PENDULUM
A pendulum is a commumication tool. Personal
items such as rings and pendants hanging on a
chain, string or ribbon can perform well. In a pinch, I have used my car
keys which are on a chain. A crystal or semi precious stone pendulum can
be found online.
Pendulum divination (also known as pendulum
dowsing or scrying) is a method of obtaining answers to questions, determining
probabilities & possibilities, and a useful way of receiving guidance, much
as you would by using tarot cards, scrying mirrors, spirit boards, runes, and
etc.
A pendulum is a tool that hones in on the
psychic powers within each of us. A pendulum can also be used to obtain
information that has been lost to us through repressed memories or have been
forgotten. Pendulums can also be used to reveal truths that we already know,
but have not come to terms with.
The subconcious, as the person's intuitive
self, Spirits, your higher self, may influence, and give correct answers,
through the pendulum. Like any divination tool, however, it may be
influenced by lower spirits who may attempt to trifrom ck you. Just like
asking a human, you should be careful whom you choose to get answers.
Blessing the pendulum decreases the chances of a mal-intented spirit
influencing the pendulum.
CLEANSE YOUR PENDULUM
Whether you have made or
bought your pendulum, it is very important that you purify it. Fill a bowl with
fresh pure water and add a little sea salt. Say a cleansing prayer:
"Purge me from all negative energy. Create in me the cleanest and
clearest of hearts. Renew the highest of spirit within me". Dip both
ends of the pendulum into the water for a few minutes. Rinse with clear water
and dry with a clean towel. On the night of the full moon, place it in
the moonlight and leave it until the following morning.
ENERGIZE and PROGRAM YOUR
PENDULUM
Place it under your pillow
at night and carry it with you for a couple of days in a velvet or silk cloth.
It will tune into your energy. You will then be ready to test its power.
Relax. Place your bent elbow on a sturdy surface. Bend your hand
loosely at the wrist. Holding the chain between the thumb and forefinger, let the pendulum hang down over the palm of your
opposite hand by about an inch. It should not touch anything or anyone.
Make sure your hand and arm are completely still and relaxed. Wait until the
crystal has stopped swinging at the end of the chain before you begin or just
say STOP. Ask a question in which you know the answer is YES. The crystal
should begin to move. Whatever pattern of the movement,
take note that this will always be your YES answer. Repeat the question
to verify. Follow the same steps, asking a question to which you know the
answer is NO. Again, note the movements and this should always be
your 'no' answer. Follow the same steps for a “maybe” answer.
Your pendulum is now ready to work for you.
BLESSING THE PENDULUM
Before each session, the pendulum should be
blessed from stating that only higher beings, my guides, my angels (or whatever
being you wish to contact) may influence the pendulum, to smudging (burning
incense) and other purification techniques. The pendulum should also be
purified after the session, to remove any residue the spirit may have left
behind which may influence the next session.
BEFORE EACH SESSION
Always test the pendulum at the beginning of
the session before asking your questions. "Show me my yes"
Should cause it to swing in one direction; "Show me my No" should
cause it to swing in a different direction. It is also good to tell it to
"Go to center" or "Stop" between questions, so that the
swing of the pendulum won't be influenced by the last question's
response. Once tested, ask the pendulum if it wishes to work with you.
Ask a few trial questions to make sure its working properly. ("Is my name
(your name)?" v.s. "Is my name Superman?")
PROPER USE
Possibly one of the greater benefits of using
the pendulum for divination is that it teaches us to frame questions in a clear
and precise manner - to analyze and simplify situations and desires.
As in all divination techniques, it is important
that questions be phrased clearly, so that no misinterpretation can be made.
"Is it going to rain?" is unclear. "Is it going to rain in
Los Angeles today?" is more apt to get a correct response. If you
are working on personal problems, like a buried trauma, first ask the pendulum
if it can find the problem. If the answer is yes, then structure your questions
to zero in on it.
If you ask a question and the pendulum doesn't
respond, rephrase the question or ask again at another time. Basically, this is
a tool to tap into your intuition, or alternatively, your spirit guide, to get
information. For this reason, it works best if you are asking questions about
things that are in your power to control, i.e. "Should I consider changing
jobs at this time?" or "Is so-and-so someone that I can trust?"
Asking "Will I meet my dream man/woman today" doesn't really work
because that is not something in your personal realm that you can control. And,
unfortunately, it can't give you this week's winning lottery numbers.
If, after several questions, the pendulum
starts swinging in random directions, ask it if it wishes to discontinue the
session. If yes, put the pendulum away and try again another time.
Always treat your pendulum with respect and
show gratitude for the answers it has
given. Back to Misc
