Description
Lacroix-a-L’Henri, Rene. Theories et Procedes Radiesthesiques. Paris: Henri Dangles, 1937. First edition of an early book on Radiesthesia in French.
Early French language explanation and exploration of radionics and radiesthesia including a fascinating idiosyncratic fusion of astrology, pendulums, radio waves, and the bagua hexagrams of the Chinese I-Ching divination system as many as 30 years before such combinations became fashionable.
Although I’m not sure if the phenomenon has ever been seriously studied, it is interesting to note that while radionics remains on the fringe of the fringe in the counter culture of the United States, “radiesthesiques” or radiesthesia is more popular than ever in France. (Search eBay.fr for many amusing results).
Interestingly, the birth chart of the author is featured in the fabulous “Lunar Astrology”.
