A divining implement is a tool used for divination, which is the practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown by supernatural means. The most common divining implement is a ROD, which is a three-letter word. Divining rods are usually made of metal, wood, or bamboo and are used to detect underground water, minerals, or other objects. They are also used in dowsing, which is a form of divination that involves the use of a ROD to locate objects or energy fields.
