EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing image from 1782, we find French sourcier, or diviner, Bleton, demonstrating his extraordinary dowsing abilities before a skeptical committee of scientists. Blindfolded and without the use of any apparatus, Bleton's unwavering faith in the paranormal forces guiding him defied the rational explanations and empirical evidence that the scientists sought to impose. The scene unfolds in a grand, ornate room, filled with the air of anticipation and skepticism. Bleton, dressed in a simple, rustic attire, stands with his back to the committee, his head bowed and hands clasped in front of him, as if in deep concentration. A blindfold covers his eyes, and yet, he confidently points towards a hidden object, believed to be located within the room. The scientists, dressed in their finest attire, gather around him, their expressions a mix of curiosity, disbelief, and intrigue. They hold out a small, intricately designed box, containing a precious gemstone, which is the object of Bleton's search. The room is dimly lit, adding to the mystical atmosphere, as the committee members lean in, eager to witness the outcome of this extraordinary demonstration. Bleton's ability to dowses, or find hidden water or other substances, without the use of any tools or instruments, was a subject of great fascination during this period. His blindfolded demonstration before the committee of scientists was a testament to his unwavering belief in the power of the paranormal and the deep connection he claimed to have with the natural world. Despite the scientific community's skepticism, Bleton's conviction and the inexplicable accuracy of his readings continued to captivate and intrigue those who witnessed his abilities.
