Overview of Using a Pendulum
A Pendulum is a tool with many purposes. It can be used for predicting events, cleansing a body or item of negative energies, finding lost objects or water or spirits, diagnosing or healing health issues, along with many other uses! But I'll get to that later.
If you are interested in using a pendulum you should first choose your pendulum. Do you want a store bought pendulum? If so there are literally tons of choices for you. Crystal, wood, metal, shaped or not shaped, ones with compartments for holding items related to your work, ones with chains or string or leather, ones with beads or stones on the chain, etc. Maybe you want your pendulum to be a little more personal? If you have the skills and tools to make one that looks like it was store bought, then go ahead! However, making a pendulum does not have to be so in depth. You can simply put a washer on a piece of string and voila! I have used my pentacle necklace as a pendulum quite a few times. Use what feels right to you.
Once you have your pendulum you should cleanse it of any unwanted energies. There are quite a few ways to do this. Submerging it in saltwater or passing it through smoke a few times is a simple way of cleansing. Even visualizing the negative or unwanted energies leaving it can work. Or if you prefer, you can look up a ritual online or in a book to cleanse your pendulum.
After cleansing your pendulum, you will want to charge it. This means putting some of your energy into it or giving it the energy you want it to have. A few ways to do this are leaving it out under the sun or moon, or burying it. Visualizing your own energy flowing into it also works just as well.
Now that your pendulum is cleansed and charged, we can begin using it! Depending on what you intend on using it for will depend on where you go from here. A basic use, and the one i will cover, has to do with answering questions. When you ask your pendulum questions it responds by moving, either in a circle, back and forth or side to side. By asking your pendulum questions you can come to a decision that you were unsure of, find out the sex of a baby, or find a lost object. Use your imagination and you can come up with all sorts of things.
First, you must find out how your pendulum answers questions. Hold your pendulum chain between your fingers comfortably and let the weighted end dangle a few inches below your hand. Stop any movement of it and then say "Show me yes". Try to keep the answers simple. Your pendulum should begin to sway or spin. Make sure it gets a good movement going before assuming that is the answer! It may start swaying back and forth but that may just be its start to a spin.
If it does not move, try relaxing a little and then ask again. Don't be upset if you aren't getting any movement or are having troubles with it. It takes patience and practice! Just relax, take a few breathes, clear your mind then try again. When you do get your answer, then you can continue with "show me no" then "show me unsure" (or no answer). Whatever you do, do NOT move your hand in an attempt to "get it going". That only interferes.
Once you have all your movements for answers, you may begin asking questions! Try to keep the questions simple and clear. For example: "Is the baby a boy?" If you ask "Is the baby a boy or a girl" your pendulum may become confused. That is unless you asked it to show you boy and girl earlier instead of yes and no.
Remember that it takes patience and a clear mind. I highly doubt anyone can master the pendulum on their first session, and even those who have used it for many years may still run into obstacles. If you begin to get frustrated, take a break. Or, if you are very emotional, calm down and maybe meditate before attempting to use your pendulum. Our emotions can play into the answers of the pendulum, causing unsure answers as well.
This concludes my little lesson on pendulums. Hope it helps :)
