How to Use a Pendulum for Divination

Pendulums have been used as a tool of divination for thousands of years. Many people gravitate to the pendulum which is one of the easiest diving tools. In this How To we will cover a basic approach to this tool for the purpose of seeking

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• * Pendulum

1. Choose a time to work with your pendulum when you know that you will not be disturbed. Sit comfortably and take a few deep breaths to clear your mind and relax. Focus on your intent. Define your purpose and know what questions you would like to ask. It may help to write out your questions, or key words, beforehand.

2. Once you are focused, hold the pendulum between your thumb and first finger. Some prefer to let the pendulum rest between the first and middle fingers, but I have found that the thumb and first finger work best. Greet Spirit, or whichever power you feel comfortable working with, and ask for guidance with your reading.

3. Over time, you will learn the directions in which the pendulum will respond to your questions. Though as with other forms of divination, your intuition and energies will play a role in establishing the direction of the replies and it is best to ask the pendulum which direction will correspond to which response. As a rule, when dealing with basic yes and no responses, the pendulum generally will move vertically (north to south) for YES and horizontally (east to west) for NO.

4. Be specific and direct with your questions. You can ask the questions aloud, or silently. Though when you pose the questions aloud the energy you put forth comes through more directly than when you ask the questions silently. Take whatever approach you feel comfortable with. We sometimes feel silly speaking aloud when we are sitting alone, but you may be surprised with the results!

5. When you have finished asking your questions, thank Spirit for the guidance you have received. When you have put the pendulum away, go for a walk or find something to do to refocus your mind to the more mundane things in life. This will allow your mind time to process the information received from the reading.

on 1/17/2009 aaahhh! Good article on the electromagnetic energy that our bodies posses, proven fact!!
Controversy!!!!!! Good for the soul,,,ya think?
The use of energy was given to us at conception (this is proven), by God, and slowly "unlearned" by growth, peer pressure, and surroundings.
God also gave us the earth & nature, all our senses, stones, rocks, all the metals, wind-fire-water-rain, sun & moon, the universe, our minds, and free will.
Do you think that God did not intend on us using all of our natural resourses, available to make our lives full???
If you do, then you are going against God's will, and in judging your neighbor, thus going against 'your' religion. Sounds like alot of anger, somewhere in there, 7?
What do you think that prayer is????
A group of people, grouped together, to magnify the amount of energy/prayer/results that can be achieved..... Energy groups do the same

on 12/2/2008 Witchraft is a satanic practice even if performed unknowingly. In fact it often leads to demonic possession and other health problems. While witchcraft is currently being portrayed as a means of empowering a person it in fact surrenders the essence of a person to the will of demonic control. For anyone suffering from the effects of witchcraft there is hope for you in Jesus Christ. It is most important for you to allow for Jesus to save you by your accepting him as your Lord and Savior. Know that he came down from heaven and died to save your life which was dead in sin. This is no laughing matter. Your eternal soul is at stake and the consequences are very real. Please know that God loves you and the threats are very real all along the way but if you put your trust in God thru Jesus you will not only be saved but you will know true happiness like you never knew before.
