I gave this book 3 stars because I was really torn as to where to place it - so smack-dab in the middle works! The subtitle of this book is "Beginning through Advanced Instruction" so I thought I'd give it a whirl. I am no beginner to pendulum work but I am of the mindset that a person can always learn more - that if one believes they are the master of a certain craft then they just haven't explored it deep enough. There is good instruction in this book for the beginner to tap into doing pendulum work. There are exercises to get to know how to use your pendulum; suggestions on how to have the "active mind" and the "sleeping mind" work together; using it in different ways such as areas of health, car maintenance and so on. Even possibly a fair amount of teachings that one might consider advanced> and more on that in what might be considered spoilers...

This is what I wrote as a review on Amazon.com when I was part-way through reading the book:
"I bought this book being a bit experienced in using a pendulum but wanting to learn more and the description does say "Beginning to Advanced Instructions". Now I will honestly say that I skimmed over the first large chunk of the book because it was discussing that which I already know - how to connect with your pendulum, using the intuitive mind, exercises to work with your pendulum, etc. From what I can see, it will be very helpful for a person new to pendulum work because they will really get to know how to work with it in this manner. Parts I didn't agree with so much (and this is own personal preference) was how the author mentioned how you have to ask the Infinite each and every time if it is okay to use your pendulum at this time along with other such questions. I have never done so nor felt the need. I just pull out my pendulum and use it. There may be times that I ask "is this something I am not to know?" or some such question but that isn't always immediate. I also should mention here that I do not follow any religious path nor believe in any sort of godhead or deity therefore me asking the "Infinite" for assistance or the "okay" to use my tool would really be quite hypocritical of me. I also do not agree with a section where the author tells the reader that no matter how much they wish to use the pendulum for divination work that they are not to do it at all. The author warns the reader away from using the pendulum in such a manner and quite harshly if I might add even telling the reader that their pendulum will not work correctly for them if they do so ever again. I must say that I have never found this to be the case. I also want to add that I have not finished reading this book yet but I am over 3/4 of the way finished. I agree with the other reviewer that this book is written in an easy-to-follow and down-to-earth style. However, I do feel there are many times that the book is a bit airy-fairy. If it bothers you, skip over the airy-fairy parts and work the exercises and I think you'll get something out of this. However, it can be a good learning device - I just wouldn't limit this book to your only area of learning to use a pendulum. All I know is, I'm glad I only paid $1.92 for this book used. I just wish there were more "meaty" sections in the advanced area."
This book centers its pendulum teachings on working with the subconscious yet always asking for permission from "Infinite" - a word that is used to represent deity. The author assumes every reader will be working with some sort of deity when using a pendulum. I don't worship/follow/believe/etc. in any deity myself therefore I don't ask for their help or permission to do anything. The book (especially in later chapters) where it touches on any "advanced" sort of working with pendulums is not very helpful, truly. There is a paragraph or two with a chart accompanying it. The chart is so small that you cannot even see most of what is printed on there and it is not mentioned in the text either. What I did not know (it doesn't mention this anywhere in the description of the book when purchasing online) is that in order to see any of these charts you need to buy a separate book that is only these charts (more expensive than the instruction book at full price I might add).

An interesting introduction to this particular form of dousing. He states emphatically at the beginning that the power is not in the pendulum, that the pendulum is just a visible response to your Intuition. He doesn't quite stick to this throughout the book. I read the first third and skimmed the rest. I think I would like to read more about dousing for water.
