Dear Ones,
Just what is bewhickery? For the answer, read on …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO
Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.
My great-uncle Guy, who loved children, was into ‘bewhickery’. And I recall he initiated me.
It had to do with locating water for use on the farms around the countryside where I lived as a child.
The objects used were ‘Y’-shaped wands made of a pliable branch that could be held with one end of the ‘Y’ in each hand and then the front of the ‘Y’ … the ‘wand’ … pointing horizontal to the ground.
One walked along, holding onto the two arms of the wand, and when water was there, running along underground, the wand bent down. Bewhickery!
If you would like a sample of old-time bewhickery, you can buy yourself a “Farmers’ Almanac.” Be sure and get one for the current year.
God bless you all,
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days.
In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!
See you later! Take care!

Here is evidence that bewhickery was well known in the year 1681. My guess is that it was in common practice long before that. –Alice B. Clagett
