I'm searching for a reliable yes or no divination method. I've come across some ideas like using a spinning pencil or a coin flip, but I'm hoping to learn about different techniques that others might have found effective. Any suggestions?

I love using the outdoor method! I walk around my yard, thinking about my question, and check the sticks. If they cross, it’s a yes; if they touch, it’s maybe; if they don't touch at all, it’s a no. It feels really intuitive!

A pendulum is super effective for yes/no questions! Just make sure it swings freely. You can make one easily with a weight on a string—just grab anything sturdy that can hold it. Some people even use fishing weights or nuts tied to yarn.

Coin flipping is another classic! It’s straightforward: heads for yes, tails for no. Just keep in mind it’s based on 50/50 odds, so don’t take it too seriously. Pendulums seem to provide a little more depth, though!

Ever tried using chicken bones? Fold several 'yes' and 'no' papers, place a corn kernel on top, and see which paper the chicken goes for! It adds a fun twist to divination. Plus, I've seen people pluck flower petals for answers, too. It’s a bit whimsical but can be spot on!
