What is a dowsing clock?

The use of the pendulum is officially considered a science known throughout Europe as Radiesthesia. Dowsesthesia is a divinatory detection process based on the belief that living things are sensitive to certain radiations emitted by different bodies. Historically, dowsing was known for its ability to locate water, gold, oil and other minerals, but nowadays the dowsing pendulum is mostly used in divination to help make decisions or provide answers. Since the pendulum can only answer with Yes or No, we must always take care to formulate our question well in order to obtain an answer that suits us.

How does a dowsing pendulum work?

Just as radios capture information from invisible radio waves, the pendulum is a powerful antenna that receives information from vibrations and energy waves emitted by people, places, thoughts and things. The famous physicist Albert Einstein was known for performing impressive feats with such dowsing tools. He thought it had to do with electromagnetism: just as birds migrate along the Earth's magnetic field, dowsers react to invisible and still poorly understood energies. Some people say that the pendulum creates a bridge between the logical and intuitive parts of the mind. Some say that the pendulum connects them to a higher power and calls it "divination" because the information is supposed to come from a divine source. Research by many scientists indicates that the pendulum responds to the electromagnetic energy that radiates throughout the Earth

How do you choose your pendulum?

There are 3 families of clocks that differ in appearance, size or weight.

The metal pendulum

The metal pendulum is available in two sub-families. The full pendulum in the shape of a drop, cone or spiral for a normal work and the pendulum says "witness" which is a hollow pendulum in which you can insert a strand of hair, paper, acronym … This "witness" inserted in your pendulum makes it possible to specify a request in the work of divination in the field of research.

The wooden pendulum

Taking a wooden clock is a very personal choice because no energy property is linked to wood although there are precious wooden clocks (mahogany wood, ebony…). The wooden divinatory clocks are however very light and therefore very sensitive which makes them clocks of very high precision.

The stone or crystal pendulum

The stone clocks have a very high vibratory sensitivity. Divinatory pendants par excellence, they are very easy to use and it is often towards these clocks that beginners divinated by the pendulum turn because it is the pendulum whose stone can be "programmed" itself for a work on a person. It is therefore enough to use the specificity of the various minerals associated with his work with the pendulum: pink quartz clock for questions about love, rock crystal pendulum for medical dowsing, pendulum in amethyst for research related to spirituality…

Tips before choosing your pendulum

Before you start choosing your pendulum, you must first ask yourself a few questions to be able to choose the pendulum that suits you perfectly:

What do you want to do with your clock?

Do you want a pendulum to help yourself or to help others?

What is the stone with which you resonate and who would therefore be likely to work well with you?

How to clean your Pendule

Once you have chosen your pendulum, you must clean it of any residual energy it could have captured along the way.

Purify your pendulum with sage smoke

Slowly pass your pendulum through the sage smoke. Repeat this three times, reaffirming your intentions aloud each time. After the third passage the purification is completed.

Purify your pendulum with water


Prolonged contact with water allows your pendulum to recharge. For a deeper clean-up, plunge your pendulum into a waterfall or stream with current during the full moon. If you don't have a water source at home, it is possible to use running water by adding salt for more efficient cleaning. Fill a basin and leave your clock for 24 hours before rinsing it with a clean cloth. Be
careful because some porous stones will not like water at all and will lose their color.

Purify your pendulum with the energy of the Earth


For a thorough cleaning or if your pendulum is heavily devitalized, earth purification is recommended. This technique consists of burying your pendulum pointing down, in the ground in a place loaded with positive energy as between the roots of a tree or failing in a flower pot and leaving it at least 24 hours or more depending on the need for purification.

Purify your pendulum with the energy of the sun

Put your clock in the sun for a day to recharge and purify it. Technique especially recommended for wooden and crystal clocks.

Purify your pendulum with the energy of the Moon


This method should only be used at the full moon to be effective because it is only at this time that dark energy is present in abundance.
To do this, it is simply necessary to place your clock on the edge of a window through which you can distinguish the moon and in the morning your clock will be purified.


How to use a pendulum for divination?

The divinatory pendulum is a tool of vision, it allows to ask questions about the past, present and future and to have an answer in the form of Yes or No. The pendulum of vision is above all an aid, a sixth sense very useful in everyday life.

Before using your pendulum it is essential that you get in shape.

Sit in a comfortable position
. Breathe sl
owly. Just
relax. Focus on why you asked for help with your pendulum.

Once you have reached a deep relaxation, then it's time to start. Stabilize your a

rm while placing your elbow on the table. Hold the pend
ulum chain between the thumb and forefinger, leaving no more than 3 to 6 cm of chain between your fingers and the pendulum.
Throw your divinatory clock right in front of you, perpendicular to your body. As he swings, in your head, ask your question and give your pendulum the following mental intention: "turn right for yes, turn left for no."
The pendulum will then rotate to the right or left giving you the answer to your question.
