My sweet, loving Nanny was my rst introduction to dowsing.

She used this technique to foretell the gender of baby in
pregnant women as well as the number of pregnancies a
woman would have in her lifetime.

I can feel you smiling at me at times when I am dowsing. I

miss you each and every single day.

 Introduction

The art of divination is practiced by many cultures and found

all over the world. The earliest documentation of dowsing as
a practice is 400 BCE (Before Christian Era). There have been
etched images of dowsing being performed discovered in
caveman caves and ancient pyramids. It is fair to say that
no-one really knows how long the art of dowsing has been
practiced or the purpose in which the dowsing practices were
performed. It appears based on what has been discovered
from ancient times that both divining rods and pendulums
were used in dowsing practices.

Pendulums are a symmetrical, weighted object at the end of

anything that can hold some tension when it is held up. The
pendulum is held by the string, chain, thread or even cord
with your dominate hand. You use your thumb and index
nger while the weighted object hangs. The tension cord can
be draped over your index nger to provide more stability.
The object will swing in a particular direction to give you
answers to your questions or to other information sought.

Divining rods are metal rods that are held one in each hand
straight in front of you. These rods will cross, spread or spin

11
fi
fi
to give you answers to your questions or point you in a
physical direction. A single dowsing rod can be used by
holding it in your dominate hand and using your nger of your
other hand on the bottom of the handle. The rod will then
spin to answer your question.

Since both divination tools can be used for the same

purpose, those similarities will be covered jointly. We will then
go into detail the practices of both pendulums and divining
rods in separate chapters.

This book is being written from the perspective of using

dowsing as a method for divination. It is important to note
that some professional dowsers do not refer to using dowsing
tools for divination as a real form of dowsing. It is in more
spiritual communities that the term “dowsing” as the practice
of tapping into a higher energy for answers that are not
consciously known. Even though both tools are used in
similar ways, they can be used with completely di erent
perspectives and intent.

It is important to also note that bobbers can be used for

dowsing for divination purposes. A bobber is a straight
moveable metal rod that has a wooden handle and a ball on
the end. It will bob to give you an answer. It is sometimes

12
fi
ff
 referred to as a bobber wand. You can make your own
bobber wand by getting any stick that is about 10 - 15 inches
in length that has a thick and thin end. You cut all the leaves
o and hold the stick by the thin end allowing the heavy end
to bob. You then can ask the stick to show you a yes
response and then a no response. You can then use that
stick as your own bobber wand for divination to answer
questions you have.

Since there is not much to cover with bobbers in relation to

divination other than what was just reviewed, this book will
speci cally review pendulums and divining rods.

 Why Pendulums and Divining Rods Work?

There are many di erent theories on how a pendulum and

divining rods work for divination. No-one really knows for
sure. The topic can be controversial because there is no
scienti c explanation for how or why this practice works, it
just does. It works for both divination and non divination
practices.

It is believed to be the ideomotor e ect that makes these

tools e ective. The ideomotor e ect means that there are
small unconscious movements from our body because we
are expecting to have an answer. It is this expectation of
receiving an answer that makes subtle movements to create
an answer through the instrument we are using.

One theory that piggy backs o of the ideomotor e ect is that

the items respond to the energetic eld tapped into your
higher self or subconsciousness. With holding the tools
(pendulum or rods) in your hand, your muscle response, heart
beat and/or unconscious movement in your hand and wrist
make the item move in a particular way. This is then tapping
into your subconscious that knows the answer by being part
of the larger divine energy source.

15
fi
ff
ff
ff
ff
ff
fi
ff
We are energetic beings in a human body. With that being
said, we are part of the larger etheric energetic system. This
system has three major components, an aura (one inch from
the body), the chakras (7 going from the base of your spine to
the crown of your head) and nadis (3 main going from base of
your spine to your head). The nadia are the pathways of the
prana system. The prana system, in basic terms is the life
force energy or your spirit energy.

That leads us to another theory, one where people believe

that the items can connect directly to spirits. That the spirits
use their energy in combination with yours to in uence the
movement in order to give you a correct answer. Even though
those are two di erent theories, if you really think about it,
they are based on the same theory just with a bit of a di erent
spin. They are the same if you believe that we are all in
essence part of the same energy source. Whether or not it is
a spirit or the unconscious mind, both are tapped into the
same energy which would give the person unconscious body
movements in a direction to produce a accurate answer.

If you hold your pendulum between your nger and your

thumb, allowing it to hang while asking a yes/ no question,
you will know that you are not making any conscious body
movements that is making the answer appear. Yet there will
16
ff
fi
fl
ff
be an answer, a surprisingly accurate answer. You can
support your arm by resting it on a table. The cord can be
wrapped around your index nger before placing it in
between your nger and thumb for additional stability.

With divining rods it may appear to others that you are able to
manipulate the answer but if you are not tilting them up or
down, they will just move on their own as long as you don’t
have too rm of a grip. One day when I had my rods out, I
was joking and said “who is the biggest liar in the room” and
what happened? Both rods immediately pointed to one
person. It turned out that person was in actual fact, the
biggest liar in the room.

You can stabilize your rods by having a loose grip on them

and holding them straight out in front of you. Stand with your
feet slightly apart for stability.

