EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Quiet Afternoon of Divination: Ladies Dowsing in Guildford, 1913" In this evocative photograph from 1913, a group of ladies can be seen gathered in a serene and sunlit setting, engrossed in the ancient art of dowsing. The scene unfolds near the picturesque town of Guildford, Surrey, England, with the rolling hills and lush greenery providing a tranquil backdrop. Dowsing, also known as water witching or divining, is an ancient practice believed to involve the use of natural tools, such as twigs or rods, to locate underground water sources or hidden treasures. The ladies in this photograph appear to be using hazel twigs, a popular choice for dowsing due to their flexibility and sensitivity. The image captures the ladies in a moment of quiet concentration, their faces focused intently on the twigs as they move them over the ground. The ladies' elegant attire, with their long skirts and bonnets, adds an air of sophistication to the scene, demonstrating that this seemingly mystical practice was not limited to the rural or working classes. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, revealing a time when people turned to the paranormal for answers and connection to their environment. The practice of dowsing, though often met with skepticism today, was once a widely accepted and respected method for locating water sources and solving various other problems. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and intriguing subject matter, invites us to reflect on the rich history of divination and the human desire to seek answers beyond the visible world.
