It is not my main method of divination, but I do have some experience with it. Often you get confusing answers with the pendulum because you are not focused enough on the question, or because you are too focused on a desired answer. The hardest part about using a pendulum is to clear your mind of all the desired (or even possible) outcomes. Rather, you are to focus on the question alone. Also, in my family, the folklore goes that if you use the same method of divination and ask a question more than once, you will get conflicting answers, because each question should only be asked once. If you want to check the validity of the results that the pendulum gives, try using another method of divination other than the pendulum. The books on the subject can be very confusing because many of them say different things. Decide for yourself what each particular movement means (line for no, circle for yes, whatever) and stick with it. Make out a list, choosing what each motion means for you, or make a sheet of paper to hold the pendulum over with short answers or letters on it. You can then use the pendulum to spell out the responce so that there is no confusion. Hope this helps! Dee Norman
