Dowsing for Treasure and Criminals: Extra Uses for Divining Rods

About this episode

This episode explores the practical uses of dowsing beyond finding water, focusing on treasure and criminal detection.

Dowsing is often used to find water, minerals, or even lost items. Where divination usually seeks to provide information, here the information is of a directly practical or tangible sort. Rather than telling a fortune, or providing a prophetic dream that must be interpreted, dowsing relates information about the presence of something the dowser is looking for. We’ve already looked at dowsing for water, also known as water witching. In this post, we’ll look at dowsing for treasure and criminals in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
