2: The History of Dowsing


The history of Dowsing was first recorded  in cave drawings found in Spain which were dated 40,000 to 50,000 years ago.Throughout the centuries  more evidence was recorded that dowsing was used to find water or ore deposits. Queen Elizabeth I of England in 1566 had German miners come to England to teach the English miners to find ore deposits by dowsing. In more recent times further records have been kept relating to the use of rods or pendulums for dowsing.If you Google The history of Dowsing there are many references you can read.                                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                                                                BEGINNER DOWSER
   A close friend also had a pendulum and as beginners we were not really confident in any reaction we may have received. We had been told about The Dowsing Society of Victoria at Mount Waverley. We inquired about when the meetings were held, with our pendulums in our pockets off we embarked not being too sure what we would find. When we walked into the room we were warmly greeted and there wasn't one person there with two heads or wearing a pointed hat, the folk attending the meeting, men, women and some children, of all ages were ordinary people just like you or me. After listening to the guest speaker we knew there was so much to learn. The small library had books on Dowsing that we could borrow. We were guided by the acting librarian which books were suitable for beginners.The gift stall had an array of pendulums, beautiful pendulums, practical  pendulums of different colours, shapes and prices. We were advised that when choosing a pendulum the one that appeals to you is the one to buy. So armed with a new pendulum, two books on dowsing ,we farewelled our new friends knowing  that this was just the beginning of a new journey.

1: The Gift of Dowsing


Introduction
I was introduced to dowsing twenty years ago when the local Doctor wouldn't prescribe antibiotics for the repeated colds I suffered, so I hot footed it down to the Health Food Shop to find out what I could take to stop contracting these frequent colds. Hann's the salesman asked me what my problem was then took out an object which was a metal shape with a short length of chain attached to it. He held this object as he checked the containers of vitamins if the metal object turned in one direction he would take the bottle off the shelf if it turned the other way he left it there. What was this man doing? Then he use the same object holding it over each container and wrote on each one the dosage and how frequently the tablets had to be taken. He must have seen the look on my face and explained that he was a Dowser, I mean to say I didn't know what he was talking about. He assured me that those vitamins and minerals would strengthen my immune system and help to alleviate the colds. I was somewhat bewildered with all of this but I'd give it a go. In time I didn't have a cold and haven't since. It worked. I continued to rely on Hanns for my physical well being. The products changed according to my state of health. Imagine my dismay when he told me he was closing his business.I needed to find out more about how you dowse and purchased "The Pendulum Box'hoping to learn how to get the pendulum to rotate and give me the correct answer. The information in The Box kept repeating Everyone can Dowse.
