A Dowsing Pendulum I made

Owl pendulum

     Here are a couple photographs of a dowsing pendulum I made.  This one is not my first, but one of the most practical so far. The length of chain was purchased at a craft store and cut to length.  A keyring was attached to one end of the chain, and an owl pendant made of hematite that I purchased from a vendor at a craft fair recently was attached with jewelry split rings also purchased at the craft store.

a really poor quality close up

   
     Here is a close up photograph of the hematite owl pendant.  It came with a black string necklace which was not very durable and hence not suitable for use with a pendulum that I intend to use quite frequently.  I can't really complain though, the hematite owl cost me only $5.00.  I was probably overcharged, but I enjoy using the piece.  Sorry for the poor photo quality, I was limited to my cell phone camera, and as far as photography skills go, mine are hit and miss at the best of times.




     A dowsing pendulum does not have to be fancy.  In fact, a piece of string and a paperclip or key will work just fine.  There is no magic inherent in the dowsing tool anymore than a hammer can contain a carpenter's skill, however that does not mean that a magician who dowses can't add an enchantment of choice to the tool.  I believe that layering techniques, tools, and intent can often increase the benefits of and success in most situations.  This pendulum does not have any enchantments yet, but I may in the future depending upon what seems most appropriate after more meditation.

     I also have a pair of dowsing rods I've made from a wire coat hanger and two used plastic ink pens, but I'm just using them for practice, and they are quite ugly, but functional.

Cheers
