Many people have asked me over the years if I use the Pendulum. The answer, in short, is yes. I use the Pendulum quite often and have used it for over 15 years. I have used it to glean information from the most mundane topics such as the color of the tapestry on my walls, to which entities I should use for a particular ritual. In fact, I used it regarding the publication of this book. I had the intention of writing this book last year, but through pendulum work, I gleaned that last year was not the right time. Now, it is. Although the basics of pendulum work seem universal across the board, I incorporate different methods into it in order to be as sure as possible that my pendulum work is as accurate as it can be. In this book, I will teach you an unconventional approach to Pendulum work. An approach I find to be incredibly powerful. In this book, I will cover the following: A Short History of Pendulum Work The Subconscious Mind – A Primer Brainwave Entrainment and Pendulum Work The Power of Water to Prepare you for Pendulum Work Incorporating other Divination tools with the Pendulum such as Runes, Tarot Cards, and Zodiac signs. Techniques will include: Using Water to Reset Your Subconscious for Pendulum Work Using the Pendulum to Decipher the Entities You Should Work with in Your Rituals. Mining the Subconscious Mind for Answers Using Runes and the Pendulum to Gain insight into a particular issue. Using Tarot Cards and the Pendulum to glean answers Zodiac signs and Pendulum Work Free hand or charts Several Pendulum Charts. I hope you will enjoy this book. What Exactly is Pendulum Work? Generally speaking, a pendulum is comprised of a small weight that is tied to the end of a string, chain or thread. The length of the string varies, but the optimal length is anywhere between 6 inches to around 10. Mine is somewhere in between. The weight itself can be anything really. Some use crystals some use coins with a hole in the center. Some even use a key at the end of the string. I use a crystal since the crystal itself is high vibration. All the above will work just fine. The pendulum is a tool to ascertain answers. There are several schools of thought as to how it works. For many, it is spirit guiding the pendulum and for others, it is the subconscious mind. I personally believe it can be both based on the context in which it is used. If I am calling on an entity and use the pendulum to ascertain its answer to a question, I will feel confident that it was probably the spirit answering me. If I am asking a general question outside of a ritual, it is probably my subconscious mind. It might be both. Perhaps spirit is working through the subconscious mind. In either case, something is happening. As I stated above, the main objective of the pendulum is to gain clarity on an issue. The basic format is as such: You hold the top of the string so the pendulum dangles. You hold the pendulum with your dominant hand. Wait until all movement has ceased and the pendulum is as still as can be. You can place your elbow on a table to stabilize your arm if you like. Now you define how an answer will be ascertained. If the pendulum moves up and down, then that is a "YES" answer, if it moves back and forth, either left to right or right to left, that is a " NO" answer. If you ask a question and it moves in any of those directions, that is your answer. This is, of course, a basic description of how it works. There are more complex methods, but the gist is pretty much the same for all. You define the movement for an answer and then let the pendulum do its thing. This same thing will apply when you use it in conjunction with a spirit conjuring or ritual work. You define the parameters and the entity will answer within it, via the pendulum. I have received great insight using the pendulum and I will show my method in a moment, before we get into the methods however, I want to give you some history and some other very interesting information that you should know first. This knowledge will help you understand why I use pendulums the way that I do. Let us move on. A Short History of Pendulum Work In this chapter, I will discuss, in brief how pendulum work came about. I can’t cover everything, but you will get an idea. I will not discuss the invention of the pendulum itself since it is not directly pertinent to our discussion. When most think of Pendulum work, the word dowsing comes in their minds. This is because dowsing was exactly what the pendulum was and is used for. In the west, the pendulum first came into use as a tool to discover precious metals and natural resources. In certain parts of Europe, it was used to help doctors make medical diagnoses. When pendulum work proved a viable method of ascertaining information, many started to use it to predict the gender of yet unborn children and things of that nature. Some would go as far to say that Ouija Boards and Pendulums work on the very same principles. This makes sense since both are being used for the same purpose and are either driven by spirits or the subconscious mind. For the most part, the Ouija board is associated with calling upon spirits. However, the same can be said of the pendulum if you think about it. Put a Ouija board on the table and swap out the Planchette, that small heart-shaped piece that you put your hand on and simply hold a pendulum over the board and you will essentially have the same result with some obvious differences; but the concept will be the same. A Pendulum Chart is essentially a targeted Ouija board when you really think about it. In ancient times, pendulum work was a bit different. Pendulums weren’t used per se, but devices were used with pretty much the same purpose; to ascertain current and future information. In Ancient Greece for example, a “talking board” was used. People sit around a table with wheels that would move about on a piece of stone that had secret symbols on it. When the wheels stopped, they looked to see where and glean insight from whatever symbol it was pointing to. There was planchette writing in China as well. It has a rich history there. I cover some of this history in my book “Ouija Board Magick.” In North America, way before it was discovered, there is proof that talking boards existed. It had pointers and would be employed in very similar ways to all the descriptions above. Although talking boards are most associated with spirits, the concept is the same. An instrument is moving without the conscious control of the person using it. This is the same for the pendulum. As you see, I am not getting that deep into the history because the goal of this book is to teach you a method, but I figured I would give you at least something to think about and perhaps research on your own if you are so inclined. My Method of Working with Pendulums As I stated in the introduction, I have been using the pendulum for over 15 years. Throughout this time, my pendulum practice has evolved as I experimented with new knowledge. This book will represent the accumulated knowledge and experience I have gleaned over the years. When I first started to use the pendulum, I