Dowsing is not evil......

Some people are sensitive to earth energies and can feel the water,say,anyway.

The rods or stick or whatever just reveal answers that are easy to see....

Of course the talent could be used for evil just as practically anything else can be.

That is the choice of every individual soul ....aka free will....

When electricity was first discovered people thought that was evil.....not that I was alive then ,joke, but Ibonce saw a play or documentary about it .....

With finding water ,a downer told me ,you have to find a spot where there are several flows or more at different depths so the water doesn’t run out in summer.

You can do this by asking questions once you have located a suitable place.

It is wise to keep the well a good distance from drains and get the water tested to check it is safe....

We had a well put in a few years ago and the company who did this had a downer to find out where.

The first dowsers here were brought over from Germany in Richard 1 time to find minerals to mine.......

This means the medeavil church must have thought it was ok too......

Not everything that you can’t see is bad and as I said it is not the skill or object that is bad but if it is used to do bad things it is that person who is bad .......they are responsible.......just as knives are useful as we all know but in the wrong hands that can be lethal ...yet surgeons use them to save lives.......
