dice divination

i was just in the bathroom, trying to contact bune in my mind and asked him what i could do in order to obtain what i asked of him and all of the sudden i was injected with a thought about dice divination. i have never read about it or thought about it before. when i googled it there was actually a lot of information about it. ill have to read up on it. i just now got a thought about getting several dice to use in picking lotto numbers. ill give it a try.

not-praying experiment

i havent personally prayed in about 3-4 weeks now because i want to experiment with a period of non-prayer. i have prayed some times with my children when they ask, but no personal prayers.

drømmeurt (calea zacatechichi) experience

20100611
my tongue has been itching and has little sores on it. it started maybe about a week ago. i wonder if it has anything to do with chewing on the cz leaves? i search for "itchy tongue" and the only explanation for touch itch listed is contact dermatitis. im going to try to rub some of the cz on my arm to see if i get a rash.

20100609
i still havent drunken any cz tea since june 3, but last night i was able to change my fate and stop somebody from killing me in my dream =) i was a witness in a court trial and the evil defence attorney (played by Frank Langella) didnt want anyone to attend the trial, but i showed up anyways and he got all angry at me and looked like he was going to kill me, but i remained calm and told him that if he touched me i would sue his ass of so he just got upset and went into a closet and yelled at the top of his lungs... =) i also remember snowboarding or skiing or sliding down a snowy mountain.

20100607
last night i dreamed that i could fly! i havent had any CZ since june 3 though, but it was a cool feeling to fly! then at then end of my dream i couldnt fly anymore for some reason. i tried, but it was like i wasnt psychically strong enough in my dream to do it. weird. i remember that C James was in my dream and her sister M. i also remember being inside a huge shopping mall and there was some construction on one side so i had to go out of the parking lot on another side and walk to my car a ways. i also remember being chased/hunted. i think i also was inside the lds church building in KWA where i used to go to church as a teenager.

20100604
was too tired to drink cz tea last night, dont remember anything from my dreams.

20100603
drank some fresh cz tea last night, dont remember anything from my dreams.

20100602
last night i tried reusing the cz leaves i used 2 nights ago while watching more of the shining (im still not done). when i was done drinking it i took the leaves out of the little ball and chewed on them and sucked whatever i could out of them, then threw them away. i can honestly not remember anything from my dream, but i have a feeling that i remember feeling like i had control of a particular situation in my dreams.

20100601
i fell asleep last night before i could drink some cz tea and i specifically remember in my dream where my brother in law had 2 girls all over him, rubbing his chest and giving him attention and i felt like that was unfair =) in other words, i didnt have control over that situation. there seems to be a connection here =)

20100531
had another cup of CZ last night while watching more of the shining. again, i felt like i was in control of some elements of my dreams, or i never felt out of control. interesting. still nothing else extraordinary though. i have been wondering if i should just chew the leaves. i tried chewing just a little piece of a leaf and it was super strong, so i actually doubt i would be able to put a little handful in my mouth and keep it there for very long... tonight i am going to try to recycle the leaves i used in my tea last night to see if that works or if i need to use new leaves every day.

20100530
last night i drank CZ tea while watching the shining. during my sleep i again experienced "control": a neighbor lady was chasing me trying to kill me and i successfully overpowered her and killed her. i smashed her into a little compartment of flesh just like this recycling commercial here in norway about a woman who does that to all her boyfriends.
i also was able to convince an unwilling fashion director to let me give her a full body sensual massage. i seriously cant remember ever really "getting what i want" in my dreams, at least when met with blatant opposition, where i then could turn the situation to my favor. i feel that maybe this CZ gives me that ability somehow. other than that, i have noticed no other effect. my dreams are not in any way more vivid so far.

