Alanna Moore delves into water's mysterious origins and manifestations; its energetic and spiritual aspects; global traditions; as well as water in Australian landscapes, giving a unique holistic understanding about water from a geomancer's perspective, including water divining, historical, esoteric and Indigenous perspectives.
Moore looks at the current issues around the water crisises, and showing that energy guzzling de-salination plants are not necessary, suggests greater diversification in water harvesting, such as seeking sources of 'new water' deep in the Earth, telling how people already find it. The book looks at traditional modes of weather prediction, whereby changes in plant and animal behaviour can herald rain with more accuracy than meteorologists. And it outlines how farm planning and landscape design can be used to store water in the soil, where it belongs, in order to reverse the processes of desertification that are so evident in countries like Australia.
