gang that he has located in the Benalla cemetery, and Tony F.
takes us out on an Earth acupuncture job. Bill Raines gives the
low-down on opal divining in Cooper Pedy, South Australia, and
we also get to see amazing opal specimens kept in Sydney museums.
Ross Henderson of Tasmania shows us how to test soil and blink
dowse; while Western Australia's Dave Kennett demonstrates map
dowsing and how he finds his destination when lost; and Wynelle
Delaney of Perth is seen doing part of a health dowsing check

What the reviewers have said about Dowsers
Down Under:
"Thanks goodness someone is continuing
research and promoting interest in the fascinating practice of
dowsing...This video, made by Alanna Moore, is really great.
You get to see seven of Australia's respected dowsers, including
Keith Levy, Sandy Griffin, Ross Henderson, Bill Raines and Dave
Kennett. As you will see, dowsing is not just confined to finding
water. It is being used to determine soil mineral/pH balances;
to find precious ores and stones; to detect and remedy "Earth
radiation" and geopathic stress; to select locations for
planting; and even to locate graves! If you are interested in
dowsing, then may I strongly suggest you get hold of this video;
it is very informative."
Duncan Roads, Nexus magazine June/July 2002.
"This video will be excellant to help
beginners learn from top teachers and also interesting for those
who would like to see other peoples' methods and successes...
It is also a wonderful social history document..."
Natural Resonance Study Group, March 2002 newsletter.
"This really is a tremendous video which
over an hour and forty mintues recounts the dowsing techniques
and stories of seven most interesting Australian dowsers. They
really are practical stories, not theory, with demonstrations
which show the multitude of tasks that dowsing can be applied
towards to gain beneficial results...
Anyone interested in how dowsing is applied
will find this video fascinating. We are lucky to have people
like Alanna who are recording dowsers stories for posterity because
many of those interviewed are not in their first flush of youth,
but vital nevertheless..."

Geomancy Today series reviewed
by Jilli Roberts for PAGAN TIMES SPRING 2006
Ithink this is the third Film
Series by Alanna Moore that I
have reviewed, and each one is
better than the one before, and the
creative qualities of Alanna and her
film crew are coming through. The
photography, camera work, the
editing, and the music that
occasionally stirs the spine, are all
very good. The gentle voice-over is
appealing and appropriate, almost
meditative, moving at a pace that
allows the words to sink in and be
comfortably understood and assimilated.
I have said before that I find
Alanna's films give you a sense of
being confronted with a row of
open doors through which you can
choose to go if you want to
discover more than that which
Allana gives you. This is not a fancy
way of saying the films are in
ëmagazine edití, or put together like
TV bites. That is not the case. I
particularly want to make this point
because The Geomancy Today series is an
excellent presentation of the basics of what
is being discussed. The quality of
information and balance of sources is
excellent and interesting. These are not
magazine edits but well thought out
presentations, crammed full of information.
So I feel it is important to get over that first
hurdle of 30 minute disk, flick in the
machine, all over response that this product
may get at first glance. Please give it the
time, if you are interested in this subject
matter. It is more than it seems.
To sum up then, I find that Alanna
Moore's film products are unique,
individual and idiosyncratic. They are
almost the documentary equivalent of
the Japanese poetry form of haiku; short
and focussed, with every component
being Very Important. You have to
concentrate, almost meditate, as
you watch.
I can only repeat that if you like visual
imagery and verbal guides, then these
films are an enjoyable way to take a
break from the written word. If you seek
stimulation, inspiration, or even a
starting point for your personal spiritual
quest, then you may well find that nugget
in one of Alanna Mooreís films. In today's
world, research is easier than it has ever
been before, and you can go forward by
just putting in your keyword.
In these two films reviewed here, the
doors are open to communicate with, or
even enter, realms other than the one we
inhabit, as well as offering an impetus to
acknowledge the water Element in all its
guises, which is ever present and within.
In this context I recommend this 2-film
package.

'Megalithomania' is about the fascination
with stone circles and standing stones and was filmed in Ireland,
England, Australia and New Zealand.
The unfolding history of the revival of interest
in ancient British megaliths is described, starting at that largest
of stone circles at Avebury. See also The Stone of Destiny at
Tara, in Ireland and at Carrowmore on the west coast, stone circles/passage
graves which date back to over 7000 years.
