Very in depth coverage of how to dowse, lists and describes numerous ways. It also contains the things you might be dowsing for. Map dowsing with a pendulum included. Good information, but the book begins to sound the same after a while.

I didn’t know much about dowsing or the potential uses prior to reading this book. I’m interested in trying them and seeing if I can dowse. I found the history of dowsing particularly interesting.

It was a fantastic read! I'd liken his writing style to that of John Beckett's. Information, techniques, his experiences as well as including the opinions and perspectives of others. I was most fond of the medical and self improvement sections.

4.5/5 ⭐️’s
#theartofdowsing is a concise and effective introduction into dowsing, the tools involved and its history. #richardwebster really did his homework- the reference section at the end is extensive.
I was also equally impressed by how organized the information is presented and straightforward the instruction sections are.
I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking into new #divination techniques. In addition, I will also definitely be reading more by Richard Webster in the future.

While promising to deal with the dowsing of gold, treasure, oil and artifacts as well as water, the emphasis is clearly on water, and I could see no mention of gold. I was hoping for at least a couple of hilariously naive quotes to use, but nothing was relevant.

Pretty good little book about dowsing for objects, water, gold and oil. I would like to have seen more detailed information, more examples, etc. Dowsing is not that easy, esp. this type, which takes a lot of practice.
