Shell and Quartz Hagstone Pendulum

Pendulums of all kinds are mentioned in the very oldest written records of divination and the occult arts. Ancient Chinese records tell of a ring suspended on silk thread that was used to predict the future and warn of danger. The Chinese emperor, Yu who lived during 2000 B.C.E. was said to be a dowser." ~ A Little Book of Pendulum Magic by D. J. ConwayHave you ever used a pendulum? You may have without knowing it. The first time I used one I was instructed by my great Aunt’s to pull a strand of hair from my head and put it through a needle, stick the needle in a pencil eraser and then hold the pencil by the hair over my wrist. “Watch how many times it goes in a circle and stops, and how often it goes straight back and forth and stops. That’s how you know how many children you’ll have and whether they’ll be boys or girls.” This simple form of divination has taken form through so many different cultures and practices it’s impossible to label it to one culture or location of origin.