From antiquarians and astro-archeology, to
energy dowsing (dowser/author Tom Graves giving a demonstration),
and from the scientific to the folkloric, the enigma of the stones
unravels. But there are still more questions than solid answers.
Why were people creating calendars in stone
and what was the significance of lunar eclipses? What of alignments/
ley lines, nature spirits and the Earth energy networks found
by dowsers and sensitives there? The film offers explanations
on many levels, and through the eyes of several geomancers.
Crossing down-under, the film then looks at
some natural stone megaliths in Australasia and contemplates
the geomantic understandings of place there. We get to touch
upon some geomythology, at a legendary stone -The Navigator,
on a beach in New Zealand; and then see the iconic Nimbin Rocks,
in northern New South Wales (Australia), the haunt of the hairy
Nimbinje spirit. We learn of the fate of the stolen Devil's Marble
(- there's a happy ending there.)
Aboriginal traditions and sacred space are
being revived in many parts of Australia, and we get to see an
Aboriginal teacher with his didgeridoo taking students on a "trip
to the Dreamtime", at an ancient (natural granite) megalithic
Aboriginal site near Melbourne.
In central Victoria we meet Maura McCabe's
backyard healing stone and join in with a respectful ceremony
of approach with geomancers Junitta Vallak and Billy Arnold,
at the Touchstone, which marks the entrance to an important sacred
site - the mountaintop 'Rock of Ages', near Maldon, home of the
Rainbow Serpent.
Gain a sense of the Dreamtime, the timeless
qualities of sacredness in the environment. Hear the mind altering
and healing sounds of the digeridoo. Learn of successful techniques
of Earth healing in England. And get inspired to make your own
small stone circle. You too can have a sacred focal point in
your own back yard!
From feng shui to modern urban geomancy, this
film spans a wide spectrum of geomantic styles, starting with
ancient origins in China. Five geomancers in Australia then describe
their work and Earth healing experiences, and demonstrate methods
to counteract environmental energy stresses (such as geopathic
and electro-stress, traumatized landscapes etc).
Tim Strachan, an urban geomancer in Sydney,
talks about how he discovered the problems of environmental energies,
through his natural therapies work. Patients, in some cases,
were not improving until this factor was addressed, he found.
Tim surveyed devices on the market to alleviate the problem and
went on to develop his own ('Energy Store') product range.
Shirley Loats then describes an Earth healing
experience in country New South Wales, prompted by a wave of
suicides in a district. She clairvoyantly saw a change in energies
in the process and reports that the suicide epidemic in the area
is over.
In country Victoria Tony F. demonstrates his
unusual method of Earth acupuncture that involves ordinary house
bricks, at a friend's home where he found geopathic stress.
Frank St John in Brisbane then explains some
of his techniques, developed over many decades, using blink dowsing,
charged water for energy neutralisation, etc.
Lastly, Wynelle Delaney in Perth (Western
Australia) describes her philosophy and style of radionic healing,
where household energies are diagnosed and harmonised remotely.
The energies of inhabitants too must be assessed and balanced,
she says, for wholistic healing of both to be possible.

publication of the Pagan Alliance.
"Part three of Alanna Moore's Geomancy
Today film series is Discovering Devas. The word Deva
comes from a Sanskrit term meaning shining ones, and
in broad terms, Devas are thought of as nature spirits. This
film is an introduction to the realms of these ethereal beings,
and it looks at deity too.
In India, Devas are thought of as gods, but
in the West, we tend to regard them as elemental beings - guardians
of the land. This film includes a section on finding Devas in
the city environment. An evaluation of Canberra's Parliament
House brings the pronouncement that it is "full of them!"
And we're told that an entity that looks like an octopus, but
which "may well have come from another planet", hangs
around the corridors of the House of Representatives. Has H.P.
Lovecraft's dreaded Cthulhu emerged at last?
If those sorts of new-age 'visions' are not
your cup of herbal tea though, don't despair, as most of this
film is devoted to an exploration of the gods and goddesses of
ancient Europe. Time is also given to a description of the Green
Man, and plenty of his images (built into various forms of architecture)
are shown including one in Dunedin in New Zealand. Lovely
representations of the Green Lady are also very welcome features
on this film. This part of the DVD was filmed in England, NZ,
Ireland and Australia (with scenes from Adelaide) and it runs
for 34 minutes.
