PENDULUM 101 || An intro to using pendulums in witchcraft

[@thewitchfromthenorth]

When I was little I remember my mother telling me about a folk tale or "wives tale" where an individual would put a ring (a wedding band was preferred but not necessary) of the target/ person on a chain and use that to divine. Particularly, they would tell the sex or "gender" of a baby by placing the ring on a chain and holding it above the pregnant person's belly. Sometimes, even a strand of hair was used if it was long enough to hold the ring. The idea was that the hair/ring held the essence of that person and made it easier to form a connection.

I have also heard that and I think it makes a lot of sense! ☺️

[@ysabeauvalikov7894]

I got my first proper pendulum today, I'm very excited to get to know it, and this was the perfect video to watch beforehand!

[@CricketsBay]

I have a lot of pendulums, real stone, resin made to look like fake stone, solid copper, and wire copper with a post down the middle, and orgone pendulums which are a mix of resin, stone chips, and copper wire. I think my favorite is a short, 6-sided resin pendulum with Peridot stone chips and copper wire inside.

I’m new to pendulums, but I’ve used mine for ancestor work.

[@psychicrat]

Wow, great timing?? I started out with pendulums and I am just about to make myself some new ones!

[@chariotmoon]

this is off topic but i love your tattoos! maybe one day you could do a video on all of your tattoos and their significance or smth? just a suggestion!

[@Lozdogs135]

I agree

[@elev8soundscapes]

Thanks for this! I’ve struggled with routines my whole life, they feel too suffocating and stifle creativity and spontaneity-but I always felt like I need them for some reason, which led to a cycle of self disappointment when my follow through was sh!t.

[@Slashy.]

At the perfect time too! I was just about to write about it in my bos :00

[@rubbaduckie12]

I used a pendulum for the first time today. I cast a protective circle in a similar way to how you did in your other video. I was totally surprised at how clear the responses were! It was a really beautiful experience. Thank you so much for your channel!

[@TheNorseWitch]

Oh thank you so much for sharing that with me! I’m very happy you had such a great experience ☺️

[@beenby9388]

Diese Videos sind alles istg 😭😭 These are amazinggg

[@TheNorseWitch]

🥰❤️

I have 3 very unique yet similar pendulums. 1 is the tooth of an American alligator , the other 2 were gifts from an Australian Witch I know. They are a freshwater and a saltwater crocodile. Although I have been considering repurposing them as earrings. To go along with the head of a deadly aquatic snake found in the Southern U. S. A. That has 2 names 1-cottonmouth 2-water moccasin. It's mouth is open and large fangs extended.

i love science and im studying zoology right now, from what ive gathered through my time studying science is that nothing has to be explained all the time and spirituality/religion and science can coexist 💛

[@kittycollartight_]

I loved this 🖤 it's nice to hear how other people use their pendulums. I only have 1, black tourmaline, I adore them 😊 they come everywhere with me lol I made a board to use and they seem to really like it ❤

[@Acurites]

This was very helpful for me as someone getting back into this stuff! It all reminds me of when i got my first crystal as a little kid, it was a rounded selenite wand and id hold it tightly and ask it questions.. it would tilt certain ways for answers.

[@kimikoscherries]

hey Bente ! I'm just starting out with gaining information on Paganism, witchcraft, protection herbs and plants etc. I found your channel and your energy is so inviting so I'm going through your videos and i love it !

[@TheNorseWitch]

Welcome!! 🥰❤️

[@chtiarubini113]

That is a cute pet/familiar! Love your content, as usual. Blessed Be!

