"Spiralling nature of earth energy? Do dragons spiral? Chinese dragons perhaps but I believe European dragons usually looked more like lizards.
Earlier stories emphasised their worm-like nature. Indeed the word "worm" comes from the Old English for dragon.
Also, why do you say that "earth energy spirals"? What is Earth Energy? Where is an example of this energy that one can witness?
Dowsers have picked up its spiral nature, just below the surface.

Old English doesn't go that far back. It's very conceivable that someone who spoke old English could have come across folklore influence from China.
The word goes back into proto-Indo-European, related to vermin, which comes from Latin.
Apparently proto-indo-european originated in the east according to some experts.

I'm still not sure what you are trying to prove here.

Apparently studies haven't proven that dowsing rods even work, let alone that they somehow demonstrate that "earth energy" goes in a "spiral."

Nowhere near as far as China.

All I'm suggesting is that a dragon, for example, is inspired by something other than literary invention.

I've even tried them myself, and they do work.

I held the dowsing rods in my hands and walked forwards. When I crossed a spot with an underground stream they twisted. I had no idea the stream was there, and (being blind) had no visual clues either.

How many times has that happened? Was this part of a demonstration being conducted by someone who claimed to be knowledgable about dowsing?

Then how do you know it "spirals"?

It was conducted by someone who knew where the stream was. I have no reason to believe they were an expert.

I've read a lot of reports from dowsers.