20100529
last night i drank a cup of CZ tea. i filled up one half of a little metal-mesh ball and filled my cup up about 70% of the way. the tea is really bitter. before i went to bed i told myself several times that the next time i was going to be conscious that i would be able to control my dreams and that i would fly. what i did notice during my dream was that i actually got away from my chaser. i usually never get away, but this time i did. that seemed to be something different from the norm.

tonight i am drinking the tea again to see if the effect will get any stronger.

btw, i ordered the herbs from denmark and they got here to norway 2 days later without any trouble.

miraculously saved during dangerous fall

my 1 and a half year old son was running by the top of the stairs and tripped and fell all the way down to the bottom. i heard him as i lay on the couch reading and jumped up, but for some reason i was pretty calm. he miraculously did not get hurt in any way, not even a bruise, even though the stairs are wooden with a super thin carpet layer in the middle of each individual step! he cried out of fear, but was completely fine 2 minutes later after i held him a little and went on as if nothing happened =) he even crawled down the steps a couple of minutes later =) thanks to who-/whatever protected him during the fall =)

rolling thunder healing for isaac bonewits

i did the rolling thunder healing here from norway last night. i was sitting on the couch with 2 minutes to 9 and all of the sudden i got an idea:
go ask your 2 sons if they want to help you with the ritual.
they were downstairs playing wii, so i was thinking "ok this will be interesting"
then i got another idea. i remember hearing/reading about how people "need" ritual, so i felt i should take with me 3 small tea-lights (candles) and light them with the boys; maybe that would help get their interest? =)
it proved to be true. they both broke away from the wii and we sat in a triangle on the floor and each of us lit our own candle and put it on the ground in front of us. before we started i explained that a very famous an important writer was very sick and we were going to do a remote healing ritual for him. we all held hands then i said that they were going to repeat with me the mantra:
isaacs tumors fade away, 30 more years with phae
and that we were going to say it 8 times. i had read earlier today about the number 8 and was quite impressed by what i read and it seemed totally appropriate being the ultimate sign of "longevity": eternity!
as we started saying the mantra we started out slow and then a THIRD idea came into my head: say it with a smile and be happy, it will help raise the energy =)
each time we repeated the mantra we did it faster and faster too (the fourth idea i got =)
when we were done we blew out the candles and i took them upstairs.
upstairs my wife and i have a little chest of drawers where we light candles usually every night. and i felt i should light the 3 candles we used in the ritual so i put them next to the candles already on the chest of drawers and counted them up. guess how many there were total? yep, 8 =)

quite the little experience. get well quickly isaac! =)

bim/bune evocation 2 experience

this time (20100519, i think i started around 0030 or 0100) i tried to do it a little more by the book than my first evocation of bim. this time i didnt address him as a duke of hell only as a duke.

i started out by going to the grocery store and getting some food and drinks i thought he might like (i was totally going on intuition though since it was a last minute idea i got while driving to my office to do the evocation), this is what i got:
banana (it was still a little green)
watermelon (green on the outside)
a melkesjokolade (the best norwegian chocolate, i got the biggest bar i could find)
a pack of my favorite brownies
a little bag of pistachio nuts (my favorite nuts, they are also green)
the best brand of juice (made by nora). i got the citrus and lime flavor (green)
an energy drink (energy for Bim) called Burn (in a can)
green paper plates
green plastic cups
green plastic forks and knives
flowery green napkins
long green candles

i couldnt get any nice alcoholic drink for Bim because it was after the cutoff time for sale of alcohol here so i improvised. but when i asked him during the evocation using my pendulum if he liked and accepted my offering i got a yes.

here are some pictures of my evocation setup.


this time i used a circle and chose 4 god names off the top of my head and wrote them down in the 4 quarters of the circle, but after doing the LBRP i realized, maybe i should have used the god names mentioned there? it would have at least been symbolically "tighter" (although next time ill just use what is in the goetia. can you believe i forgot to bring that text with me? =).

this time i took a special robe/shirt with me and washed my face, ears, nose, mouth and hands before i started the ritual.

