Pendulums & Dowsing
A pendulum can be used as a dowsing tool. What is dowsing? Master dowsers Maggie and Nigel Percy define dowsing the following way:
"Dowsing is a way to get answers to questions you cannot answer rationally. Old time dowsers would search for where to drill for water. You can't know where to drill using only your rational mind. You'd have to guess. So they used dowsing, an intuitive method that gives you answers to questions you can't answer logically. Good water dowsers are usually correct over 90% of the time when they dowse a location for a well."
Most dowsers use a tool of some kind to indicate the “yes” or “no” answer to the question, and a pendulum works nicely for this. For more information about dowsing, go to Maggie and Nigel's website Discovering Dowsing where they provide a wealth of excellent information, from free guides to comprehensive dowsing books and courses.