Having your own theory on how they work is important. You

can have no belief that they work at all and they will in fact
still work. A theory will help you determine what you believe
in. That belief system is important because you will bring that
with you into other practices and modalities. You don’t need
to determine what your theory is to start working with these

17
fi
fi
fi
divination tools. Over time you will develop a theory of what
you will hold to be true.

18
 Divining Rods

Dowsing using rods has historically been mostly associated

to nding water or metals buried underground. The most
popular rods are made out of copper because it is an
excellent conductor of energy. The rods do not need to be
made of copper to be e ective. Brass and other metals can
also be used and are also e ective. A set of metal coat
hangers or construction pin ags also work well. The rods
are usually about 10 inches horizontally in length with a
vertical handle.

There are many di erent practices that use divining rods and
for varying di erent reasons.

Grave Witching: Cemetery workers use the rods to

determine the location of buried remains. This is referred to
as “grave witching”. The term grave witching is also
referenced by the cemetery workers as a form of dowsing.

This grave witching is performed by holding the rod with a

loose grip and walking. If the rods cross (making an X) then
there is a body buried in that spot. If the rods stay crossed as
you walk, it can determine the length of the person buried.

19
fi
ff
ff
ff
ff
fl
An example would be that the rods would stay crossed for
one or two steps, indicating a baby. The rods would stay
crossed for approximately four steps for a child and
approximately six steps for an adult. The amount of steps
indicate the length of the buried remains.

To determine the gender, you would hold one rod with your
dominate hand and use your index nger of the other hand,
placing that nger covering the bottom section of the handle.
The rod will rotate clockwise for a male and counter
clockwise for a female.

Other grave witching practices indicate that if the rods cross

(making an X) then the body is a male buried and if the rods
go outward (making a Y) then it is a female.

Grave witching has also been done using a forked stick made
from hazel wood. A Grave Witcher would hold the forked
ends and the long end would bob towards the ground to
indicate that a body is buried in that spot.

Water Witching:

This practice is used for locating underground water by using

a forked stick/branch or metal L shaped rods. To obtain the
answers that you seek, this tool is used the same way as
20
fi
fi
grave witching. The types of branches or sticks used are
from willow or hazel wood. You might have noticed that a
willow tree will always be found near water. The branches
droop down toward the water whether the water is visible to
you or not. The willow tree has long been associate with
having a connection to water.

If you are using metal rods to nd water they will cross into an
X once you are over a water source.

Some water witching is conducted by using a bobber. The

bobber was reviewed brie y in the introduction.

Grave and water witching are the two practices that use
sticks and rods for dowsing. Rhabdomancy is another word
for dowsing with rods or sticks.

Paranormal Investigations:

Divining rods are commonly used in paranormal

investigations. You hold the rods in your hand and walk
around the room and the rods will cross into an X when areas
are found to contain high energy. When the rods cross you
put one rod down and use the other rod to communicate.
You ask to be shown a yes answer then a no answer. Like the
grave witching, hold one rod with your dominate hand and
21
fl
fi
put your index nger of your non dominate hand on the
bottom of the handle base. Normally the clockwise motion is
a yes and counter clockwise is a no. It is always good
practice to start with asking to be shown a yes response,
then no response. Once you know what a yes and no answer
looks like, you than ask the spirit if you can communicate with
them. Sometimes the spirit wants to lead you somewhere. If
you get a yes response to the question “are you wanting to
show me something” the rods then can point you in the
direction to where you need to go. You just need to ask to be
pointed in the right direction.

 Pendulums

Does anyone remember when they were young and grandma

pulled out a needle and thread when ever someone said they
were pregnant? This was to see if the baby was going to be a
girl or a boy? I remember, my maternal grandmother (Nanny)
doing this. I never knew back then that this was called
dowsing. Back in my childhood, many grandmothers did this
practice. My grandmother would use the needle as the
weighted object on a thread to act as a pendulum. I
remember her holding this over a pregnant woman’s stomach
and the needle would spin like it had a mind of it’s own. The
needle would go in a circle to signify the baby was a girl and
it would swing back and forth if the baby was a boy.

This practice completely amazed me as a young child. I just

thought it was an old wives tale but I couldn’t argue that my
grandmother was always correct in her prediction.

A pendulum is a symmetrical, weighted object at the end of

anything that can hold some tension when held up. There are
many di erent styles and thought processes as to why
people choose the ones that they do. If it feels right for you,
then try it out.

25
ff
How to use your pendulum:

Grounding is important. When I say this I mean in the easiest

form, it is not complicated, just take a few deep breaths and
concentrate on what your goal is. Feel your connection
grounding down through your feet and up out the top of your
head connecting to spirit.

Many people do all kinds of protections rituals, I do not feel

this is necessary. Knowing of methods to energetically
protect yourself is helpful, however you are working with your
own subconsciousness. If you feel like you need to put layers
of protection between you and yourself then I think there is a
problem.

Some people think that working with spirits you need to

protect yourself. If that is your thinking then you probably
should not be working with spirits. Think of it like this, you
want to connect with a spirit but you put all kinds of layers of
protection there so you in actual fact prevent spirits from
communicating. Say you just want to speak with your
Grandmother and put all kinds of protection layers in place
but your Aunt wants to come though. You just prevented

26
 spirit communication with your Aunt because you have only
allowed for your Grandmother.

