Rhiannon, your will have to whistle for proper answers, this is a dance that has been going on for decades. Special insights are claimed, evidence in support is requested or evidence to the contrary is cited and the response is always anger. The only place where the dance isn't conducted that way are forums where people take the insights as fundamentally correct. You need to decide if you're content with no answers here or content with no answers elsewhere. ;)
Sometimes there is no definitive answer.

Came across this a while back which I saved...

"I had a guy round on me, in public, that my dowsing was bullshit. He was nasty. So. Giving him my best smile, I asked him if he had any children.
He had.
I asked how much he loved them?
He said, I love them.
Fine. How much do you love them?
I can't answer that. I just love them.
So, there isn't a machine to measure how much you love them?
No.
So, in that case, going by your laws of physics that you are imposing on me,
if you can't measure it, weigh it, calibrate it, your Love doesn't exist?"

That rather proves my point, his claim that there's no machine to measure if dowsing works is untrue. Of course there is.

But there are definitive refutations when you get to the nitty gritty .

Typical illogicality /category error of the dowser .

If the dowsing response is to be considered as an emotion ,/state or poetry should we forget about what they keep telling us they believe they can find ?
