Have you ever bought a pendulum and then tried to find online charts and all you can find is yes/no/maybe or maybe the days of the week or other timing stuff... and that's about it?? And then you take a class that essentially tells you the same, that it's very yes/no/maybe that's it??

Well this beautiful book has 125 different charts that are actually interesting and useful, ranging from 15-25 options, and with questions like "What should my focus be....?" and "What food am I eating too much of?"

Now.... that's about all it has. There's an introduction section on how to use pendulums that was woefully lacking the information I wanted. Yes, good point to be aware of how wood or metal or a crystal pendulum may affect the reading, but what exactly is a wooden pendulum for? What about obsidian? Now, if you've never used a pendulum, the introduction could be useful, but it seemed a bit confusing for a first-timer.

I also expected some instruction on using pendulums for healing purposes, like when people will move a pendulum up and down someone's body and chakras to pick up on "problem" areas. I suspect that it just out of the scope of the book, but it's something I'd be interested in.

For anyone interested, I've also read you can use pendulums to help you find things - you establish what is "hot" or "cold" and then move around the area with your pendulum. There's a free type I stole from Kiki Dombroski's A Curious Future. You can also make a blank chart of room locations to get you started. Let me know how that goes, if anyone tries it.