i chalked 3 times around for my chalk circle (i need to get something better/nicer soon). the floor of my office is concrete and the ceiling is like a 4 meter high half-dome shape, so when im vibrating names it echoes like crazy and sounds really cool! =) my office is about 45 m2 and has kind of a dungeon feel to it =) i visualized a long time that i would get this office at a good price because the initial offer was way too high and i got the owner to go way down so i feel like magick was used to get the place and it felt good to do magick IN the place last night, for the first time =)


i had the book modern magick with me just in case i needed a reference for something. in there it mentioned the tools to have on my altar in the circle so for my dagger i had a sword, for the cup/water i had a green plastic cup filled with bitter lemon schweppes soda, for fire i used the hazel wand i ordered from jake and for earth i used the food (my portion of the offerings for bim. its supposed to be like a date right, like someone mentioned? i couldnt let Bim "eat" alone =) since watermelon and nuts and banana come from the earth. (i thought at least it was a clever improvisation =)

i had an audio recorder going the whole time (1 hour and 7 minutes) so it will be interesting to listen to that recording and see if it picked up anything interesting during the ritual...

this time i hung one of the sigils around my neck (the recommended one for bim) and put the other one on bims altar. i had to use my shoelace because i couldnt find any string. sometimes i feel like macgyver. jk. =)

the format of the ritual was this:
lbrp
evoke
use pendulum to communicate with bim
ask if he accepts and likes my offerings
ask if he is willing to help me with my particular task
ask specific questions about my task
eat the food and drink (while staring into the black mirror and sitting in my chair)
thank bim and give license to depart
lbrp

the wording was completely impromptu
when i was looking at the black mirror, the candles produced an interesting afterimage effect, it was completely white inside the black mirror circle. funny thing was that i had read earlier that day specifically about the afterimage effect, on wikipedia =)

the MOST interesting thing that happened, other than the sometimes-really-strong responses i got on my pendulum was when i started the actual evocation. right when i started speaking the words of the evocation lots of black smoke suddenly came out of the left candle and lasted for like 2-4 seconds. they had already been burning for probably 15-20 minutes and i hadnt noticed anything like that before or after. the timing seemed too good to be a coincidence. it was pretty cool =)

reflecting back on the ritual i think i should have used a little more time "courting" instead of going right to "business", so i think ill do that next time. also i have a couple of questions now that i wished i had asked during, so i think ill take some time to write out questions beforehand...next time.

update 20100520
results:
i dowsed (asked bim) for lottery numbers for the viking lotto and got these numbers:
4 6 9 12 19 22
with the lucky number being 19
the lucky number turned out to be 1
and the winning numbers were:
3 5 15 23 30 46
with extra numbers:
13 36

the difference between the numbers is thus:
1 1 6 7 11 14

the difference between the lucky numbers is:
18

the difference between the extra numbers and the closest numbers to them is:
1 (13-12) 14 (36-22)

Q. can i expect to get bim to be able to influence the pendulum or my subconscious when i sit inside a protective circle?

pendulum dowsing for lottery numbers, 201005190845

i just asked what the lykketall (lucky number) will be for the viking lotto drawing here in norway tonight and i got a yes on the number 19.

i also asked how many winners there would be and i got 2.

update 2219
result: the lucky number was 1 and there was only 1 winner.

wax inspiration

my son wanted to a play his super mario brothers game on wii, but when i put it in it wouldnt read the disc. i took it out and looked at it, it was scratched up pretty good in one place. thinking hard about what i could do in that situation, i suddenly got an idea (i feel it came as inspiration) to melt some candle wax on the dvd and rub it in to fill the cracks. i went with it and polished away all the wax so it wouldnt ruin the laser reader inside the wii box, put it in and VOILA! the game worked =)
i love moments like that, it makes me feel "connected" if you know what i mean =)

and my son was so happy he jumped into my arms and gave me a big hug and was smiling and genuinely happy =)

72 goetia spirits wordle

i just made this wordle of the 72 goetic spirits using the 72 demons list

when did masturbation become a sin in the mormon church?

masturbation is not once mentioned in any of the standard works and is not even mentioned in the corpus of LDS General Conference talks (1851-2010) until the 1960's:

http://corpus.byu.edu/gc/

search for "masturbat*" (without quotes)

It was Spencer W. Kimball who first made it into an issue.

