SECONDARY
WATER
This is water that forms the water table of the earth. It is derived from
rain water and other forms of condensation at the surface of the earth.
See also Primary Water.
SERPENT
LINE
Lines of energy found on the surface of the earth by dowsers, and are
unlike energy leys
in that they do not run straight. They can be of any length from a few
feet to many miles. The term was coined by Hamish Miller and Paul Broadhurst.
The Michael and Mary lines which cross England from Cornwall to the East
coast of Norfolk are described in their book "The Sun and the Serpent",
and the Apollo and Athena lines that cross Europe are described in their
book "The Dance of The Dragon".
SHORT
PENDULUM
The pendulum used by most dowsers. It usually has a cord of about 15-20
centimetres long. It is used to reply to specific questions posed by the
dowser, either by oscillating or gyrating clockwise or anticlockwise.
The interpretation of the response varies with individual dowsers. The
form of the question asked has to be chosen with great care, or an ambiguous
reply may be received.
SIDEBANDS
Dowsable lines that are found parallel to and some distance away from
a main energy line
or underground stream of water. This term is interchangeable with parallels
(Underwood).
SITE
DOWSING
Dowsing on the expected or desired site for the object or information
sought: also called survey dowsing or on site dowsing.
SPIRALS
These may be clockwise or anticlockwise in direction of flow. They are
formed by a line spiralling either in towards or out from a point. There
can be differing numbers of coils but they are generally of uneven number,
the most common being seven. Close examination may show that a spiral
is the plan view of an energy cone or vortex. Spirals are often connected
to each other by other gently curving energy
lines.
SPIRIT OF PLACE - see EARTH SPIRIT
SPRINGS
Springs are the point where water, primary
or secondary, naturally wells
out of the ground. The water from some springs is considered to be of
benefit and assist in healing. Others due to their location and quality
of water are called holy wells.
STANDING
WAVE
Sometimes called stationary wave. Produced by the combination of two other
waves moving in opposite directions, each having the same amplitude and
frequency.
STRENGTH
Energy strength can be determined by using a graduated scale or any other
form of measurement when dowsing.
SURVEY
DOWSING
Where dowsing is carried out on site and the position of the responses
recorded on a drawing or map. Not to be confused with map
dowsing, when the dowsing is done away from the site.
TELLURIC
ENERGY
Another name for earth energy.
TOROID
The form taken when a spiralling line rotates in a closed curve lying
in its plane. Colloquially known as a 'donut' in the U.S.
TOROIDAL
ENERGY
Energy that moves in the form of a toroid. This can often be found at
the commencement and termination points of a vertical pillar or spiral
of energy. Often found at ancient sites, particularly henges.
TRACK
LINE 
A term used by Underwood and described as a geodetic
line positive in polarity which subdivides into two parallel
triads. The usual width varies between
twelve and twenty-four inches. He claimed that they marked the position
of old roads and that animals make use of them.
TRIAD
A term introduced by Underwood to denote the form of geodetic
lines. Thus, each main line is made up of three minor lines,
which together form a triad. The lines forming the triad are only a few
inches apart. Triads then combine in certain groups to become aquastats,
water lines or track
lines.
VORTEX
The form that energy can take when either ascending or descending vertically.
Usually found in groups, joined either point to point or base to base.
In some cases at these junctions the flow of the energy can change from
clockwise to anticlockwise or vice-versa. Change in polarity from negative
to positive can also occur. Vortices are a feature where energy
lines intersect.
WATER
DOME
Analagous to a dome or
blind spring, a
term used mainly in the U.S.A.
WATER
LINE 
A particular type of geodetic
line described by Underwood and thought by him to indicate
a flow of underground water. Except that water lines do not run in straight
lines, or above ground, they have similar dowsing characteristics to energy
leys, i.e. a central triad
with parallel triads at some distance on either side.
WAVELENGTH
The characteristics of an energy, indicating its rate of vibration. The
wavelength is measured as one complete oscillation of the wave.
YIN
A term used by practitioners of feng
shui and although not exactly similar is used by many western
dowsers as an alternative term for negative
energy. Yin energy is considered to be feminine and receptive.
YANG
A term used by practitioners of feng
shui and although not exactly similar is used by many western
dowsers as an alternative term for positive
energy. Yang energy is considered to be masculine and active.
