In this episode of Discovering Dowsing, Alex Russell-Stoneham welcomes Grahame Gardner - geomancer, former President of the British Society of Dowsers and creator of Adventures in Dowsing, believed to have been the internet’s first podcast devoted to dowsing.
🌿 Grahame shares how his journey began as a teenager with a pair of wire coat hangers, before leading him into earth energies, sacred sites and the living relationship between people and place.
Together, Alex and Grahame explore:
✨ The meaning and practice of Western geomancy
💧 Underground water, energy flows and power centres
🌈 The origins and uses of the Gardner Rosette
🪨 Dowsing stone circles and ancient sacred landscapes
🎶 Working with sound, chanting and intention at sacred sites
🌙 Grahame’s powerful personal connection with Tomnaverie stone circle
🧭 Callanish and some of Britain’s most significant ancient places
🏙️ Glasgow’s Secret Geometry and the pioneering work of Harry Bell
🌀 Consciousness, altered states and the holographic nature of experience
Grahame also recounts the extraordinary week he and a group spent working with the energies at Tomnaverie following its archaeological restoration - chanting, sounding the stones and watching the circle’s energetic pattern become clearer and more coherent.
This is a warm and wide-ranging conversation about curiosity, respectful engagement with the land and the deep connections waiting to be discovered within our local landscapes.
