Fishing Weights
A pendulum is a very useful communication tool for spiritual inquiring. When used in conjunction with a chart it can be used for dowsing and divination. It can be used for the following:
1. Provide Yes/No responses and answers to queries. This is similar to muscle testing or applied kinesiology. 2. Provide more accurate answers to queries such as degree intensity or percentage.
There are commercial pendulums available on the market. Usually they can be bought from shops dealing with metaphysical or new age stuffs. However these shops are quite scarce and can be quite hard to find. Alternatively pendulums can be ordered online through websites selling them.
This article is about making a doityourself (DIY) pendulum for dowsing. If you want to save some money or commercial pendulums are not available for you you can opt to make one yourself.
Actually to make a pendulum is not that difficult. We can always find substitutes for the various parts of a commerciallymanufactured pendulum. The parts that need to be substituted are:
1. The bob which is the weight at the lower end of a pendulum. 2. The chain which connects the hand to the pendulum bob.
For the pendulum bob we can use any reasonably weighted object. I personally use arrow shaped pendants. In fact the smallersized fishing weights can also be used. Although I much prefer some pendants over fishing weights as they are more visually attractive than the latter. Pendants can be bought from fashion accessory stores. As for fishing weights they can be found in large departmental stores as well as shops selling fishing equipments.
For the chain they can be acquired from fashion accessory shops that sell necklaces and chains. Metal ones are preferred. The length of the chain should not be more than a foot. In my opinion 1/2 to 3/4 of a foot is quite ideal.
Once we have the parts all we need is to assemble them. At the tip of the pendant or fishing weight is usually a loop or ring. We need to hook one end of the chain through the ring (or loop) at the tip of the pendulum bob (which is either a pendant or fishing weight).
Normally most chains are made up of many little metallic rings. To assemble the pendulum we may need to pry open one of the metallic rings (at one end of the chain) and insert the loop/ring of the pendulum bob through it. After that we will need to readjust the metallic ring (on the chain) back to its original closedlooped position. A longnose plier is most suitable for doing these fine handiworks.
Thats all to making a pendulum for dowsing. Quite simple isnt it!
I hope this article is useful. Happy pendulum making.
