Ouija Boards & Pendulums
How to Use a Pendulum with a Ouija Board
Using a pendulum with a Ouija board, without the planchette, is a unique and effective method for spirit communication. The pendulum acts as the sole tool for interpreting messages, swinging over the board to point out letters, numbers, and preset answers like “Yes,” “No,” or “Goodbye.” This method simplifies the process while maintaining the structured framework of the Ouija board.
Here’s a complete guide to using a pendulum with a Ouija board.
Why Use a Pendulum with a Ouija Board?
The pendulum is an intuitive and energy-sensitive tool that works well with the Ouija board. Here are some reasons to use it:
The pendulum’s movements are guided by energy, whether it’s your own or that of a spirit, making the connection more personal. Without the planchette, the pendulum provides a straightforward way to receive messages. The pendulum’s swings can clearly indicate letters, numbers, or symbols on the board. Unlike the traditional Ouija board that often requires multiple participants, this method is perfect for solo use.
How to Use a Pendulum with a Ouija Board
1. Prepare Your Space
Creating a safe and focused environment is essential:
★ Cleanse the Space: Use sage, incense, or sound (like bells or singing bowls) to clear any unwanted energies.
★ Set Your Intentions: Clearly state your purpose for the session, such as connecting with a specific spirit or seeking guidance.
★ Create Protection: Visualize a protective barrier of white light around yourself and the board. You can also place protective crystals like black tourmaline or selenite around the board for an added layer of protection.
2. Gather Your Tools
☆ Pendulum: Choose a pendulum that resonates with you. Crystals like amethyst, clear quartz, or obsidian are popular, but any weighted object will work.
☆ Ouija Board: Ensure your board is cleansed and ready for use. Place it on a flat, stable surface where the pendulum can swing freely above it.
3. Position the Pendulum
Hold the pendulum by its chain or string so it dangles freely over the center of the Ouija board. Keep your hand steady but relaxed, allowing the pendulum to move naturally.
4. Begin the Session
Start with a Greeting and politely ask if there are any spirits present who are willing to communicate. For example: “Is there a spirit here who would like to speak with me?” Watch the Movement of the pendulum, it may swing toward “Yes,” “No,” or another section of the board. If it swings toward “Yes,” you can proceed with your questions.
5. Ask Questions
You can ask the pendulum open-ended or specific questions. Here’s how to interpret its movements:
Yes/No Questions:
★ The pendulum will swing toward “Yes” or “No” on the board to answer your question.
★ If the pendulum doesn’t move or swings erratically, it may indicate uncertainty or that the spirit doesn’t wish to answer.
Spelling Out Messages:
☆ For open-ended questions, the pendulum will swing toward specific letters or numbers on the board.
☆ Record the letters in the order the pendulum indicates to spell out words or phrases. Be patient, as this process can take time.
6. Interpret the Responses
★ Be Patient: The pendulum’s movements may start subtle and grow stronger as the energy builds.
★ Stay Focused: Keep your questions clear and concise to avoid confusion.
★ Take Notes: Write down the letters, numbers, or answers as they come through to piece together the message.
7. Close the Session
Properly ending the session is crucial to ensure the connection is respectfully closed:
☆ Thank the spirit or energy for communicating.
☆ Ask the pendulum to confirm the session is over by swinging toward “Goodbye” on the board.
☆ Cleanse your space and tools to release any lingering energy.
Tips for Using a Pendulum with a Ouija Board
★ Stay Grounded: Keep your energy calm and focused. If you feel overwhelmed, pause and take a few deep breaths.
★ Work Slowly: Spelling out messages with the pendulum can be time-consuming, so be patient and allow the pendulum to move at its own pace.
★ Trust the Process: The pendulum works with your energy and intuition, so trust its movements and your interpretations.
★ Limit Session Time: Spirit communication can be energetically draining, so keep sessions short and focused.
★ Use a Journal: Record your questions, the pendulum’s responses, and any insights or feelings you experience during the session. This can help you track patterns and improve your practice.
You Don’t Have to Communicate with Spirits
It’s important to remember that using a pendulum with a Ouija board doesn’t always have to involve contacting spirits. If you’re uncomfortable with spirit communication, you can still use the pendulum and board for other forms of divination. Here are some alternative approaches:
☆ Work with a Deity: If you already have a relationship with a deity, you can use the pendulum and board to receive guidance or answers from them. This can be a safe and focused way to deepen your connection with the divine without involving external energies.
☆ Divine Answers Without Spirit Contact: The pendulum can be used as a direct tool for tapping into your intuition or universal energies. By asking questions and allowing the pendulum to point to letters, numbers, or answers on the board, you can gain insight without engaging with spirits.
☆ Self-Reflection and Personal Guidance: Instead of reaching out externally, use the pendulum as a way to connect with your inner self. This can help you uncover subconscious thoughts, gain clarity on personal issues, or make decisions in alignment with your higher self.
By focusing on these methods, you can use the pendulum and Ouija board as tools for divination and self-discovery without needing to engage in spirit communication. This approach allows for a safe, controlled, and meaningful practice tailored to your comfort level.
Using a pendulum with a Ouija board is a simple yet powerful method for spirit communication. By replacing the planchette with a pendulum, you can create a more direct and intuitive connection with the energies or spirits you’re working with. This approach is perfect for those who prefer a solo practice or want to explore a new way of using their Ouija board.
As always, approach this practice with respect, intention, and caution. By preparing your space, focusing your energy, and trusting the process, you can unlock meaningful insights and messages from the unseen world.
