consult the doodlebug...

dowsing. that's two copper whisps or a branch with forks, a grip for gripping pigeons-- not too firm, not too slight. mostly looking for water. sometimes it's a search for the lost item, whatever it may be. the tool consulted is called a doodlebug. familiar. if one is looking for the lost item, one has to hold the object in the mind. concentrate. the branch dips. the copper crosses. there is the object beneath your feet. bodies are mostly water. hearts, too? suppose so. hold the object in your mind. find it below your feet. see also: water witching.
