Crystal, thank you so much for sharing this history!
My father-in-law now thinks that using dowsing rods is a sin -- so sad! In his day, he was incredibly accurate in using them to find water sources on their New England property.
I keep my pendulum use secret...
I trust that it feels right in my heart and that I'm not using it for any negative purposes, but he's set in his ways.
Anyway, I too tend to gain more insight using my Tarot cards, though I clearly want that "yes" or "no" answer -- even when situations aren't so black and white! Ha!
Are Oracle cards like Tarot cards, or is there a difference? Also, how do you use Runes? I've never used them.
Thanks so much!
A
