Which Witch is Wych + Feng Shui + Dowsing

 Place No Judgement

My choice of Career as a Feng Shui Consultant is forever a delight of joy and pontification. I say choice as if stepping into the roles was a decision made from my head a logical progressive movement into a direction of query and misunderstanding. So for the record I’d like to lay the cards on the table so to speak. Not Tarot cards, or Angel Oracle cards, or even playing cards for that matter, although I have been known to employee the services of such mediums in my time. Of which I might add the experiences and insights have been both insightful and intriguing to say the least. But I digress.

Why would anyone choose a career that inspired controversy and confusion? When at dinner parties or networking functions you find yourself faced with a mix of curious questions and obvious avoidance from those who make the sign of the cross and back out of the room. Although recently, when leaving a rather masculine establishment after purchasing some copper rods that I use in my Dowsing Consultations, I will explain dowsing later. While leaving, I’m asked, “Are you an artist?” “No”, I reply. “I’m a Dowser.” This statement I ponder as I make my way to my vehicle, logoed with my Zen Solutions Feng Shui Brand. Nothing like stepping out there!

In my pontification, curious as to why I choose this description, my first response is always, “I’m a Feng Shui Consultant.” I’m used to the reactions I receive from my declaration of Feng Shui Consultant. My Dowser response created an entirely, very intriguing 30 minute conversation with a kindly gentleman who on the heels of my Peace, Love and Goovienss Cowboy boots followed me out to my car, asking me, “Are you a Witch?”

Well, you know. I‘ve been called many a thing, in my 47 years, some of which started with a B as my name is Bridget and ended in itch. And yes that did not work out, the ex as in ex-husband, not hex as in curse. Although some could bicker about some super magical powers I have as I rode my broomstick out west. You all have read my first Discovering She Article My Feng Shui Life to know that the Plymouth Voyager I drove out here is a bit more of a ride than the red Vileda Broom I use to clean my floors. Although red is my favourite colour. Yes, the ex would ask me where I last landed with the broom, I can assure you that if I had been riding one he would indeed know where I put it.

My current husband chuckles as I roam our property with dowsing rods in hand. “That’s my Girl”, he says fondly kisses my cheek and organizes the tools of my trade. Yes we are a match made in heaven.

So here I am faced with this charming man who tailed me out to my car, my dear sweet friend of whom I had a lunch date is sitting in the front seat waiting, witnessing this encounter. “I prefer not to go by Wytch.” I chuckle. The business card I hand him has my lucky red rising sun logo and bamboo burst on it. I’m thinking I could change it to look like the Bewitched logo, me sitting side saddle with my winged cowboy boots. The tagline reading “Witch for Hire.” Don’t be stealing this, I may use this yet. I can see his slight discomfort but I’m a little humoured by this interaction.

“Diviner”, he clarifies, thinking he’s insulted me; I don’t let him off the hook. I’m having fun with this. Mmmmm, another image surfaces this one my halo’s sitting a little crooked and my wings are a dishevelled. I think of the movie Michael with John Travolta and how he loved to dance. I begin to think I could really rock these boots.

What begins is the potential for a fabulous working relationship of Wyching. “Wyching” means pliable. It is an old term used for dowsing for water, in which the Diviner would use a pliable tool such as a willow branch to find water before digging a well. It is an old art; historically employed and empowered by men. And we all know what happened to the woman of that era. Hence the reason I shiver at the title witch, cellular memory to be sure.

In addition to being a Feng Shui Consultant I am a Certified Dowser. What that means is that I am trained to dowse/seek find and diffuse, harmful energetic disturbances such as Geopathic Stress caused by underlying water currents, natural and man-made, as well as various soil combinations. Water spirals and depending on the speed and direction of the spiral can cause electromagnetic disturbances in a dwelling that can over time create an unstable environment. Often these lines can be visually identified by cracks in concrete, floors and foundations and although they are thought to cause various health concerns to humans, cats, ants, mosquitoes and wasps love them.

Interference lines are created by cell phones, satellite dishes. Ley Lines are earth disturbances, natural occurring and or man-made trauma. So now you’re beginning to think I’m a little weird, let me explain it to you this way. Science has proven that the earth is made of a grid system of electromagnetic fields, and that water is a conductor. Birds, bees, butterflies migrate and are in tune to these grid patterns. The cosmos effect our weather conditions and the earth responds in like to the cosmic forces of sun, moon, and stars. As does our moods and menstrual cycles. No it is not the reason men fantasize of strangle us during that time of the month. There is no disputing that the earth and all its inhabitants are made of a composite of minerals and water, again back to earth.

So the earth has its own meridian system, and then we humans start randomly sticking huge acupuncture needles in it, with our infrastructure or in-deuced-fractures and expect the natural order of life to continue. Surprise….Shifts happen. When a Hartman Line and Curry Lines intersect with a manmade electrical transmission the shock is silent and sometimes deadly.

I ask you to pay attention to areas of your home that feel draining or that you avoid like the plague. If you have a child who sleeps curled up at the foot of their bed or migrates with their blanket to another corner of the house most likely your bedroom, do a little investigating. Try removing yourself from the situation and if the symptoms ease it’s a sure sign that you are being affected by environmental influences and that it may be time to have your dwelling dowsed.

I promise I will leave my broom at home.