pretty much employed it like most people do when they are first starting out. I made sure my hand was steady and asked my question. If the pendulum swung up and down, it was yes and if it swung back and forth, it was no, standard stuff. As I tabulated my accuracy, I realized it was not impressive at all. A coin toss would have been just as accurate and that just didn’t seem right to me. I realized something was missing. I started to understand that it’s almost impossible to get accurate results when you are not energetically “clear”. I hate to sound new agey but that is the best way I can describe it. We often do not know of the various blocks we may have in our “system” that requires some form of cleansing. It was this fact that prompted me to experiment. At first, I used a smudge stick and made sure I smudged myself and my surroundings, but this didn’t really do much either. It was only when I came across the books of Masaru Emoto, in 2006, that I started to make connections that were previously not in my consciousness. In his books, he illustrated that when water is subject to emotions and words, be they positive or negative, the molecules change. The water literally absorbs the “vibe” of these words and emotions. He gleaned this by looking at how the water would freeze while subject to these emotions and words. He found that when the water was subject to positive emotions and words, the ice crystals that were formed would be clean and uniform. However, when the water was subject to negativity, the ice crystals were fragmented and chaotic in structure. After reading several of his studies and books, I decided to put this to the test. Although I was not able to view the ice crystals of the water I used, I decided to drink the waters that were subject to the positive emotions. After I would drink the water, I would play Brainwave Entrainment audios to get my subconscious mind into the right state of mind and the water to cleanse my body. I will get into brainwave entrainment a bit later in the book. So, I experimented with words such as “Clean, Clear, Love, freedom” etc. I then had an idea, what if I create this charged water and use it as a way to “cleanse” myself before working with a pendulum. I figured, this water may impact my energy. When I did this, I found the accuracy of my pendulum work to be hovering over 85%. Whereas before, I barely had a 50% accuracy rate. I tried all kinds of scenarios and found the Brainwave entrainments and the water changed something in me and my results. I started to incorporate the pendulum work into my magick and found a dramatic shift. When I have a specific desire that magick can help with, I am often faced with many possible traditions. Since I am eclectic, I can use dozens and do use dozens of different magickal practices. Using the pendulum after drinking this charged water, allows me to use the pendulum to help me decipher which path to take for a certain outcome. Should I use a demon or Jinn? Should I call upon Mahakala or Durga? Or maybe I should use Kahuna Magick? All these can work, but the pendulum helps me make the decision. I also found that when I needed insight into a problem, I could use this same method with other tools of divination such as Tarot cards and Runes etc. In this book, I will cover all this and more. I will give you the exact steps I use when I work with the pendulum and I will also recommend resources that can help you. Now that you have a quick overview of how I use the Pendulum, lets get deeper. Let us discuss the subconscious mind. The Subconscious Mind – A Primer I won’t go too deep here but I would like to give you a short primer on the subconscious mind and how it, through various means can create blocks that we need to neutralize or at least reduce the emotional charge. If you do want a more in-depth view on the subconscious, please read my book “Chod Practice Demystified” I go into much greater depth there. I will excerpt some of that book in this chapter. The subconscious mind is largely a mystery to us, it’s a mysterious and dark place. It contains all our inner secrets and desires. It also is the repository of all our highest aspirations. When spirit interacts with us, it is often channeled through these mysterious subconscious corridors of our mind. It truly controls most of our life, a good 90% of our daily existence is being run behind the scenes in this murky place. Despite this, we can see its influence and even control how it works at times. Since it controls much of our life, its finger prints are everywhere. The subconscious mind has several characteristics that we can easily ascertain. ·Anything you are not actively controlling in your mind is being controlled by it. ·It has a photographic memory. ·Despite outward appearances, it is trying so very hard to protect you from emotional pain and damage. ·It views the waking and dream world as one and the same. ·It will always get its way unless you snap out of your default state. ·It is a habit making machine and its specialty is consistency. These aspects above are double-edged swords. They can work for us and work against us. BUT, the interesting thing, as far as the subconscious is concerned, it “thinks” it is always helping us. I don’t mean to anthropomorphize it as if it is consciously doing it, but it is indeed trying to help us. It controls all aspects of yourself that you are not consciously aware of. That goes for your body and your mind. An obvious way to see this is to realize that all aspects of your body are moving along as if by itself. That is the Subconscious mind working it. Unfortunately, this covert action is also happening in your thoughts. Those automatic thoughts, whether for good or for ill are also being controlled by the subconscious mind. All the experiences you have ever had are stored within it. Once stored, it becomes seamlessly woven into your consciousness and thus creates “unwanted” thoughts and blockages. Now, the weird thing is, it is not trying to harm you but rather trying to protect you. If you experience some kind of trauma, be it physical or mental, it will make sure you remember that. So, for example, if you had a very tough breakup that caused you a ton of grief, it will store this information. For some, this simply gets stored away, but for most, it triggers panic and fear when they meet new people. The fear is so automatic that it almost comes out of nowhere, but, in fact, it is the subconscious minds way of protecting you from getting hurt again. The problem with this is that it doesn’t know when to “let go”. It will cause this fear reaction whether a true threat exists or not. It’s for this reason we need to reduce its charge when doing pendulum work because this automatic reaction to whatever issues you are inquiring about can taint your results. In regard to the fear that it generates, as I said, it can’t always know when a real threat is present or not. Which also means that it doesn’t know the difference between reality and dream. For example, when you are sleeping, your dreams are completely run by the subconscious mind. Have you ever