* Hello Alanna
Trust you are well…Just to say Hi and keep in touch. I am well and 86… Still doing three blog site and getting some good views.

My PH.D work takes me as a quantum metaphysician into deep meditation of a natural sort, the joy and peace is extraordinary. Two articles I did caused waves in the academic hierarchy; ‘The illusion of Reality’ based on the average person has 28 billion, billion, billion, billion atoms in them atoms are 99.99% empty and no one knows what the .9% is so how are we here? The other article is about the ‘observer effect’ and observing atoms changes their direction and wave formation. I suggested why and was licked out of academia, this also happened years back as well. Although there is dramatic shift amongst many a boffin. Very encouraging.
Love
Geoff

* Dear Alanna,
I wanted to let you know some developments from my side: – As you may know, several years ago I wrote two books about my “conversations” with the Earth, one called I Am With You. The Earth Wants to Talk with Us and the other Coming Home. Connecting with the Earth from Within.
– I have now put them together as one and added two chapters about what I call Living Globes and have made it available as a free e-book on https://livingglobes.org/. Perhaps it could be mentioned in one of your newsletters?
– Together with others I’ve started a US non-profit called Living Globes Society, with the purpose of producing globes that show the Earth live, the way she looks right now, that you can have at home on your coffee table. Again, see https://livingglobes.org/.

As an aside, I’ve also carried out a project in rural Nepal for the (self-)empowerment of women which has been a roaring success that will be expanded: https://hearnepal.org/the-khori-project/. I think you might like it.

This as a way to simply stay in touch and say hi. I really like what you’re doing.
Love,
Sten

* Good morning Alanna.
Warm greetings from Poland. I am writing to you with new information about my Power Towers. I recently erected another one, and it has great power.

It is 6.20 meters high (4.8 meters from the ground) with a 16-centimeter wide pipe. It is filled with newly discovered granite. Inside, according to my pendulum research results, I placed 8 crystals. All evenly measured from the central golden quartz. Some in pairs of two below the quartz, others above. Everything checked with a pendulum (crystal combination). Covered with a cone with the correct angle at the base, not at the top. The tower has a power of 210 thousand Bovis units! It also changed the radiation colour! It does not radiate blue like the previous smaller one, but white!

An amazing experience. It stands near my parents’ house, and my dad said that when he was nearby, he had a lot of energy for the whole day. I put it up recently, so the effect on plants is not yet visible, but it will certainly be beneficial. White is very healing for everything and contains all colours. Of course, storms, lightning, and hail stay away!

I am sending you a photo of the tower in the attachment. There are no limits to energy!

Regards, Leszek Olszewski.

* Geomancy Downunder in 2026

Alanna Moore will return to Australasia in October-December 2026 to give talks and workshops on dowsing, geomancy, the fairy kingdoms, Power Towers and much more!

If you would like to possibly host a workshop in your home, where you will learn dowsing techniques and have your home checked out energetically and a Power Tower made on your farm or garden, contact Alanna at info@geomantica.com

In November 2026 Alanna Moore will help The New Zealand Society of Dowsing & Radionics celebrate 70 years! Workshops will be organised around this event. Potential workshop hosts can contact Alanna at info@geomantica.com

* New book, out now!

Stone Age Farming – Tapping into Nature’s Subtle Energies in the Farm and Garden, by Alanna Moore, Python Press, 3rd edition 2025, 212 A5 pages.
Full of unusual, esoteric tips for food growing, ancient wisdom and modern understandings, Stone Age Farming focuses on the beneficial energies of stones and free energy devices, such as the Towers of Power that harness natural energies with extraordinary results. First produced 25 years ago with research gathered from the century before, since then many more people have woken up to the harm caused by mainstream farming and they dream of producing foods superior in nutrients, life-force and flavour. For those keen to experiment with different ways to grow naturally, this book will help them to take the leap. This third edition – updated, with new photos and two new chapters about the latest exciting strategies of Electro-Culture and its benefits for plants, bee keeping and human wellbeing – now features a new generation of Energetic Agriculture pioneers.

Readers of Geomantica may remember a few articles that have appeared in this magazine over the last few years about esoteric bee keeping. The information in the new 3rd edition of Stone Age Farming has been upgraded with recent information about bee keeping that actually contradicts some of what was written in those articles. You’ll have to get the book to find out what that was!

