Pendulum Dowsing

The Art of Pendulum Dowsing

A pendulum is a weighted object suspended from a chain or string. When held properly, it can swing in different directions to answer questions, making it a powerful divination tool.

Choosing a Pendulum

Pendulums come in many materials:

  • Crystal - Adds the energy of the specific stone
  • Metal - Good for practical questions
  • Wood - Gentle, earthy energy

Choose one you feel drawn to. You can also make one with any small weight and string.

Programming Your Pendulum

Before using, establish what each movement means:

  1. Hold the pendulum still
  2. Ask: "Show me yes" - note the movement
  3. Ask: "Show me no" - note the movement
  4. Ask: "Show me maybe/unclear" - note the movement

Common responses: clockwise = yes, counterclockwise = no, side-to-side = unclear

Using the Pendulum

  1. Clear your mind and hold the pendulum steady
  2. Ask clear yes/no questions
  3. Wait for the pendulum to move on its own
  4. Note the response
  5. Thank your higher guidance
