In the News: A Celebration of Aboriginal
Dreaming On the weekend of September 8 9th Alice Springs hosted the biggest corroborree ever held and it was also Australia's most significant centenary of federation event of the year, according to Geoffrey Blainey, the Chairman of the National Council for the Centenary of Federation. A major reconciliation event, with a crowd of some 30,000 people watching (- more than the population of Alice!), the festival was also a celebration of the most important Dreamings (geomantic traditions) of the town the Caterpillar/ Yeperenye Dreaming. A showcase of indigenous talent, the entertainment was tempered by moving ceremonies, such as when members of the stolen generation of Aborigines (who had been removed from their families by government policies and forced to live in institutions) were greeted and hugged by local Arrente women elders. Ex-prime ministers Gough Whitlam and Malcolm Fraser took part in the event and were honoured for their contribution towards Aboriginal land rights. To quote the report in the Centralian Advocate of Sept 11th 2001 - 'The Yeperenye Festival was a breathtaking display of music, dance and culture. More than 1200 children carrying lanterns danced and giggled among six golden 12 metre tall caterpillars around 5 separate circular stages, representing traditional song lines.' The Yeperenye Spectacle portrayed the convergence of the caterpillars along the dreaming tracks at Alice Springs (with 5 stages in a circle connected to a central stage), the fierce battle between the ntyarike caterpillar and the iriperenye (stink beetle), the creation of the surrounding MacDonnell Ranges (a spectacular sight as the ranges were lit up by powerful spotlights), the caterpillars' transformation into cocoons and their final re-emergence as hawk moths. John Williamson sang an emotional couple of songs with his Hermannsberg Aboriginal mate Warren Williams including 'Thousand Feet', which is about the many generations of Aboriginals who have walked around Uluru, reported the Centralian. To quote 'Williams said - It is the spiritual centre of the nation I felt maybe it was pretentious of me to write about a place of such spiritual significance. We sang Thousand Feet while the caterpillars representing the five mobs met together for the first time in decades, and tears were streaming down Warren's face. It is the kind of emotion that inspires young Aborigines to hold their traditions close to their hearts.' Your editor can verify that there were many very emotional moments over that momentous weekend and an important and major act of the recognition of Aboriginal suffering and healing had occurred. It felt as if a great deal of tension had been released, and, as if to assist the purging process, the brooding skies opened up after it was all over and Alice copped some lovely rain showers. There is talk of staging a similar festival in Alice Springs every several years to showcase indigenous culture. Clare Martin, chief minister of the new (and first time) Labor government who was in the audience 'said Labor's promise of a $10 million indigenous cultural centre could help build on the success of Yeperenye.' T he festival was recorded by the cameras of more than 30 international news teams.' (For more info on Geomantica filming done at Alice Springs see - 'In the Geomantica Pipeline'.) In Alice Springs even the most ordinary landscape feature can have spiritual significance. Some sites, like the dingo puppy sites, are just a couple of dog sized rocks, Billy told me. There are many sacred trees around, one of which grows in front of one of the town banks, and developers face heavy fines if they destroy them. Billy showed me maps of registered sites that must be checked before development approval is given. As a consequence of the Arrernte peoples' revealing of their Caterpillar Dreamings at the Festival we might expect greater significance being given to sacred landscapes and a better understanding of the cultural and spiritual values of the land. "They've had to go public on this sacred information to stop sites being destroyed" Billy explained. (Of course only fully initiated people are given the full story of the Dreamings, the public receives a much lower level of understandings.) Billy has been researching the Aboriginal dreaming of the region for several years as part of a longterm research project for a book he is writing on yoga, the universe and other realities. Billy has previously spent years in the UK, researching sacred sites via meditation and yoga there. Alanna went over to Alice Springs to film some of his work. Geomantica is organising for Billy to run 'Sacred Alice Springs Tours exploring sacred Aboriginal art, dreaming and landscapes of the region' in June 2002. Participant numbers will be limited, so expressions of interest should be made as soon as possible (to info@geomantica.com) The Story of the Yeperenye (extracted from the festival program
