Texas is in a severe drought. This new well is miraculous. 92,000 gallons per minute!
I live in an area of NM that evreybody has a well, or hauls water in.
The drilling companies have “witchers”, and they hit a lot more often than they miss. A miraculous well in this neighborhood is 15 gallons a minute.
You always have to wonder if they had drilled 100 ft in any direction if they would have hit water anyway.
Residents of this Hill Country town west of Austin depend on the river for their entire water supply.
I had to read through the sixth paragraph to find the name of “this Hill Country town”....Llano. And I think it’s actually called “dowsing”. I’ve never heard it called “witching”. Of course that doesn’t mean it’s not.
I tried picking lottery numbers that way once. I took 50 some index cards and wrote numbers on them, shuffled them and laid them face down on the patio. I used a forked willow branch to pick the lottery numbers.
I didn’t win 100 million, thus proving that dowsing doesn’t work.
“Witching” (like dowsing) is completely illogical and wrong.
One should NEVER EVER do it.
(What a silly endeavour!)
And yet it works. Proveably and scientifically.
Maybe we DON’T understand our LORD’s Earth as well as we think?
Here in Pennsyltucky we do it with a forked peach limb. It works, too. I have also heard of them using brass or copper rods, similar to what you described. It’s called “Dowsing”.
I have an aunt and uncle that both have the gift of “water witching”. Unfortunately, I’ve never been able to get it to work.
P.S. Here is what Wikipedia says about it: Dowsing. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search
For the English iconoclast, see William Dowsing.
A dowser, from an 18th century French book about superstitions. Otto Edler von Graeve in 1913 Dowsing is a type of divination employed in attempts to locate ground water, buried metals or ores, gemstones, oil, gravesites,[1] and many other objects and materials, as well as so-called currents of earth radiation (Ley lines), without the use of scientific apparatus. Dowsing is also known as divining (especially in reference to interpretation of results),[2] doodlebugging (in the US)[citation needed], or (when searching specifically for water) water finding, water witching or water dowsing.[3]
A Y- or L-shaped twig or rod, called a dowsing rod, divining rod (Latin: virgula divina or baculus divinatorius) or witching rod is sometimes used during dowsing, although some dowsers use other equipment or no equipment at all.
Dowsing appears to have arisen in the context of Renaissance magic in Germany, and it remains popular among believers in Forteana or radiesthesia[4] although there is no accepted scientific rationale behind the concept and no scientific evidence that it is effective.
WOW, 92,000 GPM!!! The well bore must be 8 foot in diameter and the pressure 500 PSI!!!
Me thinks someone made a mathematical error on some level. Otherwise they better be prepared for San Antone to drag their City Limits west of em real fast.
Divining rods do work. My family used them to find $20,000 that my spouse’s Depression-Era grandfather had buried in coffee cans on his property.
