Dowsing rods of all makes work in the vibrational pull of all things in the universe.

Brass dowsing rods are L shaped rods that usually have a sleeve that the "handles" fit within.

The sleeves are grasped loosely in the hands of the dowser. The short part of the rods fir within the sleeves and the long parts of the rods extend in front of the dowser's body, more or less parallel with the ground and oriented straight forward from the dowser's body.

A question is asked or the "search" is expressed and the dowser moves slowly forward.

As the Dowser's body comes closer to the "object of the search" the rods will start to swing in the sleeves. When you are directly over the object the rods should cross.

The process is a bit more complex than I have described, but that is the basics of how they work.

How do divining rods work?

Divining rods, often Y-shaped or L-shaped, are traditionally used in dowsing to locate water, minerals, or other hidden objects. Practitioners believe that the rods respond to unseen energies or vibrations from the target substance. However, scientific studies have shown that any movements of the rods are likely due to the ideomotor effect, where subtle, unconscious movements by the user cause the rods to move, rather than any supernatural or unexplained forces. As a result, the effectiveness of divining rods is widely regarded as pseudoscience.


How do dowsing rods work?

Short answer is, they don't. Long answer is they rely on the ideomotor effect. It is so easy to move the rod that even barely noticeable movements will effect the direction it turns. Basically the user of the rod is subconsciously guiding it themselves.

Meaning of dowsing?

Dowsing is the art of "finding" by use of an instrument. You can "find" water, lost objects, things in the ground (including graves, treasure, pipes, etc), answers, and information, just to name a few. The instruments can be a willow forked branch, bent wire rods, a pendulum, or even your hands. Dowsing is one of the oldest "mysteries" of man, and anyone who can "witch water" is considered a go friend to the farmers.
