I began using a pendulum after reading Jason S. Black’s book on Urban Voodoo some time ago. When he was still alive he used the pendulum extensively, to the point that he would sit for hours, asking questions until he got detailed results. In fact, the very book Urban Voodoo was produced as a result of his work with a pendulum.
All I can say is it is seriously worth it and has been an excellent method for divination, sometimes clearer than even the tarot, because one gets absolutely precise yes/no answers.
It is excellent for those getting started in evocation, to communicate accurately with spirits without being in the right brainwave mode. Especially if you are working with scary entities that can put you out of a trance, then a pendulum is very useful.
I thank you Alpha Scorpii for the suggestion of placing the pendulum in salt for a lunar cycle. I am going to do that. I have already blooded mine.
Btw salt is also great for baths, if you want to cleanse your body just like the pendulum. A package of about 500gram of sea salt (non iodised) costs about 3$ where I live. If you live by the sea, go for a swim as often as you can. Ever noticed that people who had a shitty life and move to the sea often tone their bodies, suddenly get in shape and experience success? It’s the salt in the ocean that takes off all the negative shit from them. Also consider that people who live by the sea (inhaling the salt in the air, swimming in the ocean etc) tend to be way more relaxed. Salt should really not be underestimated.
Thanks again for this post.
PS: Also consider that swimming in the ocean combines several things. The coolness of the water (simulates a cold shower which is a spiritual cleanser). The darkness of the water attracts, as darkness is an attractor. And then you have the salt layered on top of all that. It’s basically the best thing you can do for yourself.
