Pendulums: The Magic Eight Ball of the Crystal World

Remember the “Magic 8 Ball†from your childhood? That mysterious toy that provided cryptic answers to all your yes or no questions? Well, in the crystal world, pendulums play a similar role. These beautiful swinging instruments, often decorated with crystals or gemstones, assist spiritual seekers in finding clarity and guidance.

How to pick out a pendulum

We are huge believers in the crystals “calling†to our customers. We highly encourage all our customers to touch the crystals and pendulums and allow them to feel and recognize the pull of a certain crystal. When you feel that pull or are drawn to a specific pendulum, then that is the one we feel, has chosen you. Our goal is to make sure you are comfortable with the pendulum that you take home and part of that is allowing the crystal to help choose its new home.

What is a Pendulum and How Does It Work?

A pendulum is typically a crystal or gemstone attached to a string or chain. While it doesn’t necessarily have to be a crystal, using one adds an extra layer of holistic guidance. Much like a hypnotist swinging a watch to access the subconscious mind, the pendulum taps into our inner energy. Our bodies are energy vessels, and our subconscious mind holds hidden information that is not always accessible. Think of your pendulum as a shovel that digs up buried knowledge and information. It connects you with your higher self, retrieving answers and insights.

Just hold your pendulum steadily over a guidance board and ask it any yes or no question. Observe its movement in relation to the layout of the board and VOILA! You have your answer!

So, the next time you need a little extra guidance, just grab your pendulum and ask!
