Cleansing and Programming a Pendulum

Pendulums are a common divination tool among practitioners and are easier to learn than things like tarot or runes. They can be used to answer questions or help with making decisions but they can also be used for a number of other purposes such as healing, cleansing and finding lost objects. 


Pendulums can be made from a variety of materials, some of the most popular being metal, wood, or crystals. They work by connecting with your intuition and receiving and transmitting information from deity, ancestors, guardian angels, etc. Answers are given via the pendulums pattern of movement.


We recommend cleansing and tuning your pendulum to your energy before using. You can use your favorite method of cleansing such as leaving your pendulum in direct sunlight for an hour or more, using salt water, cleansing with incense or herb smoke, or even sound cleansing. Just be sure to use a method that is safe for the material that your pendulum is made of. For example, don’t use salt water on a wooden pendulum. 


Once your pendulum has been cleansed tuning it into your energy is the next step. To do this simply hold the pendulum in your hand and concentrate your energy into the pendulum for several minutes. If you plan on using your pendulum for one specific purpose such as healing then focus on this intention during this step.


To understand the answers that your pendulum will give it’s important to program your pendulum. To do this hold the pendulum by the end of the chain. Allow the pendulum to dangle in the air without touching anything. Ask the pendulum the following questions and record how the pendulum moves for each answer.

 

  1. Show me a yes.
  2. Show me a no.
  3. Show me an unsure.

 

The movement should be different for each of these questions. Recording and knowing the different movements will help you decipher the answers to the yes or no questions that you ask. 


Remember that the more you work with your pendulum the better your skill and results will be.
