To Save a Pendulum

So, my pendulum fell from the window like 2 months ago. It broke. I know you’re supposed to retire them at this point. In short, I couldn’t let it go. The tip had snapped off, it was a clean break.

Anyways, I slapped it back together with a mixture of my hair, some dill, and gorilla glue. i put that mixture on the inside, i also then put a layer of glue on the outside as a coat to seal it.

Today, I see it sat there on my desk in two pieces, the end popped off. The glue on the outside: some is like… missing? which is odd, I guess. I mean, I’ve used it a few times, but typically it just sits on my desk next to me. The rest of the glue just has a straight line through it as if it was cut with the original fall.

Now, I already have a weird situation related to possibly some other spirit. I haven’t confirmed this. I’ve only theorized after exhausting all physical options first. I was getting ready to use the pendulum to ask about this situation. I saw it a day or two ago and it was fine. He was whole.

I don’t know what I’m asking. I’m just sharing, I guess. I feel inclined to for whatever reason. What comes of this will probably be the update.

Before you ask, yes, I’m going to glue it back together. I’d like to think I have the last say in this. :see_no_evil_monkey:

I know what you mean. I’m crafty and I fix things or up-cycle them rather than discard things.

At the same time i can get a bit superstitious about broken magickal tools. When a poison ring I’d enchanted as a talisman to Samael broke, I did a compete 180 Degree turn and took it as a sign that he didn’t want any talisman at all. Other things I’ve just chalked up as inferior materials or craftsmanship and redone or remade.

I think you have to follow your intuition on a case by case basis.

I’ve used pendulums previously. Once they break, it means they’ve retired. They’ve handled all the energy they could. Thank them for it. Set them on your alter and allow them to rest. When you find the next one, you will feel it within you to purchase.