of events) Sacred places can include individual trees that record the fighting stance of a warrior engaged in battle, and seemingly minor rocky features often mark a place where the ancestors rested or discarded objects. Their struggles and adventures are preserved and celebrated through song, ceremony and the maintenance of sacred sites. The Yeperenye, Utnerrengatye and Ntyarlke caterpillars were the major creative forces for the Alice Springs area and are among the most sacred and important of all Arrernte totems. They formed the ranges that surround the Festival grounds. The Caterpillar ancestors came from many different places. They travelled from the north at Apmerrknge (Central Mount Stuart), from Urlatherrke (Mt Zeil) in the west, Atula to the east and Apwetele to the south. The Caterpillars converged at Mpwarntwe, the epicentre of Caterpillar culture, where they held pitched battles with the Irlperenye (stink bug men). The area is rich in battle grounds, 'cocoon' sites, dance grounds and campsites used by the Caterpillar ancestors. While the beauty and diversity of Yeperenye, Utnerrengatye and Ntyarlke mere caterpillars are overlooked by most Australians, the creation stories of the Arrernte people abound with drama, beauty, humour and ecological facts. They reveal, in a humble and understated way, the triumph of indigenous people as sensitive observers of the natural world. Certainly the Caterpillars of Mpwarntwe demonstrates the cross-cultural potential of Aboriginal 'mythology' to educate, inspire and uplift us all."
Well it's back in the news again and this time there has been a positive win, in the long and painful saga of the destruction of sacred landscapes at Hindmarsh Island, South Australia, (featured in an article in Geomantica no. 10 - summer 2000). A $20 million compensation claim by the marina developers Thomas and Wendy Chapman was finally rejected by a Federal Court judge on August 21st, after a trial lasting 129 days. The Chapmans were suing for losses sustained when construction of the bridge from the mainland was banned by the Keating government in 1994, a decision which was later overturned in court. Justice von Doussa was quoted by The Age (22/8/01) that "Upon the evidence before this court, I am not satisfied that the restricted women's knowledge was fabricated or that it was not part of genuine Aboriginal tradition." This was in opposition to the conclusion of the Hindmarsh Island Royal Commission in 1995, that "The women's business emerged in response to a need of the anti-bridge lobby to provide something of sufficient cultural significance to warrant the making of a declaration by the federal minister." The Ngarrindjeri women had boycotted the $2.1 million Royal Commission. So the claims of the women - that the bridge, which opened earlier this year, was being built on sacred land - have been backed up (again), potentially reopening one of the nation's longest running and most divisive legal battles. The Ngarrindjeri women, who had supplied evidence of the area's secret cultural significance in sealed envelopes, have now demanded an apology from the Federal Government for the building of the bridge. Chief custodian of the women's business, Dr Doreen Kartinyeri, said "I hope it can prove to the world I am not a fabricator. This is a victory for all indigenous people in this country." An overflowing courtroom erupted when a summary of the judgment was read. Aboriginal women and their supporters broke into applause. Outside the court a Ngarrindjeri woman known as Auntie Maggie said "The bloody bridge should be pulled down." A lawyer for the women, Stephen Kenny, said that "They have forever been challenged on their beliefs, they have been called liars in other parts of the country," he said. "I believe that now Aboriginal people will try to reclaim some of that lost ground." He said that the real problem was the damage done to their integrity in their negotiations with mining companies and other developers. Appropriate compensation would be considered, he said, but the fight wasn't about money. "It is about protecting culture and heritage and the government should look very carefully at doing something constructive for the Ngarrindjeri people" he said. A spokesperson for Aboriginal Affairs Minister Phillip Ruddock said "There have been a number of different findings and this is another one." The Chapmans are considering appealing the decision. (The Age 22/8/01) For background information on the Ngarrindjeri nation I highly recommend reading 'Ngarrindjeri Wurruwarrin: A world that is, was, and will be' by the feminist anthropologist Diane Bell.