You also don’t want to o end any spirits if they come through.
I know if I was to go near someone and they acted so fearful
and had to do all these things to protect themself from me, I
probably wouldn’t even bother to talk to them. The spirit
world is the same. Spirits can get o ended just like us.

With any process you need to do what is best for you and
what makes you feel comfortable. So just make yourself
comfortable in your mind, body and spirit, however that looks
for you. When you are comfortable and relaxed, you are then
grounded. If you feel the need to do some protection, that is
your choice.

The next step is to hold a weighted object, hanging from a

string, chain, thread, anything really, with your thumb and
index nger of your dominate hand and the item will move in
a particular way to answer your query.

I do want to note that I did nd a di erence in the accuracy

depending on how I have held the cord of the pendulum. It
needs to hang down about 10 inches. The cord is suggested
to be held between the thumb and index nger. There were
times I just draped the cord over my index nger but this
27
fi
ff
fi
ff
ff
fi
fi
 seemed to not really connect the pendulum to my energy as
much and my readings were not as accurate. My readings
were accurate if I had it draped it over my nger but the cord
was still held with my thumb and index nger.

It is important that if you have a longer cord, that you hold the
excess cord in your hand. This will prevent the excess cord
from interfering with the swaying when the pendulum when it
is responding with an answer.

When you are rst starting out, you can stabilize your arm on
a table. Make sure there is no breeze or anything that would
clearly move the pendulum. Once you are comfortable using
your tool, you can use it in any way, over anything, as you
would have built up the technique with how to hold it. You
will also have the con dence in your readings. Having
con dence is important. Using stabilizing techniques in the
beginning is important for con dence building.

Once you have your pendulum hanging, open up your

opposite hand (palm side up) and ask to show you a yes and
then a no. Once you have been shown this, you are good to
ask your questions.

You may read about or see on Youtube videos a long

complicated process for using pendulums. Using a
28
fi
fi
fi
fi
fi
fi
pendulum is not complicated. Some believe you need to nd
out the gender and name your pendulum. Again, not
necessary at all, but if you feel the need, then go right ahead.

When you are seeking your answer, you might get multiple
variations of how your speci c pendulum wants to give it’s
answer. It can make the movements that look like nodding
your head yes or shaking it no. Your pendulum will go back
and forth in the same motion, up and down for yes and back
and forth for no.

Some pendulums will swing in a clockwise motion to indicate

a yes and counter clockwise for a no answer.

Other pendulums will give you a mixture of both, like mine

does. Mine swings back and forth for a no answer and it
spins in a clockwise motion for a yes.

Some people believe that you should tell your pendulum what
do to for a yes, no and maybe. To me, that is not only too
much e ort but complicated. If the energy is coming through
the pendulum, why would I feel the need to control that.
Working cooperatively is better than micromanaging, no? I
always worked from the practice of asking it to show me how
it wants to respond and then using that direction to con rm
my answers. It is quite simple.
29
ff
fi
fi
fi
 When my pendulum needs me to rephrase a question or
doesn’t want to answer, perhaps the answer is a maybe, it
just won’t move. I suppose you can direct it do to something
di erent for all the di erent outcomes but that doesn’t mean it
will follow those instructions. Like any other practice, working
from a place of respect and being grateful for the connection
will go a long way in establishing good communication.

 What a pendulum can be used for:

Pendulums are excellent to be used for yes / no questions.

There are several ways in which to obtain your answer. The
pendulum can be held over your non dominate open palm
exposing your palm chakra. This method gives an amazing
ow of energy to get accurate answers.

If you are wanting more clear direction you can use divining
boards or charts (we will get into this a little bit later). Boards
and charts will list speci c answers or directions and the
pendulum will swing to the correct answer.

Obtaining locations to lost items is also another method. You

can ask the pendulum to swing in the direction in which you
should go looking.

If you are working with chakras, the pendulum can be a nice

additional tool to use with your intuition to see what chakras
are blocked. The pendulum then can be used to clear energy
blockages. We will go into some more detail about this in the
Auric Field and Energy Healing chapter.

Pendulums can give the outline of shapes and give initials. It

is less common however it is possible.

31
fl
fi
A pendulum can give you insight to so much, including how
your pet is feeling or direction you should go in terms of a big
decisions.

It is most important that you connect and bond with your

pendulum and journal your experiences so you can later go
back and see how accurate your readings were.

What are the best types of pendulums:

Before I can say what is the best type, it is important to

mention that historically when pendulums were being used,
there were no fancy ones like you can get now. You really
only need something that is weighted that hangs from
something you can apply tension to.

Your grandmother’s necklace that she wore all the time would
work. A rock hanging on a rope or a twig tied to some string
or a crystal on a chain would work. As stated earlier, a needle
or bobby pin hanging from thread works perfectly ne. I think
that rather than thinking of what you can use, perhaps the
question should be what shouldn’t be used.

32
fi
Metals have conductivity properties and work well. These
would work better than what was used ages ago. Crystals
have a power frequency so if you use a corresponding crystal
for a certain purpose, that would work wonderfully. For
example, you want to know about love and you use a rose
quartz pendulum.

