So, zero divination - I think this has to do with EM fields, but I work with underground wiring, and *if there is voltage* on the line, I have located them within 8" of where the rod "triggers" - I have done it dozens if not a hundred times, and it has worked consistently. My old boss showed me how, and I thought he was pulling my leg. 100% anecdotal and 0% scientific, but it was worked for me

[@vyrdera]

@joshw6562 I'm curious as to how it works too. I used then in the military to locate wiring, and they worked 100%. We would get diagrams of where buried cable should be, and used these to verify they were there. As well as identity any misdocumented or unidentified cable. I tell people this and they still don't believe me, but I straighten out a coat hanger and let them try for themselves.

[@claytoniusdoesthings9598]

the only dowsing rods I've ever seen get used were homemade ones, and they were being used to find the underground waterline for a septic tank that was buried over 30 years ago. We dug where the rods crossed and hit a huge PVC drainage pipe about 2 feet down. We found the waterline we were looking for, but not the section we wanted (it had busted somewhere along the line, and sewage water was leaking out). Once we knew for a fact where the drainpipe was, we were able to deduce the general location of where the leak could be coming from. It took us roughly 45 minutes to find the section we were looking for. Now in conclusion, I've come to the realization that either A: There is something to water-source finding using a dowsing rods or B: Flukes like I described above happen so often as to keep the concept that they work alive.

[@Wellactually123]

It's sort of like my uncle. Everyone calls him Lucky because he always tells us about all the money he wins gambling. But what he doesn't go around telling everyone, is how often he loses. No one wants to tell the story about the time they walked around with magic sticks in their back yard and didn't find anything, even though that story is much more common.

[@SouthernRebels94]

The one thing is that plumbers uses them to find water pipes, gas lines and so on so I believe they do work for some things but no so good with everything else, since professionals plumbers wouldn't be required to have them if they didn't work when it comes to locating water or gas

[@SampoSaarela]

I think there might be something else to this. On the face value I absolutely do not believe in finding water with the rods and I think anyone believing something so silly must be out of their minds. But, I have heard the stories that they do work from quite a lot of sources that I would value at least somewhat credible. So, is it only statistics that they work sometimes and people just forget all the times they don't. Could be? But from the stories they seem to work way too well for that being the case. So I have tried to deduct what is the reason they could work, and I think I have some kind of an answer. It could be either people pranking others or it could be people tapping into their subconscious with the rods. What the ....? So for both the idea is that the person using the rods already knows where the water line is. Either they have solid knowledge or they can read the clues. Usually the lines go from point A to B, usually they make 90°, they usually don't go through solid rocks, they usually don't go under very old trees, etc etc. So either the rod user already knows it and just plays a prank on the onlookers, or they don't know that they know but use the rods to kind of "tap into their subconscious".

[@JackBWatkins]

[@physical_insanity]

If I had to be psycho-analytical, the rods would probably be receptive to one's unconscious/subconscious impulses and would react accordingly, sort of similar to how tarot cards divine the future through unconscious action. Naturally, it's easier to just manipulate them and be a fraud, but doing it correctly, the only thing affecting them would be like your own subconscious. I'm not too well-versed in what dowsing rods are meant to do, but I know they've been used to find underground stockpiles of resources.

Well the irrigation system was getting broken multiple times daily because of the digging. And no one knew where the irrigation pipes were I tried using them one day. Walked along where we were going to dig and marked wherever they found something. Tney were 100% right. I did it every morning for the next 3 weeks. Never broke anymore irrigation pipes after that. After the first week. They people that said it didn't work, i was wasting time, I'm trying to get out of digging for 10 or 15min every morning, or i was just lucky i guessed exactly where the pipes were. The next week they were like hey get out your witching sticks and mark this off so we can get to work. Still not believing they worked but they knew i was able accurately mark out where the irrigation lines were. Once there was nothing there so i dug an extra 2 1/2 feet to see why it was saying there was water there. Ended up finding an old main water line. So they were always right. I rode in a car blind folded to where i could only look down so i could watch them. Everytime we crossed a main water line i told them. They can verify because the county puts blue reflectors on the sides of the road wherever they cross a street. Again i was able to say theres one here Everytime we crossed them. I don't know how they work, but they work. I don't 100% know how gravity works but it seems to still work without me knowing how same as the dousing rods. Same as most people here don't know oxygen is magnetic. And water isn't wet. So there are many things going on in this world we don't understand but they still go on anyway.

I don’t believe in water dowsing. But I heard that the way water dowsing works is the person with the stick is actually just a pro at guessing where water is based on plants and landforms. I would also like to add that I would probably hire a “dowser” if I wanted to find natural water sources on my property because even though I think dowsing is completely fake, it rarely hurts to have an experts help.