Peter 'Huck' and Beth Shepherd are farmers on a 620ha property at Kybybolite, South Australia, who have grown grains as well as beef, wool and lambs with a minimum of chemicals for 30 years, reported the Weekly Times, August 15th, 2001. With a regime of soil testing and balancing using the Albrecht model he has found soils improving and is able to cultivate deeper each year since starting the regime and is more friable and easier to work. He sells linseed, cereal and legume crops at much higher premiums over conventional produce, up to 1000%. The biggest insect problem has been heliothis in linseed. "Last year we weren't challenged by heliothis the year before we used a radionics machine" Huck told the reporter he has also used radionics for worm control in the sheep. "Radionics uses subtle energies and frequencies, but I am reluctant to talk about it because it makes me look like a whacker. But it does work and has huge potential. We will hear a lot more about it in the next 10 years."
Archaeological Dowsing
in Northern England When you demolish a shed and find an air raid shelter beneath it, and beneath that you find a cobble stoned pavement what to do? Brian Harrison of Roman Avenue, Chester-le-Street, County Durham, (once an important stopping off point for Roman soldiers marching from York to Hadrian's Wall), called in the local Northern Archaeological Group, as reported the London Independent of 24-7-01. "He was sceptical when they used dowsing rods to discover there were ancient Roman remains below. But when the group dug more holes across his once respectable lawn, Mr Harrison was convinced." The Group said that it was an exciting find, that they had unearthed a good quality cobbled area that ran next to a Roman house and fragments of pottery, flint and a ball, probably from a slingshot. They plan more excavations at the home.
Charles Curtayne
Energy Worker in Victoria
I visited Charles Curtayne recently in his Melbourne factory at Mentone and asked him about his work with Earth healing/space clearing and sacred geometry. Charles has an engineering back ground but is more interested in sacred technologies these days. In his one man business Tiamat Global, Charles is happily manufacturing various of his own innovative devices that he has designed and markets. He proudly showed me the floor clamp he invented for easier floorboard laying as well as his new water distiller. A long time inventor, Charles has been on the inventors' television show three times and won prizes for his innovations. He spent five years of his life in the 1970's manufacturing special fittings and mechanisms out of brass for the Sydney Opera House, including his revolutionary magnetic door stop. Interesting energy places At the Sylvan Dam upper car park there is a path going uphill with half a dozen poplar trees that all eerily lean over the path. When you walk along the track there you feel off balance, he has observed. Donnybrook Springs is a place with very disturbed energy, where he feels there could have been a past massacre and massacres of Aboriginal people were very common in the past across this country. Donnybrook is an Irish slang term for a fight. Space Clearing To begin a space clearing his partner would first play the digeridoo, generating a heart beat like drone. The rhythmic tapping of clap sticks might also be used. The intentions of the people involved were a very important aspect of the process. If an entity needed removing Charles would locate the spot where it was hanging around, by extra-sensory means. He would then talk out loud to it, mentally linking up and asking it gently to move on towards the light and loved ones. After spirits were released in this way there would be a completely different feel and energy level in the house and Charles would find himself broadly smiling a lot. He never encountered problems performing this work, as he felt that all those lost souls were really wanting guidance and help, and, as long as he was coming from the heart, it was always a successful operation. For the Earthbound spirits of Aboriginal people a different strategy was used, as the Aboriginal entities seemed to respond better to fire and smoke, with the energy vortex of the fire taking them up and away, in Charles's experience. So the method was to light a small fire and to ask them to come to the fire and jump into it. Often when the entities reached this point other Aboriginal spirits from all around would appear out of nowhere and join in. One case that he dealt with, at a haunted house in Beveridge, was a good example. In the garden there had once been a stone circle and Charles asked the four resident teenagers to help by replacing the missing stones. He then made a small fire in the middle. Having discovered a female entity lurking in the mother's bedroom, a didgeridoo drone was started up and Charles began to talk to the woman, coaxing her outside and helping her to overcome her reluctance. Eventually she made it to the fire and as she was about to step into it some one dozen other lost souls appeared and also dived in, and thus all went upwards and were gone. The teenagers were present and most intrigued, so it was a good education for them. Sacred geometry Regular exposure to pyramid energy, Charles states in a brochure, causes plants