had a dream in which you were falling and then you suddenly GRIPPPED the bed as if it was really happening? Well, that is proof right there that the subconscious mind has no idea that what you dreamt was not real. It made you react as if you were truly falling in waking state. In time, these automatic reactions you experience tend to become routines, the deeper rooted the routine, the harder it is to break. When it gets to this point, the subconscious mind will always get its way. It is for this reason we must reduce and even perhaps reprogram these automatic default responses. The methods in this book can help do this, at least for a period of time so you can use the pendulum work without it being corrupted. The beauty of some of these methods is that although it helps clear your mind for pendulum work, if done consistently can change many of your entrenched habits. The subconscious mind is a habit-forming machine and thus must be dealt with in a consistent manner. Although the methods here can help with this, there are more robust systems in place for more deep-rooted habits and behaviors both of body and of the mind. As you can see, the subconscious mind is an important aspect here. In the next chapter, we will discuss how we can reset it or at least improve it for pendulum work. Using Water to Reset Your Subconscious For Pendulum Work The title of this chapter may seem odd. How can water be used to reset your consciousness? Let me explain. In 2006, the Movie and book the "Secret" came out. I thought there was some interesting information in it, but it was very shallow. In fact, I think it could be very harmful if not understood correctly. As a positive result of the Secrets release, light was being shed on other aspects of spirituality and even Neuroscience. One of the more interesting things to emerge out of the shadows was the work of Masaru Emoto. As I stated in a previous chapter, it was my discovery of his work that changed my Pendulum practice amongst other things. I will provide here a brief synopsis of his work and its implications for Pendulum work. It was certainly a game changer for me. The Scientist behind this is Masaru Emoto. He believed that the very molecular make-up of water changes when subjected to various emotions, this also includes prayers as well. Water is essentially alive and spiritually-based in his theory. In 1999, Emoto compiled copious information substantiating his claims. The way he could tell the changes were taking place in the water, he would freeze it and examine the ice crystals. He noticed that when the water was subjected to positive emotions and prayers and then frozen, it produced well organized and very symmetrical ice crystals. However, when the water is subjected to negative emotions, the ice crystals were fragmented and disorganized. He performed these studies countless times. Here are a few images to illustrate what I mean. These images come from his book, Hidden Messages in Water. Water Before A Prayer: Water After A Prayer: Thank you: Love and Appreciation: Adolf Hitler: As you can see, these crystals are quite different when subjected to various emotions and terms that have an emotional charge. If you want to learn more about his work please get his book The Hidden Messages in Water. To be fair, many people have tried to refute his work because that is how life is. Those of us in the occult and self help are always subject to people who want to refute us and cut our beliefs down. I am of the belief that if it works, I am going to use it, let the naysayers live their lives looking for problems instead of solutions. What I do is prepare the water ahead of time and let it "sit" in the fridge with the intention I want to cultivate. I will then proceed to drink the water before I work with a pendulum. I will itemize the steps later in the book. I find it is a wonderful way to release some of the built up subconscious charge. Again, it is so important to keep that in mind. If you are in turmoil, it will impact how the Pendulum works. The water will at least help mitigate the negativity. In conjunction to this, I also use Brainwave Entrainment audios as well, WHILE I work with the pendulum. I will explain that in the next chapter. Brainwave Entrainment and Pendulum Work This kind of endeavor we find ourselves in, divination and Magick are our birthright. Magick and ritual are so deeply rooted in our genetic code that even those who do not believe, often find themselves saying a little prayer and hoping through some magickal process, the prayer will be heard. When you say “God, I hope this works out” “Thank God” and related phrases, you are actually performing a kind of ritual, whether you believe in it or not. It is a natural instinct to do this. Rituals and divination processes such as pendulum work, do not have to be a long drawn out processes. The spirits you call are very aware of what you need and who you are. We all know Magick and divination are powerful, we create miracles all the time and often times, instantaneously. Mindset is also important. It can be very hard to get your mind to focus. The mind is a noisy place. When the mind is not relaxed, it cannot manifest anything positive. I personally use,in conjunction with water is brainwave entrainment audios to help with my mindset. I have been using Brainwave entrainment audios since the 80s. I won’t write or read without them and I ALWAYS use them before a ritual or divination process and during those sessions. I have to say, it is incredibly powerful. But before I go into that, let me explain what brainwaves are. Brainwaves are the brains way of communicating its state. These waves are electrical impulses and are measured with an EEG or an electroencephalogram. The brain has several waves that can be recorded and graphed. Each brainwave corresponds to a particular state. * Alpha Waves: This wave occurs during relaxation, meditation and prayer. This is the ideal state to be in when you pray and perform certain rituals. Inducing this state is recommended. * Beta Wave: This wave occurs during our normal waking hours, it is very active, and we tend to get in this state when we are working out or when we need to focus intensely on an issue. Using Beta Wave programs can often give you that extra push you need to get going. This state is often recommended when working with hard spirits, spirits that have a heavy energy. * Delta Waves: This wave occurs in deep sleep and can be used in meditation. For me personally, it is wonderful for sleep and that is what I use it for. I also use it when I call upon more serene Hindu deities. * Gamma Waves: These waves are high frequency waves and are a few steps above Beta waves, they can help with pretty much anything that Beta Waves can, but adding that extra kick. Demonic and Jinn Magick work well with this frequency. * Theta Waves: This wave also occurs during prayer and meditation, but it takes it to a much deeper level. This Brainwave is also used to increase creativity and is optimal for learning. Using an audio with Theta waves will really super charge your rituals, it is for this