“Synchronicity is the currency of the magical.”
Welcome to Along a Different Path! I wrote those words while taking a quiet walk in the woods. They sprang at me from behind a tree and I’ve latched on to them ever since. I’ve included them because they are a cornerstone of what you’ll be reading here. I’ve been looking into paranormal and psychic phenomena for well over 20 years. I’ve done readings for people, created my own oracle, do ghost hunts, and want to eventually take in a hunt for bigfoot. Yes, I love this stuff! A few years ago I came to the conclusion that there are two things I could do for the rest of my life and never get tired of it. One was to be a wildlife photographer and naturalist. The second was to explore paranormal events and stories.
Be aware, I do temper that love with a bit of a skeptical mind. Some would say that holds back my abilities. However, I’m very aware that this world holds A LOT of amazing things without it being paranormal. However, as I wrote in my initial post here, “I have found that time after time the volume of personal experiences and coincidences simply became far to large to ignore.”
My initial work here will focus on oracles, earth energy, the Fey, spiritual energy and dowsing. That alone, I am sure, will have me branching into ghosts, psychic phenomena and maybe even UFOs and Bigfoot. One never knows, when they step onto the path, where it might take them!
There are times when I feel that with my particular interests, I’m a bit of a voice out in the wilderness. I love discussion on these subjects and if you’re feeling chatty feel free to comment on the posts.
If you would like to consult me for a reading or assistance in energy or dowsing work you can contact me at alongadifferentpath@gmail.com or you can also DM me at my Twitter feed : @Different_Path
I hope you enjoy walking along with me for a bit.
Light and Strength,

Hi Bryan, i enjoyed reading the info and the stories you write about.
This is the first time i have visited your web site………it’s great.
i was fasinated by your description of map dowsing, and a thought occured to me……would you be interested in a way or method of map dowsing “earth energies” and others, in a way that i have developed (it came to me)?……and i don’t know of anyone else doing it the same way.
it can be very informative and intricate, or as simple as you make it.
i only wish to share with you….i’m not after anything!
i can send you a demonstration (real) earth energy and i’m sure you’ll figure out the rest.
i am in Perth, Western Australia, and have a fair bit of experience with natural energies as i have spent most of my time in the bush.
Kind regards
Geoff

Geoff,
My deepest apologies for taking so long to respond to you! I guess you could say this blog got tucked in the back corner and placed under some academic books. I’ve dusted it off now and am back to it!
I’d love to take a look at what you are doing with earth energies. Who knows, it might unknowingly map on to things that I’ve started to do from simple intuition and spiritual guidance? How cool would that be? So, yes, I’d love to hear more.

Hi Bryan, nice to hear from you. i can’t see how to send you a map so i will do my best to decribe map dowsing the way it has come to me!
choose any site of interest and depending on the map, it may be best to transfer just enough info onto a blank sheet of A3 or A4 paper. use a very small pendulum ie modified notice board pin with about 6 or 8 inches of cotton thread attached. Move the pendulum close to the paper, about 1/2 inch above and with a pencil, mark the first spot that the pendulum is attracted too. do not allow the pendulum to swing around or indicate yes or no ! just mark the spot with a very small cross about match head size. you will find (depending on the cross size and the intensity of the area) that there are hundreds or thousands of spots just waiting to be marked in. keep allowing the pendulum to work in the same area and very soon a pattern will form. all of the attractions form into “lines” and very intricate patterns. some of these energy centres (earth chakras?) cover many square miles and then some are very small indeed. a lot of the old pagan sites were built on these sites..many of which the churchs now stand on.
there are earth energies, fault lines, geological formations, water, energy lines etc etc. For water and some energy lines allow the pendulum to swing rather than marking the individual cross,…..draw a line instead. this is useful for energies which have an effect on our home, health garden etc. all of these energies can be dowsed to give all of the other info which can be useful ie depth, quantity, negative positive etc.
most of the (subterranean) earth is covered in these energies which seems to have formed during the development of the crust of the earth and appears to permeate upwards. of course there are also many which are above the surface too….they can be dowsed the same as the water lines!
well Bryan, i hope you find this of interest and it may be of some use to you. i can tell you it is a lot easier to map dowse this way than using rods. rods are great in the field to physically find the energies on site.
best wishes and all the best in your journey!!
Geoff