See Charles Dowding’s review of the book at the end of this edition of Geomantica.

In Australia this book is distributed by Brumby Sunstate and is available from all bookshops (long may they stay open!).
Or buy direct from Geomantica and it will be printed-on-demand in USA/UK/Australia (Melbourne) HERE.

* 2025 summer solstice at Stonehenge – in pictures

Thousands attended the annual festival at Stonehenge in Wiltshire to mark the longest day in the northern hemisphere, from dawn of June 21st.

The photos brought tears of joy to this editor’s eyes! Such happiness and freedom on view, and the lovely sunny weather, after two very soggy years. What a fabulous looking event!

* Basalt in the spotlight in Australia

A growing number of scientists in Australia and overseas are investigating whether finely crushed basalt could reduce the need for expensive fertilisers. If successful, it could help farmers cut costs while also removing carbon from the atmosphere. Basalt, a commonly found rock in Australia, forms from rapidly cooled lava and is rich in minerals such as magnesium and calcium. Many Australians know it as “blue metal”, the gravel often used in road bases, driveways, concrete mixes and landscaping.

* Plants produce more nectar when they ‘hear’ bees buzzing, scientists find

Researchers suggest buzzing noises could be used as environmentally friendly way to enhance crop pollination. Plants can “hear” bees buzzing and serve up more nectar when they are nearby, scientists have found. The research suggests that plants are a more active partner than previously thought in their symbiotic relationship with pollinators. The behaviour could be a survival strategy that favours giving nectar and sugar to bees over so-called nectar robbers that do not offer plants any reproductive benefits.

“There is growing evidence that both insects and plants can sense and produce, or transmit, vibro-acoustic signals,” said Prof Francesca Barbero, a zoologist at the University of Turin, who led the research. The findings add to the “truly astonishing” multitude of ways that plants can perceive their surroundings, including the presence of beneficial and harmful insects, temperature, drought and wind, Barbero added. In future, the team suggested, buzzing noises could be used on farms as an environmentally friendly way of enhancing the pollination of crops.

* Yolŋu Power: the art of Yirrkala in the Top End of Australia.

Hundreds of traditional artworks, connecting generations of remote First Nations communities for almost a century, are now part of a public showcase in Sydney. Yolŋu power: the art of Yirrkala opened at the Art Gallery of New South Wales this weekend, bringing together almost 300 pieces created by 98 Aboriginal artists over eight decades. The pieces are from parts of Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory, and include an array of mediums such as bark painting, drawing, video, print, sculpture — both wooden and metal — and immersive installations.

* Blue Mountains Cave – Aboriginal Artefacts linked to the Ice Age

The terrain in the upper Blue Mountains is impassable in sections. It’s where eucalypts climb high and scribbly gums, banksia and wattles thrive. Survival in this environment today would be tough — which makes a recent archaeological discovery all the more extraordinary. Scientists have uncovered Ice Age artefacts deep inside a cave 1,100 metres above sea level, challenging long-held assumptions about ancient human life in Australia. The discoveries, dated as far back as 20,000 years, were found in a cave known as Dargan Shelter — now believed to be the oldest known site of human activity at high elevation on the Australian continent.

* Country, Culture and Connection in the Spectacular Kimberley

The Kimberley is a land defined by its extremes: a wild climate, harsh terrain and remarkable biodiversity. It’s a place unlike anywhere else on Earth, and only a few people experience it in its entirety. These photos will transport you there!

* Amazon Cities Hidden Beneath Jungle – Now Seen

For decades, archaeologists have believed that human occupation of the Amazon basin was far older, vaster and more urbanised than the textbooks suggested. But hard evidence was scant, artefacts were scattered, and there were too few people on the ground to fully assess the magnitude of what lay cached in the dense forest. Then they found a shortcut – lidar (light detection and ranging) scans that use pulses of light to create a 3D map of terrain in a fraction of the time it would take to survey from the ground.

…They are discovering traces of a lost world: evidence that between 10,000 and 24,000 pre-Columbian “earthworks” exist across the Amazon River basin. While the remote scans still need to be verified on-site, the findings so far make a compelling case that ancestral Amazonians systematically built up large urban centres and engineered the habitat to their needs and appetites with composted gardens, fisheries, and forests groomed into orchards in complex, sustainably run systems – which could offer lessons for modern cities.

