How 'bout talking about dowsing for a change.
I'd care to converse about something besides those tests so...
I've been wondering about the pendulum. I haven't gotten or made one yet. The guy that really taught me dowsing can only really use a metal L rod. When I was first learning he wrote a small book for me and talked about how his father used a boxelder or willow branch to dowse for water. He went on to explain how his father did it, but when I asked he stated that he tried and could never really use the branch. He also has tried a little bit with the pendulum but couldn't utilize it very well and so all he ever uses is a brass rod.
Has anyone else found a tendency towards one tool? I've taken a branch from a boxelder and tried it and it doesn't work real well. I believe with practice I could make use of it but even if I could develope great skill with the branch it would never be as versitile as the rod. The pendulum I made a realy poor one with a finger nail clipper and from what I tried it worked quite nicely. Now again in some areas the rod would be much better, but I know many instances where a pendulum would be much better.
Any thoughts?
