Dowsing is purported to be a psychic method of finding hidden
things, i.e. water, gold, treasure, etc.
To tell the truth, we had a little trouble when we embarked on the
research for this page, because for every document that touts the wonders of
Dowsing, there is another document that describes controlled studies in which
dowsers basically performed very poorly.
Despite this, Dowsing has been utilized for hundreds of
years, and in Europe it is still considered a valid medium for finding water, etc. As such, we will treat it as a viable
phenomena for the purposes of this page, as it does seem to work in some cases.
The use of Pendulums to answer questions is a variation on
traditional Dowsing methods, and again, this is met with quite a bit of
skepticism as far as the literature is concerned. This use of Dowsing comes very close to the
concept of using Ouija Boards for insight into the unknown, and quite frankly,
it seems to us that a Ouija Board is much better suited for this type of
inquiry. However, we will leave that
decision to the reader, and do our best to describe and report various
techniques and tools used in Dowsing on these pages.
All concerned seem to agree that Dowsing is a learned art
that comes with practice, and that it is probably not a spiritual entity that
causes the rods or pendulums to react in the ways they do. Rather, the results appear to come from
inside the dowser himself, and indeed, some people have the innate ability to
find whatever they are looking for without the use of tools of any kind.
For most of us, however, a tool of some sort is required, and
on the following pages in this section, we will concentrate on how to make or
acquire the proper tools for Dowsing, and how to actually utilize them for the
desired results.
