WHAT IS A PENDULUM?
A Pendulum, By definition is an apparatus consisting of an object mounted so it swings
freely under the influence of gravity. I, think of a Pendulum as more than just an object
that moves under the influence of gravity. I think of it as an object that can assist in finding out
Answers to our questions.
The ancient Romany were renowned for pendulum scrying and their methods were detailed in the writings.
It is also thought that Nostradamus used the same Romany
method of scrying from a basin by means of a pendulum to produce individual letters that formed
intelligible prophetic verses.
Historically, the bowl used was made of electrum. That is, an alloy of gold and silver.
The worker would then tie a thread to their wand and tie a ring (or another metallic object)
to the other end of the thread. Typically, the ring (or metallic object) was engraved upon as
well as the 24 letters of the Greek alphabet were engraved into the flange of the basin.
The basin was then placed in a tripod which was made of branches of laural.
Another option was to tie the ring to an end of a thin string and display inside a regular water goblet.
This method included a typical “yes” or “no” question format whereby the ring would tap the side of
the glass once for yes or twice for no. More than two taps indicates the spirit was uncertain of
the response and for the questioner to ask again.
In modern times we've become more aware of geomancy and use gems or crystals for our pendulums.
However you choose to create your pendulum, you should purify it.
PURIFICATION OF PENDULUMS
Fill a clear bowl with fresh, pure water, light a white candle and light incense. Say a cleansing prayer.
An example of which is as follows: “Clarify me, purify me, create in me a pure heart, renew my spirit
within”. Imagine the water in the bowl as bright white light. Dip the pendulum into the water and leave
it for a few moments. Sprinkle salt into the water and allow the salt to cleanse. Imagine the white
light enveloping and filling the pendulum and the salt clarifying as the pendulum sits. After a few moments
remove the pendulum from the water and pass thru smoke of your incense (I would recommend sage or hyssop
to burn for their cleansing abilities). Say another prayer. Perhaps something like: “Sage
(or hyssop or whatever incense you are choosing to use) dance over, around and thru this pendulum adding
your clarity, your renewal and your vision.” Lastly, pass the pendulum thru the flame of the white candle.
Say something like “Candle of white, purity, light and energy add yourself to the pendulum and allow me
to find the answers I seek, the clarity I crave and the purity I request.” On the night of a full moon
place the pendulum and thread in the moonlight and leave for several hours. NEVER allow your pendulum
to be placed in direct sunlight.

HOW TO BEGIN USING PENDULUMS TO SCRY
Once you’ve fashioned and purified your pendulum you’ll probably be quite anxious to begin using it.
Sitting in a comfortable chair with your feet planted to the floor with your knees slightly apart,
hold your pendulum in your dominant hand (the hand you write with). Dangle the pendulum above your
dominant knee and ask for the pendulum to show you “Yes”. Observe the pendulum looking for a “spinning
in a circle” motion or a “rocking forward and back” motion. This motion will be labeled in the affirmative.
Dangle the pendulum between your knees and ask to be shown the “neutral” (or “unsure…ask again”) motion.
NOTE: Typically this is completely motionless neither moving in a circle or back-and-forth. Moving the
pendulum over your recessive knee ask to be shown “no”. You will observe that this motion is the opposite
of the affirmative. Here is your beginning to using a pendulum!! Does this mean you cannot use your pendulum
in your recessive hand? Absolutely not; however, to begin with I recommend using your dominant hand.
MOST people have an ability to keep their dominant hand more motionless than their recessive hand.

METHOD 1:
Needed: Paper, Writing Instrument, Purified Pendulum
Fold a piece of paper in half and write “YES” and “NO” on opposite sides of the fold.
Holding your Pendulum above the fold, ask your question. You can watch for your pendulum
to swing toward the “YES” or “NO” side of the fold.
METHOD 2:
Needed: Wheel of Fortune Card, Tower Card, Purified Pendulum
Placing the two Tarot Cards next to each other in front of you, hold the pendulum between
them and ask your question. Much the same as the Paper method above, watch for the Pendulum
to move toward the Wheel of Fortune Card or the Tower Card. Feel free to use any
two cards that would be “opposites” to you. This is just an example that i have used.
There are many other methods to find “Yes” and “No” answers most based on the above principal
of one side vs. the other. Try these two methods and invent your own. Most importantly, when
Most importantly, when you begin scrying you should begin a journal of your experiences.
Include in this journal the time you began working with the pendulum, day, date, phase
of the moon, any other astronomical anomalies, your feelings, your findings and your
interpretation of your task.
another method of using a pendulem is charts this is one of the best ways for finding certain answers
to questions I will be including charts with this lesson please print them out or if you have no access
to a computer just draw them out by hand.
