Dowsing, sometimes called divining or water witching, is the practice which dowsers detect hidden or buried water, metals, gemstones, or other objects with the aid of simple hand held tools or instruments.
Dowsing can be also used for searching for underground features such as archaeological remains, cavities and tunnels, oil, veins of mineral ore, underground building services, missing items and occasionally missing persons.
Pendulums such as a crystal or a metal weight suspended on a chain are sometimes used in divination and dowsing, particularly in remote or "map dowsing". In one approach, the user first determines which direction (left-right, up-down) will indicate "yes" and which "no," before proceeding to ask the pendulum specific questions. In the practice of radiesthesia, a pendulum is used for medical diagnosis.
Dowsing is reported to date back approximately 7000 years but origins are still unknown. It is accepted, however, that the Egyptians used images of forked rods in some of their artwork as did the Ancient Chinese kings.
Some believe that when dowsing, you are engaged in a dialog with your Higher Self and other spirit guides who are trying to assist you in obtaining the information you seek and/or accessing a repository of unlimited knowledge, referred to by Carl Jung as the "collective unconscious". Various other theories have been given including electromagnetic, subtle geological forces and ESP.