HIGHLY recommend: If anyone wants to see renowned dowsers get disproven with large-scale Mythbusters-like experiments… I finally found the best video: “James Randi in Australia” is the title. Channel: Philip Buarque

[@StephenMelody]

Unfortunately, the James Randi experiment carried out in Australia had a serious design flaw that made the results totally invalid. Water had been run through each of the underground pipes before being shut off from the water supply. Then one of the 10 pipes was allowed water to flow through it and dowsers were asked to ID this pipe. The dowsers didn't stand a chance because they would pick up the presence of the residual water in the other 9 pipes. Also, the whole concept of the experiment was invalid. If you want to test if a dowser can find an underground stream, them you need to let them find the water in its natural state, which is flowing through cracks in rocks deep underground not through plastic pipes just under the surface. Extrapolating the results from this experiment to the real life field situation is totally unscientific. To the best of my knowledge, no scientific experiment has ever been conducted to determine if dowsers can find underground water. All the experiments conducted were based on the model of an underground stream, not on a real stream. The people who conduct these experiments have become the laughing stock of the scientific community because they claim their experiments are scientific and that their results are valid. Maybe one day someone will allow dowers to demonstrate what they are used to doing in the field and we will then know the truth. ,

To all of you people that havnt tried dowsing for water or electrical or sewer lines or anything like that in the ground, go try it and tell me it doesn’t work. My father in law built his own house and laid all the piping in the ground and ran electric lines and water lines. He knew exactly where they were under the ground. I stumbled on dowsing one day and made some rods out of coat hangers and had him with me as I walked around the property. When the rods involuntarily crossed (as I was very careful to not move a single muscle, he would inform me exactly what line or pipe was under the ground. Walk around your yard if you have sprinkler lines and see what happens. Well diggers literally use this method to find where to drill. I’ve seen it first hand. You people don’t even try to verify, you talk out of your ass. NO THE RODS WILL NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS though.

What he does with the rods is not correct....he would do better to ask to be shown his reaction for yes and no. After that one can refine the reaction. For example when I am locating water in a pipe or free flowing underground I have trained my rod to indicate the reaction when the front of my shoe starts to pass over directly above. 98% of people can dowse, a few become professionals, a few are not open enough to give it a go or make a joke of it. This doesn't impress your audience. You need to study the influence of magnetite on the cerebellum, this causing minute muscular movements in reaction to variations in the Earth's magnetic field. Migrating birds use their magnetise for navigation. Do some more research and then have a lesson with a professional for an informed critique.

Consuming a whole foods plant based diet does make a difference in the way the body responds to cancer, and there are both population studies showing decreased cancer and other chronic illnesses in populations that eat more plant based, and studies that illuminate mechanisms in the body that back up that data, that show the benefits of a plant based diet. Medical doctors don’t get much nutrition training and aren’t always the most informed or best at curing chronic illnesses. But other than that, I do agree with your video on the silliness of using dowsing rods to answer questions.

I used them once without knowing why I was using them and with no prejudice, and they indicated an ancient lay line. I was only told that after the rods came together at a specific spot every time I walked past it. An ancient map was shown to me, showing me the lay line. I had no clue about lay lines or dowsing rods and was merely touring a castle. I asked a guy what he was doing and of course my response was to laugh, and so he gave them to me and told me to walk up and down this path a few times and the rods came together at exactly the same spot each time. Also, he was using them in the gift shop at the time, so I had not seen him walking on the path. They were clearing up some chairs that apparently had been thrown about by a Poltergeist. The shop assistant looked really shocked, and the guy with the rods said he was seeing if they worked on ghosts. He said it wasn't uncommon for stuff to fly around in there and that they had a high turn over of staff. That's when I was obviously openly cynical, and he took me outside and asked me to walk. I'm no believer in this stuff, but still cannot explain any of it to this day

Many discrepancies in the bible about oracles and divination. You must read for yourself and without religion involved before just accepting how someone wants you to interpret how they CHANGED up the TRUE words for who it was actually meant for. Oracles are divine inspiring individuals (man woman child alike), who are used as an instrument and embodied to prophesy and give messages from the high realm. Who said to KEEP AWAY from them exactly?? The people that rewrote the bible??? Make it make sense. Didn't christ who you call jesus do divination, raising the dead and using herbs and such??? Wasn't he killed for doing witchcraft and was called a warlock?? Or did you know that? Didn't Solomon have plenty of copper surrounding his temple because copper draws beautiful energy and heals of sickness, hence will attract higher frequencies.
