Lewes Dowsing Group
Updated December 2024
Lewes dowsers are run under the auspices of Lewes U3A, and the group is led by Grace and Andrew Edgar. We meet on the last Thursday of the month, 10 to 12, in Lewes Town Hall. To join the group, you must be a member of Lewes U3A (and for details of joining, see https://www.lewesu3a.uk/Joinlewesu3a).
The group is open to dowsers of all levels of experience, and we try to cover all the major applications of dowsing. Potential members who are new to dowsing are offered a one to one session with Grace or Andrew Edgar, who will run through the basic ideas and applications of dowsing, and will help the novice dowser develop their skills with pendulum and rods.
In our meetings we strive to combine talk and discussion of dowsing topics with practical exercises. In 2024 we ran a sequence of sessions exploring water dowsing, earth energy dowsing, and now we are looking at healing (both of people and buildings).
Weather permitting, especially over the summer months, we try to meet outside to dowse on site in Lewes. We also hold additional meetings for field trips, sometimes a little further afield. We have, for example, visited Firle Beacon on the South Downs. Over the summer of 2025 we organised a substantial project, exploring and mapping the major earth energy and water lines in Lewes. This involved a series of small sub-groups working to record and experience the lines. The results , which are being written up for publication in the BSD’s magazine, Dowsing Today, were rich and surprising.
In January 2025 we will being a series of meetings devoted to archaeological dowsing. Anyone who can conveniently get to the meetings is welcome. You don’t have to live in Lewes to join us.

Middlesex & Surrey Archaeological Dowsing (MASAD)
Updated December 2024
MASAD stands for the Middlesex and Surrey Archaeology Dowsers, which was established in 1970.
Over the years, an experienced group of Dowsers, interested in history, set up a special interest group, dowsing for missing historic sites.
We meet up once a month in a pub, or on a specific site location, which is confirmed to members, closer to the date. We also occasionally go on trips to relevant places of interest, as well.
In our early days we dowsed in the grounds of Westminster Abbey, Southwark Cathedral, and National Trust properties.
Some visits have been a little different, for example, dowsing for the long since gone, "whistling Oyster" pub, off London's Drury Lane, or for the location of an unmarked Plague Pit.
This year we have visited the site of a Georgian Cock Pit, and in St.James's Park we were looking for a Roman Road. We also dowsed for some missing tunnels in Hackney, and we looked for a Jousting site in Richmond, Surrey.
New members who are able to dowse using L and/or V rods, are always welcome to join in our explorations.
Briefings are given before we start the dowsing, in order to give the background to the location, and guidance on what you will be doing.
The membership fee for MASAD is £10 per annum.
Beginners with no dowsing experience, should contact The British Society of Dowsers, on: info@britishdowsers.org
To find out more about MASAD, please phone Mr Keith Harmon: 0753 836 34679
January 2025 and February 2025 dates, to be confirmed.

Somerset Dowsers
Updated December 2024
Introduction to Dowsing Course
Sunday 23rd February 2025, 10am for 10.30am - 4pm
Creech St Michael Village Hall, Ryesland Way, TA3 5QQ
Numbers limited to 18
Cost £40
We are delighted that experienced and skilful dowser Gwynn Paulett has
offered to lead this full day course.
Gwynn learnt to dowse by attending the courses run by BSD in the 1990s led
by Dr Patrick MacManaway and John Moss. Although he water dowsed in the
USA and had a borehole successfully drilled, Gwynn chose not to pursue his
interest in water dowsing, living on a chalk aquifer at the time, where water
was readily available.
Most of the dowsing work he undertakes these days involves house and land
clearing. He is committed to passing on his experience and knowledge to
other dowsers, mainly through facilitating online dowsing groups.
When Gwynn retired as a Senior Lecturer he moved to Devon in 2014, joined
Devon Dowsers and subsequently became Chairman stepping down in 2023.
This course aims to get you dowsing from the start and provides a practical
opportunity to try different dowsing tools such as rods and pendulums to
dowse both tangible (e.g. water pipes, drains) as well as intangible targets
(e.g. personal hydration, auras and earth energy lines).
You will gain:
• Some history of dowsing together with its uses over the years as well
as current applications
• An understanding of dowsing ethics
• Some methods to keep yourself protected
• An insight into how to focus your mind, get in the 'dowsing zone', set
intent, and how to ask for permissions
• Your own "Yes"/"No" code, to undertake information dowsing
• Some skills in using L rods and a pendulum
You will have the opportunity to dowse for the following:
• Flowing water, water pipes and drains
• Earth energy lines, their polarity and geopathic stress
• Personal hydration, the human aura, vitamin and mineral deficiencies
• Hidden objects
• Trees
Dowsing practice:
We will suggest some ways you can practise your dowsing skills and continue
learning more about dowsing.
Resources for the day:
• Bring your own rods and pendulums if you have them, or borrow/buy
ours. Our shop will be available where you can purchase both rods
and pendulums.
• Notes containing the course content will be emailed to you shortly after
you have completed the course.
Refreshments will be available throughout the day. Remember, to please
bring your own lunch.
Booking procedure:
• Email somersetdowsers@aol.com to enquire about availability and
reserve your place.

Our group is largely interested in dowsing for healing , although we do have some who are keen to increase their knowledge of Earth Energies, so we try to provide a mixture of both.
The Group was founded and is Chaired by Sue Scott Powell, a health and house healing dowser of some 50 years’ dowsing experience.
We hold an annual teaching day in South Bucks and join up with other dowsing groups in the South West for shared zoom talks during the winter and arrange field trips and talks during the spring and summer months. Talks are held near Beaconsfield, Bucks.
