Nigel Twinn – The Linear Landscape

This talk, The Linear Landscape, arose out of exasperation with so many dowsers, even quite experienced practitioners, referring to similar features by different names – and using the same name for radically different types of flow.

Nigel shares with Billy Gawn and Grahame Gardner a desire to find a common appreciation for, amongst other elements of the craft, long straight lines in the landscape.  He comments ‘We may all sense these phenomena differently, but at the very least we need to know what one another are trying to describe!’

Nigel Twinn entered the world of dowsing as a Ley Hunter and earth energies researcher.  Three decades later, he still retains that interest, although his work has taken him in more philosophical direction.  He was a Trustee of the British Society of dowsers between 2010 and 2013, and was given the BSD’s Bell Award for dowsing literature in 2008 and 2016.  He has written six books, mainly about significant modern dowsers.  He fronted up the Tamar Dowsers between 2002 and 2024 – and is also a member of the Devon Dowsers.