The following is supposedly from D. Michael Quinn's book, 'The Mormon Hierarchy : Extensions of Power':

"
18 June, 1870 - First counselor George A. Smith tells Salt Lake School of the Prophets about "the evil of Masturbation" among Utah Mormons. Apostle Lorenzo Snow says that "Plural Marriage would tend to diminish this evil self-pollution," and he believes that "indulgence on the part of men was less in Plural marriage than in Monogamy."
"

great moments in mormon history

think positive

yesterday i planned to take my kids to the traveling carnival downtown. when we had driven all the way down there i had forgotten that i had loaned my card to my wife so we had to drive all the way back home to get it. my wife gave me my card and 100 kroner in cash cause i felt i should take some cash with me for some reason. we drove back to downtown and when i went to take out some cash i only had 122 on my card and the machine wouldnt let me take out any less than 200 so i was like "grrrr". i knew that it would cost more than 100 to get 3 tickets for the kids to go on at least 1 ride each, so as we were walking over to the carnival i decided to think positive and see what happens. i thought to myself "i might be able to pay with my card" although i wasnt sure. it turned out that they did have a card terminal, but they were closing in 10 minutes so for some reason they couldnt use it, so i looked the guy in the booth straight in the eyes and kindly asked "i have 3 kids here and i only have 100 kroner, im short 20, is there any way you could give me a deal?" and he said "well if i have 20 kroner in my pocket" and he reached into his pocket and to his and my surprise he had a 20 kroner coin and he put it on the table and gave us 3 tickets =) my oldest child really wanted to go on the roller coaster (it wasnt a big one, but for them it was big) so all 3 of them got on. i was a little worried about my youngest though and sure enough once it started to go he looked really uneasy and pretty soon started to yell for me and cried the whole way =) luckily it was only 3 rounds =) but when we got home he seemed proud of himself and told my wife about it and said "tør du det mamma?" (do you dare to do that mamma?) =)

the funny thing was that my wife was saying she didnt want to go to the carnival because she thought the men looked like criminals, but the guy at the booth was at least really nice and actually gave us money =)

separation of church and state? mormon prophets doing freemason handshakes with US leaders

i found an interesting picture of president monson and george w bush doing the masonic/patriarchal grip handshake.

and heres one of dick cheney and gordon b hinckley doing the same handshake.

my goetic evocation experience of the demon duke of hell Bune / Buné / Bim / Bime

i did an evocation last night (20100502) of Bune.

here are some resources that i read before doing the evocation:
goetia (scroll down to bune)
allan fullers evocation of bune
everyones tired of bune
the many faces of bune
physical evocation of bune dream followup
conjure sorcery with bune
evp and evocation (bune mentioned)
bune
bune (wikipedia)

i didnt do the lbrp or use a circle. i opened simply with a prayer to god for protection and also during the evocation i commanded bune to not do me or anyone around me or anyone i love any harm. i didnt use a triangle either, i simply placed my black scrying mirror on a chair in front of me.

my intention with this was to not limit myself psychologically. also for the sake of science, to see how it would go since i havent found very many practitioners writing about doing it this way, ive most read about great warnings and caution and scare-stories. i also took no regard for time or astrological implications. i performed the ritual last night, 20100502 at about 2 am. according to my computer clock i used about 2 hours and 15 minutes trying to get a response, stating my will, etc and also meditating. but i swear it seemed only like i was only operating for like a half hour, it was crazy.


i just drew both of his sigils onto normal white paper instead of using a kind of metal (also i had no access to anything else) and had them in my hands, as well as a wand, made by athena from enochian.org. i also had made a little talisman from the book of power (from the book the secret lore of magic), supposedly something solomon had used to ward off evil and to serve as protection when worn on the left arm:
s d d d c
h t l t b
s d d d c
h t l t b

since i didnt have any tape or safety pins i was like "how in the heck am i going to fasten this to my arm?" then i got an idea to just fold up my sleeve once and then stick the paper talisman down into the fold =)

i did feel a good light energy around me during the operation . i felt safe. at one point i remember hearing a small hissing sound (i hadnt really heard anything at all around here, it is so quiet at this hotel) and my fight or flight kicked in for a split second out of pure normal reaction to something new and i flinched for a half second, then smiled, but i dont remember feeling afraid, just startled. i dont know what the sound was or if it was something outside. anyways i just continued after that.

