Dowsing has existed in various forms for thousands of years. Dowsing is the exercise of a human faculty, which allows one to obtain information in a manner beyond the scope and power of the standard human physical senses of sight, sound, touch, etc.
Also known as divining, it has been villified by the Church in times past because it empowered practitioners to gain knowledge independent from officially recognised divine channels and gain intuitions with enthusiam (from 'entheo', meaning enfused with the god within). Dowsing was technically illegal in the UK up until The Witchcraft Act was repealed in 1958.
Dowsing success has been recorded since the time of Moses, for the story of Aaron producing water from the rock (Exodus chapter 17, verse 6) is often quoted as the first written evidence. Even if we dismiss the Biblical claim, dowsers appear engraved on ancient Egyptian stonework
and on the statue of a Chinese emperor dating circa 2200 BC. Little else of dowsing is recorded until Agricola, in 1556, wrote De Re Metallica, a composition on mining, which included an illustration of a German dowser at work.
