GRAHAME GARDNER  Glasgow, Scotland

Grahame is a Professional Dowser & Geomancer. He has been interested in all things esoteric for as long as he can remember, particularly earth mysteries; and has studied and practiced widely across the whole spectrum of Western esoteric tradition,  from shamanism to Kabala.  He taught himself to dowse as a teenager when, after reading Tom Grave's 'Needles of Stone', he made his first pair of L-rods from some coat hangers and proved to his own satisfaction that he could find underground water, cables and other utilities.  Twenty years later, a chance encounter with Sig Lonegren led him to realise that all the different coats he wore could in fact be hung on a single hook 'geomancy'.  Grahame decided to train as a professional geomancer at Sig and Patrick's School of Modern European Geomancy in Glastonbury.  He joined The Labyrinth Society and The British Society of Dowsers at this time.

Grahame is a Professional Member, Registered Tutor and current President of The British Society of Dowsers.  He has written several articles on dowsing and geomancy for their journal Dowsing Today, many of which have been published internationally.  He is based in Glasgow, Scotland.
