Dowsing. Historical photograph of a group of diviners with a variety of objects used for detecting underground water ("dowsing"). The divining (meaning "finding") objects are (from left to right): a whale bone rod,a pendulum suspended from a rod,a watch on a pendulum,another watch on a pendulum and a split cane rod. The rods are held loosely in the practitioner's hands and spontaneously point upwards or downwards when he passes over an underground object such as a spring. The pendulums rotate when over an underground object. Although still widely used,divining has no scientific basis and there is no conclusive evidence that it works | |
