Pendulums
WHAT IS A PENDULUM?
A pendulum is a weighted object
attached to a string or chain that
is long enough for you to hold and
and how to use them sway the weighted object.

Programming your pendulum

Before you can use your pendulum, you need to "program" it so that you
understand what it tells you.

One way to program is to hold your pendulum and ask it to show you "yes" and
"no". Record which way it sways for each answer.

Another way is to tell your pendulum what "yes" and "no" is. This is best for
beginners. Most often, when a pendulum swings up and down it means "yes", side
to side is "no", and swinging in a circle is a "maybe".

Resting state for each pendulum will be different. Sometimes a pendulum will
swing around gently while waiting for your question, others will stay centered and
still.

Be sure to test your pendulum after programming! Ask it basic yes or no questions
to make sure that it is accurate and cooperative before trying to do legit readings
with it.