…While the urban gardeners of Ecuador’s Upano Valley were blessed with rich, volcanic topsoils, most early Amazonians were not so lucky. By systematically composting scraps of food and organic waste, they created vast swaths of fertile “dark earth”, or terra preta, covering a 154,000 sq km (33,000 sq mile) stretch of the nutrient-poor soils of the Amazon basin nearly twice the size of Ireland – a circular economy before the phrase existed.

* Obituary – vale Arthur Firstenberg

Very sad to report that American author, environmentalist and activist, Arthur Firstenberg died in his home in February 2025 after months of an undiagnosed illness, surrounded by family and friends. He will be greatly missed.

Firstenberg’s books include The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life (Chelsea Green, 2020, more than 100,000 copies sold); Microwaving Our Planet: The Environmental Impact of the Wireless Revolution (1997); and, most recently, The Earth and I (Skyhorse, 2025).

Arthur Firstenberg is survived by a nephew and countless people committed to respecting nature and reducing electronic technologies’ harms to ecosystems and public health. A memorial gathering was held Saturday, March 1st at the Santa Fe Main Library. A Zoom memorial will be scheduled at a later date and tributes can be seen at the Safe Tech International’s Website.

“The only thing we can really do for the Earth is to stop destroying it.
Then the Earth will take care of itself.

Instead of trying to fix the whole planet, let us attend to our own simple lives.”  Arthur Firstenberg

*Time Travelling Leitrim

– by Alanna Moore. An extract from her forthcoming book-

‘Legendary Leitrim – exploring north west Ireland’.

When we visit the cultural heritage of north west Ireland we time travel in unspoilt landscapes, touching a distant past. At monuments that have survived over millennia, we can connect into an awesome continuum. Human history stretches back far in Leitrim. Archeological evidence goes back to Mesolithic times, some 9,000 years ago.1 Since the first people arrived in Ireland following the Ice Age and after ecosystems had re-established, their populations have swelled and declined. Their fortunes fluctuated from catastrophic changes – the impacts of plagues, climate change, war and invasion, Icelandic volcano eruptions blotting out the sun for years and bringing famine, and the like. Scientists have seen clues to these changes in markers such as ancient pollen. “Pollen analysis has suggested widespread forest regeneration in the second half of the first millennium BCE, which may indicate a significant decline in population during this time”.2 This de-population time occurred around the start of the Irish Iron Age. Later, new groups of people started to arrive and fill the gaps. They brought new technology, gods and goddesses, icons and ideas. It was a cultural revolution. Centuries afterwards, their history and stories, orally transmitted, started to be recorded by medieval monks onto vellum manuscripts. The mythic era had began!

Breifni, the old name for north Leitrim, was regarded as one of the ‘rough thirds of Ireland’ – mostly unsuited to farming. Dominated by mountains, hills, lakes and boggy marshland, much of it was heavily forested. This allowed the ancient Gaelic culture to remain undisturbed, despite colonisation, until relatively recent times.3 Despite the landscape challenges for farming, Breifne has long been important for its high concentration of mineral resources. With the bulk of Ireland’s iron ore located here, it was a hot spot in the Iron Age. In an origin myth of the coming of the Tuatha da Danaan, this mythical invader tribe first appeared on Leitrim’s Iron Mountain. It was a good choice, because here they could forge their superior iron weapons, under a cloak of cloud and forest. Iron can be sharpened much better than the bronze tools and weapons of the day, and it has deadlier potential. Forests are quicker to clear with iron axes too. This myth describes the coming of the Iron Age to Ireland.

As people sought control of the metal resources, there was much to fight about. As a result, borders were exceptionally fluid until Gaelic control was ended, with the Plantation of Leitrim from the early 1600s. (The last area in Ireland to be so colonised.) So, too, the meanderings of Legendary Leitrim also strays over modern borders at times, to Deeply Map out and showcase many of the amazing ancient places and legends in the mythic fabric of this beautiful region.

Since the time of the Great Famine, Leitrim saw a huge population decline. It went from 155,000 in pre-famine times, to just over 35,000 today. As a result, there was little desire to develop the land or remove monuments of the past. The people were gone. Thanks to official recording of sites, first by the Ordnance Survey (OS) mappers in the 1830s, we know of a great many monuments located here, and also see ones noted that have since disappeared. Amazingly, an estimated 90% of the monuments in Leitrim still remain, in some degree! 4 There are lots and more are being found. Mostly in ruinous condition, many are still recognisable and it’s amazing there’s anything left after so much time. A taboo to not touch sites usually prevailed, until colonial times. Then they were at the mercy of Plantation landlords, who did preserve some, or ‘enhanced’ them as ornaments for their demesnes.

