Divination Pendulums are basically objects that hang from a chain or string, and are used to find answers to questions. They come in many different shapes and sizes. Pendulums are also made of many different types of materials. This page is about the Quartz pendulum, but also gives a little history or background for those that would like to learn more about this psychic tool.

A Little Pendulum History/Lore:
Quartz pendulums are true "occult tools". That is, they reveal that which is occult (hidden). Pendulums are often used to find answers to questions about life, love, career, and more! They are also often used in healing and to find lost objects or hidden resources (such as water).

The pendulum has been in use, as a scrying tool, since the late 300's or earlier. It was used by the ancient Romans to find out who would be successor to the present emperor (Valens).
(Scrying) Methods for using the pendulum do not vary much, since that time. The fellows who were pendulum scrying, apparently used a ring attached to a silk thread, which was attached to a live laurel branch. The branch was then held by the scryer, and the pendulum would swing back and forth within the circumference of a metal bowl. The bowl had letters written on it, and the letters obtained from scrying, were to spell a verse, which would tell of the next emperor.

Today, there a several pendulum scrying methods in use. The most common are:
The scryer sits at the scrying table and places the elbow of their scrying hand on the table. Most people use the hand that they do NOT use for writing. Relaxed and holding the Quartz pendulum with their scrying hand, they suspend the pendulum in a glass, with the pendulum very close to one of the sides of the glass. Then they ask the question. The pendulum moves to hit the side of the glass, one time for yes, two times for no, or visa versa.

Another pendulum scrying method, is to take a piece of paper and mark it with a cross. Holding the Quartz pendulum in the same manner, as above, they suspend the pendulum above the cross and ask the question. The pendulum will move back and forth, one way on the cross for yes, and the other way for no.

Still another pendulum method, uses the same cross, but the pendulum circles the cross, clockwise for yes, counter-clockwise for no. There seem to be as many ways of pendulum dowsing and scrying, as there are styles of pendulums. Our Quartz pendulum is just right for almost any purpose.

Most people seem to believe that the answers come from your higher self, or soul, rather than divinity. Your higher self has access to the past, present, and future, and can give very accurate answers to your most important questions. Using the pendulum is just one of many ways to contact it for answers.
