There are obviously places in the world, that have a special energy. Many people visit places like Stonehenge or the pyramids, and would like to know how they would influence perception, mystical experiences and dreaming. There are many anecdotal stories about how individuals experience such places, tales of transformation and insights happening there. However there is no esoteric classification of sacred sites beyond the numbers of visitors or such mundane statistics. On the internet there are some rankings, where people voted for the it, but this has little comparative value, unless it is done on a truly grand scale.
The question is whether a ranking can be made, using divination or other esoteric ways to gauge the qualities of the various holy places. I believe there is, by dowsing in a structured way and comparing and classifying the result, there overcoming the obvious objection that dowsing data are subjective. They are, but they are reproducible within a small margin, as such are true measuremts, albeit of esoteric or extradimensional qualities, that only have an indirect effect in our physical reality.
Now for the
quality of water and places there is a standard methodology and scale, called Bovis Scale, established by controlled dowsing, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovis_scale . The Bovis
scale is named after French radiesthesist A. Bovis
(1871–1947), it is a concept used by dowsers and adherents of geomancy to quantify the strength of a postulated
"cosmo-telluric energy" inherent in a
location.
This method can be applied to other things, I used it to analyse rituals, like fires in a ritual context (www.lucsala.nl/fire.htm) but it can be easily applied to sacred sites. Of course the personal experience there can differ; time of the year, celestial condition, gender, age etc. will yield a range of values, but just to illustrate that it can be done, see some data below, these are very general and to make a serious ranking system, many more ). I think this approach would be helpful in doing research about these places, also a Bovis scale result could be found for the water in those places.
I found a general sacredness value
(subjective, might not exactly align with the Bovis
scale used by others) at the main power spots as follows.
Sedona 150.000
Avesbury 300.000
Mt Tamalpais
130.000
Mt Shasta 130.000
Mt Fuji 140.000
Glastonbury Cathedal
high Altar 110.000
Machu Pichu
260.000
Palenque Pacal
Votan Shrine 110.000
Gizeh Pyramid 350.000
Mekka Kaaba
90.000
This could of course be separated
in geomantic (leylines etc.), human holy, nature
diversity, healing effect, dream influence etc. aspects. In fact this method, which yields
repeatable results, could be applied in a lot more studies about art, minerals,
art, and many esoteric subjects.

* Anton (or Andre in some references) Bovis, a French archaeologist-physicist, while doing researchregarding the pyramids noticed that there appeared to exist an energyphenomena that would be useful. He called it a lifeforce scale. Thisscale measured the lifeforce in various items such as food or water.The following describes the basics of the Bovis Scale:“The Bovis Scale, developed by a French physicist, quantifies ormeasures how positively or negatively charged a substance is. Forliving organisms, the key reference point on the scale is found at6,500 Bovis Energy Units. From 0 to 6,500, the charge is in theNEGATIVE range, or life-detracting, while above the 6,500 point theenergy gradually becomes more POSITIVE, or life-enhancing.The desired minimal energy level for humans is found between 8,000 to10,000 Bovis Energy Units, or slightly positive. The Earth itselfcreates energy in the 7,000 to 18,000 range. This energy is alsoreferred to as "Biophotons", which are light particles invisible toour eyes. This positive radiation is necessary to the maintenance oflife on Earth.”Ewater.comhttp://www.ewater.com/energy/info/bovis.htm
A value of 6500 on the Bovis scale is considered neutral. There is a link between a measured value on the Bovis Scale and the
direction of the spin of atoms. It is further described by thefollowing:“Scientific research has correlated the clockwise or right spin ifatoms and molecules with a Bovis reading below 6,500 (i.e.life-depleting). Besides mismanagement of the environment,readings below 6,500 are the effect of underground streams, geologicalfaults, and Earth's magnetic grids. A counter clockwise or left spincorrelates with a reading above 6,500 (i.e. life-enhancing). Severalof Earth's energy vortices exceed 2,000,000 Bovis.”Beyond100.comhttp://www.beyond100.com/Bovis%20scale.htm
