Yes, that's how I read it. Dowsing is difficult to disentangle from 'intentionality' though the trick with three similar pieces of cardboard and just one of them with a coin underneath is quite easy. An ash penddulum. And you wouldn't diss dowsers among upland farmers in the Pennines - that's how the new wells are found. I had a little contact with Paul Devereux over his new magazine recently (he never got back). One of my favourite filmmakers used to go to bed at nine o'clock, reputedly, so he could dream freely (Bunuel). When I read text by John Michell, now, it's in his voice (i) - his View Over Atlantis was my travelling companion for a year or so. But understanding this stuff just takes one further and further from 'contemporary' society.


(i) A shameless plug for my second podcast part of which records a visit into a prehistoric copper mine at the Knar.

If I had to choose , Bunuel is my favourite . After seeing Los Olivados many years ago it just got better . Viridiana was given away in the Gruniad a couple of weeks ago .

Yes, some of the people around me in Newcastle are like characters from Viridiana - he became a master simply by working for so many years. Film is an artform that is still very much alive - unlike stonework, getting back onto topic. I've seen a picture of Chris S's new standing stone in Cornwall - it's a belter. There'll be no problems getting it listed here, I should think, unlike the strange stuff I've uncovered.
