Question About Pendulums

Reader Question: Could you please tell me what happens if you wear a pendulum around your neck (as a necklace)? - Ioana.

Answer: Dear Ioana,

You should have no problem wearing a pendulum as a necklace unless it is made from a crystal whose energies are too overwhelming for you to wear comfortably next to your body. Some people are extremely sensitive to crystal vibrations. Crystal energies can feel too draining or, the opposite, too highly charged.

I have several pendant style necklaces made with various gemstones that could be used as a pendulum if I wished because of their shape. A favorite is a green fluorite crystal that I wear sometimes to absorb negative energies whenever I know that I am going to be around a person who spews out negative statements. By absorbing the negative vibrations I am better protected from any verbal barbs. I've seen some glass and metal pendulum style necklaces that are actually small vials used to hold essential oils in them that are quite lovely.

However, I choose not to use pendulums made from gemstones as a tool for intuiting information. If a crystal pendulum is to be used as a healing tool for divination purposes then it would be important to understand that crystals house healing properties within them that could make interpretation of the pendulum reading more difficult.

Basically, a person would need to discern the outcome of the pendulum reading by separating the nature vibration of the crystal from the message that the tool movement is trying to convey. This is much like separating the white from the yolk of an egg. For this reason, whenever I use a pendulum as a healing tool, I prefer to employ a pendulum made from wood attached to a string rather than using a crystal pendulum on a metal chain. Metal also possesses energy that can interfere with the pendulum reading outcome. Although wood also carries energetic vibes, it is more subtle than vibrations carried by crystals and metals.

It is also helpful (and high recommended) that you dedicate a pendulum into the service of healing and only use it for that purpose and not wear it as decorative jewelry -Phylameana
