Here’s my guide on how to work with your pendulum to deepen your connection with this mystical tool.
How to Use Your Pendulum:
Cleansing your pendulum is essential for clearing any residual energies it may have picked up before coming to you. This process helps to reset it, making it a pure channel for your own energy and intentions. Here’s how you can cleanse your pendulum:
Smoke Cleansing: Light some sage, palo santo, or your preferred incense. Gently waft the smoke around your pendulum, envisioning any negative or foreign energies being carried away.
Moonlight Bath: Place your pendulum under the light of a full moon. Let the moon’s pure, luminous energy wash over it, cleansing and recharging it with celestial power.
Crystal Cleansing: Rest your pendulum on a bed of cleansing crystals like clear quartz or selenite. These crystals will absorb any unwanted energies, leaving your pendulum refreshed and ready for use.
Pendulums are enchanting tools that can bridge the gap between the known and the unknown. They move in mysterious ways, responding to the energy around them and within you. Here’s how to understand and interpret their movements.
Pendulum Movements:
– A straight line, moving side to side or front and back.
– Circles, either clockwise or counterclockwise.
Determining Yes or No:
Most questions asked with a pendulum are seeking Yes or No answers. It’s crucial to establish the direction your pendulum will take for each response. Here’s how to do it:
1. Hold the knot of the pendulum’s string between your thumb and middle finger. Use your other hand to gently steady the pendulum’s point or bobber.
2. Focus your gaze on the point. Calm your mind and center your energy.
3. Address the pendulum and clearly state, “Show me ‘Yes’.” Observe as it begins to swing in a particular direction, which could be side to side, front and back, or even in a circle.
4. Next, ask, “Show me ‘No’.” The pendulum should move distinctly, often in a contrasting direction to your ‘Yes’ answer.
Unclear or Unanswerable Queries:
Sometimes, the pendulum will move in circles, indicating that the answer is either not clear yet or not meant to be revealed at this time. This is a reminder to trust the process and understand that some answers require patience or a deeper self-reflection.
Storing Your Pendulum: Safeguarding Its Magick
Proper storage of your pendulum is just as important as cleansing it. Here’s how to ensure it’s kept safe and energetically sound:
- Dedicated Pouch or Box: Store your pendulum in a special pouch or box, preferably made from natural materials like cotton, silk, or wood. This creates a protective sanctuary for your pendulum, keeping it safe and energetically insulated.
- Sacred Space: If possible, place your pendulum in a sacred space in your home. This could be your altar, a special shelf, or any place where you feel a strong, positive energy. This will help maintain the pendulum’s vibrational integrity and keep it aligned with your spiritual practice.
The key to working with a pendulum is to approach it with an open heart and a clear mind. Your energy and intention play a significant role in how the pendulum responds. As you practice, you’ll develop a stronger bond with your pendulum, and its movements will become more meaningful and insightful.
I hope this guide helps you on your magical journey with your new pendulum. Embrace its wisdom, and let it guide you towards deeper self-understanding and spiritual growth.
Sending you lots of mystical vibes and excitement for your pendulum adventures!
Our mission: Sustainable Sourcing
At House of Formlab we always try to source our crystals in an ethically minded way. We only choose high-quality pieces and work with trusted and reputable suppliers who also take ethics in the crystal supply chain very seriously.
Many of our suppliers buy directly from the mines and they undertake regular site visits during buying trips to ensure working conditions and low impact environmental protections are as claimed. None of our suppliers knowingly buy from mines with any child labour, poor or dangerous working conditions. Certain countries are known for dubious practices and we avoid sourcing from those regions.
Often crystals are not what the miners are digging for. More often than not they are byproducts found alongside more valuable elements such as are used in our mobile phones and TVs. This makes supply chains complicated but where we can we avoid minerals and crystals known to come from this type of operation.
Certificates are often hard to come by. There is still no overarching governing body which certifies crystals in the same way as diamonds are now tracked and certified – mainly due to the difference in value. The more outcry there is, the more chance is idea will gain traction. So keep asking and campaigning for ethically sourced crystals and together we can change the crystal universe.
Buying crystals is a learning process. We will make mistakes, everyone does, but rest assured we are trying our best to make the right choices and provide you with the crystal you can be proud of.
