Water Witching

Yesterday, the well digger came to scope our project.  His business decades old, Beloved has used his services dozens of times across the years.  For good measure Beloved combines the well digger with a well known dowser, or water witcher.  
.
The well digger is also a dowser.  He uses copper rods, pictured at bottom, 1 in each hand.
.
When he was done, I HAD to try.  Wild.  The rods moved easily, starting, one in each hand and at each hip, moving toward each other and crossing as I walked if there was water below.  At various areas the rods moved with differing strengths.  Finally, with the most strength, walking over a spot, the rods went behind my back and crossed, strongest power of the session.  
.
The well digger said he knew of a man that the rods always went behind him.  Mine went both ways.  Front, mostly.  Not everyone can dowse.  I'm going to order a pair of rods, and add it to the 'games' played when friends/family are over for dinner on a holiday grill out.

Amongst all the garden books read, only 1 mentioned water and our bodies, but not in relation to dowsing.  Instead, large bodies of water, lakes, rivers, oceans always pull the human body.  Our bodies are made mostly of water, there is an ion exchange with the water in our bodies and lakes/rivers/oceans.  That's what I read, and have believed it ever since, I read it, so it must be true.

Well digging averages about $1,000, in our area, no small thought when all you have is expanses of soil, and wanting that first hole to gush, and not terribly deep either.  They charge by the foot.  Sideways, I'm thinking, Hope it tastes good too.

"Today we know these magic wands as dowsing rods, witching rods, or divining rods – sometimes even a pendulum is used. They are commonly used in the search for ley lines. Doodlebugging the search for petroleum, or specifically for water. Dowsing rods are popular among adherents to radionics (using substances like hair or blood to heal from afar), and disciples of Charles Fort. How these wondrous tools work is not known, even by those very experienced in their use. Einstein was convinced they do, saying that the rod shows a reaction of the human nervous system to certain factors which are unknown. So, believer or skeptic, these magic wands have an ancient and prominent history.",  Michelle Snyder
