Dowsing articles - experiences using the rod and pendulum in practice with contributions, ideas and comments Living trees for life During a divining demonstration at Castle Drogo last year, Mick Jones, the National Trust Warden for the Teign Valley Properties asked if a dowser could tell when a tree was dying.
Trees have growth and rest periods.
This seasonal cycle makes annular rings that are a characteristic feature of all timber. Even experienced foresters may not be absolutely sure whether a tree is actually dying or merely dormant for the winter, until, perhaps, it fails to spring into life later on. Occasionally for a while, a large tree supports some growth from within itself eventhough it is dying. A dowser should be able to detect, identify, and establish a tree's aura, and thereby know whether it is flurishing or not. This could be prevented with proven divining techniques.
