	Dowsing - Crystalinks
		Map dowsers use a dowsing device, usually a pendulum, over maps to locate oil, minerals, persons, water, etc. However, the prototype of a dowser is the field dowser who walks around an area using a forked stick to locate underground water.
		Dowsing is a searching tool that has been used for thousands of years by those who have tried, with the help of a Y shaped rod, to locate underground water, ore bodies, oil and other important resources.
		Dowsing, also called divining or water witching, is a generic term for practices which proponents claim empower them to find water, metals, gem stones and hidden objects, usually by fluctuations of some apparatus (typically a Y-shaped twig, rod, rods, or pendulum) over a piece of land or a map.

	Dowsing Rods
		Dowsing is used all over the world, by all types of people for many different reasons.
		As with a pendulum, dowsing rods can also be used to answer yes or no questions, but test to make sure which is which.
		The rods may point towards it as you walk past, indicating that you should change direction and walk in the direction the rods are pointing.

	Dowsing Rods and Divination - The Tool of a Geomancer
		Dowsing or divining utilising a pendulum or a rod has been used for centuries to find objects, best sites of land, water, opals and gems, dowsing the human aura and obtaining answers to questions.
		Rod divining involves a great deal of walking, as the rod will only spin when you are over what it is you are searching after guiding you to the site.
		We have many powerful sites in Australia and perhaps your task, dowsing rods and map in hand could be to open your mind to finding these places and developing your own communion with heaven and earth, your own deeper learning and allow the mysteries in your mind and heart to begin to unravel.

		Grave dowsing cannot give us the name of the person buried in any un-marked grave, but it can identify the locations of unmarked graves within a cemetery or lot and also provide some clues to their gender and age.
		Dowsing is an age-old art that has been used for centuries to locate water, graves and etc. I first learned about grave dowsing from a fellow volunteer, Marian Schlicher, at the Cass County Historical Society while working on "The Cemetery Project".
		Water dowsing is done much the same way as your basic grave dowsing, however I have found a slight difference in the reaction of the rods when finding a large body of underground water.

	Neilos - Centre for Implosion Research Product Information - Cuninghame Dowsing Rods
		Traditionally known as 'Wishing Rods', the rods are formed into an L shape and are usually made of copper although the oldest known material was wood, usually forked Hazel branches along with Apple, Beech and Alder.
		Dowsing, scientifically known as radioesthesia, is the interaction of the mind of the dowser and the energy of the object of interest.
		The method of holding the rods and focusing on the question is the same except that when the object is located, or the answer tot he question is correct, then the rods cross.

	dowsing (a.k.a. water witching)
		The rods cross when above water.) Various theories have been given as to what causes the rods to move: electromagnetic or other subtle geological forces, suggestion from others or from geophysical observations, ESP and other paranormal explanations, etc. Most skeptics accept the explanation of William Carpenter (1852).
		Despite this sage advice, dowsers continue to dowse, claiming that they have a special power and that what they are dowsing for emanates energy, rays, radiations, vibrations, and the like.
		The fact that this pattern of dowsing and finding something occurs repeatedly leads many dowsers and their advocates to make the causal connection between dowsing and finding water, oil, minerals, golf balls, etc. This type of fallacious reasoning is known as post hoc reasoning and is a very common basis for belief in paranormal powers.

		Dowsing is widely used as a simple, but effective, way of searching for anything from lost coins, water, and geophysical surveys to finding ghosts.
		After trying a different set of rods and you are still not getting correct answers, it might be wise not to use the rods for a few days, until whatever universal energy that is affecting your rods has passed.
		The proper way to hold the dowsing rods is to take the L-shape rod and with the shorter end hold them lightly in your hands with your thumb bent down across the fingers.

	Dowsing - Science or Humbug?
		A dowsing rod is traditionally a forked stick which is held firmly in one's hands in a way that allows the rod to swing up or down at the slightest impulse, supposedly indicating the presence of the sought-after material.
		Dowsing rods are said to be efficient tools in detecting auras, the imagined multi-layered energy field surrounding every living creature.
		The rods are believed to deflect when encountering an energy field, be it the human aura, the biomagnetic field of a plant, E-rays from cracks in the ground, or any other hypothetical field not measurable by common means.