When exploring Leitrim’s ancient past, don’t expect to see grand ‘castles’. Gaelic lords traditionally lived, or bunkered down, on crannogs, artificial islands with wooden buildings that they could retreat to, ensuring seclusion and safety in wartime. Castles are more Anglo-Norman in style and typically just un-glamorous stone tower houses, two or three stories high. The fortified homes of the elite were prime targets and were usually destroyed by rebel groups.

What is a common sight in Leitrim (and not so much in the rest of Ireland) are the one thousand plus recorded ring forts, as seen on the right. These protected farmsteads were typically situated on hilltops, with wattle and daub, thatched roofed homes surrounded by circular mud or stone walls that kept them and livestock safe from wolves at night. There’s not been much archeological examination of them, however the Leitrim Fort Group has lately been conducting a survey, of what were the ideal home sites of their day, between the Bronze Age and the Middle Ages. 5

Exploration of sites can be done on many levels. Sites without stories can be barren and boring. If we visit sites, soak up the atmosphere and reflect on their stories, we bring them back to life in our imagination. This helps us to resonate more deeply and richly with the landscape. It can also provide clues to past site history, for distinguishing natural landscape features from man-made, where energy signatures can be strikingly different. This is because of the remanence factor, where sites long ruined, hidden or levelled can still have palpable feelings that we might sense if focussing sensitively. Maverick English biologist Rupert Sheldrake came up with the name Morphogenetic Fields to explain this phenomena. I call them Fields of Memory, that can often be charged with intense emotional content from the past. A sensitive researcher or pilgrim can access these Akashic Records, as the ancient Indians called them.

I have sprinkled in some of my own psychic site impressions, for good measure. After more than forty years of interaction with the energetic dimensions of landscape through professional dowsing and geomancy work (initially in Australia), I’m qualified to speak about subtle aspects of sites. And I think anyone and everyone can benefit from seeking their own experience of the Deep Mapping of landscape.

I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I have!

* How Electroculture Will Save The World!

Francesco Picardi interviewed by Helen Boshier in Hertfordshire, UK.

How a rediscovered art of harnessing atmospheric energy is transforming soils, harvests, and communities.
This is the story of that vision and how Francesco and his team is bringing something incredible special to the land.

Francesco’s Journey Into the Energetic World
Francesco’s story is incredible, falling into this work ‘by chance.’ It began around eight years ago during a visit in Italy, when a good friend’s Father was very sick. Francesco, passionate about mechanical engineering, was asked to build a healing ‘organ chamber’ inspired by Wilhelm Reich’s orgone energy devices. Francesco was enthralled by his chamber, in which he could feel the heat radiating from the harnessed energy “without socket or cable.”

This ignited his interest in such concepts. His friend also showed him a primitive “water of light” device inspired by the work of Masaru Emoto and radionics. Francesco was compelled to improve it. “My brain was spinning—it was a nice experience!” He dreamed about it at night and built several unsuccessful prototypes. He laughs: “They were ugly!”. Eventually, another dream brought the answers and soon he had a working model.

Francesco knew he needed to truly understand energies; he could see results from his devices but couldn’t quantify them. He then spent almost a year researching, building his knowledge, modifying and experimenting with ways of identifying and measuring different energies. This research led him to “Elettrocoltura” in Italy who teach a holistic approach to electro-culture including radionics and meditation, all of which resonated deeply with Francesco; he “was blown away”.
Everything was coming together. He embarked in intense studies with Elettrocoltura from weekend courses to 3-month deep dives, and through this network, he also met Alanna Moore. After seeing an advert for one of her own workshops; he had booked a flight within an hour of seeing it!

Francesco feels “so lucky” and credits her and his Italian mentors, with shaping his journey. “This has been a soul-level evolution. True evolution.” Eventually, he knew he had to bring Electro-culture to England.