As a whole, the film series focuses on geomancy
(Earth energies) from the perspective of clairvoyants and energy
dowsers. This DVD will be of interest to those who like to investigate
the spiritual planes of the New-Agers, and it will be enjoyed
by pagans who want to experience a visual journey through the
history and development of the gods and goddesses. You'll also
enjoy the views of various sacred sites from around the world."
Review of 'Discovering the Devas' by
David Baird, Dunedin, New Zealand..
"This is worth buying ...
The DVD is almost a Ritual, it has lovely sounds and pictures,
Alanna narrates her material and has put a lot of time and effort
into this production. Fine shots from around the world , of powerful
nature spots, animals ( and their sacred aspects) and the green
man, shots of this figure from all over the world.
Alanna has been to Dunedin NZ a few times now. I was lucky to
get to go to one of the workshops. Later I asked her to come
to talk at the local Theosophical Society, and we had a workshop
on Deva Dowsing.
If you are interested in Earth Healing, Geopathic Stress, Devas
of the Home and Land, and all that stuff, then I recommend this
material."

'Discovering the Devas' Reviewed
by Jilli Roberts for PAGAN TIMES SPRING 2006
DISCOVERING DEVAS
We are all aware that the word
Deva is one of those purloined
by the West from Indian culture,
as have karmaíand chakraí Iím over this
now (you heave a sigh of relief), but I was
interested to discover that the word Deva
has now gone beyond spiritual concepts and
now heads companies in the business of
producing among other things: music,
cosmetics, fashion, seaweed, and computer
products, to name but a few. Despite this
dilution, Deva remains a powerful and
popular word in our culture to describe the
concept of : celestial, shining, elemental
spirit, intelligent entity, god, goddess, etc.
This word does have links to similar ones in
European linguistics such as the Lithuanian
dievs and Prussian deiwas, the Germanic
Tiwaz , and the Latin deus and divus ëgodí
from which the English words divine
deity, French dieuí and Italian dio derive.
In this context we should feel
comfortable in using the word of another
culture so freely, although personally I
prefer to work with words and concepts
from my own immediate culture: in this
case, the Fey.
In this film, Alanna takes you through the
history of Devas and their equivalent, in
many cultures, including Aboriginal
Australia. The inclusion of Aboriginal
spiritual beliefs in this film is another
strong point of the whole film series and
injects an understanding for the viewer of
some aspects of these beliefs which may
not have been there before.
As in previous films of the series, we also
see interviews of national and
international people who have experience
of working in the area under discussion, in
this case, communication with Devas,
visionary artists and dowsers. One
memorable interviewee discusses the
Devas he has observed in the Australian
Parliament House in Canberra. (I wonít
print any spoilers here.)
The absence of any discussion on the
balancing dark side of the Deva realms is
not necessarily a worry, if this film is
aimed at new seekers, but one hopes that
awareness is broadened as training and
study progresses under the umbrella of
Moore's films and workshops.
All round, this film is a delight, and gives
you the feeling of being part of a Whole,
of swimming in a cosmic balance, and
tantalises the viewer with the discovery
that our eyes do not necessarily see all that
is to be seen.

The Sacred World of Water
- reviewed by Don McLeod
for 'Silver Wheel', South Australian
publication of the Pagan Alliance.
"In part 5 of the series, Alanna looks
at the characteristics of water, and the ways in which people
are still honouring its sacredness. In many ancient creation
myths, the gods emerged from the waters to create life, so it's
not too surprising that water is seen as an important link to
spiritual purification. Sacred wells from around the world are
shown, and their properties are explained. The connection between
water and the Aboriginal Dreamtime is also explored. The running
time for this part of the DVD is 38 minutes.

THE SACRED WORLD OF WATER
Reviewed by Jilli Roberts for PAGAN TIMES SPRING 2006
This film takes you on a fact-
filled journey, this time through
some of the myths and legends
associated with the water Element in
human consciousness, from yin/yang to
homeopathy. No in-depth explanations are
given, just the brush of a butterfly wing on
each topic, a door blowing open to invite
your imagination and personal quest. But,
as always, you are made aware of the
connections between many cultural
manifestations of thought on the same
Our histories are burgeoning with
the stories of how humans have
interacted with the spiritual aspects
of water. Here you are shown a
variety of some of these:
purification rituals, the persisting
legends around wells, springs and
aspects of The Great Mother. The
legends of mermaids from
different cultures, flit through the
script. Scottish silkies represent the
British water Fey, and their
relationship with humans is
glimpsed in a fleeting chorus of
The Silkie folksong. There is so
much depth to all of these areas:
follow your quest.
