The pendulum is one of the simplest of all divination tools. It is so easy to use that even a young child can learn. It is a simple, yet powerful method that can become as complex as you need it to be. While beautiful pendullums may be purchased in stores, just about anything that you can hang on a rope or chain may be used to make a pendulum. This eliminates the need for ornate or expensive tools.
It is a good idea at the start to limit your questions to those with "yes" or "no" answers. Be simple and specific in the wording you use & hold the question in your mind.
To begin, hold the chain and allow the pendulum to hang freely. Experiment with holding it at different lengths. A longer chain or rope will result in a slower swing than will a pendulum held closer to your hand. If you need assistance keeping your arm up or holding it steady, rest your forearm on your other arm or on a few books piled on top of each other. Be sure the pendulum is still, and take a deep breath, relaxing your body and mind. You may want to ask your spirit guides for their help in this work.
Ask the pendulum to show you a "yes" answer. Take note of the motions the pendulum makes. This will usually be either a circular motion in one specific direction or a side-to-side motion. Then ask the pendulum to show you the "no" answer. This should differ from the "yes" in some obvious way. If it does not, take another deep breath and ask again. Allow enough time for your body and mind to relax so the answers can flow through you and the pendulum.
Once the responses are clear, you may ask your question. If you really want to test it, ask the same question more than once. If you cannot get a clear answer, try to rephrase the question to be more specific.