What’s Involved? Who Is It For?
Electroculture is for anyone who wants to grow healthy food and plants and enrich soil without synthetic fertilisers, “whether or not you understand or care about the science!” Francesco enthuses. He is quick to emphasise: “It’s not just a case of sticking some copper in the ground. There’s a protocol. It must be done properly to work.”

For small projects such as gardens and allotments, the tools are simple: a compass, a small shovel, “and a lot of love!”. Even a space as small as 3m² can be transformed. For larger projects (like an 87-acre dairy farm and 450-acre food plot in which he’s currently involved), his team, including Andy Munro and Charlotte Hill, offers soil analysis, dowsing, and full installations of antennas and Power Towers to harness the energy. There are long-term savings too. Once the equipment is in place, all that’s needed is to refresh the mineral rocks every few years.

Community, Collaboration and the Future
One of the most beautiful manifestations of this vision, is Piccolo Paradiso, a community garden project in Hertfordshire created by Francesco and Andy Munro. It’s the first of what Francesco intends will be many community growing hubs across England, each feeding ten or so families. There are already two other such hubs sites in their infancy in the region, generously donated by supporters.
“This is here to help humanity,” he says, “to get out of the darkness.”

As you read this, Microbiologist Vincenzo Rubino, who develops the microorganisms for soil health (also available to buy from Francesco) will have just been to visit Piccolo Paradiso to further assist and educate Francesco and his team, and the Power Towers will also be installed. “The magic is happening!” Francesco beams.

Francesco has also set up the Electroculture Private Members Association, through which he delivers his own, and supports others’ workshops and events, with topics such as Foraging & Making Medicine, Meditation for Electroculture, and their annual Apiculture Bee Keeping event are all part of the line up, including a two-day event called Electroculture, Geotherapy, Sacred Geometry and Micro-Organisms, run with Alanna. Alanna will also be returning to run her ‘Divining our Energetic World’ weekend in October.

Other collaborators include Vincenzo, Melanie Cardwell and Stuart Izod; see the events page on electroculture.earth for more information. Francesco and his team also offer several products (from garden kits to EMF-protecting home devices, including Lakhovsky coils and copper pyramids), and educational materials on a range of associated subjects.
Anyone who knows Francesco will, I hope, hear his native Italian passione in these words. If you haven’t met him yet, you’ll soon understand the heart behind the mission: a desire to reconnect people, with themselves, the Earth, our creatures, and each other. This isn’t just about farming. It’s about Community, Self-sufficiency, Health, and Freedom.

* Spirits in the House – who and what are they?

by Alanna Moore © June 2025.

From terrifying beasties to dear dead grannies, there are so many stereotypes of spirits that might be found in peoples’ homes in the popular imagination. The Hollywood and neo- Halloween approach is not very useful, when it sets people up to automatically fear our invisible co-inhabitants. Because most of the time, spirits are not harmful to our health or wellbeing. But if they are traumatised for whatever reason, then they might become demonised and they won’t make such good house mates.

So, just what sort of spirits, Other-dimensional beings, might be found in a home, why might they be there and can we do something about the troublesome ones?

Ancestral spirits of the dead
In rural Ireland, grandma might not be able to let go of the family after death, for her enduring fondness of them. She might stay in the old home-place in order to watch over her descendants, as happens in multi-generational Irish farm houses that I’ve checked. Daddy may still be stationed at his favourite seat beside the fire, keeping an eye on things. Here, the Catholic approach seems to be a strong factor in keeping spirits of the dead housebound. People keep a strong connection to the dead, such as annual commemoration, visiting and maintaining graves etc. The spirits don’t usually do much harm. But perhaps their evolution is being hindered and it isn’t good for that soul.

The attitude towards death in Aboriginal Australia is the opposite to the Catholic approach. An intense period of mourning, called Sorry Business, involves the whole community. After it’s finished it’s taboo to utter the name of the dead person for a number of years, so the spirit’s journey and evolvement is not interrupted. In other countries, such as in Asia, there are prescribed rituals for the dead and this can generate an expectation of people to be given attention and remembered in particular ways after death. If this has not been done to the satisfaction of the dead, some spirits have been known to angrily haunt the negligent families in revenge.

Non-ancestral spirits of the dead
Some people report seeing Aboriginal spirits on their land in Australia. This is normal, for that is the traditional expectation of these First People, to return to the Earth. (In particular, to return to the sacred site from where your spirit was derived by your pregnant mother.) They might see figures looking through the windows of their home. Such spirits are just curious about who they are sharing the land with! They are not usually a bad influence and peaceful co-existence is the usual thing.

