Farmers have used dowsing to find water for centuries. Some dowsers these days claim to measure energy levels at Stonehenge, or in crop circles … what say you? Skeptic or believer…?

Dowsing The Energy

Dowsing may have attracted its fair share of detractors, but the idea of using a forked twig to find an underground water source is not new to farmers and other land workers, who have used the ancient art of dowsing for centuries.

Of course, these days dowsing has become more associated with the weird and the whacky than anything that might be turned to practical use—we no longer use the forked twig to dowse for sources of water; instead we use dowsing rods to map the course of ley lines, or a pendulum to locate sacred places on a map or to measure the state of a person’s energy.

Some modern-day dowsers even claim they can measure the energy levels at places like Stonehenge and other sacred sites, while others say they can detect whether a crop circle is genuine or hoax, simply by dowsing the area of flattened crop within the circle.

Naturally skeptics dismiss dowsing as, at best, coincidence, at worst, nonsense.

How about you—skeptic or believer? Either way we’d love to hear your views and see your evidence…