Crystal pendulums are not the best option for a multi-purpose

divination tool due to crystals holding energetic frequencies.
Ideally your pendulum fob would be made of metal or wood.
The material in which you hang the fob part from should be
rope, string or a cord. Chains are often used but it acts as an
antenna. This can pull in other energies in the room that you
don’t want. The more natural the material the better. Any
cord will still act as an antenna but connecting into your
energetic eld, not picking up everything else around you or
in the room that could possibly interfere with an accurate
reading.

The best type of pendulum is one that resonates with your

energy. I am not saying if you have a crystal pendulum with a
metal chain you need to throw it out but just for a test, use
one like I had described and see which one gives you the
best reading. You may nd they are both equal. That would
be great but it also might not be case.
33
fi
fi
 Pendulums should have a point at the bottom. That is the
pointer. If you are using a pendulum chart that has lots of
sections and the top part of your pendulum is large, you
might not be able to see where your pendulum is pointing as
it can obstruct your line of view. If this happens, just know
you can switch over to a needle and thread. Plastics are not
a good option

There are several di erent styled pendulums that are

available, some are made to be pretty and others are based
on speci c geometric angles related to speci c qualities of
energy. To determine what type of pendulum you want, the
rst question is to ask yourself is what is your intention with
the use.

Here are some examples of shapes you can look for when
pendulum shopping.

Abbe Mermet - Has a chamber to put a written message in.

Good for nding lost objects.

Cone - Good for working with chakras and accessing

vibrational light.

34

fi
fi
ff
fi
 Golden Hue - Therapeutic pendulum that gives o the three
sacred energies (BG3). Good for all uses and dowsers of all
levels.

Isis - Represents the sacred cross of life after the Egyptian

Goddess Isis. This pendulum has 6 solar discs that act as an
ampli er. Good for all uses and dowsers of all levels.

Karnak - The key of life (Ankh) which represents the bridge

of heaven, earth, spirit and matter. Good for divining, healing
and sending / receiving messages.

Spiral - Also known as the vortex pendulum. Negative at the

top and positive at the bottom. Good for removing unwanted
energy and healing work.

UFO - Good for working with the human body and animals.

I didn’t go into a big list and have not included images of

each because it is of my own personal belief that they all are
capable of doing the same thing. A $300 pendulum is not
going to give more accurate messages than a nail tied to a
string. It is all based on personal preference. The most
important thing is your connection to what you are using and
you being relaxed and open to connecting with the larger
energy source.

 Pendulum Charts

Pendulum charts are an amazing tool. If you want to obtain

information that is more than a yes / no answer, all you have
to do is write various answers on a chart. The charts
provided in the pages to follow were created through
subtil.net, it is a free website and you can create your own.

For simplicity purposes I have included various charts with

explanations on how to use them.

Take your pendulum, do what ever grounding or centering

process that you have chosen to do. Get comfortable, take a
deep breath and ask your pendulum to show you a yes
response and then no response. You do this in the air or over
your hand (non dominate hand open palm up). Once you
have your yes and no responses, then put your pendulum
over the chart at the “hinge point” then ask your question and
the pendulum will swing to the answer. You still ask the yes /
no even though the pendulum will be swinging to the answer
on the chart because you are connecting with the pendulum.
You may have yes / no questions in between using the chart.

I have indicated the hinge point on the rst chart so there is

no confusion at to where it is located.

37
fi
The charts will intentionally be on it’s own page for
convenience to review related information and if desired,
page removal purposes.

Since we will be reviewing charts, below is an example of a

board. The concept is the same. The hinge point is the
pentacle in the middle. You ask your questions and the
pendulum will swing to your answer.

 Archangels

There are many ways to work with the Archangels as they

represent di erent aspects of God’s Will. They all have
di erent duties when it comes to assisting those of the earth
realm. The chart can be used to channel information and
guidance.

Ariel - is a protector of animals and nature

Azreal - known as the (destroyer angel) he doles out the

wrath of God and has the power to end life and transitions
souls into the afterlife

Chameul - protector of justice, emotions and balance

Gabriel - the angel of resurrection

Haniel - healer of families and relationships

Jeremiel - gatekeeper of death, watches over the souls and

guides them into the afterlife

Jophiel - archangel of beauty, mental clarity and inspiration

Metatron - helps people with their spirituality

41
ff
ff
Michael - angel of protection and safety

Raguel - delivers judgement

Raphael - o ers protection to those who travel

Raziel - the keeper of magic, the patron of secret wisdom

and divine knowledge and the mysteries of the universe

Sandalphon - assists with achieving goals and your deepest

desires

Uriel - angel of wisdom, truth and gives direct messages from

God

Zadkiel - helps with clear communication and helps to free

people from negative thinking and behaviour

Now that you have an Archangel Chart, your pendulum and a

list of what each angel represents and helps with, now you
can start some communication.

Lets just say you have been feeling a presence near you and
it feels like an angel. You can ask your pendulum if the
presence you are feeling is an angel. If you get a yes
response you then can come to this chart and ask if any of

42
ff
these angels are the presence you have been feeling. If one
of those angels, then there is probably a reason.

If your pendulum points to Raphael the angel who protects

people on their travels, you then can use some other charts to
further ask questions. Perhaps you want to use the days of
the week, family or persons charts to narrow down who they
might be showing up for. This doesn’t mean that something
bad will potentially happen to anyone on their travels. It just
might mean something as simple as checking the road
conditions or making sure they don’t forget to pack their
medications etc. The message could even be just to let you
know they will protect them on their travels so that you can
rest easy.

