Strong belief in something doesn't have to be dangerous or 'wrong'.


I disagree – it is both dangerous and wrong if cannot be shown to be right. You might then ask what is ‘right’...


Well, take the example of Kevin with his dowsing. If you enjoy dowsing (There is a British Society of Dowsers) and believe in it, believe you get results, I can't see theres too much wrong with doing it!


Well...sticking my oar in. I've always taken or left dowsers and always thought that they were capable of either moving the rods intentionally or making the pendulum swing intentionally....
…until that is, I went to King Arthurs Hall on Bodmin Moor and on my second visit took along a dowser friend of mine (we discussed this on a thread earlier in the year). She’d never been there before and knew nothing about the place at all. We got there and she sat on the southern bank with a pen and paper in her hands. She never once walked around the enclosure until she had done what I asked her to do, which was to indicate to me on a drawing if there was an equilateral triangular stone within the rectangular stone setting. I’d already looked for one on my first visit but none of the remaining standing ones were. That just left the fallen buried ones of which there are many.
Anyway, she drew out a plan of the site then held a crystal pendulum over it and moved it around the perimeter. Toward the SE end she marked a spot with an x and another near to the NE corner. She said the SE one marked the position of a triangular stone and the other, the spot where human remains were lying. Yeah sure, I thought to myself!
But, I was to be proven wrong, because the stone was exactly where she claimed it to be and the human remains…well, that has yet to be proven because there was no way I was going to grub around for them! (Apparently they were the remains of a female who worked on the initial build of the site).
So do I believe she ‘has something’ or was it pure luck? You tell me, but I was very impressed I can tell you and think twice about being sceptical now.
