Hulcott

In the book The Sun and the Serpent, it mentions that the MM line runs through the tiny church in the tiny hamlet of Hulcott so we thought we would take a look.

The weather wasn’t so good; it was spitting and showery, overcast and cloudy. But that didn’t matter as All Saints, Hulcott is set in a very picturesque setting on the village green. In fact, it is one of the prettiest churches we have seen in our dowsing travels.

We found a very wide, strong, leyline, running east to west, which ran the complete width of the church. Rather interestingly, when we dowsed against the colour chart, I picked up yellow (Mary) and Jackie red (Michael). Whatever the reason for this, and we rarely differ on our findings, it confirms that this church is definitely part of the MM line

Edlesborough

On the same beautiful spring day as we visited Billington church (see blog post dated 17th May 2010) we also went to St Mary the Virgin Church at Edlesborough. It is a beautiful church, set up high on a hill and with yet another panoramic view over Dunstable Downs and Ivinghoe Beacon.

As we looked out over Ivinghoe Beacon we could see an old footpath going straight from the side of the church to the top of the Beacon, but the authorities have built a electricity pylon right on this path. (See 1st pic above) This raises the question – does this lower the energies on the leyline and did someone “in the know” do this deliberately? Anyone who has read the book “PowerPoints” by Robin Heath might be suspicious! Whatever the reason, it really spoils the view, unfortunately.

Back to the dowsing. We found 2 leylines, one going east to west, which is the normal one we find in a church and the other South West to North East and is direct line with the Beacon. The latter resonated mostly yellow, on our colour chart, with a lot of blue and Jackie also picked up a bit of red. Yellow and red being MM line and blue is our local leyline which we found at Grove and Billington. So these places are all connected.

We also found a narrow leyline going down the side of the church, which resonated gray on our colour chart and is particular to that church but has no bearing on our research, but is still of interest if you wanted to dowse there yourselves.

Standing in the grounds looking towards Billington which we had visited earlier in the day, it is interesting to note that Leighton Buzzard’s spire is right behind it although hidden. This is extremely interesting because this means that you could draw a straight line through all 3 churches. Fascinating.

A couple of observations: Although we found 2 main leylines here the energies at this church are nowhere near as strong as at Billington and the lines were stranded today. Perhaps, as it was a really warm day, the lines metaphorically took off their winter coats and spread themselves out to sunbathe in the warmth! Perhaps when it is cold, the strands huddle together to keep warm! A whimsical thought, but we feel it needs more research all the same. We intend to keep a weather/stranding note in future.

Billington

It was a lovely sunny day when we arrived at St. Michaels Church, Billington. Please see pics at top of post We first of all stopped to look at the stunning view by the gate overlooking the valley and towards Grove.

Please see the movie above to get an idea of what it looked like.

In the far distance you can make out the spire of

All Saints Church in Leighton Buzzard

and the

lock-keepers cottage at Grove.

We moved into the churchyard and started to dowse by the east-west end of the church looking towards Grove, where we picked up a leyline, which was stranded at the edges, but the main bulk of it was the exact width of the church. We dowsed the line to the colour chart independently of each other and we both found the line resonated to blue and yellow. We were really pleased because that meant it was definitely connected to the ‘blue’ leyline we had found at Grove (please see blog dated May 1st 2010) – and also proving they were both part of the Mary (MM) line. This leyline also physically pointed towards Grove.

We moved to the main church door overlooking Dunstable Downs and our rods pointed exactly straight to Ivinghoe Beacon which is the main Michael Mary line.

Our conclusions: Billington Church is connected directly to Ivinghoe and Grove. So, we have a local leyline which resonates to blue and we think it is a tributary coming off the MM line (yellow) and paying us a visit from Ivinghoe Beacon.

2nd Visit to Grove

On Monday 19 April we once again set out to dowse the area around Grove. Although it was slightly hazy from the Icelandic Volcano ash cloud, the sun was getting through and we felt warm as we walked along the canal path. We climbed over the stile and went across the field, full of sheep with their lambs and it really felt like spring at last!

We crossed the footbridge and were soon on the site of the old monastery fish ponds. We had been here before (please see entry 1st July 2008 for the details). We both felt our chests tighten as the energies of the area flowed around us. We dowsed for ley lines and picked up three but only two were important. We were interested in finding out if we were near a node point. Unfortunately, because this field is enclosed with fencing and barbed wire, we were unable to follow the main leyline directly, instead, guided by our rods, followed a marked path across the field, over another very small bridge, continued along the path about 200yds and came out by the quarry.

Last year this ground had been churned up by the heavy plant vehicles and was very muddy but today it was now dry and covered with the seedy heads of coltsfoot and other ground plants and a Skylark was singing above us, and, to make it perfect, ahead of us was our beautiful old Oak tree. It was lovely to see it again and we were very pleased when we discovered that Jackie’s crystal offering that we had made last year was still there. Although old and many branches now dead there were still signs of this year's new growth.

The energies in this area are, literally, breathtaking. Reading the history of Grove (Jackie’s specialist subject!) this area was well known for its meeting point of several ley lines. These 'node' points hold the energies of all the crossing ley lines. Sian did a “helicopter” dowsing and the rods pointed to Ivinghoe Beacon, Billington Church, St Michael’s Church Grove and All Saints’ Church. We again picked up our two major ley lines. One ran across from All Saints to Ivinghoe Beacon and resonated to the colour Yellow; the other ran from Billington Church to St Michaels Church at Grove and resonated to blue. The latter possibly went on to the tree circle (See our entry dated 5th Nov 2008). Jackie was rather disappointed to find that the All Saints to Ivinghoe Beacon resonated to yellow as this signified it was part of the Mary Line as she felt this was part of the St Michael Line, as this has resonated to Red in the past. (But do the ley lines resonant with different colours on different days depending on weather, strength of the energy etc. Something we may need to check each time we go dowsing.) We felt this meeting point (node point might have been very near the site of the old hamlet of Grovebury and Grovebury Priory.

Sian took a panoramic photo from where we stood.She started facing the magnificent spire of All Saints, in Leighton. She moved around across thenew buildings of the housing estates and up to Billington, where we could see St Michaels Church on the top of the hill. Then on to see the outline of the Downs in the distance, on to the Beacon, with the tower of St Mary's Church at Edlesborough in the fore ground. Then round to St Michael's church Grove and in the distance Wing Hill, then back to All Saints. The hills surrounded us and we were standing in the flat valley bottom that covers several miles. The ancient energies of Ivinghoe Beacon seem to sweep down and wash the whole area. What a special area this is, and we wondered what the magnificent oak tree had seen over the years. Perhaps Nuns and monks had sat under its branches.

We plan to visit Billington, Edlesborough, Ivinghoe, Stanbridge, Tilsworth and Eggington churches to see if the blue leyline and also the other we picked up flow through them and confirm what we had found today. We were now starting to feel hungry and decided to go back for lunch. This however was delayed as Sian, AGAIN, lost her rods (again please see entry for 5th November 2008). Rather wearily, we made our way back to the oak tree, and Jackie's rods once again came to the rescue and found Sian’s rods on the ground. I do wish she would look after her things!! Sian here – I’m soo sorry Jackie – What a complete idiot I am. But at least it shows how utterly brilliant you are finding lost things with your dowsers. Is that enough grovelling?!!!