Rain making ritual is shown, a
modern blessing with water, and
above all we are shown examples
of how human culture in the past
and present has given honour to
this particular Element. A
performance of Aboriginal
storytelling is included, as is the
personal journey of a western
storyteller, who discusses the moon
tides effect on our bodies and our
connection with the cosmos. Dowsers
make an appearance again, of course,
and the overall theme of this film is the
need to respect and care for this
Element which makes up about 80% of
our personal space and communal space.
This series aims to explore sacred landscapes
around the world with the people who know them or who are coming
to know them. They visit the sacred sites in a state of pilgrimage,
to honour and respect them; to listen, watch and learn from them,
recognising that the Earth is our greatest teacher. A travelogue
of the outer and inner worlds, voyaging through mythos and experience,
and connecting deeply with country.
Glastonbell is part of the magnificent, rugged
sandstone escarpment wilderness of the Blue Mountains, west of
Sydney. It was developed as a 'holy place for Australia' by Phillip
Simpfendorfer over 20 years. Here people can visit, and discover
and nurture a deep connection with the living landscape. You
will see some of it in the film.
Phillip, who lived 7/6/31 to 5/7/03, was one
of Australia's foremost geomancers. He helped to forge a bridge
of understanding between Aboriginal and modern perspectives in
Australia. He organised 'Renewing of the Dreaming' Camps in the
early 1980's with Guboo Ted Thomas (an elder of the Yuin tribe
of south coast New South Wales, who also died in 2003) and, together
with the others he inspired, evolved an eco-spiritual awareness
of the world around him.
In this interview Phillip talks about
his life, from his very first stirrings of love for the land,
through the growing understandings he gained. He elucidates on
some of his many spiritual adventures, journeys to Kashmir, central
Australia, Tasmania and Antartica, showing great wisdom and humour
in the telling.
Part Two:
'Pilgrimage to Central Australia'
An exploration of Aboriginal Dreaming and spirits of place around
Alice Springs,
featuring clairvoyant investigator Billy Arnold.
The fabulous landscapes around Alice Springs,
in Australia's red centre, are home to the Arrunta Aboriginal
tribe, whose culture still holds strong. In order to protect
their sacred sites the Arrunta have divulged information about
them and they are afforded legal protection (which doesn't always
protect them!)
Billy Arnold, a clairvoyant researcher, astrologer
and laya yoga exponent, lived in The Alice for several years
discovering the Dreamtime dimensions of the landscape and identifying
the nature spirits / devas that he encountered, with the help
of Aboriginal friends. These people, the owners/ custodians of
Dreaming stories, are proud to share them with other peoples,
through the medium of art, dance and song. Their paintings -
the spiritual dimensions of the Dreaming made manifest - have
achieved international recognition. (The more esoteric aspects
and understandings of stories are not usually divulged to non-initiated
people.) The film features Dreamtime artists and their spectacular
art, with helpful explanations from Billy of their significance.
In their tour of some of the sacred
sites of the region, Billy, Alanna and Rhonda travel into the
other dimensional world of the Dreaming, a world away from suburban
Australia.
Review:
'Pilgrimage to Central Australia'
film by Alanna Moore.
Review by Angela Krone
From Pagan Times, winter 2005 edition.
Angela is a Koori (indigenous) woman from
the Worimi and Biripi people of the NSW mid coast area; she has
lived and worked in many Aboriginal Communities around Australia
and currently lives in Western Australia with her Yamatji husband
and four children, Having two university degrees she uses her
skills to represent and empower her people. This is an extract
from her review:
"This DVD looks at a very unique individual
whose spiritual journeys have been entwined with the Ancestral
dreamtime beings of this great land.
In Pilgrimage to Central Australia the author
has given the story teller Billy Arnold the freedom to express
and show his spiritual encounters that he has had while living
in Alice Springs. I found myself transfixed by the amount of
passion that he displays around culturally significant sites
and events. This video shows that Billy has taken time to get
to know the local people and openly acknowledges Arrunta culture
and lore. I enjoyed being able to see the sites that he talked
about and to see how he interacts with the local people. His
description of spirit comes from having a deep understanding
of the land and traditions.
The video includes Billy's spiritual experiences
and stories which incorporate dreamtime facts, beautiful pictorials
of Alice Springs and Aboriginal Sites. Watching this was a truly
enjoyable experience, and a credit to Alanna Moore for putting
this together.
