The Divining Rod: Virgula Divina—baculus Divinatorius (water-Witching)

The Divining Rod: Virgula Divina—baculus Divinatorius, published in 1876 by Charles Latimer, examines the practice of water-witching through the use of divining rods. Latimer defends this controversial method against skepticism by presenting personal experiences and experimental data, suggesting that the rod's movement may be influenced by electrical forces. The book aims to position dowsing within scientific inquiry, encouraging open-minded exploration of this phenomenon and providing mathematical insights into locating underground water sources.
