Dowsing for Beginners: How to Find Water, Wealth & Lost Objects

by Richard Webster

You look around at the anxious faces. They`re all counting on you. In your hands you hold the two short ends of a Y-shaped stick. Slowly, you start to walk around a field. Suddenly, the stick begins to move, seemingly of its own accord. The tip of the stick is pulled down and the stick bends until you think it might break. When you finally find the point with the strongest pull you say, "Here. Dig here." A few hours later, a much-needed well is producing hundreds of gallons of water. In olden days this respected practice was known as "water witching." Today it is called dowsing, and the best way to learn this skill is with Richard Webster`s Dowsing for Beginners. By learning the techniques in this book you will open a doorway to personal growth, potential financial gain and spiritual development. Numerous techniques are given. They use simple objects like a forked stick or just your hand. The book is also filled with illustrations and photos that will allow you to see the correct way to use all of these techniques. Of course, you will be able to use these techniques to discover lost or hidden items. You will be able to find subterranean water, gold, and oil. You will also learn how to use these techniques to answer questions and even help you with potential health problems before they occur. Time and again, dowsing has proven to be an effective means of discovering things. You`ll even find evidence that governments use it! So if you are ready to begin a new direction in your life, get this book. This is a 198 page trade softcover book.

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.

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.
