Water Divining - A Book of Practical Instruction
EDITORS COMMENTS
by S. N. Pike MBE, published in 1945, showcases the art of water divining, also known as dowsing, on its captivating front cover. The image presents a determined searcher, clad in a raincoat and holding a forked divining rod, as he focuses intently on the ground in front of him. The vibrant orange background adds a sense of energy and excitement to the scene, while the energies and influences of the water below are suggested by the rippling water droplets at the base of the rod. Water divining is an ancient practice that involves using a divining rod or other tools to locate underground water sources. The belief is that the rod is influenced by the presence of water and will move towards it. This method was widely used in rural communities for finding water for domestic and agricultural purposes, and was also employed by engineers and geologists for exploring for mineral deposits and other geological features. The cover of Pike's instructional book invites us to join the searcher on his quest to find water, as he delves deeper into the mysteries of this intriguing practice. The 1940s setting of the image adds a nostalgic charm, transporting us back in time to an era when people relied on traditional methods to meet their basic needs. The book itself serves as a valuable guide for those interested in learning the art of water divining, offering practical instruction and insights into this fascinating and enduring practice.
