Note: Refers to the technique of detecting underground water, minerals, treasure, archaeological remains, and even dead bodies by feeling the motion of a divining rod. A Y-shaped twig is the traditional divining rod, its two prongs twisting or dipping in the hand of the dowser to indicate the nearby presence of the material sought; alternatively metal rods are held parallel a few inches apart and swing across each other. The nature of the stimuli causing these reactions is unexplained, but most dowsers deny that it is a matter of divination. |

Chinese (traditional) ..... 一種藉由感應探測棒的擺動,探尋地下水、礦物、寶藏、考古遺跡,甚至感應屍體的技術。傳統的探測棒作Y字型,探測師將分叉的兩端扭轉或握在手中,用以指出尋找物質的所在;金屬探測棒則以數吋的間距平行握住,兩棒向彼此搖擺作探測。產生此類反應的因素無可解釋,但多數探測師皆否認卜杖探勘是一種占卜。 |
Dutch ..... Verwijst naar de techniek met behulp waarvan, door het meten van de bewegingen van een wichelroede, de aanwezigheid van water, mineralen, schatten, archeologische overblijfselen en zelfs dode lichamen kunnen worden gevonden. Oorspronkelijk was de wichelroede een y-vormige tak, waarvan de twee vertakkingen draaien en kantelen in de hand van de wichelroedeloper, ter indicatie van de aanwezigheid van het gezochte materiaal. Een alternatief is het gebruik van metalen staven, die enkele centimeters van elkaar parallel worden vastgehouden en naar elkaar toe bewegen. Het is onbekend wat voor soort prikkels deze reacties veroorzaken, maar volgens de meeste wichelroedelopers heeft het niets met waarzeggerij te maken. |
Spanish ..... Úsese para la técnica de detectar aguas subterráneas u otras sustancias u objetos captando el movimiento de una vara adivinatoria. |
