Who We Are
And How We Came To Do This

We are Nigel and Maggie Percy. We are unique, being a couple who work together in this field professionally, full-time. We find that the combination of male and female energies gives us a tremendous advantage over individuals working alone.

'This field' is geomancy. More properly, we are professional modern western geomancers, which is explained fully on this page.

How we got to be geomancers is another story. My story starts here, Maggie's is below and 'Our' story is after that.

Nigel’s story

That was when reading about dowsing changed into actually doing it.

I was dowsing over the body of a cat named Sonic, having heard about the aura but knew nothing else.

As I was moving the pendulum over and above Sonic, it changed what it was doing at one point. I thought I was doing something wrong and re-traced my steps. Same thing happened.

That’s when I looked down at Sonic and away from the pendulum and I realized I was directly over her spay scar! That’s when I became a believer!

At that point I knew that there was an invisible world around me and that I had to start exploring it.

I grew more and more interested in dowsing and it took more and more of my attention away from my work as a lecturer in History and Philosophy. I read more books, attended the British Society of Dowsers’ meetings in London and developed my ideas and experimented more and more.

In fact it took up so much of my interest that it effectively stopped me from completing my PhD!

Over the years since then I’ve bought a lot of pendulums and other tools and slowly learned to do without them all. Now I mainly use my eyelids to dowse with. Yes, I know that sounds strange, but it works. I blink for a ‘Yes’ response and I don’t blink for a ‘No’.

In case all this talk of 'dowsing' sounds confusing, you can find out more about dowsing and learn to do it yourself here.

About 10 to 12 years ago, I began to get interested in how different energies made a huge difference in my life; in the way I felt and acted.

That’s when I started going to places like Avebury and Stonehenge and looking at the landscape with new eyes.

I also began to be far more aware of what was happening to me in different locations.

My dowsing increased in intensity and I began making some interesting discoveries about the earth energies and also began to look at ways of altering them to make them more beneficial to me.

As I gained more experience, so I learned that there was more to it than just finding a list of things in an environment. It was also about listening to it, feeling it, letting it ‘talk’ to me about which areas needed attention and what would work.

I pretty soon moved away from the ‘traditional’ fixes, and began to experiment (by this time, with Maggie) with other techniques. Maggie and I also attended other peoples’ courses and learned from their points of view new ways of working.

In other words, my story has been one of slowly becoming more and more involved with dowsing and with the earth.

But it's also more than just that. For example, at the same time I was also aware that I was able to help people with their problems, ailments, ilnesses, fears and phobias and that intrigued me too!

So I began learning better ways of helping people, not just the earth.

Of all the things I've learned, techniques I've studied, I've come to realize that it's about finding out about how many things there are which affect us in so many ways....and then learning to bring them all into balance.

Maggie’s story

My background is heavily steeped in science. I have two degrees in Biology. I was employed at NASA for 14 years, and my research is published in scientific journals and patents.

As the result of a health catastrophe that left me very ill, I decided to research nutrition.

The doctors gave up on me.

Fortunately, I had my schooling to fall back on, so I decided to use my education to restore my health.

From nutrition I was led to the world of herbs and supplements. I also began to use the services of holistic health practitioners like chiropractors, massage therapists and naturopathic doctors.

My healing progressed at a faster rate.

I became totally intrigued with Therapeutic Touch and then Reiki. I became a Reiki Master Teacher.

When attending my Karuna^tmReiki Master Training, I had my first exposure to dowsing.

The teacher showed us how to dowse the human chakras using a pendulum. I bought a pendulum from her and immediately started using it.

I devoured every book and class I could find about dowsing and attended ASD (American Society of Dowsers) meetings regularly. I joined the American Society of Dowsers.

In a few short months, I was accurately using dowsing in my Reiki practice and with family and pets to help resolve health issues. I was hooked for life!

The more I read, the more versatile I found dowsing to be. I learned to do space clearing and even animal communication using dowsing.

I had some wonderful successes that built my confidence in using my intuition through dowsing.

It also changed my paradigm completely, as intuition was able to answer questions and address issues that science was unable to deal with.

My participation in the ASD led me to Nigel, who was a member of an ASD email group I had joined in 2000. Our email correspondence blossomed into romance, and I went to the UK late in 2000 and we married in England in 2001.

It has been a long, circuitous route to where I now am, but I am thrilled with the results.

I am passionate about using my intuition to help people, animals and the planet. For me, Modern Western Geomancy is a perfect outlet for that passion.

Our story

As you've probably guessed, we’re both pretty passionate about using intuition. And about working with the invisible energies around us to harmonize our relationship with the earth and all that lives here.

Since coming back to America in 2001 and starting up our own business (Sixth Sense Consulting, Inc.) we have progressed to the point where we contribute to journals, give presentations about our work, teach workshops and have a growing, satisfied client base.

We are unique! There are no husband and wife teams working in this field as full-time professionals. The combination of male and female energies gives us a great advantage over individuals working alone.

We are lucky in that what one of us might miss or mis-interpret, the other one gets. The balance in our relationship helps us to get great results for our clients.

Another unique aspect is that we like the same things, have had remarkably similar lives in many ways and share the same dreams and aspirations.

As a couple working together, we’re pretty much blessed!

Do You Have Something You Are Passionate About?

The great thing is that we have a passion for what we do. Do you feel you know a lot about something? Or perhaps you just feel drawn to explore one area of life more; steam railways in the first half of last century, perhaps, or desert survival, types of incense or evaluating bottled waters!

The thing is, no matter what you feel drawn to, no matter what your area of expertise, you can turn it into something more! To find out how, then follow this link to the next page.
