Replying to Rhiannon

Good reply Rhiannon, I held my pen, and thought if anyone goes down the dowsing argument I will do my undemocratic act of closing the thread;) My story had the analogy of a Catholic missionary going off to indoctrinate the poor heathen savages on some benighted island, us of course, but then those poor heathens trotted off to the 'Tree of Wisdom' and plucked the wicked fruit and imbibed of its fruit and quite liked the taste.
Long live the fairies, and those that can't follow a straight leyline..

Moss, the film was primarily about dowsing , and how it adapted to the embarrassing setbacks of the Belinus / Ley line fiasco . What else was there to comment on ? I suppose there was a subtext about the vanity of "occult "powers derived from divinatory practice but it was too funny to consider that .

Looks like Paul Broadhurst can and has gone back to it , if being a bit slow about it . .His new book is about the Greenwich meridian and the belief that because the meridian happens to go through an ancient site it must be related or dated to it . “Over a five year journey of discovery the authors ….have found that more than 50 ancient sites are in alignment with the line .The age of these sites shows that it is of great antiquity , overthrowing the established view that the Meridian was first set out in the 17th century “
