When used with intention, a pendulum can provide answers to yes-or-no questions, help identify energy imbalances, and serve as a tool for gaining insights into personal or spiritual matters. Users often hold the top of the chain or cord and observe the pendulum's movements, interpreting its swings or rotations as responses to queries or as indicators of energy patterns. Pendulums are valued for their simplicity, versatility, and the personal connection individuals can establish with them during divination practices.