On some occasions I’ve had to deal with the spirits of some nasty characters haunting peoples’ homes. Some people, the author included, have moved to a new home and found themselves affected by a very unpleasant spirit that can be hostile and might even scare visitors away. In my case, its influence was dependant on one’s state of mind. I only once was subject to its psychic attack. One night in the crumbling old historic Sydney mansion house, my emotions were not in balance and it took advantage of my vulnerable state and weighed down on my chest as I lay in bed. It had to be strenuously resisted by my getting up and meditating on strengthening my boundaries. Later someone else kindly removed it, because I hadn’t yet learned how to deal with such things. Geomancers need to have these experiences in order to learn.

Those occasional unwelcome earth-bound spirits of the dead might destroy our peace because of their heavy histories, overbearing character or traumatic afflictions. They may need a little help to move on in their evolution. My approach is to offer them healing, forgiveness and loving compassion for their problems. I speak to them with respect and honour. Then I tell them that their ancestors are waiting for them and that angels will now help with their transition. Sometimes I feel them go pop! off into the other dimensions. That’s the satisfying sound of a job well done. From then on it’s best not to talk or think about them.

Some times a spirit of a friend or family member will come to visit people after death. Not to worry! It’s only temporary, they just want to say goodbye and grace you with one last presence.

House Spirit
In many countries there are strong traditions of the house spirit that watches over the home. In Russia they are called the domovoi and, when you moved house, the tradition was to invite the domovoi to follow you to it . It was not considered good to be without one.

In European tradition the house spirit arrived at the house being constructed in the form of a tree spirit, coming in with the timber, perhaps attached to the Oak wood front door. Being still attached to the wood of its tree, the tree spirit soon evolves its function to care for all the timbers of the home and in the process it takes on more human qualities, as it observes human life. There is a lovely book about this, by clairaudient German author Verena von Stael, called…

Land Spirits
Spirits of the land were here before we were. They have their territory and they may be very unhappy if we destroy their homes and make our homes over them. If we find ourselves living where this has happened we might be subject to some of their ongoing misery. They may try to carry on living there, but feel tortured by peoples’ wifi and phone broadcasts etc. (I know how they feel!) They may need to be moved on, if they haven’t done so already on their own initiative. It may be the go to find somewhere wholesome for them to relocate to, after a sincere apology for the upset is made to them.

If a home has been built over a previous sacred site there can be a whole range of displaced spiritual beings, including guardian spirits, adversely affected. They could cause problems in the house. A sincere ritual of apology is required here! If there is somewhere nearby that’s suitable for them, you could suggest that they move to it with your help. Or you might have to create an alternative sacred site in your backyard for them. Dowse for a suitable location, perhaps dig a hole there and bury some special stones, crystals or objects. Explain to the displaced spirits what your plans are in advance and make an appointment with them for the move, when they are ready for it.

Some earth elementals are happy to live under your home and sometimes they’ll visit you in the house and small children will often play with them. Basements might be a nice home for them. It’s good to acknowledge them and be respectful. I also keep a healthy social distance from the gnomes under my own kitchen most of the time and they cause me no problems. One has a wicked sense of humour! If any drastic house renovations that might affect them are about to be done, you need to check in with them in advance and explain it all until it’s understood and ‘planning approval’ is granted, or a negotiated outcome at least.

Nature Spirits
Sometimes a nature spirit can get stuck in the home and might need to be escorted out. Fairies (air elemental beings) might fly in for some reason (or come in attached to something) and not find their way out. Escort them gently out the door. Or flowers might be picked and displayed in the home and flower spirits that have come in with them might be upset and need to be returned to the plant. Or a tree in the garden may be brutally chopped down and traumatised nature spirits associated with it can cause a bit of havoc in the home. It’s a good idea to tune in to them and ask them what’s wrong and what can you do to help things? (Maybe plant more trees!)

Some sensitive people can be a ‘deva magnet’ and nature spirits who like their energy might want to attach to them. They can be inadvertently carried home from a holiday! I’ve collected a few myself at times. I tell them to stay where they are; I’ve also consciously invited a water spirit to come with me from soggy New Zealand, where I’d been teaching, to the drought stricken part of Australia where I lived (towards the end of the awful Millennium Drought). It didn’t enjoy the flight back but was ok when I returned to the farm. I suggested it be stationed in one of the Power Towers, which it did. Within 10 days, the weather had changed and became damp. A sheen of green started to spread across the thirsty land, a wonderful sight. My spontaneous plan had worked!

