A Brief History of our Society

The Society was originally founded in 1958 as the Irish Divining Research Association. However, due to the deaths of three of the leading members in 1965, it became dormant for a period, reviving again in May 1976 due to the efforts of Mrs B Dawson and Mr J.A. McIvor. It was at this point that the name was changed to our present title, The Irish Society of Diviners. For the next thirty years Mrs Gay Hackett played a leading role in directing the Society, until 23 June 2009, when sadly, she passed away with the summer solstice. 

The society has been guided by Moya Henderson since 2003. 

Meetings are open to members as well as non-members. Because we are not a profit making organisation a small donation is charged for the cost of renting a room for gatherings etc. 

Membership is open to all those genuinely interested in divining/dowsing and related fields. If you have an open mind you will learn a lot. Meetings are informal, usually ending with some divining practice, discussions and a cup of tea.
