How to use a divining pendulum?

An object as elegant as it is mysterious animated by a hypnotic gyrating movement... How does the pendulum work, this esoteric object used for centuries, both for healing and for divinatory practice ?

The principle is quite simple. The pendulum consists of a weight, usually made of natural stone or brass, hung on a chain. The swinging or rotating movement of the pendulum is supposed to translate a message from the subconscious , or to give information on the energies present.

We can thus use a mineral pendulum to ask questions on a specific subject, for a magnetism session, to evaluate the vibration rate of a place, to carry out research on a map, or even in addition to a divinatory practice such as the tarot .

How to hold your pendulum?

An easy method, ideal for beginners, is to simply hold the pendulum chain between your thumb and index finger. Take a deep breath while trying to stay as still as possible, then ask your pendulum a closed question, i.e. one requiring a “Yes/No” response. Let it move. The pendulum can then perform a swinging movement or oscillations.

The direction of rotation or pendulum should correspond to an answer. For example, clockwise movement means "Yes", while counterclockwise movement means "No". In all cases, let your intuition and your feelings guide you when using the pendulum .

Once you're done, all you have to do is purify the pendulum and recharge it before the next use.