[@lilykatmoon4508]

This was a very useful video! I le have ideas on other ways to incorporate a pendulum into my practice. Thank you for sharing your expertise! ❤

[@lindaluispflanzenfragen1086]

Ja ich finde auch, dass es wirklich gut ist, um Entscheidungen zu treffen, kleine oder größere. Unsicherheiten abzusichern. Vieles weiß man wahrscheinlich, wenn man ein gutes "Bauchgefühl" hat.. aber man braucht da schon eine starke Verbindung und eine Sicherheit um sich auf das Gefühl zu verlassen, finde ich. Ein Pendel kann auch dabei unterstützen, sich mehr auf das Gefühl zu verlassen, wenns das Gefühl immer wieder bestätigt. Man kann ja auch für jemand anderen Pendeln, also muss da ja eine Verbindung sein irgendwohin :) Ich denke aber auch, dass wir alle irgendwie verbunden sind. Ich finde es spannend, dass du "Vielleicht" als Antwort dazu nimmst. Ich kenne nur "ja", "nein", und halt wenn es sich nicht bewegt oder immer die Richtung wechselt, dann quasi "Ich weiß nicht". Danke für dein informatives Video. Jetzt muss ich noch mal gucken, wie ich das "Cleanse". Ein Verweis, falls du da ein Video hast, wäre toll gewesen. Liebe Grüße Linda :)

[@somakazuki8058]

Really love your vibe and your videos, I just subscribed your channel after watching some videos in the day. I’m excited to use the pendulum, I’m waiting for it to be delivered.

[@TheNorseWitch]

I‘m very glad you like my videos 🥰❤️❤️❤️

[@stevenmclaughlin1834]

Thank you

[@ruby07241]

I don't use my pendulum too often, but it has always been correct. I use it mainly when I just can't wait to know something, like an election. LOL Wow, my pendulum moves in the same way when it answers me as yours does.

[@davidtibor3133]

About different pendulum characteristics. I always felt alot of that has to do with what kind of crystal they have on them as different crystals to have different characteristics. Though I do notice some seem to work better if you ask out loud and others if you ask in your mind .

[@TheNorseWitch]

Oh yeah definitely!!

[@artawhirler]

I only have one pendulum (clear quartz) but its Yes and No movements are the same as yours!

[@TheNorseWitch]

I feel like for a lot of people it’s exactly these movements. I wonder why 🤔

[@Liam-Laurence]

for me yes swinging back and forth, a circle is no and maybe is right left and idk is left to right

[@giraffanny739]

Great video. To be honest Im really starting to have thoughts pendulums aren't for me. Like I tried few of them ( some made from crystals and one metal spiral ) and often either I can't even get " yes/no" cuz they swing same way all time even if I asked for next sign or they do but answers are incorrect mostly. I am also having hard time figuring out what exactlty I should think about when I ask question cause usually all I see is pendulum and possible options but I want to stay neutral and wait for answear. Its very hard for me and I can't seem to get using it right sadly :c So, Maybe its just not divination tool for me

[@baybeeviki7]

Is there a way to specify in general that only like…specific entities can use a pendulum? Or would that be something said each time? Like could I say “only my spiritual team members can communicate” and have it apply indefinitely? Is that a thing? Lol

[@TheNorseWitch]

I have never tried that. But what should definitely work is casting a circle beforehand, banishing every entity from the circle and then only inviting the one in that you want to communicate with

[@baybeeviki7]

@@TheNorseWitch I’ll check out your circle video, too, then. I’ve never legitimately casted a circle, but like…I smoke cleanse my room, space, and self, inviting only my team and who has my best interested (specifically saying low vibrational entities aren’t welcome), do my working (spell, divination, meditate, etc) and then I cleanse again after. Not sure if that counts, but there’s nothing wrong with trying something new 😊 thank you! And thank you for taking the time to respond, I appreciate it very much!

[@ichigo_komori91]

I have a lot of pendulum Boards which I don't use or need and if you want them I can give them to you

[@Guardsman123]

i like making mine from steel/copper and plastic with some oil if i desperately need a answer however the spirits i work with dont care for natural things they like mechanics and oil and other created things

[@amandabennett829]

Forgive me if this was covered in a previous video -- But how would you recommend cleansing pendulums?

[@justasquid8930]

i had a pendulum long before i got into witchcraft and I've been getting into it more recently. my pendulum was calling fo me and i found her fairly quicky!! she's in good condition but the chain she came with is lost, anyone have any suggestions for substitutes?

[@TheNorseWitch]

You could just buy a necklace chain and use that

[@tattooed.trinity]

Does it matter what hand you hold the pendulum with?

[@TheNorseWitch]

In my experience your projective hand works better ☺️ but you can just try it ☺️
