as far as pendulums, i like to work with them. as far as HOW they work... little vibrations that you cant see or sense course through your body at all time. there is the pumping of blood, the shivering that the hipocampus controls to help regulate body tempurature. and when you hold the pendulum, it swings semingly of its own accord.

what i know is that when i hold it, and i will it to be still, it is. when i ask a yes or no question, it swings. sometimes it changes direction. the changes always happen directly after me asking a question. is it spirit guides using the shivers in a way that makes sense? subtle psyonic powers making it swing? or a really powerful subconscious? i'll leave that to the scientists. hell, i totally accept that there may be no mystical s**t going on at all. what i do know is that it works for me, and if there is a demand for more specific knowledge i guess i can start a thread in the instructions section.

runes always sounded fun 4laugh but i never diddit... do you hafta have the runes carved in stones or somthin? ninja
