Pendulums
Pendulums are used for dowsing and divination.
Beginners to pendulum divination may like to use a yes/no response. Hold the bead between thumb and finger allowing the pendulum to hang loosely. Still the pendulum with the other hand. Clearing the mind ask the pendulum which way is 'yes' or ask the pendulum a question you know the answer to e.g. Is my name ....? Note which way the pendulum moves - that way is the 'yes response'. Still the pendulum and do the same for 'no'. You may, for example get a clockwise swing for yes and anticlockwise for no, or right for yes and left for no. Then you can ask the pendulum further questions.
