CHAPTER 5

Map and Ground Dowsing

A pendulum is a very versatile tool, good for purposes beyond divination and healing. It also can be used to trace underground water lines, storage tanks, earth energy lines, power spots, or ancient sites. Dowsing for underground pipes or tanks is nothing new. Although not highly publicized, this technique was taught to soldiers in the Vietnam war to help them find underground bunkers. Since the soldiers did not have pendulums, they were taught to make L-rods out of bent coat hangers.

Dowsing for earth energy, water, oil, or minerals is a process of listening to your intuition. Intuition cannot be proved in a lab or in a test atmosphere because “knowing” something intuitively is not provable. The dowser seems to pick up signals from the earth subconsciously, such as moving streams of water, a certain feeling for oil and coal, or a subconscious reaction to certain minerals. One theory that makes the most sense is that all humans are part of the universe and can be sensitive to whatever else is part of the universe. When you open your subconscious mind and listen to your intuition, you are using a kind of radar to search for the vibrations of something you want to find.

Dowsing or divining is usually connected by the human mind with finding water or oil. These are very specialized fields and require a lot of practice and the asking of very specific questions. Dowsing is often called witching, as in a water witch who looks for water. A water witch who is really good at dowsing will be accurate between 85 and 90 percent of the time. Although most water, oil, and mineral dowsing is done with L-rods or forked sticks, there is no reason one cannot use a pendulum. Since a pendulum is more affected by body motion than L-rods or forked sticks, however, the dowser will have to walk very slowly, frequently coming to a full stop to see how the pendulum reacts.

The best way to learn dowsing for water is to dowse for underground water lines. Pendulum reaction to moving water in lines can be in two ways. The pendulum may respond with a Yes or positive movement when you slowly walk over the pipe’s position. Or, it may swing in the direction in which the pipe lies (Figure 26). When you stand directly above the pipe, the pendulum may go into the Search or Neutral movement, or may circle wildly in a clockwise motion.

Beginners in dowsing need to be aware that it is only running or flowing underground water that makes the pendulum react. This action can be affected by water or sewer lines that have running water in them at the time of the dowsing. This is helpful if you are seeking the whereabouts of water or sewer lines, but not if you are seeking a new source of water. If you dowse a piece of land for water, be sure that you mark out any known sources of water before you begin.