reason many of the audios on http://www.occultmindscape.com have varying degrees of theta wave frequencies. Now that we have the waves outlined, let me explain why getting into Alpha or Theta is useful in most of your rituals. When you are in Alpha or Theta, you are in a relaxed state; the frantic, panicky waves of Beta have subsided. Your subconscious mind begins to” open up” for lack of a better term. When this happens, you are in the proper state to perform pendulum work and magick as well. This works especially well with mantra and angelic work, some demonic work as well. Once the doors of the subconscious mind start to open up, the judgmental mind begins to fade. This is critical, since during pendulum work, you want to be as clear as possible in your thinking. Even the slightest doubt can derail a practice. Getting into Alpha and Theta will help very much. I have used many programs over the years to induce these states, I tried to use the available products, and they were powerful, but I felt because magick and divination in general are so personal, and the various entities I work with are somewhat specific, I did not want to use a canned product. So, I decided to create hyper-specific brainwave entrainment audios. These audios are working very well, I created a few for family members who are occultists and a few of my friends. Already over 150 have been purchased since the time of this writing. I am bringing them to the occult community. I am hoping it will bring great value to you and your occult practice. Please go to www.occultmindscapes.com. Thank you for enduring my shameless plug. Again, any Brainwave company will do, I simply use the ones I create at this point. In the next chapter, I will go through how I use the water and the Brainwave entrainment audio to get myself in the proper state for Pendulum work. After that, we will go into several exercises to show you how it all comes together. The Method As you have read, I use Water and Brainwaves Entrainment before and during my pendulum work. We already know that our subconscious mind can impact the results we experience from Pendulum work, we need to at least dissipate the Subconscious charge that is present. Here is how I prepare for pendulum work. I tend to plan my pendulum work a day in advance because I like to give myself time to work with my thoughts. But you can also do this same day if you like. I fill a bottle of water up. I write on the bottle or place a sticker on it with a word or phrase that relates to my request. For example, if I know I am going to ask about my health for example. I will write on the bottle, “Vibrant health” and or “Good health”. I tend to know ahead of time what I will ask, so I simply place this bottle of water in the fridge. I like my water cold, but if you prefer room temperature, you can leave it out. When I am ready to work on the pendulum, I turn on a Brainwave entrainment audio. Depending on what the topic is, I use different ones. In the above example, we will use health. I will either use an Alpha brainwave product or a theta wave one. Those tend to be more conducive to healing. I listen to the audio for 5 minutes and get myself in the state. I will tend to play it throughout my pendulum session. I will then drink the water, sometimes I drink the water before the Brainwaves, either scenario works. You don’t have to drink it all, but I suggest you do. If the bottle is large, fill it about 1/3 full, or just enough so you can drink the entire thing before the pendulum work. To recap, I often listen to the audio and then drink the water most of the time, but again it doesn’t matter which one you do first so please do not be caught up on the process . My examples will show one or the other way of doing it. I focus on the intended issue that I am inquiring about. At this point, I have allowed the essence of the water to take Root AND I am in the proper mind state from the Brainwave entrainment audio. I will then proceed to lift the Pendulum and inquire about my issues, knowing I am certainly clearer than I was and this allows me to trust my pendulum outcome. As you can see, it is not difficult. In the following chapters, I will go through different scenarios and illustrate how the process works. Let us proceed. Exercise 1 – A Simple Yes or No Let us look at an easy example first. Let’s say you need a simply Yes or No answer for something. I will use one of my own examples. Last year, I bought a country home in New Jersey. Something that I wouldn’t usually do since I am a city person, but I figured it would be a sound investment and a nice escape from time to time when I need one. Unlike my city place, in the country, I need to be concerned about water heaters and things of that nature. I was on the fence about getting a new one. The one in the house seemed fine, but I felt I needed guidance since it was an investment, at least the one that I would need. I wrote on a plastic bottle the term “Clarity” and left it overnight in the fridge since I like my water cold. The next day, I took out my water. Sat at my altar and drank it with my intention in mind. I then put on a Brainwave audio and held my pendulum. I didn’t ask the question yet, I let myself settle in to the process. At this point, I felt clear and then I asked the question. Back and forth is no and up and down is yes. The answer was YES. I felt confident then that it was the right choice. But then again, I don’t really understand in water heaters so I just let it go and felt the pendulum was correct. So, I ordered a water heater and had it installed. As they took out the old one, they called me downstairs and showed me that the old one was seriously corroded on the top and that I changed it right on time. I smiled and thought in my head just how correct the Pendulum work was. Exercise 2 – Choosing the Right Spirit Entity If you have read my books, you see that I am quick eclectic in my occult practice. I don’t simply follow one path. I can’t follow one path, it simply doesn’t jive with who I am. I feel that spirituality is universal and that no single tradition belongs to a single people. We are on this earth together and share a common humanity. We can pontificate and claim that our “kind” is the superior race or more spiritual than the other. I will tell you now, ALL that is bullshit. Look what has become of the world when one group lords itself over another? It has brought only suffering to this planet. I don’t care what race you are, what sexual orientation you are, or what gender identity you identify with, we are all ONE and anyone who tells you otherwise is leading you astray. Anyway, my apologies for the digression. If you read my books, you know I like to digress. As I was saying, being eclectic has many benefits but at times, it can also be a source of uncertainty. I can call on Kali, Druga or Lilith to get the job done. Each have a resonance that will work. However, I do want to know that I am working with the right energy for a particular ritual. Let’s say I want to protect myself from psychic attack. I can use Kali or Durga. I will use these two for the