How to use it
-
Set your directions first. Hold it still and ask which way is yes, which is no. Whatever it does — forward and back, side to side, circles — that is your language for this pendulum.
-
Rest your elbow. An unsupported arm produces noise, not answers. Elbow on the table, chain held lightly between finger and thumb.
-
Ask closed questions. Yes and no only. A pendulum cannot answer why, and asking it to will only teach you to over-read.
-
Let it come to a stop between questions rather than steadying it with your hand.
-
Take the chain off your neck to use it — the 8.86 inch chain is the working length, not a necklace length.
✨ Temple Tip — write the question down first
Pendulum work goes wrong when the question drifts mid-swing. Write it on paper before you pick the pendulum up, in one sentence, answerable with yes or no. If you cannot write it that way, the pendulum is not the right tool for that question — and knowing that is already useful.
Questions we get asked
Which stones are available?
Amethyst, black obsidian, green aventurine, clear quartz, tiger's eye, rose quartz, opalite and lapis lazuli — see the product options.
How long is the chain?
8.86 inches, which is the standard working length for dowsing.
How do I know which swing means yes?
You establish it at the start. Hold the pendulum still, ask it to show you yes, and note the movement. Repeat for no. That becomes your language with this particular piece.
What is it made of?
A natural stone hexagonal point with a copper cap under silver plate, and a matching chain.
Can I wear it as a necklace?
It is designed as a pendulum on a short working chain rather than as a necklace. If you want to carry it, most people keep it in a pouch or pocket.
