Origins & History
The pendulum (dowsing) is a divination practice, widely carried out across Europe, in which the answer to a yes-or-no question is read from the way a pendulum swings. It is said to have derived from practices used to search for underground water, from which it also came to be used as a tool for divining everyday either-or questions.
How It Works
- 01Decide on a single yes-or-no question you want to ask.
- 02Hold the pendulum still and calm your mind.
- 03Observe how the pendulum swings (back and forth, side to side, in a circle, etc.).
- 04Read the answer as affirmative, negative, or unclear, according to the predetermined meaning of that swing.
What It Reveals
The pendulum is well suited to everyday yes-or-no questions, such as either-or decisions about work, love, or money. Because it answers through the simple mechanism of a swinging pendulum, it is not designed to read complex backgrounds or a long-term destiny, and is better used as a nudge when one is undecided.