at one point i thought i might have heard his dark voice inside my talking to me, but i wasnt sure if it was just me or not, but i remember the voice was definitely distinct sounding and not my voice, but again, im not sure if it was me or not creating the voice. but actually now that i think of it i am almost sure that it was him at least at one point because i remember i was struggling to know how to pronounce his name, i was kind of switching between bune (pronounced boon) and buné (pronounced boon-ay) and bim (i had read somewhere that he was also know as that name) and i distinctly remember a thought/voice entering my head, that wasnt my own saying "just use bim instead, then theres no confusion", because i was asking him how to pronounce his name.

at certain points i kind of felt a presence of some kind of energy (and i also often got chills), but i ended with a command that he do my will that i had expressed to him and gave him a deadline by next sunday, all the while showing respect, but still being authoritative.

i ended by simply banishing all ill-intended energies and entities from my hotel room, then i drew in the air with my wand a pentagram and a hexagram. before i started i turned on my zoom h4n recorder and pushed record. to my dismay i had forgotten to push record a second time to actually start recording! grrrrrrrr. i wanted to see if i could pick up any evp during the operation. i am pretty disappointed about missing out on that.

the whole working was impromptu and i said what i felt, i followed no script and had not written anything down. i concentrated many times on not blinking while staring at the black scrying mirror and also at the sigils (as suggested by carrol poke runyon) and one time while staring at the more complicated sigil everything around the sigil got super white and bright whereas i could almost only see the sigil and i felt like i was drifting into some other dimension, it was crazy, it was as if this world around me was fading away. this lasted for maybe 2-3 minutes. it was interesting, i dont know for sure, but i feel like i was able to delay blinking for like 7-10 minutes at a time, and its like its a little difficult up to a certain point and then its like once you pass that point then it isnt difficult at all and you feel like you can just keep going and going. i eventually would blink willingly to try the retinal burn thing where i superimpose the sigil onto the black mirror.

i also remember a couple of minutes after i was finished, getting a sharp pain inside my head, like headache pain, but only for a split second, like 2 or 3 times. this was exactly what happened last time i tried to evoke a different duke in the bathroom at work, totally impromptu as well, with no circle or anything.

oh yeah, the holy names i felt comfortable working with, evocating by and banishing by are: almighty god, elohim, adonai and agla. i am still personally unsure about jesus/christ/jehova, etc so i didnt use any of those names.


i did a follow up quick conjuration of bune again today (20100503) at about 17:30 and just appended to my will that bune was to carry it out without any negative consequences and without any harm to anyone i love, to anyone in my family (notice the distinction? =) and to any of my friends.

i also set up a little "altar" here in my hotel room on a chair in the corner, with both his sigils resting on top of a larger piece of paper with some instructions/help for bune so he knows at least one area he can try to succeed in to help me, but ultimately the results are up to him, i just wrote out a suggestion for him.

i have to say, i have been feeling a type of "bombardment" on my mind/head ever since the first evocation, coming and going, when i enter the hotel even, and whenever i think about bune. i dont remember feeling anything last night when i went outside in the city and walked around looking for a restaurant with an open kitchen (ive completely switched my day around since i got here, sleeping during the day and "working" at night) i have decided to do an LBRP before i leave the hotel, for their sake. when i meditate though this "pressure" on my mind seems to go away. i dont know if it is my own imagination that is the cause of it, but i have never felt anything like this before.

