Black Obsidian Pendulum, Dowsing Pendulum, Witch's Pendulum, Black Stone Pendulum
A lovely, classic version of the pendulum, this is an opaque black, natural obsidian pendulum on a silver toned chain. The end you hold is a silver-toned pentacle. Simple, and ready for a lifetime of use!
Pendulums have been used for hundreds of years (at least) to find lost objects, search for water and to answer yes or no questions. In Magick, pendulums are a perfect addition to tarot reading, so asking a yes or no questions. They are also used to find things either with questions or with triangulation - asking it to point in the right direction.
This is a classic obsidian pendulum, shipped in a small, black satin pouch - perfect to keep it in.
Chain is approximately 10" in length, stone piece is a little over an inch. The end comes in a choice of options:
- A classic silver toned pentacle
- A Wold baying at a full moon
- A witch's broom

I use a pendulum when I read Tarot. When I feel uncertain about a card or series of cards, I use the pendulum to access my deeper consciousness and bypass my "logical mind" that tends to doubt. I also use a pendulum to find lost objects, to determine which flower essence to take...the list goes on.
How to Use a Pendulum
- Hold it by the end (the pentagram).
- Ask it, either allowed or in your head, to "show you Yes". Focus on the word YES. Wait until the pendulum starts to move. Then make note of how it moves.
- My pendulum moves in circles, clockwise for YES, counter-clockwise for NO. Some people say their pendulum swings away from them in a straight line for yes or no, and side to side for the opposite.
- This is individual and there is NO WRONG WAY.
- Once you have established what YES is, ask it to show you NO. Keep the word NO in clear in your mind until the pendulum starts to move.
- For me, when the pendulum swings back and forth in a line instead of a circle, it means "maybe" or "can't answer now".
- You can also ask the pendulum to point to lost objects, waiting for it to swing, pointing in a direction. I have found countless misplaced items that way!