Overall I believe that Alanna did
a good job in developing this DVD which creates awareness of
Aboriginal Culture and the connection to Ancestral Spirits experienced
by Billy".
Part Three:
'A Thirst for Ireland'
February 2008 saw another new Geomantica
film completed. A Thirst for Ireland is 27 minutes long and a
companion to the Saving Tara film (which, incidentally, has been
awarded 5 stars on You Tube).
What is the connection between Ireland
and Australia? What is the common heritage shared by the Dreamtime
nature of the two countries? Alanna Moore
scratches an obscured surface to explore the surprising depths
of Irish pre-Celtic, indigenous place legends in the land of
her ancestors. She takes a poetic journey from central Victoria,
where a majority of Irish Australians first landed, and then
across Ireland, to visit sacred places such as the hot seats
of ancient kings, queens, gods and goddesses, on this geomantic
voyage of discovery.
Part Four:
'Saving Tara'
A sacred ceremonial landscape in Ireland's
heartland is threatened by a big motorway development. See how
people have been protesting there, including conducting a Druidic
ritual of protection; and find out what role the Opus Dei organisation
and people like U.S. Dick Cheney have to play in why it is happening,
despite EU condemnation. Practical geomancy at it's most radical
edge.

'Bali - geomantic journeying in paradise'
(32 minutes) Dec 2008
A dreamy ten day honeymoon in Bali in April
2008 allowed us to gather some beautiful footage and divine insights
into the highly spiritual aspects of Balinese culture and country.
The result is a feast for the eyes and spirit, and will make
you want to go there too! Geomancy of the traditional home compound
is explained, fabulous temple types explored, a lake goddess
encountered, and much more!
'South Australian Sojourn' (35 minutes) January 2009
From the festive botanic gardens of Adelaide
to the moody Flinders Ranges, via the Murray River delta and
enigmatic Kangaroo Island - this is a South Australian journey
with a difference! Sacred country, Aboriginal art and mythos
are explored, including the desecration of Hindmarsh Island/Kumarangk.
(Better you know than go there unprepared.)
Eight years in the gathering up, another highlight
of this film is Esther Ross relating a remarkable story from
the Flinders, where, in a cave, she experienced going backwards
in time to the dinosaur era!

Scientists have been painting gloom and doom
scenarios for the environment for too long. While they are busy
writing up reports about widespread land degradation there are
ordinary people out in the back blocks practising creative, intuitive,
innovative and practical solutions to the environmental crises
they face.
These often unsung heroes of land care and
land repair are not shy to try out unusual or controversial methods
to challenge the current destructive paradigms of agriculture.
As a threat to the status quo, it often means that we never get
to hear about such environmental success stories.
This film series is a call for all people
to consider positive approaches to their environment, and to
discover backyard solutions to global problems. Alanna Moore
is a great believer in the power of positive focused thought
put into action.
Part 1: Dowsing, Greening & Crystal
Farming
26 minutes.
Alanna Moore and Marilyn Sprague give some tree selection and
planting tips in drought stricken Victoria, including Alanna's
dowsing and planting methods. Then in W.A. Dave Kennett shows
us some of his dowsing and planting techniques at a field day;
and wheat farmers Geoff and Elaine Scholz explain their methods
of crystal farming, which have been a great success.
Part 2: Eco-Gardeners Down-Under
26 minutes.
Tour the temperate climate gardens of permaculture pioneers Bill
Mollison and David Holmgren, who give us many practical insights
to permaculture design. Then in tropical north Queensland see
the jungly gardens of Jane 'Many Leaves', with unusual food plants
and Transylvanian Naked Neck chickens featured.
Part 3: Grassroots Solutions to Soil Salinity
38 minutes.
Despite government scientists saying that their methods can't
work - some farmers in Australia are successfully tackling soil
salinity and land degradation. See two farms that have been saved
from salting - by installing water interceptor banks and planting
trees on them. See how dowsing has been applied to this practical
system of soil conservation, and meet a scientist who has proved
that the theory of 'rising water table', as a cause of land salting,
is generally not the cause of it at all.
Part 4: Growing & Gauging Sustainability
26 minutes.
Malcolm Borgward describes his progress in developing sustainable
farming methods, guided by 'Universal Knowledge' - which he accesses
with kinesiology (muscle testing). He has achieved outstanding
results with soil enhancers including rock dust, lime and microbes.
