Pendulums

Pendulums are tools of divination. You get some sort of weight and attach it to a string, chain, or something and then it's ready to be used. Pendulums are great for the solitary witch because you only need one person to work it. The only downside to it is that it can only give yes or no answers.

At your local new age or occult shop you can probably find them. They will probably have some sort of stone or crystal attached to a chain and they will look pretty fancy, but you can make one for very cheap. All you need is some sort of weight that can be attached to the end of a string. This can be anything, a ring for example would work well. Tie the string to the ring and then hold it up with your hand under it. Try not to move it, let it move by itself.

First, you need to find out which direction it will move to specify yes and no. Say in clear words "show me yes" and see which direction it moves. It might move back and forth, clockwise, counter clockwise, but it will do one of these. If it doesn't do anything or it moves in more than one direction then stop it and try again. DO the same for "no".

Once you have figured out which way is yes and no, then you are ready to use it. You can ask it questions and then let it show you the answer. It is a very simple exercise but very common among witches.
