Swing

My grandmother used to use a pendulum when I was a kid, but I never really thought about it until I was much older. She used to use it like a parlor game, rather than for divination or anything else. It wasn’t until fairly recently that I really began to understand it more. I belonged to a spiritualist group headed by the late Georgi Streetman, and one of the skills she taught us to use was a pendulum. At first I was very skittish. I had some bad experiences with a Ouija board back in the day, and I didn’t want to open the door to lower vibration entities. The most important thing you need to do is to surround yourself with protective, white light. Technically, you are working with your higher self or spirits, but it’s your subconscious mind that is moving the pendulum around.

 

You can use anything as a pendulum. I have one that I purchased, but my grandmother used a string and some sort of lug nut. Others use their wedding bands on string. I’ve even used my keys in a pinch. It needs a length of string or chain and a weight at one end. When you first start using a pendulum, you need to figure out what directions are being used so you can get answers. You only need to do this once with your pendulum. You need to determine the yes, no, kind of, don’t know, can’t say and ask later directions. The next step is to ask several simple questions you already know the answer to like my name is (fill in) I have (eye color) etc to make sure the directions are working right. You can also use a circle graph to help keep track of answers.

The most important things to remember when you are working with a pendulum are wording and intent. Make sure you ask your questions clearly and concisely. Don’t mess with the pendulum if you already know the answer and just want to “test” it. Don’t ask the same question multiple times during a session, because you are showing doubt. Remember you are tapping into your subconscious with this, so if you have a preferred answer (like with the sex of a baby), the pendulum may lean in that direction, regardless of what the truth is.

The most important thing is never use the pendulum for gambling. That is just not cool, and you are not going to be happy with the outcome. It’s just a huge don’t. Also, don’t use it for bad or ill purposes. That’s not cool either. Once you have been working with your pendulum, don’t let others use it because its tuned to you.

Some things you can use a pendulum for:

TO FIND SOMETHING LOST: 
In a Room - hold the pendulum and ask where the object is located. The pendulum will swing in the direction of the lost object.

In a House - Ask the pendulum, room by room, i.e., is it in the kitchen? yes/no, bathroom and so on until you narrow it down. Then go into the room and section it off.

Outside: 
Ask - "Am I facing the right direction to find... If the pendulum swings foreword or backward, you are moving in the right direction. In circles, move with the circle slowly, until it swings foreword and backward.

HEALTH: 
Ask about each area of your body or ask the aura of someone you want to know about. Keep narrowing down the questions with each answer

RELATIONSHIPS: 
A pendulum can tell you all sorts of things about other people. A photo or personal item of the person in question is a big help, but is not necessary. Just hold the pendulum over the item and ask questions.

PLACES TO GO TO SHOP OR GET REPAIRS DONE: 
Just open the phone book and ask where is the most inexpensive and the best quality place for what you want. Name places and the pendulum will answer yes/no. A pendulum can also be helpful in diagnosing car trouble before pulling everything apart or taking it to a shop.
