Working with Pendulums
✨ How to Use a Pendulum for Guidance and Clarity
Pendulum work is one of the simplest yet most magical ways to connect with your intuition. Whether you’re seeking clarity, guidance, or a little reassurance from the universe, a pendulum can become a beautiful tool to help you tune into your inner truth. In this guide, we’ll explore how to choose your pendulum, cleanse and charge it, and begin asking questions with confidence and trust.
Did you know that pendulums love to answer questions and support you in making decisions? They’re wonderful for tuning into subtle energy and helping you find direction when your mind feels clouded or unsure. Simple, powerful, and endlessly fascinating, pendulums remind us that we always hold the answers within.
When choosing your pendulum, let your intuition take the lead. Be guided by the one that you feel most drawn to, it might be your favourite crystal, or perhaps one that simply stands out to you. The right one will feel like it’s calling your name.
🌙 Cleanse, Charge, and Set Your Intention
As with any crystal, it’s important to cleanse, charge, and program your pendulum before using it. This ensures it’s free from lingering energy and attuned to your vibration.
You can do this through smoke, moonlight, or sound, whatever method feels right for you, and then set your intention. Try affirmations such as:
“I am open to knowing the truth for the highest good of all.”
“May this pendulum reveal what I need to know for healing and inspiration.”
Your words act as energy keys, unlocking a clear and honest connection between you and your pendulum.
💫 Getting Started
When you’re ready to begin, choose a calm, comfortable space where you can focus.
Take a few deep breaths, close your eyes for a moment, and allow your mind and body to relax. Focus softly on the pendulum and feel your energy linking with it.
🔮 Establishing “Yes,” “No,” and “Maybe”
Before diving into your bigger questions, spend time getting to know your pendulum’s unique “language.” Most pendulums respond with four possible answers: yes, no, maybe, or I don’t want to answer. Begin with simple questions that have obvious answers, such as:
“Am I female?”
“Is my name [your name]?”
Notice how your pendulum moves, does it swing forwards and backwards, side to side, or in a circle? The direction it moves will become your pendulum’s way of communicating.
Repeat a few times, asking different questions, and take note of how it responds. You might even ask it directly:
“Please show me a YES.”
“Please show me a NO.”
This is the foundation of building trust and accuracy with your pendulum.
🌿 Tips for Working with Your Pendulum✨
Always start with a calm, centred mindset, energy flows best when you’re relaxed.
✨ Be patient; it can take a little time for your pendulum to warm up and connect.
✨ Ask clear, specific questions for the most reliable answers.
✨ Cleanse and recharge your pendulum regularly, especially after emotional or healing work.
✨ Trust your intuition, sometimes the answer is felt before it’s seen.
💖 A Final NoteYour pendulum isn’t just a divination tool, it’s a sacred bridge between your conscious self and your intuition. The more you work with it, the more attuned it becomes to your energy. Over time, it may even feel like a trusted friend that always tells you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear. Pendulum work is a beautiful way to develop trust in your own inner guidance. Have fun exploring, stay open-minded, and let your curiosity guide you.

💫 Getting Started
When you’re ready to begin, choose a calm, comfortable space where you can focus.
- Sit at a table with your back supported and your feet flat on the floor.
- Keep your legs and hands uncrossed so your energy can flow freely.
- Hold the pendulum by its chain or thread between your thumb and index finger, using whichever hand feels most natural.
- Rest your elbow gently on the table to steady your arm.
- Let the pendulum hang freely, ensuring it doesn’t touch the table.
- Place your opposite hand, palm down, on the table to ground your energy.
Take a few deep breaths, close your eyes for a moment, and allow your mind and body to relax. Focus softly on the pendulum and feel your energy linking with it.