and animals to grow faster and attain a higher state of health than other groups. With people brainwave activity shows a marked difference when people are inside a pyramid, for there is increased amplitude and regularity for all their brainwaves. There may be up to 2-3 times the amplitude of alpha and theta waves and higher frequencies experienced when meditating inside a pyramid. Open framed models are just as effective as enclosed ones. In early experiments meditating inside a pyramid, Charles found that when he faced south composure came easily, while north facing meditation brought increased energy and stimulation. East or west facing meditation brought an increase in higher perceptions. And there are countless other fascinating applications of pyramid energy, such as people achieving better sleep, purification of polluted water, slower ripening of fruit etc, etc. The star tetrahedron is another favourite shape being two tetrahedron pyramids put together. This shape is a three dimensional Star of David and is also known as a Merkaba. This shape is said to be the same as the energy field around the human body. "The vibrational frequency of the planet has increased from a steady 7.83 Hz to 9.2Hz in July '96 and is expected to go up to 15 by 2012. The star tetrahedron is more resonant to this time of higher planetary frequencies than the pyramid", Charles states in his brochure. Sleeping inside the star tetrahedron shape for half an hour each evening, Charles found that he was starting not to want to eat so much food, which he understands as being due to having filled up with so much prana/ chi/energy. He would feel light headed after 30 minutes and would get out of the Star, after which he had to take things slowly. In an experiment in Newcastle two children with ADD were tested for their ability to concentrate on playing games on a computer screen when wired up to an EEG. After putting one child under the star shape still wired up the EEG malfunctioned. Too much energy! The other child was tested, put under the Star for a short spell, and then retested. She displayed a 60% improvement in beta wave activity. The Catholic nun involved was very excited at the potential of this method. With a woman who came to him originally just for colour therapy, a session of sitting within the Star unleashed a healing crisis and at first her health felt much worse for a few days. But then it started to improve and she was improving after each subsequent session. "The shape of the Merkeba was not known to the ancient Atlanteans, but this tool is now being given to us to work with. We need to understand that it is a tool of light and can only be used with divine intention" it says in Charles' brochure. Life as a Keyline Consultant Some 30 years ago Charles was travel ling up to the Sydney shows and 4-5 day farm schools, to which people came from all over the world. He taught the farmers how to best lay out channels and locate dams, and also lectured at Longerang and Dooki agricultural colleges. He had previously been a farmer in Benalla for a few years and with his engineering background had a perfect skill mix for the job. One day a guy showed him how to divine water with a forked stick. It wouldn't work for him, however, until the man placed his hand upon his wrist as he attempted to dowse. He didn't use dowsing to locate dams (to place them next to springs, as many people do) because he had to place them according to the keyline system. But in his travels he met many people who had the knowledge of dowsing and he read books on the subject and developed quite an interest. Naturally - he has made many pairs of divining rods for people in his time. Charles always follows his gut feelings and takes time out whenever he chooses. This is why he doesn't want to employ any helpers. As you can imagine he greatly enjoys his work and business is good, although it can get demanding and he is determined not to over -work. I admire his intensely creative spirit and ingenuity! Contact Charles at Tiamat Global

experiences & musings Ann C. contacted me one day recently about her need for a dowsing survey of her home in the Melbourne suburb of Canterbury. She was so glad to find me, as her natural therapist had given her an old interstate address for me, so she had to track me down. She had been told by two natural therapists, that, from indications gained with health/energy testing units, she was suffering from geopathic stress. Her energies and health had been dragged down after the years of living in that house. Ann had previously got onto a map dowser in England. They had found that two large streams of underground water, running in a cross pattern under her home, were the culprit. She had done her own dowsing and found a third, smaller stream. But she didn't know what to do about it. Ann had called in several practitioners who claimed to be able to clear the energies by mental/psychic abilities alone. Whatever they had done the energies in the home were still unbearable, so it hadn't worked. "Thank goodness I've found someone who uses the copper
pipes method" (to clear geopathic stress) she said. "I'd