Fairy Passes and Portals
The presence of geomantic patterns of strong energy may be the cause of spirits being in the home. Energetic pathways, that some call Magnetic Lines, Fairy Passes, or Dragon Lines, can be bringing them in. They can be very disturbing to the people too. So much folklore warns to never interfere with these energies. “Don’t build your home over a Fairy Pass, or you would lose your cows, or your family”, is the tradition. But if you find one going through a home, the good news is that you might be able to move it. Talk to it first, apologise for the upset, explain your situation. It might just move itself. Or you might have to first suggest an alternative route for it. (Make sure all metal things are removed from this alternative path beforehand, or it would not be suitable.) When you have gained permission for a move, make an appointment for when to do this.

If a home has a portal in it, dowse-able as a geo-spiral / earth vortex, this can act as a point for spirits to come and go into the home. It’s an entrance to the Otherworld. It may need to be removed, otherwise there will always be spirits coming and going and they might, for example, induce mental problems for living residents. I have had to move a few to an alternative location that had been pre-prepared for it. I talked to it first and explained what the plan was, waiting for their understanding and acceptance. When the time was right, I moved the vortex, slowly and decisively shooshing it along to the new spot, where I had already buried a few special stones and poured in my blessings. Then all was good! Other people talk about ‘closing down’ an unwanted portal. But that doesn’t sound ethical to me and what’s to stop it from randomly popping up in another room? Better to work consciously and co-operatively with the energies of place for a good collective outcome.

Years ago I had to move a portal, because the Steiner school in Canberra (Australia) wanted to build a new kindergarten right over a geo-spiral. It was the best spot for the building, the architect said, so I offered to move the vortex to a better location. Otherwise if I didn’t, there could be chaos in the classroom! On that occasion I had clairvoyant partner Billy Arnold (RIP) there and he was watching what was happening on the Other dimensions. Billy reported that he could see the vortex moving along, as well as a few nature spirits that were associated with it, all following me to the new location. It’s always good to hear the different perceptions and perspectives of others. When I’m doing this work, it’s my feelings that inform me that things are moving in sync. If I move too fast – they tell me to slow down! It’s an intense exercise and very energy draining; while you need to be careful not to upset the energies of place, for example a botched or unwelcomed attempt to move a Fairy Line might “tread on the dragon’s tail” in the wrong way!

Thought-Forms and Memory Fields
Memories of place can sometimes manifest in ways that suggest a place is haunted, when it is merely haunted by place memories, rather than by a spirit. Strong thought forms of people might be residual at a place and remain influential to other people. Think of a huge Nazi rally, for example; or a site in north London near where I lived last century, a bridge of haunting memories where people came to jump off it onto a busy road, leaving behind them awful imprints at points along it. It was locally called Suicide Bridge. I felt those horror spots each time I walked over that bridge, pushing the baby stroller. It seriously needed a cleansing, to prevent more of the same behaviour, by removing a strong influence on the vulnerable. I didn’t know that you could clear them then.

One technique is to first intentionally break the thought forms up with loud percussive sounds such as bells / gongs / clashing cymbals, playing lively happy music, by chanting Aum, etc. Then visualising swirling fields of colour drenching the scene – white for purification, green for healing and violet for transformation. Maybe finish with some calm, soothing, harmonious music, or by toning or chanting. Aums are always good.

Ex-battlefields may be a bit more difficult to clear, you might need to get friends to help you. Some of the soldiers may not know that the war is over and need to be told that, to stop any continuing violent behaviour. One home I went to had some such spirits from a century before. After my clearing work, there were no more sleepless nights and psychic attacks on the living!

Alien Spirits
These are uncommon, but they are out there. They seem to be attracted to high energy areas. I haven’t met one in a home, but in a rural backyard – yes. It was a hot springs, volcanic area in Victoria and the land owner had observed his alien visitors coming and going over the previous 11 years, without any negative impact on him. (I surmise that they were ‘feeding’ from the mineralised waters that were under the ground there with a high pressure that made taps occasionally burst.) In that instance there was peaceful coexistence. It wasn’t the only one that I met in that region. It was a bit unnerving to the human residents, but no-one was harmed. I didn’t want to focus on them too much when I was there. My policy with aliens is – to don’t ignore, but don’t engage with them. Because, I suppose, we become what we think about too much!

