Magnetizers: Pioneers of Dowsing and Biofields Across History

Introduction to Magnetizers

The term “magnetizers” evokes a tapestry of visionaries who mapped the unseen energies of the world, from biofields to earth’s subtle grids. This living mind map, ever-growing, celebrates contributors who advanced our understanding of these forces—scientists, engineers, archaeologists, architects, priests, physicians, musicians, inventors, and naturalists. Spanning countries like Egypt, France, the UK, USA, Russia, Germany, Italy, Austria, and Australia, it highlights dowsers who used pendulums and intuition to unlock nature’s secrets. Welcome to this cornerstone exploration of Delphic Arts, where Clea Delphi shares her decade of dowsing passion. From ancient Egyptians dowsing for ka energies to modern biofield tuners, these pioneers remind us that the invisible shapes our reality. Let’s ramble through their legacies, honoring the map’s call for contributions!

Historical Roots and Development

The history of magnetizers and dowsers stretches to antiquity, with roots in civilizations that revered subtle energies. In Egypt, Cleopatra (69–30 BCE) allegedly employed dowsers to locate resources, echoing ancient practices in the Book of the Dead where ka (life force) was divined. Mustafa Gadalla, a modern Egyptologist and dowser, revived these techniques, linking them to Nile alignments. Khalil Messiha and Fawzi Soleiman Sowhiha continued this, using dowsing for pyramid mysteries.

The Egypt-French Connection

In France, the 20th century flourished with pioneers like M. Leon de Chaumery (1880–1957) and André de Bélizal (1896–?), who developed “ondes de forme” (shape waves) in the 1930s, studying Egyptian temples for biofield emissions. Louis Turenne (1872–1954) refined radiesthesia with precise pendulums, influencing geobiology. Alfred Lambert founded Paris’s dowsing center in 1925, training generations. Ibrahim Karim (b. 1947), architect and BioGeometry founder, inherited Lambert’s library, applying dowsing to modern design. R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz (1887–1961), Egyptologist, used dowsing for temple proportions. Abbé Mermet (1886–1937), a Jesuit priest, dowsed for water globally. Jacques Aymar-Vernay (b. 1662) pioneered criminal dowsing in the 18th century. MPA Morel collaborated on vibratory radiesthesia. Jean de la Foye integrated dowsing into architecture. Guy Thieux (1932–) advanced geobiology lines.

Alex Bouley and Louis Adophe de Gouzillion contributed Jesuit dowsing. Francois Peyre discovered the Peyre grid (22’11.5″ E-W x 21’4″ N-S). Michel Moine (1920–2005) researched parapsychology. René Guénon (1886–1951), metaphysician, influenced Sufi dowsing.

The Egypt English Connection

The UK boasts luminaries like E.A. Wallis Budge (1857–1934), Egyptologist who dowsed artifacts. Noel MacBeth passed dowsing libraries to Christopher Hills. Howard Carter (1874–1939) used dowsing for Tutankhamun’s tomb. George de la Warr (1904–1969) invented radionics devices. Thomas Charles Lethbridge (1901–1971) dowsed ancient sites. Sir Isaac Newton (1643–1727) dabbled in dowsing for ether. Robert Boyle (1627–1691) experimented with divining rods.

David Cowan authored dowsing books. Alan Hall pioneered biodynamic fields. Alfred Watkins (1855–1935) discovered ley lines via dowsing. Aubrey T. Westlake (1893–1985) applied dowsing to medicine. Herbert & Michael Weaver wrote on dowsing. Theodore Besterman (1904–1976) researched psychical dowsing. Christopher Bird (d. 1996) authored The Divining Hand. Leicester Gataker (1874–1942) divined water professionally.

Other Notables

Uri Geller (b. 1946) popularized psychic dowsing. J. Cecil Maby (1902–1971) studied biophysics of dowsing. James Scott-Elliot (1902–1996) dowsed ancient sites. Ralph Whitlock (1914–1995) dowsed for conservation. J. Havelock Fidler authored dowsing guides. Hampshire Miller wrote on dowsing. Dennis Wheatley (1897–2006) dowsed for treasures. Maria Wheatley, his legatee, continues geobiology.

Russia’s Enel (Prince Michael Skariatine, 1883–1963) dowsed esoteric energies in Cairo and France. Georges Lakhovsky (1869–1942) invented radionics devices.

Poland’s Kazimir Stabrovsky (1869–1929) blended art and esoterica with dowsing.

Italy’s Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) dabbled in dowsing for inventions. Alessandro Volta (1745–1827) experimented with electricity, akin to biofields.

Austria’s Viktor Schauberger (1885–1958) dowsed vortex energies in nature.

Australia’s Larry Marshall (b. 1963), CSIRO chief, supported dowsing research.

These pioneers form a global legacy, with dowsers like Turenne and Schauberger stressing practical applications.

Core Principles of Magnetizers and Dowsing

Magnetizers follow core principles. First, they detect subtle energies through tools like pendulums. Dowsing, or radiesthesia, maps biofields and grids. Second, it relies on intuition and calibration. For example, Turenne’s pendulum tunes to frequencies through calibration. Third, biofields are layered auras, interpenetrating the physical. Imbalances disrupt health; harmony restores it. Additionally, dowsers stress ethical use, as in Wheatley’s treasure hunts. These principles unite science and spirit.

Canonical Components and Texts

Magnetizers’ canon spans texts. Turenne’s La Radiesthésie (1930s) details calibration. Bélizal’s Radiesthésie et Ondes Nocives (1950s) explores shape waves. Reich’s Character Analysis (1933) maps orgone fields. Steiner’s Theosophy (1904) describes etheric bodies. Watkins’s The Old Straight Track (1925) charts ley lines. These works guide dowsing practices.

Modern Applications and Global Influence

Magnetizers’ work influences modern fields. Dowsing aids archaeology, as in Carter’s tomb finds. Biofield tuning, by McKusick, heals with sound. Schauberger’s vortex tech inspires renewable energy. Globally, Karim’s BioGeometry designs harmonious spaces. Therefore, their legacy thrives.