Another scenario might be that your pendulum pointed to

Raguel. You might be totally caught o guard when you look
up that he delivers judgement. This might not make sense to
you at all. If you have a slight indication as to what this might
mean for you, there are blank charts that you can write you
own possible answers you can use so that you can obtain
clarity. If perhaps this doesn’t make sense to you at all but
you know in your heart you have been feeling a bit down
lately, you can use the chakra chart to see if your chakra’s are
aligned. It might shock you if you pendulum then swings on
43
ff
the heart chakra. Perhaps you had a con ict with someone
who overstepped and hurt your feelings and you felt really
judged by them. You might not have thought of this situation
in a while but it had impact on your energetic system even if
you are not aware of it. Once you have some direction, then
you can take the proper steps to become more balanced and
have some resolution.

It is important to remember that these are tools to point you in

the right direction. Always let your intuition guide you.

Vibrational Level & Associated Emotion

59
60
 Vibrations and Emotions

The vibrational level and associated emotion chart is an

excellent to gauge your vibrational level when you are feeling
a certain emotion. Sometimes we can just feel o , not quite
ourselves and need a bit more direction to pinpoint the exact
emotion we are feeling. We should be striving to be at high
vibrational level but as long as we are not at the lower end of
the spectrum there should not be any adverse impact.

This chart can help with balancing, healing and clearing our
mind. When we are vibrating at a low level, the negative
emotions surface. When we are vibrating at a higher level, we
experience pleasant emotions.

If you nd that you are vibrating at a lower level, there are

many things you can do to raise your vibration for your overall
bene t.

Sound Healing:

Sound healing options are Tibetan singing bowls, tuning forks

or you can YouTube healing frequencies and just listen, while
being present in the moment.

EFT Tapping:

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. This is

tapping along your meridian points in your body to open up
the energy ow. Doing this several times in sequence will
help your energy ow therefore increasing your vibrational
level. This promotes healing on all levels. Eventually if you
keep doing this you will remember all the EFT tapping spots.

Start with massaging the points underneath your collarbones.

This part is just the beginning of your tapping routine.

Then, you tap on the centre of your chest.

You then tap between your eyebrows.

Tap the points on both of your temples.

Move down and tap on your cheeks.

Tap underneath your nose.

Tap underneath your lips.

You tap again on the centre of your chest.

Move down and tap the front of your ribs.

63
fl
fl
Tap the sides of the ribs.

Go back to your head, this is where you will tap the head all
over, as all meridian points start and end in that area.

Other:

Other fantastic ways to raise your vibrational level is to sing,

dance, meditate, positive visualization and mantras, relaxing
baths or just plainly do something that bring you happiness
and peace. Self love manifests happiness and happiness
results into higher vibrational levels. Having gratitude will also
give you positive energies therefore raising vibrational levels
through the euphoria feelings.

Demonic Divinities

65
66
 Demonic Divinities

There are nine demonic divinities. They represent the

foundational energy of the universe. This chart can be used
to con rm which Daemon you are working with or perhaps
which one you should be working with.

Satan - represents all of the 9

Lucifer - air elemental (Aquarius, Gemini, Libra)

Flereous - re elemental (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

Leviathan - water elemental (Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio)

Belial - earth elemental (Capricorn,Taurus, Virgo)

Unsere - life

Amducious - destruction (negative polarity)

Verrine - health (positive polarity)

Eurynomous - death

If you have a relationship or interest in working with daemons

this chart can point you in the right direction. You then have a

67
fi
fi
starting point to begin to learn of that divinity and establish a
relationship.

If you are feeling bored in your life, wanting for something but
you don’t know what. An example would be that you use this
chart to look for direction and your pendulum points to
Eurynomous the daemon of death. Don’t be alarmed. This
could mean that you need to end something to start
something new. It could also mean that the old you is no
more and the things that brought you happiness in the past
no longer serve you and that you need to nd something new.

Another example would be that you are wanting to improve

your relationship with your spouse and your pendulum swings
to to Belial, the earth elemental. This could indicate that the
personality characteristics need to be looked at of Capricorn,
Taurus or Virgo. If those are neither your sign or your
partners, ask yourself if there are things you should look to for
re-establishing a connection. The earth element connects us
to the physical world. This could possible indicate that it is
the physical aspect of your relationship is what you need to
work on.

Forms of Divination

69
70
 Forms of Divination

There are so many forms of divination, many you may never

have heard of. Perhaps there is a form of divination that you
were meant to practice, maybe it is in your cellular ancestry.
There is a chance that there is a form of divination that will
resonate with your energy better than others. There is one
way to nd out, you can ask your pendulum.

Astrology - forecasting of events through observation of the

planets, stars, sun and moon.

Augury - interpreting messages through omens and their

timing of when they are seen.

Automatic Writing - the writer moving their pencil without

being conscious of what they are writing.

wax being poured onto cold water.

Cartomancy - predicting outcomes or giving insight to

current situations through random selection of cards.

pendulum.

Geomancy - interpreting messages through the shapes,

lines and texture of the earth after you throw it on the ground.

75
76
 Percentage Chart

The percentage chart can be used to ask the percentage of

your yes / no answer. It also can be use to ask the
percentage of accuracy to the outcome of your question.

