ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Join Clara Moss as she explores the fascinating collision between scientific methodology and ancient dowsing traditions in this compelling episode of Pendulum and Dowsing History.

This episode examines the methodological challenges of testing practices that practitioners believe work best in natural environments, the psychological factors that influence dowsing experiences, and the valuable historical documentation that emerged from these scientific studies. Whether you're interested in the history of scientific skepticism, the persistence of traditional practices in the modern world, or the fascinating interplay between belief and evidence, this episode offers balanced perspectives on one of dowsing's most contentious periods.