heard about it, but couldn't find anyone who practised it." She didn't tell me what had already been divined. My own initial map dowsing had found large areas were geopathically affected and when I got around to visit the house I had soon located the two large streams previously map dowsed in the UK, plus the smaller one that had been missed. The energy was pretty strong and I was 'going wobbly' at times from having to tune into it. I indicated where several copper pipes were required to neutralise the three streams. As usual I was out of there within an hour one wouldn't want to do this work for too long! The other day Ann rang me out of the blue. Yes things were very good now, she said, since she had finished the job and banged some pipes into place. Relief at last! Now she is planning to sell the house as it is much too big for her. All the better that the energies have been fixed up -it should sell much more easily and not just be a case of passing on the problem. She rang to get me to map dowse a place she was interested to buy. A short time later the fax rang and out popped the new house plan and auction notes. I mentally attuned to Ann first before dowsing to help connect me to the plan. It showed up neutral energetically at the house, and dowsing also indicated that the backyard of the property, with its bushland and waterfalls, was a wonderful spot energetically, a haven for nature spirits. Dowsing before you take the plunge is definitely the go! Not long after this I received feedback about two new Towers of Power. A woman, whose chakras I had dowsed over at a workshop went home after helping to build the Tower (which is not far from her home) and experienced an emotional catharsis. She was angry with everyone. After she had settled down though she noted that her life was cruising much more easily, her energy cleared. A new Tower owner elsewhere also became furiously angry with everything and everyone, and also started to experience physical elimination of toxins, with greatly increased number of (normal) stools. Here we gain a glimpse of the potential of a Tower as a form of acupuncture for clearing energy blockages, with far reaching effects, from land to people energies. Perhaps showing how intimately connected we are to the Earth and the processes we set in place in the landscape. The results may be challenging initially, but ultimately the healing crises that are sometimes triggered after the Towers go can be the harbingers of positive change. When we are ready for change it will come eventually, especially when graciously invited with affirmations, as we do in consecrating the Towers for the betterment of all. The Tower energies being ideally suited to such etheric programming. The ancients used 'needles of stone' for their Earth acupuncture work. We use copper pipes and tubes of paramagnetic rock dust to improve environmental harmony. Classical acupuncture uses metal needles, which in Bhutan are only made from silver or gold, I was told by a Bhutanese man who worked for the World Health Organisation in Sri Lanka when I studied acupuncture there in 1985. By the way - Tom Graves' classic book 'Needles of Stone' is out of print, but fortunately it is freely available as a download from www.wyrdsmiths.com . Tom talked about the way people have misappropriated the ideas in this book, in a Geomantica interview in issue 7. (Note- This and other choice articles from Geomanticas past
will be reprinted in the updated 'Divining Earth Spirit' book.)
In the Geomantica Pipeline 'Paramagnetism in Sustainable Farming & Gardening' will be covering many of the subjects in the book 'Stone Age Farming'- ie sustainable agriculture, the paramagnetic rock dusts, Irish Round Towers (with footage from Ireland) and modern Towers of Powers, with a workshop segment showing construction, plus interviews with several Towers owners speaking of their experiences with them. Filming is just about complete for this one (having taken some 2 years!) it just needs editing (another learning curve!) Some decent Mac editing software wouldn't go astray! 'Understanding Australian Geomancy Landscapes and People' will look at several Australian landscapes and interview people who have been geomantically connected to them. So far footage has been gathered of the Flinders ranges, plus the volcanic landscapes of northern NSW and SE Queensland, which Alanna which will be talking about; Steven Guth in Canberra has taken the camera on a geomantic tour of part of the main energy axis line running through Canberra and talks about the British tradition mindset that Australia is stuck in. Alanna flew to Alice Springs in early September to film the big corroborree already described, plus geomancer Billy Arnold visiting Dreaming sites; and also Aboriginal cultural teaching at Peppermint Ridge Farm in eastern Victoria, where a registered site of Aboriginal significance is being used again for cultural events. Later in the year it is hoped to get some filming done at Hindmarsh Island. (There certainly are powerful energies on that island. Alanna was told that a filmmaker had got some footage there in the past, only to go home and find all the tapes were blank! She will be checking as she goes!) It is also hoped to get some modern urban geomancers in this film, which could run to some 2.5 hours. 