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.

🎙️ Discovering Dowsing with Alex Russell-Stoneham - Episode 15

🪨 What happens when a field of standing stones reveals itself as a library?

In this episode of Discovering Dowsing, I am joined by author, artist and intuitive energy reader Natasha Hoffman for a fascinating journey through dowsing, intuition, ancient sacred sites, Earth energies and spiritual sovereignty.

Natasha shares how a lifelong sensitivity to intuitive information eventually led her from art and natural healing into kinesiology - something she describes beautifully as "dowsing with the body".

✨ Then came an extraordinary calling.

Years after a healer told Natasha that she needed to visit "a field full of stones", she unexpectedly recognised that place as the ancient megalithic landscape of Carnac in Brittany.

Standing beside one of the stones, Natasha heard a clear voice say:

"This is a library."

That moment began a five-year journey of returning to Carnac, dowsing amongst thousands of standing stones and recording the words, images and intuitive information she received. The work eventually became her book The Standing Stones Speak: Messages From The Archangels Revealed.

🌿 Along the way, Natasha and I explore:

• Dowsing through the body and the wisdom of kinesiology
• Intuitive energy readings and working beyond physical distance
• The remarkable synchronicities that led Natasha to Carnac
• Dowsing amongst 4,000 stones and being guided to four particular stones
• Discernment when receiving intuitive and spiritual information
• Archangels, Sandalphon and sacred Earth energy pathways
• Ley lines, serpent lines and the energetic landscape
• Dragons, elementals and unseen aspects of the natural world
• Art, grace, labyrinths and co-creating with consciousness
• Spiritual sovereignty and the importance of learning to trust ourselves
• The powerful message of "Know Thyself"
• Natasha's dream of being handed a flaming torch and being asked to carry wisdom forward

🔥 Our conversation eventually returns to perhaps the deepest form of exploration of all - the journey within.

Natasha shares an intuitive message associated with Alexander the Great:

"That's not the way. You have to learn to conquer yourself."

It leads us into a beautiful reflection on self-knowledge, inner authority and the difference between seeking control outside ourselves and developing sovereignty within.

💫 At the heart of this episode is an invitation to listen more deeply - to the body, to intuition, to the Earth and to those quiet forms of guidance that may be speaking to us all the time.

📚 Natasha Hoffman's books include:

The Standing Stones Speak - Messages From The Archangels Revealed
Voices Out of Stone - Magic and Mystery in Megalithic Brittany
Pupils of the Eye - Archangels of the Sacred Paths
