Map dowsing of a sort

Dowsing, Experiment, Gwalchmai or Gawain, How To, Modern Druidry

The nights are still closing in early as we are literally in the middle of the winter if we take winter as Dec – Jan – Feb months, eugh! So I was playing around with some old-fashioned dowsing with a pendulum last night.

As a previous post suggests I am becoming interested in Knighthood and with that in mind I wondered if there was any site that would be helpful to visit.

I went over to our Sites page and printed off the list of sites. Getting my ‘yes’ and ‘no’ responses sorted out:

With a pendulum our YES and NO responses aren’t fixed as they seem to be with dowsing rods. With rods you tell the rods that a cross is a Yes and a open is a no. With a pendulum you ask for a Yes response and then ask for a No one. Currently my Yes is a circular motion and No is a back and to motion.

With one hand holding the pendulum and the other hands finger traversing the list I asked to show me which site(s) would be useful to visit.

Let me begin by saying that I was hoping for sites such as Tintagel (i.e. related to Arthur) and Nine Stones Close or Ye Ancient Yew (my favourite learning sites).

Instead, out of all of the sites I got one! Just one, I did it three times and even had a go with my hands so far apart that I couldn’t see the list.

The site? Lud’s Church! Gwas has visited this site twice I think and I haven’t had the pleasure. Why Lud’s Church? I  have no idea, but expect a report from that place soon!

Kal Malik – A knights Quest!

Addendum

A quick email exchange with Gwas the next day had him suggesting that Lud’s church had a connection with the Green Knight. So with my trusty servant aka Google I wandered the web in search of references and found a fair few!

Perhaps I should be looking to the tale of Sir Gawain and the Green (Glas) Knight?
