Dowsing rods are metal rods people use for different purposes, but most use them for spiritual things. So what are they and how do they work?
Dowsing rods are copper or made from wood. Most people use copper ones but it all depends on your preference.
The way they work is interesting. They can be triggered by slight twitches and movements; this is called “the ideomotor effect.” People also say it depends on the person controlling the dowsing rods.
They are also one of many items in witchcraft that are very controversial. A lot of people believe they are effective and others think they’re set up by the controller of them.
The history behind dowsing rods is fascinating. First discovered in 1949 on a cave mural it showed a dowser holding forked sticks to find groundwater with other tribesmen around him the artwork is over 8000 years old. At first, they were used to find ore and other natural materials like water. However, as time went on things changed and people started using them for witchcraft.
