California farmers hire dowsers to find water

ST. HELENA, Calif. (AP) – March 3, 2014 – With California in the grips of drought, farmers throughout the state are using a mysterious and some say foolhardy tool for locating underground water: dowsers, or water witches.

Chocolate Cake and Dowsing

While attending a philosophical lecture in 1979 I had my first experience with dowsing. During a break, I was at a buffet table watching a woman spinning an object over various dishes. I asked her what she was doing and she shared that she was determining which foods were good for her by using a pendulum.

A Radionics Tale That Ended Deliciously

Near his farmhouse, he had a beautiful mature sweet cherry tree. Each year, the family would enjoy the blossoms, and then watch as eventually the fruit ripened. As the time grew close for harvesting the plump, tasty cherries, they would monitor it closely. “Just one more day, then we should be able to pick them,” they would agree.

Pendulum Pointers for Beginners

Make your own simple pendulums. Well-Balanced, wooden, glass, plastic or metal beads are fine, as it is a hexagonal nut (nut and bolt nut) or any ball, cylinder or top-shaped object. Tie, or attach a ten-inch thread or string to it.

Intent, Need and The Ethics of Dowsing

Before after or during the dowsing learning process there are some fundamental mental process’ that need to be examined. For some time now I have been thinking or looking into these concepts (which are true of any process or work but particularly true of the dowsing/healing process.)

Spoon Bending

first heard about spoon bending being offered at a Physics Conference held at the University of Toronto more than 30 years ago. I had to leave early to attend a Therapeutic Touch week in Upper State New York and missed this event. So in March, for my birthday, I invited the person who had shown it at the conference to come to my party and lead us through the process. I purchased many strong second-hand spoons and invited 18 friends to join me. There was a lot of laughter and everyone but one person turned their spoon. Laughter apparently helps to make “it” happen with spoon bending.

Dowsing our way to the 21st century

Trucks from the water department pulled up on my cul-de-sac. Several guys in hard hats jumped out. They began to mark the street with blue spray paint. Some of them studied books of charts. But one workman walked around holding two bent metal rods, one in each fist, pointed directly ahead of him. He watched the rods intently as they swung left or right or crossed.

Dowsing: The Pseudoscience of Water Witching

Dowsing is an unexplained process in which people use a forked twig or wire to find missing and hidden objects. Dowsing, also known as divining and doodlebugging, is often used to search for water or missing jewelry, but it is also often employed in other applications including ghost hunting, crop circles and fortunetelling.

Dowsing and the Power of Intention

In 2007, our birch tree was showing severe signs of stress. It appeared our beloved tree was infested with bronze birch borers which start at the top of the tree and eat their way down. Once a tree is infested, there is little to be done and death of the tree results.