i guess maybe i should add a warning to anybody thinking about attempting what i did:
***dont try it unless you feel you know what you are getting into.***

i am wondering if maybe i have a "gift" (here me out, im not trying to be proud), or rather i am different than other people i have read about. i recently purchased something from a well-respected practitioner of a certain type of magick. if i wrote this persons name here, many people would know who this person is. ill call this person Larry. i received this item from Larry with a warning not to touch a specific part of it because it is charged with very dangerous forces/energies. i have actually brushed up against this item by accident several times and have felt nothing. i told Larry this and that i dont feel any particular energy from this item at all and he said "that is strange, because i (larry) have never felt a stronger energy from anything i have ever made before. it is actually a good thing then that you dont feel anything because it wont affect you negatively or at least to the degree it would affect other people."

i share this because after thinking about this maybe a warning is in place. maybe not everybody is able to perform an evocation in the manner i described. people are different and tolerate different levels of energy.

update 20100504: i now got the idea today that maybe these sensations in my head are due to me stopping my anti-depression meds while ive been on vacation? ill wait to take them until i get home to see if they continue or not before i start taking my meds again.

update 20100519: the headaches were from me not taking my medication. it has happened several times after this first experience when i have forgotten to take my meds.

read my second bim evocation experience (ill call him bim from now on, instead of bune, since i felt that is what he told me (as a voice in my mind) to call him during the first evocation)

reconnective healing experience

a couple of days ago my wife did 2 successive sessions of (eric pearl) reconnective healing on me over 2 days. when she started the first session i immediately smelled a weird burning smell. i didnt notice anything else, other than being very relaxed, although i did feel for a short moment an upward pulling sensation on my left leg once.

then i had 2 very interesting experiences with food the other day =) at breakfast i decided to eat some cereal with milk and yoghurt and immediately after starting to eat it (and actually while i was putting it into the bowl) i felt like my body didnt want it, like it was going to make me sluggish so i stopped eating it (i have been eating cereal for 30 years btw). then later on in the evening i found a little grocery store and i was picking out some snacks and food to eat tonight after i got back to my hotel room and i could seriously feel when i picked up certain things that my body didnt want it, like it was pushing the food item away or like 2 magnets with the same pole + to + or - to -, how they push away from each other... pretty weird huh? =)

maybe the reconnective healing has altered me in some way?

my book review of the pendulum kit by sig lonegren

i just had a very interesting experience with my own modified version of the three coins exercise on page 27:
i took three 10 cent euro coins and placed them in a triangle formation. one coin was dated 1999, another 2000 and the third 2002. the point of the experiment was to find the coin that had the 2002 date on it.

not knowing which coin was where i told the pendulum to oscillate between the 2 coins that did not have the date 2002 on them. this experiment should then ideally only require one round to find the 2002 coin. it should be the coin that the pendulum does *not* oscillate to.

experiment 1:
it oscillated between 2 coins. when i looked at the 3rd coin, it did not have the date 2002 on it. it should have been the 2002 coin. i decided to try again only this time with the 2 remaining coins and repeated the same command, so i placed the pendulum at the point where the 3rd coin was previously and asked the pendulum to now oscillate towards the coin that did not have the date 2002 on it. this time it oscillated towards the coin that did not have the date 2002 on it. i.e. the first round it gave the wrong answer and the second round it gave the correct answer.

experiment 2:
this time i decided to do the exact same thing only treat the first answer which was "wrong" as the right answer (ultimately picking out the coin with the 2002 date on it using the pendulum). i got the same result this time as well. the first answer was wrong and the second answer was right.

run 3:
i got the exact same result, a third time in a row! the 2002 coin was among the first 2 coins and the second round, it was the coin that the pendulum *didnt* oscillate towards.

wrong first, right the second time. what an interesting pattern! it repeated itself 3 times in a row, 100% effective.

update: i just tried the same thing again and the same pattern emerged for the 4th consecutive time! false the first time and true the second time =)

wow, very interesting. i continued reading in the book and it says on page 28:

put the coin on the table heads up, and hold your pendulum over it. it will go from the search position into your yes response. now turn the coin over, and see how your pendulum goes into a no response. (these responses could be reversed -- it doesnt matter.)

how funny =) thats exactly what i just experienced.

