SOLVED. MetaPhysics Dowsing Pendulum book by husband and wife last name Llewellyn. [s]

[Don]

I'm in search of a book that I read that was printed in the 50s from England but the Authors were from the Theosophical time period so it so it could have been written earlier.

it is about dowsing but mostly talks about pendulums and written by a husband and wife team with the last name of Llewellyn

The most interesting aspect was they experimented with different lengths of cord and found the pendulum rotate at certain lengths for certain things like Silver was 40" as was death.

https://www.llewellyn.com/ is a publishing company that might have the book you're looking for.

[Don]

Sadly I have looked. As a matter of fact, the Llewelyn company is one of the reasons this is so difficult because when I try to search for the author Llewelyn it keeps bringing up the published Llewelyn:)

Have you tried using worldcat's advanced search? You can put Llewellyn (or however it's spelled) in the author field and limit it by publication years.

HA! Sometimes you can't win for losing!

Just to be clear, you think this book was written in the late 1800's?
You mentioned Theosophy - do you think the authors was members of that movement?

[Don]

I think they were from that movement but from the surrounding text, I got the impression they were from the 2nd movement. I know the book I read was from the 50s and I got the impression they lived between the 30s and 50s.

I have not tried worldcat, I'm trying that now.

Thanks

Here's a link to the Theosophy bookstore which is called The Lucis Trust - hope it has the book listed that you're looking for :D

Don is still looking for this book:

"This is an old book around the time of the beginning of the philosophical society using pendulum dowsing.

It had tons of experiments with different lengths of cord resonating with different things like Gold, Water and such. What I remember was that 40" resonated with death but not time and yet 80" resonated with time."

You're looking for TC Lethbridge's The Power of the Pendulum.

[Kris]

Brief description of Genesistrine's suggestion in this later edition - The Power of the Pendulum by Thomas Charles Lethbridge.

[Genesistrine]

The string lengths/vibration stuff is all Lethbridge's experimentation. I don't know if Llewellyn is a mistaken memory or whether they're people who wrote a later book incorporating Lethbridge's work, though.

[Don]

That is totally it! Yes, I read this thing like 40 years ago and must have stuck with Llewelyn because of the publishing company.

Thank you SO much. Now to find it cheaper that $35 for paperback :)

[Don]

And thank you Kris for moving the topic. I had forgotten I'd asked already.

[Kris]

No worries. You're welcome.

[Genesistrine]

The Essential T. C. Lethbridge by Tom Graves incudes a fair bit about Lethbridge's dowsing experiments, if you can find it for cheaper.
