The art of dowsing or divining - the tracing of underground water, minerals, pipes or cables - has fascinated people for centuries and today there is a renewed interest in the subject. This book is intended to help the would-be dowser to enter into the mystery of dowsing. The book sets out to prove that anyone can dowse, and it also dispels the commonly accepted myths that dowsing is a gift enjoyed by a few practitioners, that it is always associated with water and that hazel twigs are the only media.
