Geomancy deals with the remediation of the harmful effects of ‘Geopathic stress.’ The term geopathic stress is a broad term encompassing various factors such as, disruptions in the earth’s normal electromagnetic and gravitational fields, effects from underground water courses, geological faults as well as more esoteric concerns such as ley lines, mobile personal lines and negative psychic impressions.

I know very well that many scientists consider dowsing as they do astrology, as a type of ancient superstition. According to my conviction this is, however, unjustified.

In the past community leaders would use geomantic principles to find the most appropriate or beneficial places to site important buildings such as places of worship, wells or town squares.

This tradition has continued throughout history and is still in use today. A modern example of this practice is seen on the Autobahn’s of Austria where Geomancers were employed to restore the natural flow of ‘Earth Energy’ with the aim to reduce traffic accidents, it worked so well that the government extended their roll to investigate and implement remedies across the country.

The Geomancer’s roll put simply is to be a mediator between people, place and earth energies, creating environments that support and sustain people.
