TA asks: “Can you help me understand about dowsing to get a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ answer from the Cross or the Rosary? I’ve learned how to do it in the past but don’t feel right to use it any more.”

Divining the Future with Pendulums and Dowsing Rods
CS asks: “What do you know about a technique called dowsing or water witching, supposedly to locate water under the ground, but also to locate things with a rod in a Y shape? It does not seem like something harmful to be in search of water. However, there is also something called dowsing with a pendulum made out of a metal like brass or other materials that is attached to a string. Apparently, you would tell it that if it swings in a circle, this means ‘yes’ and if it swings in a straight line, this means ‘no’; and then you ask it a question and your answer is the direction that it swings. I have seen this done and it seems like something one should not be doing. I am not sure if I should tell the people that are doing it that it is wrong or not.”
