Sig Lonegren

If you just so happen to be in acquaintance with any octogenarians, nonagenarians, or perhaps the rare centenarian, you have a access to a "well" of information.

My late uncle, the Reverend Boyd McClaren, was one of the original old timers. About dowsing, he had this to say: "Willy Warren could take a coat-hanger and find water just like that, every time", he would say snapping his fingers while looking overly serious. "In the old day, dowsing was God's way of providing water for survival".

Water dowsing, I have witnessed with my own eyes. I have no doubts as to the validity of this type of divination. I have no theories as to why it works.

I could digress on divination at length. For instance, biblically, the casting of lots was a form of divination—to divine the will of God. There is also much controversy around Jacob and what his servant called "his master's divination cup". This hints that Jacob may have practiced scrying, which was not uncommon amongst the Jews at the time.

About this book... This was my introduction into Pendulum Dowsing. Mr. Lonegren was quite instructional as well as being interesting in his writing. There were times in which I felt preached at a bit. I mean that Lonegren, at times, came off a bit "New Agey", conjecturably professing the nature of the universe. In this sort of book genre, it is a forgivable sin, even an expected one.

"The Pendulum Kit" is a great introduction to the world of dowsing and it covers quite a bit of ground for such a small read!… (más)