Retired organic farmer David von Pein then tells us how we can
monitor the value of soil inputs using various probes and meters.
He demonstrates the use of the Brix meter (a refractometer),
which measures the level of sugars in crop plants - as a good
indicator of their health and nutritional value.
Part Five: Remineralising the Soil
24 minutes
Land degradation is rife in Australia, with
farmland topsoils vanishing rapidly. Our foodstuffs have ever
decreasing nutritional values as a result. Mineral imbalance
in modern society is abysmal, and is linked to disease on physical,
mental and spiritual levels.
The answer to the problem of low mineral status
comes to us from the Earth. Crushed rock of many varieties can
help to rejuvenate soils in a short time (given enough organic
matter and the presence of moisture and soil microbes) and provide
greatly improved nutrition from crops grown in them.
Alanna Moore introduces the subject from an
intuitive perspective, and we get to see a dowser in Tasmania
showing his method of soil testing by dowsing. We then get to
learn about the energetic value of volcanic rock dusts, at a
training session run by Alanna.
This beneficial energy, known as paramagnetism,
seen in much of Australia's basalt rock, is explained, and samples
tested with a magnet. The dowsing approach is also demonstrated,
while Professor Phil Callahan's discoveries in this regard are
outlined.
A case study, where excellent results are
seen from using biodynamic growing practises combined with rock
dust, is then showcased, with Pia Lindgrew talking about the
amazing growth in her commercial olive grove.
Part Six: Making Power Towers
32 minutes.
The mysterious Irish Round Towers found in
the monastic complexes of old Ireland have caused much speculation
about their purpose. Professor Phil Callahan discovered that
these antenna like stone structures, up to some 34m/100' tall,
act as wave guides for cosmic energies which can have beneficial
effects on Earth.
In this film we get to see several Towers
in Ireland, then find out how small replicas can be used in the
garden and farm to enhance plant growth, enliven livestock and
a host of other effects.
Alanna Moore demonstrates dowsing the energy
fields of mini Towers made from paramagnetic sandpaper and talks
about some of her experiences and results from building over
100 Towers around Australasia.
She outlines the theory of modern Power Tower
building to her dowsing class, then we get to see one being constructed
by them, and dowsing of the resulting energy field.
Eight Tower owners around Australia then talk
about their Towers and the effects they have noticed since they
went up. From lusher orchards, increased wildlife, happier chickens,
improved business, greater family harmony and more rainfall,
to increased productivity in commercial strawberry, herb and
wheat crops.
Part Seven: Agnihotra / Homa Farming
33 minutes.
A revival of ancient Indian tradition, the
practise of Agnihotra can help restore harmony to the environment
and make plants grow better. Frits and Lee Ringma talk about
the benefits of Homa farming at their Hunter Valley, New South
Wales, property 'Om Shree Dham' and demonstrate the fire ritual.
Part Eight: Radionic Farming & Landcare
in Australasia
42 minutes
Agricultural radionics is a form of applied
dowsing, or 21st century water divining. Radionic methods include
soil testing and balancing, and health diagnosis and healing
at a distance.
Alanna Moore interviews four radionic practitioners
who talk about their methods and experiences in this cutting
edge of esoteric agriculture. Find out how they treat health
problems of livestock, soil imbalances, rain making, and more.
Ross Henderson in Tasmania tells of his many
years of radionic cattle farming, starting with a sick farm he
brought back into harmony. Ross talks of how he pioneered the
use of agricultural radionic coils with master dowsers Ralph
Thomas and Frank Moody (including Frank's anti-rabbit coils).
In central Tasmania Peter Downie describes
the challenging problems of his large highland sheep farm and
how radionics is helping to improve the harmony of the land and
his family's health and happiness. We get to see some of Ross's
coils there, while Peter dowses the energy field.
Then James Hedley, a radionic farming consultant
of New South Wales tells of his discoveries and explains his
methods. James is in demand from landcare groups eager to control
pests without the use of toxic chemicals. He can even make it
rain!
James uses radionic coils, biodynamic sprays
and a standard radionic instrument. We get to see the effects
these have had on rejuvenating the soil and orchard on his farm.
Lastly, we get to hear from professional radionic
consultant Alistair Cox on the subject, at a dairy farm near
Auckland in New Zealand, and see some more radionic coils.
