What is the halachic opinion on divining rods?

Someone i know recently got into this practice- basically there are copper handles with rods in them, and while I’m pretty sure they’re usually used for connecting with spirits they said they “name their guardian malach” (apparently the one that’s in the womb with you?) and ask it a series of yes or no questions.

I agreed to try it because 1. I honestly don’t know 2. I always feel guilty saying no to this person since they then exclude me because I try to stay far from things that can be confused with witchcraft.

No berating answers like “are you serious??” please. I won’t deny that I’m very skeptical but I’m more worried that I violated the issur of not doing witchcraft than anything else. And no, I’m not sefardic.
