A pendulum and pendulum board are spiritual tools used in divination, that amplify your intuition, providing clarity and insight by tapping into subtle energies. Whether used for answering yes/no questions, dowsing, or chakra balancing, Crystal Pendulums are versatile companions on your spiritual journey. Their gentle swing becomes a channel for the wisdom of your higher self, offering guidance with every movement.
As the pendulum swings, it will begin to gravitate towards the area on the board that represents the answer to your question. Unlike the Ouija board, where the user asks for external guidance to move the planchet, the pendulum board allows you to tap into your own intuition. The deeper you connect with yourself, the more accurate the reading will be.
How to Perform a Pendulum Board Reading
1. Cleanse Your Pendulum: Before using your pendulum, cleanse it to remove any lingering energies. Pass it through incense smoke, place it under moonlight, or use a cleansing crystal like selenite.
2. Set Your Intention: Hold the pendulum in your hand and take a few deep breaths. Focus on your intention for the session (e.g., gaining clarity or balancing energy).
3. Calibrate the Pendulum: Ask simple yes/no questions to establish its directional movements (e.g., “Show me yes” or “Show me no”). Observe how it swings—this will become your guide.
4. Ask Your Question: Hold the chain between your thumb and index finger, keeping the pendulum steady over a surface. Ask your question and let the pendulum swing naturally in response.
5. Interpret the Movement: Note the direction of the swing (e.g., clockwise, counterclockwise, side-to-side). Trust your intuition when interpreting its messages.
6. Store Safely: When not in use, store your pendulum in a protective pouch or box to preserve its energy.
Pendulum board readings are good for:
- Daily Guidance: Ask simple yes/no questions to clarify decisions.
- Chakra Balancing: Use the pendulum to detect energy blockages and restore harmony.
- Meditative Practices: Incorporate pendulum work into meditation to deepen focus and intuition.
- Space Clearing: Pair with smudging rituals to identify and cleanse stagnant energy.
*Witchy Tip: relaxing music, candlelight, and sage or incense can help set the environment for deeper meditation.