* CMEs and Us

by Sky Moore, May 2025.

I first heard about CMEs (Coronal Mass Ejections from the Sun) a long time ago, but then later read that it’s not such a big deal (just power blackouts and interrupted communications). I figured it must have been wrong, what I originally heard about CMEs. It’s actually a massive potential problem and much more of a risk than most people realise. It’s the kind of topic insurance underwriters occupy themselves with, but many corporations would rather ignore this problem (much like climate change) because they don’t want to spend money on, and/or accept responsibility for, mitigating the risk.

It’s a low probability, high risk event. The US and Europe are both highly vulnerable to a major CME event. If it’s any solace, we’d have about 1- 3 days to prepare, if a major CME was ejected from the Sun, on a collision course towards the Earth’s orbital path. And then we can all pray that it misses! (A near miss major CME event could also cause significant damage!)

Geomagnetic storms can create geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) in commercial power lines and energy infrastructure, with enough power to knock out large transformers. According to research, category 1- 2 ‘perfect storm’ CME events are likely to happen every 100 years. The impact of a major CME event could be disastrous, as most of the transformers around the world are quite old and are not GIC proof. A major CME event could cause blackouts for weeks, even months, which could potentially create multiple nuclear meltdowns.

This could happen to nuclear power stations that need external power from the grid to keep the core reactor cool (and spent rods also, which take years to cool down). They use a lot of water but external power is also needed to operate the cooling systems. Diesel back up generators for the cooling systems are only intended for short black outs, not for black outs that go on for weeks or months. If the cooling systems shut down, the water will evaporate and then the rods catch on fire, and eventually – a nuclear meltdown. It’s a potential knock on effect if there were major blackouts due to GIC. Whether or not it would happen elsewhere, I have no idea, but these articles make it clear this is a real risk in the US, due to dodgy practices with how they store the spent rods.

Large blackouts can also create vast internet blackouts – just look at what happened in Spain and Portugal recently and you can imagine how a major CME event might look like. Total chaos!

Whatever caused the blackout in Spain and Portugal has been resolved fairly quickly, compared with what could potentially happen in a major CME event. Very long high voltage cables are giant antennas for GIC. Imagine the majority of the entire European grid (there’s a map in the Guardian article above) going down, with many large transformers exploding or catching fire, requiring replacements and repairs. Building replacement large transformers would take time, and probably 3/4 of the current infrastructure is vulnerable to GIC.

What all this shows us is how truly fragile and unsustainable our technological society is. If we don’t destroy ourselves with global warming, our technology might find another way of destroying us.

* Stone Age Farming 3rd edition, by Alanna Moore

Reviewed by Charles Dowding, UK

“Translating old wisdom into new possibilities. Clearly explained ideas and methods for using old knowledge in a modern context. Many have been recently been ‘lost to view’, and will benefit us when understood and practiced again. Alanna gives lovely ideas of how you can bring these energies into your home space, in a way that’s beneficial to you, your living environment and your garden. There are long-lived improvements you can make very quickly and inexpensively. I heartily recommend this book, and her approach”.

* Fairy Haunts of Ireland by Alanna Moore

Reviewed by Laurence Main, Network of Ley Hunters, UK, May 2025.

“This could become one of my favourite books. It’s up there with the great Michael Dames.”

* New Energies for Gardening – simple ways to increase growth

by Charles Dowding, 20025, UK, reviewed by Alanna Moore.

“Invisible energies have always intrigued me,” begins this little booklet by Charles Dowding , who is well known to natural growers for his teaching and writing books about no-dig gardening. “And until recently, I’ve not said much about them, because I’ve concentrated more on explaining my work with soil and plants. It’s only recently that I feel there’s a strong interest in the subjects this book touches on…. I want this book to help you grow a healthier, more productive garden, as well as understand energies you had not thought of.”

In this 31 page A5 book Charles describes a range of esoteric gardening techniques, including Electro-Culture, and some of his experiments with them. Power Towers and Alanna Moore’s work get several mentions too! Charles’ genuine enthusiasm should inspire gardeners to try some of the techniques.
