Divination: How Does A Yes-no Pendulum Work?

Have you ever used a divinatory pendulum? This ancient method of divination allows you to obtain an immediate answer to the questions you have about your future. It is unnecessary to have a particular gift of clairvoyance to succeed in using it. We will explain to you how a yes-no pendulum works in 4 questions.

What is a divinatory pendulum?

A yes no pendulum is a divination tool consisting of a pendant suspended from a chain or string. When holding the chain between two fingers, preferably with the right hand, the pendulum starts to oscillate and the direction of this oscillation provides an answer to a question.

Although it is entirely possible to make your own divinatory pendulum with a chain and a ring, you can find very beautiful models made of gemstones such as rose quartz or clear quartz in esoteric shops.

Feel free to visit several specialized stores to compare prices and test multiple divinatory pendulums "in real life": this way, you can choose the one that resonates with you and attracts you the most...

2- How to use a divinatory pendulum?

The pendulums are very popular divination tools, for the simple and good reason that they are very easy to use! With this accessory, you don't need to possess a gift or follow a particular initiation to get answers to your questions about the future.

To use a yes-no pendulum, simply hold the chain between your thumb and index finger, in a relaxed and loose manner, and let it hang with all its weight. Place your hand in such a way that the pendulum hangs freely and the position of your fingers is comfortable.

Before starting to ask questions, immobilize the pendulum with your other hand and relax. Think about settling down in a calm place and turn off your phone before mentally formulating your question.

Then release the pendulum and focus on a question that has a yes or no answer, for example a question that starts with "Is it...?".

After a few seconds or tens of seconds, the pendulum should start to oscillate. With this divination method, it is the movements of the pendulum that give an answer to your question.

3- How to interpret the movements of the pendulum?

To interpret the response of a yes-no pendulum, carefully observe the direction in which it rotates.

In general, the response is:
• yes when the pendulum rotates clockwise
• no when it rotates counterclockwise.

It can happen quite rarely that the pendulum remains still. This lack of movement does not mean that the pendulum is not working or refusing to answer. The immobility of the divinatory pendulum simply means that you have asked a question without an answer.

Note: if you want to question the pendulum with open-ended questions, you can also use a chart or abacus. This is a half-circle subdivided into several parts, each containing information (days of the week, names, body parts). You can easily find online templates that will help you create your own charts.

4- Is this method of divination reliable?

If you are skeptical about the effectiveness of this divination method, take a test! During your first attempts with a yes-no pendulum, you will see with your own eyes that the pendulum really swings and not always in the same direction.

To explain the oscillation of this object, scientists have hypothesized that this movement could be linked to unconscious micro-muscular movements of the hand.

When you hold a divination pendulum between your fingers, its movement and response would only confirm what your unconscious already knows! In other words, this divination tool would give you access to a part of your mind that is usually inaccessible to your consciousness.
