Pendulum divination, also known as dowsing, is a practice where a suspended pendulum is used to gain insights or answers to questions. The pendulum, often made of materials like wood or crystal, swings in response to the energy or intentions of the person using it. Practitioners believe that the movement of the pendulum can indicate yes or no answers, or guide them toward specific information. To perform pendulum divination, the user typically holds the pendulum over a surface marked with letters, numbers, or symbols. As they concentrate on a question, the pendulum's motion is interpreted based on its direction and speed. This method is often used for personal guidance, decision-making, or exploring spiritual matters.
