Hi Jon
Yes I have tried to contact him but all my emails are rejected as undeliverable or considered spam and I have tried many different ways to word the message so it would not be considered spam. So at this time I have been unable to contact him. I did see the one book advertised on Amazon, but I thought that was a little high in price, so I am looking around at other possible locations for the book.

A few weeks ago in this thread there was a link to another book the contents of which was posted online. Although it was not favorable to dowsing, it accepted the proposition that dowsing can/does "work", and the author included a lot of carefully researched and reasoned critique of the subject. Not that I agree with all the author's reasoning and conclusions, but it was a darn good read. Sorry, I don't remember the name of the book itself or of the author.

Unfortunately the post disappeared, I'm guessing that a mod deleted it because the author was coming from a Christian perspective which theoretically could have turned it into a sectarian religious battle. I have no dog in that fight myself.

I'm hoping that whoever posted that link will do so again, preferably in its own thread. And I hope that the moderators will let it stand as long as the people posting in the thread can discuss the thing on its merits (and otherwise) as a discourse on dowsing, resisting the temptation to turn it into a war over religion which this website isn't about.

RD, Matacia has a phone number. Call and leave a message if he doesn't answer.

As for occult books and Ouija Boards, I strongly recommend everyone to stay away from that horrible spiritualism stuff. If you go looking for trouble, you WILL find it. Don't take my word on this, check out what the Catholic preists (Mermet and others) have said about it. Like a few skeptics, you might need an exorcism, too.
