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 comfortably wear 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. It is extremely helpful whenever I know that I am going to be around a person who tends to spew out negative statements. Because the crystal absorbs 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 which can be used to hold essential oils in them-- quite lovely.

However, I choose not to use pendulums made from gemstones as tools for intuiting information. If a crystal pendulum is to be used as a healing tool for divination purposes then it is 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 apart 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. Metals also possess energies that can interfere with a 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) to dedicate a pendulum into the service of healing and only use it for that purpose and not wear it as decorative jewelry