This chart is also good to see the charge your tool is holding
at that moment.

77

Bovis Chart

79
80
 Bovis Chart

The Bovis chart measures Bovis units. These units are

measurement for life energy (Prana or Chi). To measure
substances that come into contact with our body, will give
you an idea of the in uence it has as well.

A couple of factors that in uence the ratings of food can be

long storage before consumption or non-organic cultivation.

Under 6000 BE - energy consuming

6,500 BE - neutral value - healthy

Over 6,500 BE - energy giving

Ideally you want to come into contact or ingest things that

have the highest possible Bovis values. Doing things that
raise your vibration will also raise your Bovis values.

A range of 7,000 to 10,000 Bovis units re ect the average

healthy person.

No matter what religion or spiritual practice you believe in,

one common theme is that we all have guides. These guides
are entities that remain as a spirit for the sole purpose of
watching over the living. The pendulum can help you connect
to your guides and understand what guides are with you.
86
Guides can be called upon for support and guidance to help
you in your daily life, either with struggles or for your victories.

If there is something that is listed that is not part of your belief

system, that is okay. This book is written to be useful for all
practices. Take what resonates and leave the rest.

91
92
 Right Hand / Left Hand Explanation

When using a chart for yes / no / maybe questions, the yes

should be on the non dominate side.

The opposite side is used for left-handed and right-handed

people because they have di erences in their brain
asymmetry. This a ects characteristics that di er between
the hemispheres at a functional level.

Meridian Chart

95
96
 Meridians

Meridians are considered passageways throughout the body

that allow the proper ow of energy. These 12 standard
meridians are divided into Yin and Yang groupings.

Yin organs are solid. They store our energy.

Yang organs are hollow. They transform and transmit energy.

The meridian chart can help you pin point an area where your
energy can be blocked.

Yin yoga is excellent at creating conditions in which the

energetic pathways open up and allow the energy to ow
properly.

Remember you could have physical symptoms manifest in

one area that can be the result of an energy blockage in
another area.

An example would be constipation. This could be a result of

a blocked or closed root chakra and/or energy blockage in
your large intestine.

 Connecting to your Pendulum and Divining
Rods

Connect the pendulum to your own energy by carrying it with

you or sleeping with it in your pillowcase. The more you use
your tools the more they will connect with your energy.

With both the pendulum and divining rods, it is important to

continue practicing with them even when you are not getting
clear or strong answers.

Working with and physically handling your tools will connect

them to your energy.

Some practice techniques you can do that will help you

connect with your tools are:

1. Put an item like a crystal or a coin under a non

transparent drinking glass, mix this glass among other
matching glasses that do not have an item. Ask your tool
to tell you which glass has the item underneath it. Hold
your tool over top of each glass and ask the question and
see which glass gets a yes and no response.

2. Have someone hide something at under an area rug in

your home. Use your tool to nd which area rug has the
133
fi
fl
 hidden item, either by hovering over top and waiting for
the answer or by having your tool point you in the right
direction.

3. Use your tools often asking them to show you a yes or no

answer or using boards/charts.

4. Regularly cleansing your tools if you are using pendulums

that are crystals as they hold and store energy. Tools that
are metal or wood should not require regular cleansing
unless you are not getting accurate answers.

5. You can bless or anoint your tools with oils and incense.

Note: There is some thought that when practicing any form of

divination that hearing you are incorrect can discourage your
psyche and therefore is not encouraged by all.

134
 Cleansing your Tools

By cleansing your tools, you release them of any excess or

negative energy. If you nd that they are not working
properly, then they are probably due for a cleansing.

Cleansing regularly ensures that there is no barrier to the tool

connecting with your energy.

Items can be cleansed by using smoke, running water,

sunlight, moonlight, cleansing crystals or even your breath.

As long as what you are using is being used with the intent to
cleanse.

When you receive your items, it is good practice to give them

a good cleanse prior to use. It is up to you if you decide to let
others handle your divination tools however if someone else
touches them, their energy will linger therefore they will need
to be cleansed. Some tools will not work for others as the
tools have bonded with you.

135
fi
136
 Alternative Practices

The following are not required practices but are ways that you
can possibly increase your vibration and the area in which
you are going to be practicing your divination.

Bells - bells can be rung in the space in where you are to be

practicing, the vibration of the bell is known to not only
cleanse the area but acts as a beacon to call in spirits

Light a candle - on a symbolic level, lighting a candle

represents the ve elements: earth, air, re, water and spirit.
The wick and the base signify earth and are vital for keeping
the ame steady. The wax which transforms from a solid then
to a gas emulates water. Oxygen is representative of air and
keeps the ame lit. The ame is the re, the element of
transformation and rebirth. Lastly the intent is your spirit.

Each of the four elements have signi cant power of their own
and you are always wanting to connect to spirit therefore
lighting the candle with your intention.

Circle casting - you can cast a circle to create an energetic

space in which to work. There are di erent thought
processes whether or not clockwise (Deosil) or counter

137
fl
fl
fi
fl
fi
fi
ff
fi
clockwise ( Widdershins) is the correct way to cast a proper
circle. This is all dependant on your individual preference.

Some people believe that going counter clockwise is to

banish negative energy and clockwise draws in energy. This
is based on the moon phases.

