One of these was the French dowsing journal named <em>Radiesthesie pour Tous<\/em>, now sadly a\npublication no more. These reviews were brief, but they included translations\ninto English.&nbsp; The content of these\nEuropean journals, and particularly this one, were very interesting. One gets\nthe impression that the French dowsers were more open minded than their English\ncounterparts at this time, with regard to how dowsing might work and how it\nmight be applied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, here is a short extract from <em>Radiesthesie pour Tous<\/em>, Number 21, August 1951, p263, entitled \u201c<em>Errors in Radiesthesia\u201d<\/em>. There are two\nshort accounts of dowsers performing a successful search, but which turned out\nto be failures, in very unexpected manners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first search was for a lost dog, but actually the dog\u2019s <em>brother<\/em> was found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second search, the dowser sought a husband and wife,\nwith whom contact had been lost at the start of WW2. In fact, the couple had\nbeen killed, and instead he located their son in one location, and a relative\nin another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such failures show the importance of the dowser asking the\nright questions, or series of questions, about the object(s) sought during the\nsearch process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The translated text is available here (look for p.263):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dowsing-research.net\/blog_extracts\/BSD_No70_1950_p243.pdf\">http:\/\/www.dowsing-research.net\/blog_extracts\/BSD_No70_1950_p243.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the earlier years of its existence, each Journal of the British Society of Dowsers contained brief reviews of European dowsing journals.
