Unnecessary, but thorough and interesting

Most advanced dowsers use a pair of L-rods, a pendulum, a forked stick, or merely rub their fingers together. Many use no device at all. For this reason I've had to do some self-examination about how I'd rate this book, and why. I don't wish to convey the idea to anyone that this book will help in the practice of dowsing. It won't. If you practice dowsing you probably already have a method you consider best for you. If you are a novice, you'll probably discover as other dowsers have done, that the method or external device you use makes little, or no difference. Raymond Grace uses an impressive spring-loaded wand-like device made by Joe Smith, in Arkansas, for his water-purification/healing demonstrations, but he readily admits it is only for the showmanship aspects, just to keep the audience interested. On the other hand, Branson has done a thorough job of presenting through a series of sketches the amazing and imaginative array of tools dowsers use and have used in the past in the pursuit of their dowsing practices. Many of these devices are complicated, some are expensive, and some are deliberate scams elaborately constructed to take money from the unwary. If you have an interest in dowsing I don't hesitate to recommend this book as one of the many available to help you understand the practice. I'd only suggest that you keep it on the level of practice, experimentation, education. Don't take it too seriously.
