Rods

Hi Terri, sorry it took me so long to respond to your question, it has been a busy Thanksgiving week for me. The Rods have been a wonderful tool for me to use in my communicating with those wacky wonderful spirits that I have come in contact with. The cool part about the rods is anyone can use them with a bit of practice.
The rods I use are light weight and 12 inches long from tip to the bend in the metal rod. The base has plastic covers which allow the rods to move freely in my hands and the plastic covers are the only part I touch when using them. The rods themselves are made of copper which seems to be a good conductant for what I do. How do they work? God only knows. People have theories out the wazzo on how they work with spirits but theories are just that theories, idea's that we humans come up with in trying to explain the unexplainable. The only thing I do know is that they work for me.
You asked about charging up rods, I have never had to do anything to my rods to get them to work. I do sage my rods after investigations just to get rid of any negative energy that may be around them. I saged them after the Burlington case and when we were at the bridge with the dark entities and other times as well.
I feel spirit energy so I don't need them for finding the spirits but they can be used for that. I find where the spirits are and start asking yes or no questions for the most part. I tell the spirits to cross the rods for yes or to leave them straight for no. When the rods meet just at the tips it usually means the spirits don't know the answer. I do get pictures in my mind and can tell if the spirit is male or female most times by the feel of the energy. Names are another thing I am able to pick up on and with the help of the rods I get the answer confirmed faster. For me it's like putting a puzzle together with all the different information I gather while talking to a spirit.
One last comment on the rods before I end this. Can one become possessed by using rods as a form of communications and are they the same as using the Ouija board? This is my own personal opionion and nothing more so take it as that...I am totally against using the Ouija board due to the fact that I believe that it not only contacts spirits that are in the area but it also contacts spirits that are outside of the area that is being haunted and that it contacts both good and negative entities. It is an open line for anyone or thing that happens to tune in at that time. How does the Ouija work? I have no idea and won't know until I'm dead. The rods on the other hand seem to only contact those spirits that are in the imediate area at least for me. I have tried to use them in non haunted areas and have had no response from them even when trying to contact a long departed relative.
Can one become possessed by them? I don't believe you can, or at least no more then by walking into a haunted place with your defenses down. If you leave yourself open when investigating to negative entities then you run the risk of them messing with you or invading your space and your being.
I hope this answers your questions and I hope you have fun with your rods...Any other questions you or anyone has please let me know..
Many blessings to all and have fun out there

Hello Terri, this is spooked 1. I saw your post about Dowsing Rods and offer what i know about them. Iv'e never used them to try and locate a ghosts or spirits, but i totaly think it's possible.
I have used them for my work. For many years i worked in the underground industry. Buried conduit. Phone lines utilites, etc..
I use Rods to find and locate buried phone cable. It's buried up to four feet undergroud.They make a peice of equipment that costs thousands of dollors to find buired cable. But i only the Rods because they are so accurate. The Rods will locate anytime the earth below has been disturbed. Known to find, water, oil, etc. Like if you were to dig a trench or hole say three or four feet below. And then bury it up. The Rods will locate that trench. Or locate anywhere there is a cavity in the earth. Try it yourself. I use my Rods to find my buried sprinkler conduit for repairs. Just start from a distance you know there is no conduit, and slowly and steady start walking to your sprinkler line. You'll find that they cross everytime. Try it also to locate your utility lines that are buried on your property. Ussaly they are running under your driveway two or three feet from the sidewalk.You can also find out how far down the the object or cavitiy is. When the Rods are crossed at their strongest point. Slowly back up toe to heal. Count each step 1 foot. When the Rods are totaly uncrossed, add the feet you counted and that will give you how many feet below the object is. If you really want to see your Rods cross for sure. Walk out into the street and walk over the main sewer line. Works everytime.