sake of simplicity, you can of course us any other names you want or even more than two. The initial steps are as such: Write on a plastic or glass bottle the term “protection” and let it sit for a few hours or overnight. As I said, I put mine overnight in the fridge. When you are ready, place either statues or two images of the goddess’s side by side as seen below Take out the water. Sit at the altar and drink it with your intention in mind. Then put on a Brainwave audio and hold the pendulum or even beforehand, doesn’t matter. Don’t ask the question yet, let yourself settle in to the process. At this point, when clear, ask the question. The pendulum should not be positioned directly over them, but below them as such: When you hold the pendulum, you don’t hold it in between the images, but right below them so when the Pendulum moves, it will make a clear vertical right or vertical left motion to indicate which Goddess to work with. If you had placed it right in between, the motion would be sideways which would not be a clear answer since a sideways motion would indicate both, whereas a vertical left or vertical right movement will be much clearer. Now, you can have other reasons for picking the right deity, it doesn’t have to be about protection. I just used that as an example for this first illustration. Exercise 3 – Inquiring of The Spirit Now that we have learned the technique on picking the correct entity to work with for your purposes, we can now focus our attention on them. In this scenario, we will like to ask some questions. Now, if you are immediately going to be working with the entity chosen in the last exercise, then you can bypass the clearing process below. BUT, if you are going to work with them later, you should follow the steps below before engaging with them. So now that we have the entity in mind, we can ask it questions. In this case, let’s assume the deity I am working with is Kali. I would like to ask her a series of Yes or No questions. OR you can create pendulum chart with various different answers of your own and see which one she moves the pendulum to. Since the answers are very specific to your case, I will use a simple yes or no answer in this example. Let’s use a financially related one such as, “Should I buy this car? Or “Should I buy A car?” You get the idea, make it specific to your case. Write on a plastic or glass bottle the term “Certainty” or any word that you associate with clarity and certainty. Let the water sit for a bit or you can put it in the fridge overnight. When you are ready, place the image, name or statue of the Entity you are working with, in this case, Kali at the center of the altar. Take out the water. Sit at the altar and drink it with your intention in mind. Then put on a Brainwave audio and hold the pendulum. Don’t ask the question yet, let yourself settle in to the process. At this point, when clear, ask the question. Since the statue is only for focus, it does not matter where you hold the pendulum. Just make sure it is unobstructed when it is moving. Once you ask her the question, watch the pendulum. If it goes up and down, that is a yes, if it goes from right to left or left to right, the answer is no. If you would like to use a blank pendulum chart to add in your own answers, please go to www.baalkadmon.com/pendulum On that page you can freely download all the charts I discuss in this book and a couple of blank ones for your use. Exercise 4 – Inquiring of A Demon Or Angel Many of us work with spirit entities such as demons and Angels. This exercise will be good to use if you have a certain angel or demon in mind. If you have a particular demon or angel in mind, we can now ask it questions. In this case, let’s assume it’s a demon. In order to work with a demon, we want to make sure it answers correctly. Write on a plastic or glass bottle the term “Truth” and “Safety” or any word that you please. I used both of those to make sure I am protected from the demon but also to make sure what comes out of this session will be true. Let the water sit for a bit or you can put it in the fridge overnight. When you are ready, place the sigil, name or statue of the demon you are working with in front of you. We are using this as a place to focus our attention. Take out the water. Sit at the altar and drink it with your intention in mind. Then put on a Brainwave audio and hold the pendulum. Don’t ask the question yet, let yourself settle in to the process. At this point, when clear, ask the question. Since the sigil is only for focus, it does not matter where you hold the pendulum. Just make sure it is unobstructed when it is moving. Once you ask the question, watch the pendulum. If it goes up and down, that is a yes, if it goes from right to left or left to right, the answer is no. If you want more elaborate answers, please make sure you establish what the pendulum movement will mean. For example, if you ask the demon a specific question that is not so much a Yes or No answer. You want to tell it to move the pendulum in a certain direction if a certain answer is given. It’s important to do this since if you simply get an up and down movement, it won’t mean anything in content of the exercise, UNLESS it is a yes or no question. If you would like to use a blank pendulum chart to add in your own answers, please go to www.baalkadmon.com/pendulum On that page you can freely download all the charts I discuss in this book and a couple of blank ones for your use. Exercise 5 – Past Life Inquiry Many of us know that we have had past lives. Some of us know with certainty and others of us need clarity. Pendulum work can help ascertain the general time and or place of your past life. This one should be used if you have an idea of the separate time periods you may have lived but just want to be sure which one is most correct in context of the question. I will provide a blank Pendulum sheet for you to add dates, but for now, we can use the following method. You may write down the various dates you feel you have been alive on post it notes or on small pieces of paper. Index cards work well here. Place them in a circle so when you hold the pendulum in the center of the circle, you will be able to see a clear pendulum movement towards a specific period of time in which you will you lived. Write on a plastic or glass bottle the term “Clarity of the past” or any word that you associate with clarity and certainty. Let the water sit for a bit or you can put it in the fridge overnight. When you are ready, place the cards or post it notes as described above. Take out the water. Sit at the altar or table you are doing this and drink it with your intention in mind. Then put on a Brainwave audio and hold the pendulum. Don’t ask the question yet, let yourself settle in to the process. At this point, when clear, ask the question. Once settled, hold the pendulum above the center of the circle and ask your question. Once you ask her the question, watch the pendulum. Does it move towards a particular date? You can do this pendulum round in conjunction with the next exercise to determine even the location.

