within it conducts these natural, daily currents particularly well. Drier or less metallic ground conducts it less well. When these two types of land intersect, we have what geologists call a conductivity discontinuity, and interesting things happen there. The ground current hitting this boundary has a tendency to either reinforce or weaken those daily magnetic fluctuations – sometimes by several hundred percent. This change in magnetic field strength in turn generates more electric current. So conductivity discontinuities are ‘happening places’. Their magnetic fluctuations and ground currents are much higher than in surrounding areas.” pp.10 Burke/Halberg

This statement made me think in two ways. Firstly, it reminded me that when I speak of “telluric currents” I ought to be very careful to define what I mean because clearly it most accurately refers to electrical energy in the ground. Secondly, it reminded me that my intuitive and dowsed responses, whether expressed in relative ignorance or not, frequently end up being defined much better by other researchers. I am so grateful that someone knows the science of the matter, because for me it was something that came to mind and which dowsing confirmed, but often one feels quite isolated by such a response, having nothing to base the result upon. Now, finally, I can make the argument for my findings with some new-found understanding.

In response to anyone who does not consider Carnac to have the function of being an energy engine, I now have TWO good arguments for why it is.

Gwas.