Others believe that counter clockwise opens their energetic

space and clockwise closes the space. This is based on the
planetary placement and rotation, as well as the sun (rising
and setting in counter clockwise motion).

As you can see, neither practice is incorrect. I suggest that

you try both methods out and see what feels right for you. If
you want to cast a circle before your divination practice, it is
really to just create a sacred space and when you are done
you release your circle by going the opposite way. The
purpose of creating a circle is to intentionally cleanse your
space and call in energy in which to do your divination work.

Talisman - this would be any object that you have that

makes to you feel connected to something. This something
can be spirit, an ancestor that you feel watches over you,
anything that would make you feel a higher vibration.

138
 O erings and thanks - if you are wanting to connect with a
particular spirit, ancestor or guide, it is respectful to have an
o ering available. This could be some food or drink that will
be then left outside for nature once you are done. It is always
respectful to say thank you for the guidance you have
received.

There are many di erent ways that you can set your stage to
conduct your readings. It is important to remember that if
you are feeling relaxed and connected to spirit, then that is all
that matters. If setting your stage makes you feel more
connected, then you will be more connected.

 Auric eld and Energy Healing

Our auric eld is the energetic layers that surround our

bodies. We draw in energy into our body though our chakras
(energy centres). Animals and objects also have an auric
eld. Since the topic on energy healing and auric elds are
extremely extensive and require a book all on its own, I will
only slightly skim the topics in how the rods can be used for
those purposes.

Divining rods can be used straight in front of you and you can
walk towards someone and the rods will open into the Y
shape. The left moving far to the left and the right moving far
to the right. The rods can detect someones energetic eld.
When someone stands too close to you and it feels very
uncomfortable, that is because they are in your energetic
space, your auric eld. The rods can be used to determine
that perimeter of energetic space.

If you have someone laying down and you hold the rods over
their chakra centres, the rods will cross to an X to indicate
chakras that are under active, clogged or not aligned. The
rods will open to a Y for those chakra centres that are
overactive and expending too much energy.

141
fi
fi
fi
fi
fi
fi
What people want is to have the rods stay in place. Properly
spaced when you hold them in front of you and over the
chakra centres. This means that the chakra vortex is in tune
and balanced. The chakras are then exchanging information
within your body, mind, emotions and intuition through all the
layers of the body energetic eld.

A pendulum can also be used to nd out the health of each

chakra. One way is using your pendulum and a pendulum
chakra chart. You can ask the pendulum questions as it is
over each chakra section and read how the pendulum swings.
How the pendulum will swing will vary depending the
pendulum.

The pendulum can also be held over each chakra centre with
the person laying on a table. Each chakra should spin at a
nice pace and have a nice circular motion. If the pendulum is
spinning very fast and very large that would indicate an
overactive chakra. If the swing is moving very slow and a
small circle then that chakra is under active.

You can help balance these chakras through energy work or

even physically manipulating the pendulum yourself. If a
chakra is spinning too fast then hold the fob and make slow
142
fi
fi
circular motions over the chakra with the intent of balancing.
Visualize the chakra system coming into balance. This would
be the same thing if the chakra is moving slow, that with the
same intent and visualization process, swing your pendulum
to a nice rhythm over the chakra.

It is a common belief that when the chakra system is not

working properly that illness and disruption starts to manifest.
This can be mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health.
Energy healers can help the person heal by identifying the
chakra with the issue and from there practice a multitude of
ways to help the chakra come back into balance.

For people who are not familiar with the chakra system, this is
a brief overview.

Root the 1st Chakra: Color Red. Located at the pelvic area.
This chakra is your survival instincts and where you ground
energetically. Key words is I am.

Sacral the 2nd Chakra: Color Orange. Located just below

the belly button. This chakra is your creativity and sexuality.
Key words is I feel.

143
Solar Plexus the 3rd Chakra: Color Yellow. Located just
above your belly button. This is your power centre. Key
words is I do.

Heart the 4th Chakra: Color Green. Located at the heart

centre. This is all your pure love. Key words is I love.

Throat the 5th Chakra: Color Light Blue. Located at the

throat. This is your communication. Key words is I speak.

Third Eye the 6th Chakra: Color Indigo. Located in the

middle of your forehead. This is your all seeing eye. Your
intuition and sixth sense. Key words is I see.

Crown is the 7th Chakra: Color Violet. Located at the top

of your head. This is your inspiration. Key words is I know.

If someone is an abuse survivor or say just silenced a lot by

others in their life, this could adversely a ect their throat
chakra. This could result in the person have a closed or
slightly closed, even boggy or clogged throat chakra. The
symptoms would manifest as feeling timid or shy, talking
without thinking, social anxiety or even just di culty
expressing themselves. Having work done on this chakra to
144
ff
ffi
bring it back to balance, the individual will be able to
communicate better, organize their thoughts and handle
social situations better.

Let’s say someone had an overactive heart chakra, their

symptoms could be having no personal boundaries and/or
putting other people’s needs over their own. Think of energy
healing as counselling for the energetic part of a person. This
is never to replace professional help but works beautifully in
conjunction with counselling for the persons mind, body and
spirit perspective.

It is important with any type of energy work that both the

practitioner and treated person drink lots of water and get
plenty of rest. For the practitioner, it is important to
constantly ground yourself and release yourself of the energy
you have absorbed through transfer when treating someone.