Exercise 6 – Past Life Location As you saw in the previous exercise, we ascertained the time period in which one of your past lives may have taken place. Now let us look to see if we can pinpoint the location. If you are doing this right after the previous exercise, you do not need to go through the clearing process again. However, I will supply it here in the event you are doing this exercise first. I will provide a blank Pendulum sheet for you to add locations, but for now, we can use the following method. You may write down the various locations you feel you have been on post it notes or on small pieces of paper. Index cards work well here. Place them in a circle so when you hold the pendulum in the center of the circle, you will be able to see a clear pendulum movement towards a specific location in which you have lived. Write on a plastic or glass bottle the term “Clarity of the past” or any word that you associate with clarity and certainty. Let the water sit for a bit or you can put it in the fridge overnight. When you are ready, place the cards or post it notes as described above. Take out the water. Sit at the altar or table you are doing this and drink it with your intention in mind. Then put on a Brainwave audio and hold the pendulum. Don’t ask the question yet, let yourself settle in to the process. At this point, when clear, ask the question. Once settled, hold the pendulum above the center of the circle and ask your question. Once you ask her the question, watch the pendulum. Does it move towards a particular location? As you see, it is not very hard.

Exercise 7 – Working With You Chakras Often we have blocks that are caused by an energy imbalance in one or all of our chakras. For the most part, it is usually one Chakra specifically that is causing most of the issues. Often, it is not always clear which one it is. Sometimes symptoms can be so generic that pinpointing one chakra is hard. However, with the pendulum , we can get a better idea of which one we need to focus on. Let’s say I want to identify which chakra is the one that needs to be balanced. I will use a pendulum chart with the various chakras indicated on them . The initial steps are as such: Write on a plastic bottle the term “chakra balancing” and let it sit for a few hours or overnight. As I said, I put mine overnight in the fridge. When you are ready, place the pendulum chart with the various chakras on a table in front of you. Take out the water. Sit at the altar and drink it with your intention in mind. When you hold the pendulum, you don’t hold it in between the chakras, but right below them so when the Pendulum moves, it will make a clear vertical move to the chakra that needs the most attention. Then put on a Brainwave audio and hold the pendulum. Don’t ask the question yet, let yourself settle in to the process. At this point, when clear, ask the question regarding your chakras. You can do multiple rounds to see if more than one chakra is impacted. The first answer you get, however will be the one you need to focus on the most.

Exercise 8 – Picking the Right Month and Day There is little doubt that each month has its own energy and feel. Some may call it astrological influences or what have you. In either case, each month has something and certain days are certainly more auspicious than others. In this example, we will be using a two Pendulum charts that indicates the different months of the year and days within those months. You can use this for any reason you desires. Let’s say I would like to know what the best time for me to start a new business would be. I would like to know the month, and day that would be best. The initial steps are as such: Write on a plastic bottle the term “Clarity and Auspiciousness” , you can use other words that may pertain to your case. Let it sit for a few hours or overnight. As I said, I put mine overnight in the fridge. When you are ready, place the pendulum chart with the various months on a table in front of you. Take out the water. Sit at the altar or the table you are sitting at and drink it with your intention in mind. When you hold the pendulum, you don’t hold it in between the months, but right below them so when the Pendulum moves, it will make a clear vertical move to the correct month. Then put on a Brainwave audio and hold the pendulum. Don’t ask the question yet, let yourself settle in to the process. At this point, when clear, ask the question regarding the month. Now that you have the month, now place the chart with the days on them and ask the question with the pendulum. There you have it. If you would like to use the charts indicated in this example, please go to www.baalkadmon.com/pendulum On that page you can freely download all the charts I discuss in this book and a couple of blank ones for your use. Exercise 9 – Picking the Right Day of Week In this example, we will use pendulum to figure out the day of a week that is best for whatever it is we are looking to do. It can be anything from ritual work or the best day to do any give task. You can use it for anything. The initial steps are as such: Write on a plastic bottle the term “Clarity and understanding” , you can use other words that may pertain to your case. Let it sit for a few hours or overnight. As I said, I put mine overnight in the fridge. When you are ready, place the pendulum chart with the various days of week on a table in front of you. Take out the water. Sit at the altar or the table you are sitting at and drink it with your intention in mind. When you hold the pendulum, you don’t hold it in between the days, but right below them so when the Pendulum moves, it will make a clear vertical move to the correct day. Then put on a Brainwave audio and hold the pendulum. Don’t ask the question yet, let yourself settle in to the process. At this point, when clear, ask the question regarding the day. In this case, you have now deciphered the best day.

