It doesn't really matter what was used , dowsing is one of the many divinatory practices (and likely to be used at stone circles ), it may have been reading tea leaves , throwing yarrows ,necromancy etc but you said it more or less worked and for a divination to work there must have been some sort of a result that led you to that conclusion .Dowsing is the one type that comes to mind whereby there is an affect that could be considered as the result but it is only the equivalent of looking into the crystal ball ,which we can all do , not seeing the past or future , which some claim .

I agree with you Tiompan but this isn't a point of view I've always held. In some ways it's about the full circle of living. You start off holding the views imposed on you as a child and sadly not all children have 'good and true' influences. Many are brainwashed by religion, as I was. When you shake of the shackles of religious dogma it is natural to look for something to fill the vacancy - which is why many of us who reach a certain age have traveled several paths of different ideas and belief systems before reaching the plateau of cynicism and unbelief - thank the goddess there are some snowdrops growing there :-)
