GEODETIC
LINE
Guy Underwood in his book 'The Pattern of the Past' coined the term "geodetic
line" to embrace three different types of line which, he states,
form a complex network on the earth's surface. He named the types water
lines, aquastats
and track lines, and
reported that each consisted of groups of three parallel lines which he
named triads. According
to Underwood geodetic lines converge at blind
springs but are not the same as energy
leys for they do not always run straight, but may meander,
loop or spiral.
GEODIC
FAULTS
Cavities in igneous rocks which are partially filled with minerals in
the shape of well formed crystals. These can emit unique forms of energy
that can have various effects on the biological system, beneficial
and detrimental.
GEOLOGICAL
FAULT
Major fractures in the rock structure of the earth's surface that create
stress when relieved this causes earthquakes. These faults emit energies
that are generally considered by dowsers to be detrimental
to most forms of life.
GEOMANCY
The art of placing structures on the landscape so that the earth
energies enhance their use and the structure itself is in
harmony with the earth.
GEOPATHIC
STRESS
An unfavourable reaction of the biological system as the result of exposure
to radiations from the earth that would be dowsed as detrimental.

INFORMATION
DOWSING
Where dowsing is used for gathering information about the subject under
study, e.g. the depth
or quantity of an underground flow of water.
INTENSITY
A term often used by dowsers and healers to denote the relative effect
of an energy on an object or living system, usually in arbitrary terms.
Healers often feel the intensity, and dowsers measure it using various
scales such as 1-100. A well known instrument for measuring this is the
Bovis biometer.
KINESIOLOGY
A form of muscle resistance testing which can be used to identify whether
different types of energy are detrimental
or beneficial to
us. One of its uses is to detect allergies and the health of the human
body.
LEY
A significant alignment of sacred and secular sites across a landscape,
generally horizontally visible. The minimum number of aligned sites to
qualify as a ley is five. The term was first used by Alfred Watkins in
1921. This is not a dowsing term and should not be used as such. If a
ley has an associated dowsable line of energy it should be described as
an energy ley.
LEY
LINE
The term used by many British dowsers to describe an energy
ley. It is easily confused with ley and therefore its use
is not recommended by dowsers.
LIFE
FORCE
Can be used to describe the energy within a field around an object, e.g.
earth energy is the life force of the earth. The human aura
is the life force of the human. It is considered that the life force which
manifests itself around an object comes from a greater source.
LONG
PENDULUM
Used by Tom Lethbridge to determine rates of substances. This was done
by lengthening the cord of the pendulum until a response was felt. It
was the opinion of Tom Lethbridge that every substance could be identified
by the length of the cord at which the pendulum responded. The length
or rate found is unique to every dowser.
MAGER
ROSETTE 
A disc divided into eight coloured segments. The colours of the segments,
going clockwise, are black, white, purple, blue, green, yellow, red, and
grey. It is used in energy dowsing to identify differences in energy types
so that the dowser can distinguish more accurately between one energy
line and another.
MAP
DOWSING
A method of dowsing using a map, or drawing, instead of or before visiting
the site. This can be done using a pendulum in one hand whilst pointing
at the map, or drawing, with a pencil in the other hand. When the target
is found the pendulum will swing in the affirmative. However, many other
techniques are used successfully. Map dowsing is done prior to a site
visit and will reduce the time spent on site.
MEASUREMENT
Any method by which a rule or calibrated instrument on a scale of 1-100
is used to determine the quality, rate or vibration of an object. It can
be also done by counting in whatever measurement is most suitable until
a positive dowsing response is felt. In many applications measurement
will greatly assist the dowser.
NEGATIVE
A term used to indicate energy of a specific type, i.e. opposite to positive.
This use of the word negative does not necessarily indicate any similarity
in earth energies to the behaviour of electricity or magnetism. Whilst
that is so it may be that some energies that are dowsed have electrical
and/or magnetic components. Lunar energy is thought to be negative as
is yin energy. Some negative
energy is detrimental
to various forms of life.
NODE
A node is found at the intersection of two or more energy
lines, giving a highly charged point of energy. Seven nodes
are to be found on most ancient standing stones. Five are above ground
level and two are on the section of the stone below ground level. They
are likened to the seven major chakras of the human body. Nodes can be
found at many places other than standing stones.
NOXIOUS
ENERGY
A type of energy that may be harmful to humans or some other species of
life or vegetation. This is generally found in association with underground
water and at the crossing points of some types of energy line. It is considered
that noxious energy will cause geopathic stress
in humans and most animals and affect the growth of trees etc. Other forms
of life, ants, cats etc. thrive in the presence of noxious energy.
