The SuperSensonic Magnetron

I just acquired a bit of radionic history, a symbolic Magnetron from the 1970s
The Magnetron is a classic psionic pattern device, meant to be used with a
dowsing pendulum. The pendulum is not only for scanning, but can also used
transmit aetheric information to bring about manifestation or to be more
precise, to facilitate the accurate targeting of the manifestation. Properly
speaking, using a Magnetron is radiesthesia, not radionics per se. But
introducing a calibrated symbolic device into the art of dowsing sort of stradd
the line between the two arts. The device is arranged like a compass, with 360
degree marks (in increments of 5 degrees) around a central diagram, a circle
surrounded by eight smaller circles, joined with lines to the center. The bottom
reads, Supersensonic Broadcast and Direction Finder.

Radiesthesia posits, like radionics, that all forms of matter emit a subtle form of emanation which can be detec
and analyzed by human beings under certain conditions. Dowsing is essentially the tech of radiesthesia, bein
the simplest way to allow the human nervous system to accurately respond to aetheric emanations. Using a stic
pad on a radionics machine is essentially dowsing, although with a more complex device than a weight on a str

Dowsing has a long and venerable history, especially in northern Europe and the American midwest. But the
Magnetron symbol goes back to the 1950s and the work of two prominent radiesthesists, the brothers Servanx.

Jean-Louis Felix and Guilaume-Jean Willy Servanx of Brussels, Belgium, published a journal of radiesthesia,
Radiesthsie pour Tous, which was published from 1946 to 1967. While the traditional dowsers were wanderin
about the countryside finding wells for farmers, as they had been doing for a thousand years, the Servanx broth
were exploring medical astrology, energy healing, creating artificial homeopathic medicines, commercial
applications of dowsing and the energy patterns of the Great Pyramid. Their journal was apparently highly
educational, with a lot of practical exercises in dowsing. But it was their personal lifetime work, and did not
survive the passing of Felix Servanx in 1966 and Willy Servanx in 1967.

In the 1950s, they published a series of articles about the Symbolic Magnetron, based on a physical electronic
device of the same name. According to Charles Cosimano in his Elementary Psionics:

The Magnetron was, and is, a device used to propogate microwaves of a certain
series of frequencies. It was invented during the second World War as part of an
aircraft radar system and, in essence, is a large, cylindrical copper block with
holes and vanes cut in it. This shape does something to the microwaves which is
totally mysterious to everyone who does not make a living working with such stuff
and for our purposes totally irrelevant except that it is good to know where some
of these names come from.

The Magnetron symbol was further enhanced by using disc magnets placed in the
outer circles:

From [the Servanx brothers] it passed to the inventive hands of Christopher Hills,
who while a bit of a nut (as most of us in this field tend to be) figured that if he added magnets around the out
circles he could boost the power of the pattern.

Which brings us to the psionic Magnetron I recently acquired. The previous owner stated it was from his 95
year-old late-uncles estate. Its mounted on a solid wood frame with what appears to be decoupage, well done
obviously homemade, so Im fairly certain it was originally sold as just a paper diagram. [Note: apparently not
see Update 3 below.]

Its a product of The University of the Trees Press of Boulder Creek, California, with a copyright date of 1975.
The combination cardinal compass symbol and logo in the upper left corner is tagged Super Sensonics and
found a bit about these sources on Answers.com.

University of the Trees was an organization founded by the aforementioned Christopher Hills, who taught a
variety of New Age subjects including radiesthesia and radionics. The California school was founded in 1973, w
a similar school had been in operation in Hills native England since 1966.

The research (and obviously the marketing) arm of the University of the Trees was the Research Institute for
Supersensonic Healing Energies, which published Hills books and, so it would seem, the Magnetron device tha
now sitting on my desk.

There are instructions pasted on the reverse side of the wooden frame that may have originally been printed on
the same sheet, but were cut out and placed on the back. They read:

Directions: Hold compass at least one foot away from this instrument. Align Magnetron with
North arrow pointing directly to magnetic North. Place the photograph of person to be treated
(with head pointing North) at the center. Place vibration to be broadcast (_____ word witness,
colored light, etc.) on top of the photograph. Check daily with a Hills Positive Green Pendulum to
avoid overdose by asking: has this person received enough of this vibration? Or mentally count
the number of hours of treatment that is needed beforehand until the pendulum spins in a different
direction, telling you that will be enough. To use as a direction finder, place witness of person or
sample of substance sought at the center. Begin with the pendulum oscillation back and forth at the
twelve oclock position. The pendulum will begin moving around the circle to the left or right.
Where it stops turning and continues to oscillate is the plane in whch the person or subject lies.
Pick one of the directions and ask: Is this the direction? When you have found the correct
direction, find out how far away the person or substance is located by asking appropriate yes/no
questions with the pendulum.

The ____ above indicates that the word, whatever it was, had been blanked out with what appears to be whit

https://josephmax.wordpress.com/2010/09/20/the-supersensonic-magnetron/
paint or correction fluid. I can only guess what the word was; perhaps it was a descriptor such as medical or
cure or one of the words that the US Food & Drug Administration and the American Medical Association insi
can only be used by allopathic medicine. Considering the paranoia typical of radionicists in America (and after
way Ruth Drown, Wilhelm Reich and Peter Kelley were treated by the FDA and AMA, its hard to blame them),
word may have been blanked out by the publisher, not the person who owned this device.

Theres no mention of using actual magnets, as described by Uncle Chuckie above, but perhaps that was secret
knowledge that only the elect technicians of the Research Institute for Supersensonic Healing Energies were
allowed to know.

