Dowsing

I would like to learn how this is done too.

Bumping to learn more.

I would love to learn more too! I am not sure if everyone can do this, it didn't work for me :(.
The dowser used a forked wicker twig and was holding the two ends in his hands, the middle bit pointing upright.
When he came across a water vein the upright end would strongly pull down. It worked the same for me son, he said the pull downward was really strong, he even tried to hold against it.

I am very aware of my body and how it feels given a certain stimulus. It feels quite different when something is positive versus negative.

I pick up emotion from other people easily or "feel" things about certain areas, places or "events". But I have never tried to feel things to dowse for. I just know that the dowsing the way it was done today don't seem to work for me.

I found this article here:

It seems that not every type of wood works for everyone who can dowse?

I'm gonna try with some copper tube bent into an L shape.

I am out in the country and there are two wells on the property.

But there is an underground river in my location, so digging a well is never an issue.

Still worth some testing.

Its surely worth it! I have read that the L shaped version people use to get directions where to go if the visualize the thing they are looking for. I like the Y shape wooden version, even if it doesn't work for me
Oh the irony! There I am, "knowing" dowsing does work and I am not able to get the fork to twitch. An then my son, the great doubter, has the "natural" gift. It surely set him thinking that there is more than scientific documented things. I am happy for him that he can widen his horizon now :)

My greatgrand father was a water witch. He used a peach branch. He was called on by people from miles around to find well sites. I have a few cousins that can do this and they also use branches. However My mate can also do this and he uses two metal wires. He can dowes for more than water. He and several of his cousins that can also do this used to work for a company that put in fiber-optic cable. He can find power lines, gas lines, sewer lines, water and water lines and a few other things. I ask him how he does it and he tells me he does not know , he just does it. He is not a very talkative man. But all growing up I thought one could only dows water, until I saw my mate find all kinds of stuff.

I didnt find yet how to distinguish what the finding is. I did read that it could depend on where you hold the fork, nearer to the end or more up to the tip of the Y.

My mate would be no help he tells me he just "knows". It can't get him to articulate an explanation.

Dowsing usually is easier with two L shape rods.