So what i guess im trying to say is. There are normal reasons why the Rods cross besides the paranormal.
The earth has metals in it, and is made of energy itself.
Ghosts or spirits are to beleive to be made of energy.
So in a sense the Rods are still locating energy.
Now this is all just "My" theory. And fact at work.
Of course if you really want to know the truth about Rods. Just Google it. Google is God.

absolutely good information to know, Donna. i as well appreciate your personal view on Rods..

i was wondering, recently i went on an investigation in a private residence, and a woman who is a "sensitve" was invited along. she performed using a ring on a string, wrapped around a finger, and asked questions that way. the ring would swing clockwise for "yes" and counter-clockwise for "no". i was fascinated by this..as i've not seen this done before, although i'm sure it's been used by some.
have you ever done this? is it a safe way to get answers?

just wondering. i realize alot of our questions cannot be answered until we pass from this beautiful earth we call home.

ps: thanks Spooked_1 for your valuable input. quite interesting

Thank you for the infor donna and spook. Like I said before I do have rods and have just ordered another set before this reply with the white tips and are just as you discribed Donna. I have worked with pendilums before with much luck so I thought I would try out the rods. I was just not sure on charging them so thanks so much. I too will sage after every outing as I do with my pendilums as well as myself LOL. I only need these other things also when I can't seem to get the spirits to talk to me directly. I can always feel them and sometimes see them and yes its nice when they will talk to you too I know. But when all that falls through or they don't have enough energy for that I can see where the rods would come in handy. I am glad you said what it meant when they crossed just at the tips, mine have done that a few times now I know why 😁 .

As far as using them to look for water or cable lines I will have to try that to to see if it works LOL. Thats where rods confuse me. I have the copper ones. Where you hold one in each hand like donna. I was trying to figure out how do you know if they are crossing because of spirits, water, or metal? Thats the main reason I was wounding about programming them. I didn't know if you had to or could program them strickly for spirits. I have also heard of people using them to find lost objects. I looked on-line and they have different looking kinds of rods. Google and I are best friends . I got the ones like I think I need but will see if it works for other things too.

As far as the ring on a string..........yes you can do that and I have. It takes the place of a pendilum if you don't have one. It has to be a ring you wear all the time. Like you can take your wedding ring and tie a string on it. You want the string about 6'' at least. Rest your arm on a table or the arm of a chair then hold the string between your index finger and your thumb and tilt you hand down. Now I ask the spirts show me your yes answer. Now show me your no answer. I do the same thing with a pendilum. Most will swing front to back for yes and sideways for no. But some will go in a circle. Then test it to see if it is ready. Ask it a few question that you know to be no and and a few you know to be yes. If it answer right or at all then it is set or you will be able to do it. My first question after it is set is always ...........Is it OK to ask the spirits here some question? If I get a yes answer then I go from there. But I always ask permission first. Also after every question say thank you and the ring or pendlum will stop and wait for your next question. After your done with all your questions just again tell the spirits thank you for there time and help or however you want to end it. And if you are doing this in your home or where ever and want to be extra careful just keep sage lite while you are asking your questions. And if anyone wants or needs to know how to clean crystals used for pendlums or just ones you put in you home let me know and I can tell you.
Thanks again everyone! 😁

aaa.. very interesting Terri! i am fascinated by this ring on a string thing. i'm not scientifically versed as some, and therefore have a harder time grasping energy etc etc.. but my learnings are coming along. haha! open minded, i have to be.
as far as using "sage", i have not used anything other than a protection and thankyou prayer. the religious side of me. i believe it works. i am however, going to ask around about the use of sage here..for there are a number of places that can help me with that.
as for ettiquette? oh yes! thank you and please.. i never forget. haha!

Interesting usage of ring on a string. I've only ever seen my mother do it with a washer on a string to check the sex of newborn kittens. If it goes in a circle it's a girl, if it goes in a straight line it's a boy.

I also am a firm believer in prayer. I also wear my cross that is hematite on one side and turquoise on the other side. There are many different amulets one can get for protection. Its up to each person to chose the one or ones that they feel best with. I would rather be over protected then not protected enough or at all. 😁 .

good point Terri on every investigation I bring roseary beeds and holy water from my local church..but really I think its also important for anyone who investigates to make sure that they are in the right frame of mind prior to arriving at the location.

THE WATER IS THAT WAY !!!

Yes you are right. Being and staying in the right frame of mind is very important I totally agree. And if at any point you feel sick or tried its time to get out ASAP. Because at that point your defences are down.

THE WATER IS THAT WAY !!!

where?!

NORTH , YOUR GOING THE WRONG WAY !!!
