The Abbé Bouly’s term “radiesthésie”, or radiesthesia, means radiation perception: the ability to detect radiation within the human body and within nature.
The practical application of dowsing and physical radiesthesia serves as a great example of the investigation of vital forces within the field of Borderland Sciences. Radiesthesia is a faculty used to locate objects, substances, or energies using subtle vibrations or forces that are often beyond the scope of conventional scientific understanding.
This investigation of vital forces involves acknowledging that there are subtle energies that exist beyond our conventional senses.
Dowsers perceive and interact with these energies that are not easily detectable through traditional scientific methods. It challenges the mainstream understanding of reality and pushes the boundaries of scientific exploration.
By utilizing tools such as dowsing rods or pendulums, researchers tap into their etheric components of their nervous system and intuitive abilities to detect hidden or unseen energies.
The practical application of dowsing not only showcases the capacity of individuals to tap into these vital forces, but also demonstrates the potential benefits for humanity by opening up new avenues of exploration and invites us to consider the interconnectedness of the physical and energetic realms.
Borderland Sciences catalog represents the most important primary research available in dowsing, primarily physical radiesthesia.

Psychical Physics: A Scientific Analysis of Dowsing, Radiesthesia & Kindred Phenomena
by Solco Walle Tromp
“The task of this publication is three-fold: first to establish whether the different divining phenomena really exist or are due only to suggestions; secondly, when established, to study all the disturbing factors; thirdly to analyze whether the reactions of diviners (after they have proved to be real) can be used as indicators for certain external physical conditions.” – S. W. Tromp
This exceptionally thorough book is a classic manual for anyone interested in detecting the effects of natural and man-made fields of energy on living plants and humans.

How to Use a Pendulum
by Stella Askew
“To the average man or woman, the use of a pendulum or diving rod is completely new and mystifying. But in reality, it is one of the oldest sciences known to man, with many references to the use of rods and pendulums found throughout history.”

A History of Dowsing and Energy Relationships
by Erwin E. Stark
This little gem covers all of the key points necessary to comprise a thorough, scholarly work on dowsing. In it Stark touches on the history of both the term and the practice of dowsing, theories behind what is at work and why it works, and methods for refining it as a tool. Methods for detecting subtle energies and determining the relationships between them, health, and environment are also introduced.

Divining Rod – A History of Water Witching
by Arthur J. Ellis
“The use of a forked twig, or so-called divining rod, in locating minerals, finding hidden treasure, or detecting criminals is a curious superstition that has been a subject of discussion since the middle of the sixteenth century and still has a strong hold on the popular mind, even in this country, as is shown by the large number of inquiries received each year by the United States Geological Survey as to its efficacy, especially for locating underground water.”
