I will be starting this thread to list out different divination techniques and explanations for divinations I have used (and some I'm still learning). I will also include how to make your own as Im a firm believer that tools made with your own two hands and personal energy are 10 times as powerful as those bought in a store.
The following is a list of the divinations I have personally used.

“O segredo do êxito é a honestidade. Se puderes evitá-la, consegues lá chegar.”
Groucho Marx
I saw a story on Unexplained Mysteries about a psychic who was able to contact the spirit of a murdered man by clacking to stones together. She was chanting something as she clacked but I was unable to pick up what she was saying. Are there specific words or spells that should be chanted while clacking? How should one select the stones to do this? Are some more useful than others? Where did this method originate and is it still practiced by any particular cultures or ethnic groups? Can this method also be used for shamanic journeying and healing? Where can I obtain more information about this. I've done a search on the web but have not found more than definitions. Thank you.
Do you know where I can get more information about clacking? Are there any specific words that should be chanted when clacking? Can it be used to contact the dead? Can it be used for shamanic journeying and for healing? Are there any particular stones that should be chosen? How to select stones? Should one use stones to which one is particularly drawn, as with crystals? Where did the practice originate and by whom? (i.e. particular cultures or ethnic groups), etc.
