Quick Guide to Using a Pendulum Board for Scrying

Pendulum scrying combines the ideomotor effect — imperceptible muscle movements triggered by subconscious stimuli — with intuitive connection to higher consciousness for guidance.

Find a Quiet Space

Choose a calm, quiet environment. Sit comfortably with the board in front of you. Cleanse your space with your preferred method.

Center Yourself

Take deep breaths to relax. Consider meditating or setting an intention.

Hold the Pendulum

Grasp your pendulum by the chain, letting it hang freely over the board. Stabilize your elbow to reduce movement.

Establish a Baseline

Ask simple questions:
“Show me ‘Yes.’” Note the movement.
“Show me ‘No.’” Observe differences.
“Show me ‘Maybe.’” Practice a few times.

Pose a Clear Question.

Ask straightforward, yes/no questions. Avoid vague or complex queries.

Hold Steadily

Let the pendulum dangle over the board's center. Keep your hand steady.

Observe & Interpret

Watch how the pendulum moves. Compare the swing to the board’s markings. Allow time for it to settle.

Closing your session

Express gratitude for the guidance. Take a few cleansing deep breaths.

Cleansing

Periodically cleanse the pendulum and board with smoke, sound, or moonlight.
