Dear reader, these are accounts of a number of sessions I have had with my pendulum. This is my attempt to lay bare the practices I have used, the answers I have received and will hopefully serve as a model for others as curious as me. Through my example I hope to enlighten my reader and also provide ample information so one practicing this science may not be harmed by it. The pendulum is a strange device, which I must proceed to explain before you may continue reading this journal.

The pendulum consists of an object (preferably a small one) attached to a length of string or cord (the length is variable – whatever is comfortable) upon which it can swing freely. This contraption is held gently between the thumb and the forefinger, popularly held at arms length from the body. When this device is held in such a way, it tends to sway gently to and fro with relative ease. If one watches carefully, one is able to predict its swinging movement. Beyond this, one can actually cause the pendulum to swing in whichever direction they desire. Now this is all very interesting, especially for one such as I; fascinated by any phenomenon on this Earth. I had heard many a rumor about the powers of the pendulum. I had heard of stories of pendulums being used by mystics, by occult members, by psychologists, by all forms of humanity and my interest was instantly aroused.

I made myself a pendulum out of a plastic button (metal being avoided for its ability to pick up stray radio waves/radiations) and a length of string (my preferred length being several inches, though I hung the pendulum from a four inch length). I began playing with this device and soon I found myself in one of the most fascinating studies I have had to date. The experiences are related below in a series of sessions, but first, a little explanation of the methodology I used.

The pendulum was held at an arms distance from my body (sometimes with my elbow supported upon my knee for comfort) and allowed to swing freely for a while. I would then use commands to change the direction of the swing (using simple commands such as: Swing left to right or swing in a clockwise circle). Once I was assured I had full command of the pendulum, I would begin by asking it to show me how it would like to answer questions. The procedure is as follows:

Q: Show me how you will represent the ‘Yes’ answer

Q: Show me how you will represent the ‘No’ answer

Q: Show me how you will represent the ‘I don’t know’ answer

Q: Show me how you will represent the ‘I wont tell’ answer

For each question, the pendulum would swing in a certain manner (this took practice and much concentration to achieve – don’t be frustrated if it does not work the first few times) and these movements I would record as a diagram (though I soon learnt to read its movements by heart). My pendulum always gave the same readings. I have presented these in the diagram below (Note: This can be different for all people and I assume it can change at any time).

I would often perform a series of tests to measure the accuracy of the pendulum for any given session. This would be done by a simple ratio analysis of the pendulum’s performance at a number of games I invented for this purpose. There are many variations I used in testing, but the most popular game I played was a guessing game. I would write the numbers ‘1’ ‘2’ ‘3’ and ‘4’ onto separate pieces of paper – fold these pieces so they were exactly identical and then draw them out of a bag and ask the pendulum the following question(s):

Q: Is the number 1 written inside this piece of paper?

Q: Is the number 2 written inside this piece of paper?

Q: Is the number 3 written inside this piece of paper?

Q: Is the number 4 written inside this piece of paper?

I would ask it all four possibilities and note down the answer it deemed correct for each piece of paper. The results? Strange. The pendulum would perform poorly if the number 4 were used (it almost never guessed it right or would refuse to answer). If ‘1’ ‘2’ and ‘3’ were used, I got accuracies ranging from 85-100% on 20 tries. Also, if the game were played too often or if I asked too many repeat questions (I might sound crazy here) the pendulum would take offense and start delivering wrong answers or would simply refuse to answer. This state could easily be determined by asking:

Q: Are you angry at me?

 Q: Are you lying?

It seems that the pendulum took offense to repeat questions which seemed to suggest it was wrong. The pendulum also seemed to take offense at being asked questions it considered unimportant (such as playing number guessing games). Lesson: have faith in your pendulum.

That was the totality of the methodology I employed to learn the set of information I have below. I have divided the journal into segments based upon topics covered in certain sessions. I have excluded a number of sessions which contain information of a sensitive or dangerous nature though I have included one such session at the end of this journal. It was the final session I ever performed and you shall soon read why – but that is for later. I have also excluded unimportant data and repeat questions or questions leading to bigger answers (most sessions were much longer than what is presented here). Read these sessions with an open mind – I shall explore my own theories on the workings of this strange subject at the end of this journal.

Dear reader, at this point a number of things happened simultaneously. I was deep in this session alone at five in the morning in a small room lit by a single lamp. The pendulum answered yes and my spine chilled and all the hairs on my body stood on my end, I was experiencing sheer terror which none have ever felt. The knowledge that I was no longer alone – that I was facing a spirit with evil intentions with no knowledge of how to escape this terror caused a paralysis of my body, of my mind (I tensed up so badly I cramped my thigh muscle), and then the curtains billowed out with enormous gusto, yet the windows were sealed shut and the room had no draft. In horror I looked up and saw my face in the mirror facing me. It was not my own – I could not recognize it...

I grabbed the pendulum and started praying to a god I had long forgotten and neglected. I talked to it once more in the throes of a panic attack:

Please leave me alone. I meant no harm. I did not know I was doing something beyond my understanding.

Yes

Will the spirit in this room please leave me, in the name of god. Please...

Yes

Thank you, thank you, thank you...

 Conclusion:

That dear reader is the end of my recorded sessions. These sessions are true and real as are the dangers that haunt the mind. My actions in the final session were exceedingly dangerous and I am happy I had the sense to turn to god (whether he worked a miracle or whether the thought of a protector freed my mind of its breakdown does not matter). I was one step from a total breakdown of my mental faculties, which I am sure is what happened to the numerous cases of hysteria resulting from people playing around with Ouija boards. DO NOT MAKE LIGHT OF WHAT I HAVE RELAYED TO YOU HERE. DO NOT TRY ANYTHING YOU HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF, AT THE RISK OF YOUR SANITY. These sessions I give to you as a gift so you yourself may explore further this strange mystery – the pendulum and its powers.

What do I make of it all? Will any of those predictions come true? I do not know, I do not judge anything lightly; I will wait and see. Does it really know anything about relationships? I do know that its answers made me question my relationships. Was that really a description of my past life or was that my mind speaking to itself – creating an incredible imaginary experience for itself to enjoy? Did the pendulum really communicate to (name removed) with my message of love? I phoned her some hours later and the first thing she said was how much she had been thinking about me all day long (particularly when she was out shopping, when the message was sent). Coincidence? Perhaps.

Does the pendulum have a connection to a greater human consciousness from where it derives its answers (a totally Jung-like concept)? Maybe?

Is the pendulum merely an extension of the body that holds it? Shivering and quivering in patterns relayed by the brain through the hands? I think so, but does that mean its answers were created in the brain? In the mind? I am positive I was not consciously directing its movements...so what was? My subconscious? If so, the pendulum’s answers are really telling us about ourselves and the way we think...what implications does that have? How can that be used for positive – for good?

Lastly, is the pendulum actually a connection to another world of forms and shapes? A parallel dimension full of beings we do not understand? Is it a link to god and the angels? Is it perhaps a link to far worse? Was there actually an evil spirit beside me that fateful night where I quit this practice? Why did the curtains billow out? Some say my extreme fear caused a form of unconscious psychokinetic energy which acted upon the curtains...can I believe them? and what of the face in the mirror, the image that still haunts me? Are the answers all truly in the pendulum?

Yes/No/I don’t know/I wont tell.

Experiment dear reader, and find out for yourselves...