145

 Decrees

Decrees are ordering or demanding statements. Many who

use divining rods and pendulums use Decrees. These
statements force the change or direction willed by the
practitioner. As much as these might be very similar to
manifestation statements which are done as if you have what
you are trying to manifest, decrees are very di erent.

It is of my practice that working with any sort of spirits or

someone’s energy source, that a kind and compassionate
approach is always the best practice.

If you are wanting to use your pendulum or divining rods for

divination (receiving messages or answers from spirit)
demanding is not the best approach. If you are wanting
answers that will directly help you then you would want spirit
to put in the e ort to give you the best answer.

For example, should I cut my hair? I might get a yes answer

but then get dumped by my boyfriend or made fun of by my
friends. Cutting my hair might have solved my issue but
created another one. If you are respectful and establish a
relationship with the spirits that come to you, you might have
not receive a rm answer. You don’t want spirit to just say

147
fi
ff
ff
yes but perhaps give you a maybe so that you can ask more
questions. This is to make the most of your question and
answer period for your best interest and having the spirit
equally invested in what is for your highest good.

Part of being a good divination practitioner is to know that

you have to look at all possible scenarios when looking at the
outcomes or answers. You want to ask the right questions
and follow up with the appropriate actions based on the
answers you receive.

Another point of view is that if you say you demand only

communication with a particular spirit or energy source
because you are afraid of what types of energy may come in,
you are restricting what spirits can come to you.

An example of this would be, you demand to only

communicate with a certain Angel but your grandmother is
there and she wants to guide you. You just prevented her
from communicating with you. When you put in restrictions,
you are limiting your own experience.

Decrees when it comes to energetic healing can also be

controversial, it is for me anyways. You can create a decree
to command or demand that an illness leave someone’s body.
I can say with most con dence that someone who has stage
148
fi
4 cancer, you will not be successful in ridding someone of
their cancer.

It is of my experience that using manifesting statements such

as “my body feels good and rejuvenated” or “I am healthy” is
more successful than demanding the cancer be gone.
Intention statements using positive words and worded like
you have what you are requesting, rebuilds new neural
pathways in the brain. Positive words are important, you
don’t want to say “I have no depression” because depression
might be the only word heard and then you end up with more.
I am happy is a better choice of wording.

A Decree statement can be something like the following “In

the name of (insert any deity or divinity) decree that all
negative energy that is embedded in (name of individual) be
transmuted into positive energy”. You can take your
pendulum and spin it with your own physical force in the
counter clockwise (banishing direction) over the person while
stating your Decree. You then can test by the movements of
your pendulum whether or not this was successful. Decrees
like that have been known to be useful and e ective.

My question would be, do I have the authority to use the

name of a deity or divinity for the purposes I see t? No-one

149
ff
fi
likes a name dropper, especially without permission or an
established relationship. In interfering energetically with the
path the person’s soul has set out for them, for what ever
learning purpose their spirit had intended, are you doing the
right thing? I believe that if someone set out a path for
themselves it might have been a path too di cult to endure
and intervention is okay to ease that path. There is a lot to
think about when you are getting involved energetically.
Usually the involvement is emotionally charged on our behalf
when it is someone close to us, so thought needs to be given
on the best course of involvement.

I suppose that would come down to what your own belief

system is. Energetically I believe that it is not the
commanding or demanding of something that is making
something work. My belief is that it is the shift in the persons
energetic belief system that things will be better that is what
makes it e ective. I feel it is a slippery slope to work from a
direction where the other person’s perspective is that you are
curing or xing them.

Don’t get me wrong, I believe that you de nitely can

manipulate energetic forces to aid in someone’s struggles but
it is responsible to think of the larger impact and what the
possible outcomes will be.

People will also look for Decrees that are already written out,
laid out perfectly for them to repeat and mimic. It is also my
belief and experience, that the best rituals of any kind are
conducted with a base knowledge of what you are doing and
what intuitively feels right. Intent is everything. Always follow
your gut and bones instinct and remember you are the maker
of your world and reality.

 Incorrect Answers

There are many reasons why you may be receiving incorrect

answers. After you ask to show a yes response and a no
response, try asking questions that you know are accurate.
An example would be “I am wearing a blue shirt?” if your
answer is incorrect there are a few things you can do.

1) cleanse your tool

2) try to reground and centre yourself

3) ensure there are no external distractions

4) reword your question, sometimes questions are too vague

or not clear, maybe what you are wearing is really called a
blouse not a shirt, look for those little things in your
question

5) look internally and see if you are desiring the response

you are receiving, sometimes you can in uence the
answer so it is important to ask from an impartial stance

6) if someone else is using your tools, they may not be

charged energetically to them or they have not grounded

7) ensure the you are holding your tools properly

153
fl
8) look at any external reasons, is there breeze or are you
trying to do your reading near electronics

There are a variety of reasons why you may not receive a

correct answer.

There is also the reason that perhaps at the time you are
asking your question, the answer that is given is the most
likely outcome at that time. When you ask questions about
the future, some events are what would be considered written
in stone. Other events are subject to change depending on
the independent choice and free will. It is good to record
your questions and the answers so you can look back and
assess the accuracy. After practice you will learn how your
individual tool likes to be communicated with.

Do not get discouraged, the more you connect, practice and

learn your tool, you will see the accuracy in its workings.
