Hi guys!! Sorry I haven't been active at all lately! A lot of changes (good ones thankfully) are happening in my life and I have been super busy. But I wanted to say hi!!

Teapot Terrarium

so you wanna pendule...um?

(aka the biwitched guide to using a pendulum)

What is a pendulum? most of the pictures you’ll see on tumblr show pointy crystals on a chain. but any weighted object with a string can turn into a pendulum! my broke self uses a metal ring on a string! 

Pendulums can be used for divination, and/or connecting with spirits, entities, deities etc. 

How does it work? (this is pretty much just my theory but hey) a pendulum works by tapping into your energy, and consequently the energy of the world around us! when you ask a question, it will give you an answer based on which way the energy is headed at that specific moment (which means it’s not always right, our world is so changeable) 

When you’re doing readings for yourself, I find at least, it taps into your subconscious, it can be very enlightening! 

I’ve also heard when you’re doing readings for yourself, it moves from micro-pulses in your fingers so if someone has a source on that, cool. 

If you are using a pendulum to contact another entity, that entity’s energy will be influencing the pendulum’s swing. 

How do I use one?

1. Before I do any divination or energy work - I get into the zone by opening my chakras, you can just meditate if you prefer !

2. Hold the end up the pendulum’s string or chain in between your thumb and forefinger

3. If this is your first time using your pendulum, you will have to program it:

ask a series of simple yes or no questions to which you know the answer (e.g. are my eyes brown, do i like cats, am i eighty years old) 

pay attention to what the pendulum does for yes questions and no questions

try the same thing with true/false statements

now you have a sense of how your pendulum answers questions (e.g. my pendulum swings away from me for a no, and side to side for a yes. some people’s pendulums swing clockwise/counter clockwise!)

4. You’re ready to pendule! (making that the official verb)

If you want, you can use a pendulum board! It is a small board with letters and/or numbers. You may be able to spell out a word! (works best with pointy pendants.)

Troubleshooting:

pendulum is not moving?

sometimes movements are really subtle, don’t discount any slight movement!

you may have to wait longer, it could be mulling over an answer

there could be an energy blockage, try cleansing your pendulum (or yourself!)

your pendulum might not want to answer, best to move on to a different question, or a take a divination break!

inaccurate answers?

practice makes perfect, i’ve been doing this for 6 years! and i was pretty crap when i started

word your question differently or try wording it as a statement your pendulum can agree or disagree with

sometimes, you’re just wrong - it’s okay

hands shaky/worried you’re moving it yourself?

steady your arm on a table, chair, and just let the fingers holding your pendulum hang off the edge!

if you’re confident in your energy skillz you can try hanging it from an object, put your hands underneath or either side and focus your energy on it! 

trust yourself and your intuition friend

If nothing is working

“program” your pendulum again (some days I have to do this between every question

try a different pendulum! if it’s a crystal - maybe you aren’t connecting well! Maybe even make your own (like my circle on a string) you may connect better with it!

today just might not be the day, don’t fight it - your pendulum is your friend

and remember major life decisions are best made with careful thought, planning, and research, not pendulums!!!!