Exercise 10 – Picking The Right Zodiac Sign This exercise is going to be rather broad. One may use zodiac signs for many different things. From rituals, to finding the perfect mate. In this case, let’s assume you want to know who the perfect sign capability is with your. You may have read all the books about what is the perfect sign for you, but often times, such broad classifications can be problematic. This exercise can help you hone the right sign. The initial steps are as such: Write on a plastic bottle the term “Love” or “ the perfect sign for me” , you can use other words that may pertain to your case. Let it sit for a few hours or overnight. As I said, I put mine overnight in the fridge. When you are ready, place the pendulum chart with the various zodiac signs on a table in front of you. Take out the water. Sit at the altar or the table you are sitting at and drink it with your intention in mind. When you hold the pendulum, you don’t hold it in between the signs, but right below them so when the Pendulum moves, it will make a clear vertical move to the correct sign. Then put on a Brainwave audio and hold the pendulum. Don’t ask the question yet, let yourself settle in to the process. At this point, when clear, ask the question regarding the sign. In this case, you have now deciphered the best sign for you. Like I said, this was just one example of how to use the pendulum with this chart, you can use this chart for other occult purposes. If you would like to use the chart indicated in this example, please go to www.baalkadmon.com/pendulum On that page you can freely download all the charts I discuss in this book and a couple of blank ones for your use. Exercise 11 – Ascertaining The Likelihood This is one of my favorite pendulum exercises since I have had such good success with it. Sometimes you need to get an idea of how likely something is to occur. Does said event have a 50%/50% chance ? Perhaps it has an 85% chance. This pendulum exercise will give you an idea of how likely something is to happen. The initial steps are as such: Write on a plastic bottle the term “Surety of purpose” or “ clarity” , you can use other words that may pertain to your case. Let it sit for a few hours or overnight. As I said, I put mine overnight in the fridge. When you are ready, place the pendulum chart with the various percentages on a table in front of you. Take out the water. Sit at the altar or the table you are sitting at and drink it with your intention in mind. When you hold the pendulum, you don’t hold it in between the numbers, but right below them so when the Pendulum moves, it will make a clear vertical move to the correct percentage. Then put on a Brainwave audio and hold the pendulum. Don’t ask the question yet, let yourself settle in to the process. At this point, when clear, ask the question regarding the likelihood. In this case, you have now deciphered the likelihood of something to occur. This was just one example of how to use the pendulum with this chart, you can use this chart for other purposes as well.

Exercise 12 – Using the Pendulum With Tarot Cards In this exercise, we will incorporate Pendulum work with tarot cards. I find Tarot cards have a very interesting and uncanny way of describing some of the issues we are going through in life. Or at the very least, they have an interesting perspective on the issues we bring forth during a tarot card reading. The problem with Tarot cards is that we can’t always get someone to read them for us. I will present an interesting, and in my estimation and experience an accurate way to read your own Tarot cards as well as for others. This can apply to any issue you want. In this chapter , the instructions will be generic so you can apply it to your situation. Like in the previous exercises, let us do some prep work. The initial steps are as such: Write on a plastic or glass bottle the term/s that relate to the nature of the inquiry you wish to present to the Tarot. Let the water sit for a few hours or overnight. As I said, I put mine overnight in the fridge. When you are ready to do this reading. Divide the Tarot card deck as such. Separate each suit, and make them into four piles, do the same for the major Arcana. You should have 5 piles at the end of the split. Place them in a circle. So you have enough space in the middle to hold the Pendulum. Take out the water. Sit at the altar or the table you are sitting at and drink it with your intention in mind. Then put on a Brainwave audio and hold the pendulum. Don’t ask the question yet, let yourself settle in to the process. When you hold the pendulum, hold it at the center of the circle which is comprised of the 5 piles. For this reading, we are going to pick a standard three card spread. Past, present and Future. You can of course change that configuration but for the sake of simplicity, let’s use three. Hold the pendulum in the middle of the circle of the card piles. Think of your intention. Now say either out loud or silently. PAST. Let the pendulum guide you to the card deck that represents the past. Once ascertained, pick the deck up and randomly pick a card from it and place the card face down in front of you. Place the card deck back in its place. Now, Hold the pendulum again, in the middle of the circle of card piles. Think of your intention. Now say either out loud or silently. PRESENT. Let the pendulum guide you to the card deck that represents the present, don’t worry if it is the same deck, remember, we must let the pendulum do its thing. Once ascertained, pick the deck up and randomly pick a card from it and place the card face down in front of you, right to the right of the “PAST” card. Place the card deck back in its place. Now, Hold the pendulum again, in the middle of the circle of card piles. Think of your intention. Now say either out loud or silently. FUTURE. Let the pendulum guide you to the card deck that represents the Future, don’t worry if it is the same deck, remember, we must let the pendulum do its thing. Once ascertained, pick the deck up and randomly