🌹Pendulum Protection & Safety🌹

Pendulums are a fantastic tool. They can be used for divination, or to communicate with your deities and your spirit guides. However, what a lot of witches don’t do is protect and shield their pendulums. Pendulums, when used, can pretty much invite anything that wants to to come communicate with you– even if that entity isn’t so pleasant.

I’ve compiled a few ways I like to stay safe and guarded from anything that isn’t what I want to communicate with!

✨DO’S AND DONT’S✨

⭕️DO cast a circle for long conversations/sessions with your pendulum.

❌DO NOT let it remain unguarded for long periods of time.

⭕️DO keep it in a blessed, shielded, and personalized space!

❌DO NOT leave it hanging out in the open (yes, even if it’s on your altar) for long time periods.

⭕️DO create a little travel pouch for it when you go places with it! Personally, for my spirit guide Sandalphon, I have a cute pouch for him with his grid on it. It’s full of his favorite crystals, salt and rosemary, as well as a few protection sigils.

❌DO NOT let your pendulum be unprotected when you travel outside of your designated safe space (I.E.: a saged/cleansed room or home).

And remember, if the energy you’re getting off your pendulum seems off, or it doesn’t answer correctly to question only your guide or deity would know, ask it this question– “Would you lie to me?” It is a binding question that many lower-to-mid negative entities cannot answer “no” to. If it says yes, immediately put your pendulum in a container with holy water, salt, rosemary, etc. Keep it there for a full 24hr cleanse before using it again.

Safe divining, and blessed be!
