The art of divining, or dowsing, has for years been cloaked in mystery and superstition.  Recognized by some as a means of finding water and minerals, it is actually a method for anyone to develop intuitive skills.  This thought-provoking book demystifies dowsing and presents this ancient science as a powerful tool for self-knowledge. 

Includes a brief history of dowsing, and step-by-step instructions for learning to use L-rods, Y-rods, and pendulums, as well as non-device dowsing. 

 Shows how dowsing is used for locating water, gold and other minerals, buried artifacts, ancient ritual sites, and in police work to help find missing persons.
