Earth-Spirited PermacultureThe concepts behind geomancy and permaculture fit well together. It is beneficial to map out inherent energies of a site to input into a permaculture design and thus maximise the use of all the energies of the site. A sacred grove might be included, for instance, not only to provide wildlife habitat, but also as a haven for the nature spirits and for people's peaceful contemplation and meditation. Other energies, such as geopathic stress zones, which are best avoided by people, are ideal places to locate particular plants and animals. Alanna Moore can provide earth-spirited permaculture design advice and dowsing surveys. Alanna Moore has three diplomas of permaculture from Bill Mollison's Permaculture Institute (diplomas in site implementation, education, and media and communications) gained in 1992. Fees can be negotiated upon application. ParamagnetismProfessor Phil Callahan discovered that paramagnetism (that is - a weak attraction to a magnet), whilst only a weak force in nature relative to ferromagnetism (which is well known to have powerful effects on biological processes) has an enhancing effect on the fertility and vitality on lifeforms. Even people living on paramagnetic soil areas are happier and more peaceful, whilst enjoying good soil fertility. Callahan believes that paramagnetism is as important as nutrients, air and moisture are to soil. Volcanic rock is a major source of paramagnetic material. Fine powdered volcanic rock dust is an excellant source of nutrients for soil micro-organisms and recent university studies indicate that it improves soil conductivity. Broadcast over poor soil, such rock dust will induce a paramagnetic state and act as a long lasting fertiliser. Paramagnetic stone circles and rock mulches around trees are also beneficial in the garden. (Another way of inducing paramagnetism in soil is to build a Tower of Power, which acts as a waveguide for the paramagnetism emitted by the sun.) Alanna Moore can assess the paramagnetic qualities of rocks and soil in a locality and advise on their use. Other Forms of Esoteric AgricultureBiodynamics, agni hotra, etc are other forms of esoteric agriculture which Alanna Moore has written about in Geomantica magazine and also in her latest book - 'Stone Age Farming'. |