pick a card from it and place the card face down in front of you, right to the right of the “PRESENT” card. Now that you have all three cards, turn them face up and take out a tarot book or if you know them by heart, read them from past to present to future. I bet you will find this method will be very effective for you. Exercise 13 – Using the Pendulum With Runes We will now use the same principle but for Runes. I for one love Runes more than any other system. I am not sure why, they just seem different to me. You may not experience this same resonances, but I figured, I would add this to this book. I saved the best for last as far as I am concerned. Like in the previous exercise, let us do some prep work. The initial steps are as such: Write on a plastic or glass bottle the term/s that relate to the nature of the inquiry you wish to present to the Runes. Let the water sit for a few hours or overnight. As I said, I put mine overnight in the fridge. When you are ready to do this reading. Take out each Rune, one by one and face down and create a circle with them. YES! FACE DOWN please. Make sure you have enough space in the middle to hold the Pendulum. Take out the water. Sit at the altar or the table you are sitting at and drink it with your intention in mind. Then put on a Brainwave audio and hold the pendulum. Don’t ask the question yet, let yourself settle in to the process. When you hold the pendulum, hold it at the center of the circle which is comprised of the many Runes. For this reading, like with the tarot one, we are going to pick a standard three Rune spread. Past, present and Future. You can of course change that configuration but for the sake of simplicity, let’s use three. Hold the pendulum in the middle of the circle of Runes. Think of your intention. Now say either out loud or silently. PAST. Let the pendulum guide you to the Rune that represents the past. Once ascertained, bring that rune to the front. Keep it facedown. Now, Hold the pendulum again, in the middle of the circle of Runes. Think of your intention. Now say either out loud or silently. PRESENT. Let the pendulum guide you to the Rune that represents the present. Once ascertained, pick the Rune up and place it to the right of the “Past” Rune, facedown. Now, Hold the pendulum again, in the middle of the circle of Runes. Think of your intention. Now say either out loud or silently. FUTURE. Let the pendulum guide you to the Rune that represents the Future. Once ascertained, pick the Rune up and place it right to the right of the “PRESENT” Rune. Now that you have all three Runes, turn them face up and take out a Rune book or if you know them by heart, read them from past to present to future. As an added tip, if you find the pendulum tends to sway to the empty spot where a pervious Rune was picked, keep note of that. It could be that the same Rune may have more than a single meaning for you. I have had situations in which a single Rune was picked for both present and future. I bet you will find this method will be very effective for you. Conclusion There you have it my friends. This is the method I use to this day when using the pendulum. I used very generic examples for the sake of simplicity. You can use the pendulum for far more complex issues. You can use several of these exercises to drill down to the exact time you need to do something and even the candles or incense you need for a given ritual. Just use the blank pendulum charts I provide and use them for candle colors, incense choice etc. You can use them for anything. I hope you enjoyed this book. So Mote it be! About Baal Kadmon Baal Kadmon is an Author, and Occultist based out of New York City. In addition to the Occult, he is a Religious Scholar, Philosopher and a Historian specializing in Ancient History, Late Antiquity and Medieval History. He has studied and speaks Israeli Hebrew · Classical Hebrew · Ugaritic language · Arabic · Judeo-Aramaic · Syriac (language) · Ancient Greek and Classical Latin. Baal first discovered his occult calling when he was very young. It was only in his teens, when on a trip to the Middle East that he heeded the call. Several teachers and many decades later he felt ready to share what he has learned. His teachings are unconventional to say the least. He includes indepth history in almost all the books he writes, in addition to rituals. He shatters the beloved and idolatrously held notions most occultists hold dear. His pared-down approach to magick is refreshing and is very much needed in a field that is mired by self-important magicians who place more importance on pomp and circumstance rather than on magick. What you learn from Baal is straight forward, with no frills. Magick is about bringing about change or a desired result; Magick is a natural birthright…There is no need to complicate it. www.baalkadmon.com www.occultmindscapes.com Follow Him on Facebook and other Social Media Sites: http://baalkadmon.com/social-media/ Other Books By The Author Organized by date of publication from most recent: Durga Mantra Magick: Harnessing The Power of the Divine Protectress The Talmud - An Occultist Introduction The Path of the Pendulum Chod Practice Demystified: Severing the Ties That Bind (Baal on Buddhism Book 2) Asherah – The Queen of Heaven Dependent Origination for the Layman The Watchers And Their Ways Rabbi Isaac Luria: The Lion of the Kabbalah (Jewish Mystics Book 1) Circe's Wand: Empowerment | Enchantment | Magick Ganesha Mantra Magick:Calling Upon The God of New Beginnings Shiva Mantra Magick: Harnessing The Primordial Tefillin Magick: Using Tefillin For Magickal Purposes (Jewish Magick Book 1) Jesus Magick (Bible Magick Book 2) The Magickal Moment Of Now: The Inner Mind of the Advanced Magician The Magick Of Lilith: Calling Upon The Great Goddess of The Left Hand Path (Mesopotamian Magick Book 1) The Magickal Talismans of King Solomon Mahavidya Mantra Magick: Tap Into the 10 Goddesses of Power Jinn Magick: How to Bind the Jinn to do Your Bidding Magick And The Bible: Is Magick Compatible With The Bible?
