I found this guys web site several months ago. He's done a lot of work on it and strikes me as being dead serious about what he does. He's a local guy named David Long. I don't know him and have never even talked to him, but it seems to me that interveiwing him might make a heck of an interesting story.
He's a 21st Century Shaman. He uses many traditional methods, apparently, but has even developed new ones...it would appear his favorite is what he calls "the Diviners Harp".
You might want to visit David's web site for yourself.