Unless you paid for it, of course.

I will be experimenting with the Magnetron, and Ill try to report on any significant results.

Update: Apparently Christopher Hills is still around and can be found here.

Update 2: Dr. Hills claims to be responsible for the super blue-green algae health food fad, spirulina
pond scum.) Now I know who to blame.

Update 3: An e-mail note from Uncle Chuckie tells me that the wooden frame was part of the original Magnet
as sold by Hills. What you have is the original device from what I can tell. Also, Hills wrote about using
magnets with the Magnetron in his book, Your Electro-Vibratory Body, pp 47-57. Well, you did have to pay for
the book to find this out, since its not mentioned in the enclosed instructions.

Update 4: There are magnets built into the Magnetron! I took out my small neodymium disc magnets
put on the surrounding circles, and as I placed the first one down it *snapped* into place there are magnets
beneath the diagram, embedded inside the wooden frame.

However, as can be seen in the photo I snapped, the embedded magnets are
installed a bit off center. Now that I notice it, so is the diagram itself, relative
the center of the wooden frame. Apparently, the Research Institute for
Supersensonic Healing Energies was not big on manufacturing quality contro

But Im leaving the neodymium magnets on the Magnetron for a while, mayb
few days. They are really powerful little magnets, and theyll have the effect o
re-charging the magnets embedded in the frame.

Interesting write up! It is good to see some more info surfacing on the Servanx brothers. It is interesting to note that they
state to align their psionic patterns to magnetic north, much in the same way one aligns a pyramid.

I believe Cosimano made a reference to not needing the magnets in his magnetron, after he found no difference in an EEG
reading with and without them on the magnetron in one of his psionic helmets.

Ive got a handful of really powerful, small disc magnets I will probably try with the Magnetron. My feeling right now is
that doing scanning without the magnets, but transmitting with the magnets, is the way to go.

As Uncle Chuckie points out in the update above, Hills promoted using magnets. Im just not sure I want to drop $US2
order a copy of the book and its only available as a xerox copy!

The only question I have is the orientation of the magnets. Should they all have the same magnetic pole up? Or altern
every other magnet? (Im leaning toward that.)

Its interesting to remember that as far as the planet Earth goes, if there was a gigantic bar magnet running through th
poles, what we call the south pole would actually be in northern Canada, and the north pole would be in Antarctica
Obviously, because opposites attract, and a north pole of a compass magnet points toward its opposite magnetic pol
(south) which is in the planets north.

Im not sure if the opposites hold true. While it is the case that opposites attract, and it seems logical that by charging a pi
of iron with a north side of a magnet it should be N polarized. I think it is to do with the molecular rearrangement within
Iron which causes it to point towards magnetic north. I guess the way to find out would be by using a sensitive magnetom
against a compass needle?

Heres the point: say you have a bar magnet that is clearly marked N and S. Hold a compass near it. The North en
the compass needle will be attracted to the S pole of the bar magnet. Opposites attract.

https://josephmax.wordpress.com/2010/09/20/the-supersensonic-magnetron/
 So what we call the North Magnetic Pole of the Earth is, in fact, a south magnet, since the north end of a compass
needle points toward it.

And really, which actual direction (as in longitude) a compass needle orients itself to depends on where you are on the
planet. Here in northern California, the lines of the Earths magnetic flux are aligned a full 16 degrees to the east of tru
north.

See the map here.

But what matters in radionics work is the magnetic flux lines, not true cardinal directions. Aetheric emanations trave
with less resistance along magnetic flux lines (viz: Hieronymus) so orienting your device (or antenna) along those flux
lines helps in the propagation of aetheric energy, regardless of the actual direction the target lies from you.

The books were expensive back when I got them in the late 70s and now are exceedingly rare. Quality control was a seriou
issue, not only with the Hills organization but a number of others that were selling instruments at that time.

Im curious about how much the Magnetron sold for when it was new. If anyone knows, please post the information he

In the case of this Magnetrons quality control, it would have been a simple matter of the person whose job it was to glu
down the paper image over the magnets to take a little extra time and effort to make sure the image was aligned proper
It would be easy to make a jig to do this quite simply, if it was a matter of turning them out in volume.

In magical-aetheric devices, I believe that quality matters, at least in the sense of the persons building them giving a d
about doing a good job. That kind of focused intent becomes part of the aura of the tool itself. Sloppy intent makes
sloppy tools, in the metaphysical sense.

Hey Joseph,

Good to come across you again! Were in the Berkanpath forum and have also been in touch outside the forum. I came ac
your post while searching for a magnetron template (experimenting with a laminated magnetron instead of a physical
instrument.

How is the success with Christopher Hills Magnetron so far?

I have most of his books (they were pricey indeed as they went out of print

https://josephmax.wordpress.com/2010/09/20/the-supersensonic-magnetron/
Do you manage to get pg 47-57 of his book? If not, drop me a note with your mail and Ill send it to you.

BTW, are you familiar with Ernie Vegas Magnetron software? I never tried it but heard it works well. Ernie told me its th
pre-cursor to CyberShaman and was designed to be FELT.

Hi Redlotus,

Ill send you my mailing address in a private e-mail.

The Magnetron is quite useful for finding my misplaced car keys!

Ive not seen the Magnetron software something designed to be felt is very interesting!

Very interesting articles then would it be possible to take the image of the magnetron on clear plexi-glass and glue each of
earth rare mags on each circle then placing that board in the upper lid of the Hieronymus Machine and you could then us
compass to face your HM in a Northernly direction before using itthat is what I would like to be built into my device fro
Joe.
