Question

What if when I ask a question that I already know the answer to and the pendulum answers incorrectly?

Community Answer

Usually, you need to cleanse the pendulum. You can try putting it by a burning white candle for a while, cleaning it with saltwater, putting it in the moonlight for a night, or a few other things.

Question

When I use the pendulum, will it stop when I ask it to?

Community Answer

When you ask for an answer, it swings and shows you. When you ask for it to stop, it stops, and is ready for another question. The pendulum responds by bringing truth from your highest self, your highest consciousness, which some say is the collective conscious.

Question

Do I have to ask my pendulum to show me yes and no every time I use it or just once per sitting/self reading?

Community Answer

It's best to ask the pendulum every sitting. You don't need to ask it every time you use it.

Depends on what you mean by holy, but generally cleansing lightly will help.

Question

Can I ask the pendulum questions without saying them out loud?

Community Answer

Yes, as long as you focus on the question. This doesn't work for everyone, though, so you may have difficulty getting answers unless you speak out loud.

Question

How long am I supposed to let my pendulum sit in the salt water for cleaning?

Community Answer

My understanding is that it should sit in 1 cup of water with 1 teaspoon of salt for 1 hour.

Question

What does it mean if the pendulum goes around in a clockwise direction?

Community Answer

You must ask your pendulum to give you a yes and to give you a no. It could mean yes or no. You must ask the pendulum.

Question

If it's a "yes," the pendulum swings in a circle from left to right. What movement indicates "no"?

Community Answer

You can just ask your pendulum to show you the sign for "no" if you're not sure what it would be.

Question

If I ask the pendulum something, and I don't know the answer, then how can I be sure that it answers correctly?

Community Answer

The best thing to do in that scenario is to just wait and see if the answer ends up being correct. In some cases, you may never know for sure.

Is there a specific hand I should use to hold the pendulum?

Community Answer

No, but the dominant hand (the hand you often write with) will work the best.

Question

How do I sit crosslegged while using a pendulum?

Community Answer

The sitting position isn’t really that influential. Just cross your legs as you see fit and feel comfortable.

Question

Will having two pendulums curse me?

Community Answer

No, not all. Having more than one pendulum is perfectly normal for people who use pendulums in their craft.

Question

Would this process also be successful if using a stand instead?

Community Answer

Yes, it will still work. Just remember, the pendulum itself does nothing, it is the spirits (demons) behind it, they do not know the future, only God knows the future. However, they know other things, but they will not always tell the truth, they are not interested in your well being but your condemnation, just keep that in mind.