update: now i just tried the "heads up" exercise on page 28. i got the "wrong" answer 7 times out of 10. according to the book this is statistically important. (the 10 cent euro coin had the year 2000 on it). although, i didnt do the experiment 100% correctly because the book says to have a friend who records whether it landed heads or tails and to not let you know the results before the end. i had to keep track of the results myself, so i could see how well the pendulum was responding. ill have to try it again later, with a friend.


update 20100504

pendulum exercises:

1. flip the coin then divine without looking at the result.
year 2000 coin. is it heads up?
3 correct out of 10

2. divine before the coin is tossed.
year 2000 coin. will it be heads up?
6 correct out of 10

3. divine before the coin is tossed. arm resting on thigh. previously arm was held in the air.
year 2000 coin. will it be heads up?
7 correct out of 10

4. coin toss, call it on the back of my hand. no pendulum. only intuition.
7 correct out of 10

5. divine before the coin is tossed. arm resting on thigh. previously arm was held in the air.
year 2000 coin. will it be heads up? is this answer the truth?
1 correct out of 5
this is the closest extreme!


on my plane ride home from holland last night i did an experiment with playing cards:
i put the cards A, 2, and 3 of spades face down and shuffled so i didnt know which was which and placed them on my lap.
i held the pendulum over each one asking "is this the ace of spades?" until i got a yes, asking after every question "is this the truth?"
i did this test 2 times and found the ace both times!

i repeated the playing card test today using the same cards.
round 1: it answered correctly the first card i placed the pendulum over, but i decided this time to check the other ones just in case and the second card i chose the pendulum oscillated stronger so i figured it was that one, but i turned it over and it was the 3.
i then turned the first card over that i got a yes on and it was the ace =)

then things got weird.
round 2: i felt drawn to a specific card so i put the pendulum over it and asked if it was the ace and followed up with the truth question, confirming that "no" this wasnt the ace. i turned the card over and it was the ace.
i decided to try again, the third round, this time taking a "no" as a "yes"

round 3: i again felt drawn to a specific card and ran the test. i got no and it was the ace.

round 4: exact same as round 3.

conclusion: i was drawn towards a specific card and it was the ace, the first card i asked about, every time, irrespective of yes or no. and from round 3-4 it seemed as if my subconscious went into negative mode and knew that i would pick the card i got a "no" on (since thats what i did in round 2) so it gave me "no" on the correct card instead of a "yes".

the mind is a tricky thing =)


"find the hidden object"/triangulation exercise on page 33:
i had someone hide something for me in a room and both times (i did the test twice) i didnt find it using the pendulum.

100-0 scale exercise
i asked about sig's book, how it rates as a beginners pendulum book from 0-100, 100 best and i got about 95-100 =)

i did the A 2 3 exercise again and found the ace on the first try.
then i gave the 3 cards to my coworker and told him to mix them up without showing me and i found the ace on the first try!

then he suggested i try with 5 cards and find a different number. i did this 2 times and failed both times.

i dowsed for winning lotto numbers for norsk tipping lotto tonight and got 4 correct out of 7. one of the other numbers i got was 1 off from one of the 3 additional numbers drawn. i made my own "fan" map/chart like the 0-100 chart in sigs book, but for numbers 1-34.

i just did the zodiac chart dowsing experience and got the following results:
* how is my love life? profound sensitivity (totally matches my personality, and this is something im working on controlling a little better)
* what makes me happy? being understood (im not sure that this is very accurate, it is important to me, but i think what really makes me happy is learning and obtaining my desires and seeing that my family is happy)
* what would be a good career (change) for me now? the pendulum went to "go to zodiac page 62", which them immediately pointed to sagittarius, so i went to that page and it gave me "philosopher" (which i think would totally fit me!)
* what health issues do i need to be aware of? forgetfulness (i at least have a very selective memory =)

but then sig writes immediately after the test these interesting words:

while it is always nice to hear something that confirms what you already know, i urge that you pay most attention to the answer(s) that dont make immediate sense. they are important and should be kept in mind during subsequent readings.

then sig suggests on page 49 that you can dowse your partners love life to see if there is anything you can do to help the relationship, and i got "soul unions"