	MAG - Dowsing - L-Rods
		L rods are amongst the favourite tools of the dowser and are typically used for dowsing searches that are concerned with locating linear features such as water veins, energy lines or archaeological features, and are helpful when covering any distance out of doors.
		They are so-named because of the shape of the rod, having typically a hand-held section of rod six to eight inches in length bent at a right-angle to a section of ten to eighteen inches which is held away from the body at or near the horizontal.
		The search position for your L rods is achieved by holding them one in each hand, slightly out from the body with the hands a comfortable shoulder-width apart and the rods in parallel pointing away from the body at or near the horizontal.

	Library, The Matter of Dowsing
		Dowsing is as strictly defined the claimed ability to discover underground sources of water or metals by means of a "dowsing rod." Another term used is "divining." However, this terminology and its scope have been expanded and is now used with a far greater range of meanings.
		Currently, several “scientific” versions of dowsing rods which purportedly contain actual electronic circuitry, are being sold to government agencies in the USA for very high prices, as much as $14,000.
		As a result of some imagined or real hint from nature water dowsers are often familiar with the topological or geographical signs or conditions that indicate the probability of water in any given spot the operator unconsciously tilts or impels the device, and believes that it is indicating the presence of the sought-after material.

	DOWSING -looking at scientific evidence
		In Germany, where water dowsing apparently originated sometime in the sixteenth century, a divining rod-- the tool of the trade-- is called a "Wunschelrute" (literally a "wishing rod"), a term which seems to imply a similarly skeptical attitude.
		In view of that widespread cultural acceptance (or at least toler ance) of water dowsing in Germany, it should not be surprising that in 1986 the BMFT (Bundesministerium fur Forschung und Technologie) provided DM 400,000 to several established scientists for an experimental investigation of the phenomenon.
		The objective of their study was to determine whether careful scientific research on water dowsing could lead to convincing evidence for or against the existence of real, reproducible effects: an experimental examination of whether dowsers really can somehow detect water with a success rate greater than can be accounted for by chance alone.

	Dowsing: A Review of Experimental Research by George P. Hansen
		Dowsing is a term commonly used to denote the practice of locating underground water with a forked stick; however, in practice its use is really not so restricted.
		Dowsing is also used to determine answers to other questions such as the sex of an unborn child, and the location of pipes, or for foretelling the future.
		The loop-shaped dowsing rod was placed in insulated grips, and a special circuit was established which included part of the dowsing rod (Tromp conducted several experiments to ensure that the circuit did not change skin potential).

	Dowsing Rods
		Since it is believed that when a spirit is present the electro magnetic fields are effected normally in a positive way, people who believe the rods react to energy believe that the rods reactions in a location is a sign of a haunting and often rule out any other causes of the energy disturbances.
		I do not doubt that dowsing rods could be effected by a spirit but they are not the only cause for the rods movements.
		When you are holding the metal rods or anything in your hand you can subconsciously be moving them.

	DOWSING with Rods, Pendulum and Body!
		We can all do it, because dowsing or divining are simply mental skills, in which we ask our higher self a specific yes/no question, and receive the answer in some form.
		Dowsing is not 100% reliable, but the times it's not seem to be when I'm asking for information just out of curiosity, and when there's no real reason for me to know something, and it doesn't matter to me. Also, when I'm tired I don't always get good results.

		Dowsing is popularly portrayed as a forked stick, with the dowser holding the forked end of the stick, the other end of the stick being pulled downwards, upwards, or in another direction as the dowser walks over or near the sought-for object.
		The dowsing rods shown in this picture are made of copper pipe, end caps, and a bent piece of copper wire going through a hole in one end of the handle.
		The rods may point towards it as you walk past, indiicating that you should change direction and walk in the direction the rods are pointing.
