Note: People with the skill or ability to detect the presence of water, minerals, treasure, archaeological remains, and even dead bodies located underground by means of a divining rod. Dowsers grasp the rod by its two prongs and appear to receive transmissions from the hidden substance or object that cause involuntary muscular contractions, which in turn make the rod bend, twist, or quiver violently. Some dowsers claim to be ableto detect buried substances merely by passing a divining rod over amap of the area where the substance lies hidden. This ability has as yet no scientific explanation, but dowsers generally deny that divination is part of the process.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 具有利用卜杖探測位於地下之水源、礦脈、寶藏、人類遺迹甚至遺體的技術或能力者。藉由握住卜杖的兩根叉齒，卜探者似乎可接收到隱藏物質或物件傳送的某種訊號，訊號導致不自主的肌肉收縮，而所持的卜杖也會跟著彎折、扭曲或劇烈抖動。有些卜探者聲稱只要持卜杖劃過某個區域的地圖，就可探測到在何處埋有隱藏物質。科學至今尚無法解釋此種能力的成因，但卜探者一般並不將占卜視為探測過程的一部分。 |
| Dutch ..... Personen die de vaardigheid bezitten om water, mineralen, schatten, archeologische resten en zelfs lijken onder de grond op te sporen met behulp van een wichelroede. Wichelroedelopers houden de wichelroede bij de twee gevorkte uiteinden vast en lijken dan energie op te vangen vanuit het object of de substantie onder de grond, met als gevolg onwillekeurige spierbewegingen waardoor de wichelroede gaat krom staan of hevig gaat draaien of trillen. Sommige wichelroedelopers beweren dat ze al een begraven substantie kunnen opsporen door de wichelroede over een kaart van het betreffende gebied te bewegen. Voor deze gave bestaat nog geen wetenschappelijke verklaring, maar wichelroedelopers ontkennen meestal dat hun methode deels op giswerk berust. |
| Spanish ..... Los geománticos toman la varita de sus dos puntas y se aprontan a recibir transmisiones de sustancias escondidas u objetos que causen contracciones musculares involuntarias, que al contraer el cuero hace que la varita se curve, retuerza, o vibre violentamente. Algunos geománticos podrían tener la habilidad de detectar sustancias solamente pasando la varita sobre un mapa del área donde la sustancia permanece escondida. Esta habilidad no tienen explicación científica, pero los geománticos niegan que la adivinación sea parte del proceso. |