'Diviners in Australia' is a collection of interviews with some great divining identities around Australia, expected to run for some 2 hours. There are a lot of legendary characters out there in the countryside, many of whom are getting elderly. The project is to show them at work and immortalise their dowsing experiences and success stories. It has been such a pleasure to meet these fascinating people and record something of them for posterity, and they get a buzz out of it too! So far on film we have Bill - who explains the commonly used system of opal divining in the remote outback town of Coober Pedy in South Australia where, he told Alanna, 90% of miners use dowsing. Bill's rods are quick to respond to the 'slips' and 'slides' under the Earth's surface below him. Some great footage of the end product too fabulous opal specimens in shops and museums, including the famous Eric, the opalised pleisosoar a marine dinosaur which may not actually be extinct, as Alanna will explain. Ralph ('Silver') Levy of Benalla is another gem on film. A legendary water diviner, Silver's speciality is grave site divining. Teaming up with Leo, the local sexton who manages the cemetary records Silver was able to pinpoint the location of Ned Kelly gang members who died in the siege at Glenrowan, as well as Ned's grandma. The burial locations had been deliberately kept secret, the site of Joe Byrne and Martin Cherry's midnight burial was outside of consecrated ground and it had been immediately ploughed up all around to disguise the disturbance. Thanks to Silver and Leo they now have head stones and Byrne's grave is always having flowers left on it by persons unknown. Sandy Griffin, in Pakenham, Victoria, talks of his dowsing experiences with looking for gold, water in India and leaks in dams. We get to see him divining over his own dam, which had previously leaked before divining pinpointed the problem spot and it was mended. The dam is in a beautiful temperate rainforest gully of huge tree ferns and some gigantic gums. It is envisaged to have another 3 or so diviners in the film, probably looking at other applications, but keeping it fairly down-to-earth, to appeal to a general audience. 'Divining Earth Spirit in Australia' the updated book on geomancy in Australia, compiled by Alanna in 1994 from mostly '80's material, is also in the pipeline, hopefully coming out this summer. It will contain many of the best articles published in Geomantica in recent years. 'Divining Earth Spirit' has been a steady seller direct to the public over the years, but due to the A4 photocopy format it was never popular with bookshops. However the convenience and cost of small print runs makes another photocopy version a likelihood, as paper and printing is not cheap. And it must be paid for long before the bookshops pay up. Unfortunately staying with the photocopy format means the exposure received by being in a bookshop cannot be gained, therefore sales will be much lower. Somehow the money for a proper print job will need to be raised to get the message out to a wider audience
Unity with Nature Network newsletter Jeanette Gow sent me a copy of the second edition of this small photocopied newsletter which contains material from Australia (article by Susannah Brindle is there divine presence in the cockroach? and Denis Hearne indigenous foods/permaculture research in Darwin) and overseas; and in an accompanying letter stated that "Although I'm a Quaker I plan to extend interest and involvement in the Network to any person interested in spiritual ecology, no matter what their religious background. I suspect that this newsletter is the only Australia n publication issued periodically on the subject of spiritual ecology. Friends at present read USA and UK magazines. If you know of any Australian counterparts I'd be interested in hearing about them. As you will gather from the content the network is about the evolution of our spirituality to include all creation and expressing our beliefs through practical work."

We all know that certain radioactive rocks, such as uranium, emit harmful energies, but did you know that there are also certain rocks that emit beneficial energies? That these good energies are now being harnessed by gardeners and farmers to increase their land's productivity? Paramagnetism is a natural subtle force that speeds up biological activity and assists the building of topsoil. The use of paramagnetic rock dust as a cheap and long lasting soil amendment is rapidly gaining popularity. Even the huge construction company Boral has got in on the act, having done extensive research and agronomy trials, and they are now marketing their most energetic rock dusts. Alanna Moore, who has been researching subtle energies for
some 20 years and has written 3 books on related subjects -her
latest offering being 'Stone Age Farming', will be explaining
the benefits of paramagnetism and dowsing at talks and workshops
at various venues around Victoria and Western Australia this
spring and in Tasmania in December. These Towers have been found to increase crop yields and improve the health and wellbeing of plants and animals in their vicinity. A strawberry farmer interviewed by Alanna near Adelaide last year reported a massive 30% increase in yields, subsequent to the placing of a large Tower in his field. Crops not only become more lush, but also more pest resistant and taste sweeter. Alanna's 'Stone Age Farming Workshops',
