Pendulums for Sale - FAQ
Here are answers to common questions about pendulums. If we don’t answer your questions here, please

What are pendulums used for?
It’s important to remember that brass dowsing pendulums do not predict the future and they are not intended to be used as a crystal ball. Rather, for millennia they have been used as a dowsing tool to detect subtle energies and electromagnetic radiation, allowing the user to interact with vibrational fields.
How do I choose my pendulum?
Our pendulums come in a range of styles and varieties, such as cone pendulums, chamber pendulums, and spiral pendulums. Rather than spreading our attention to healing crystal pendulums, gemstone pendulums, or other metal varieties such as gold-plated, silver-plated, or copper pendulums, at Sacred Waves we focus on curating the best selection of brass metal pendulums. The best pendulum for you depends on your practical and aesthetic preferences.
How do you dowse with a pendulum?
Hold the pendulum with its string between the thumb and index finger of your dominant hand. After stating a request for your wavelength, walk your fingers up the string until it moves consistently, indicating your wavelength.
If your pendulum has beads, you can gauge your wavelength by moving the beads to this spot. If not, you can measure the length of string another way so you can remember where to hold the string in correlation with your wavelength.
Next, repeat in your mind a request to see your “yes” direction until you see movement in the string. Then repeat in your mind a request to see your “no” direction until you see movement in the string. For a beginner, practitioners recommend spending 15-20 minutes per dowsing session.
It can take up to 30 seconds to see the pendulum begin to move in a regular pattern. If the pendulum does not move, refocus and consider other ways to ask your question. If movement seems random, take a break. Remember that practitioners advise against dowsing with any desires, needs, or wants on your mind, as this may affect your outcome.
To clear the pendulum between sessions, tap it against a hard surface, such as a table.
How do I replace my pendulum’s string?
If your pendulum has beads, you can gauge your wavelength by moving the beads to this spot. If not, you can measure the length of string another way so you can remember where to hold the string in correlation with your wavelength.
Your pendulum is designed to last a lifetime. However, the string may require replacement with use. Email or call us and we will help you order a replacement string. Once you have your new string, simply twist off the top of your pendulum and replace the old one.
