Why is my pendulum wobbling? [Bedeutung erklärt]

Do you have a pendulum and it seems strange? One of my readers asked me: why is my pendulum shaking? In this article, you’ll learn why this happens and learn about the most common moves and behaviors to start your journey to mastering this craft and making the most of its powers.

What is a pendulum?

A pendulum is an essential tool for a witch practicing divination. Your choice of thread or chain length is a personal preference. Its weight generally varies between 25 and 70 grams. The way it is held is important but it becomes a personal choice dictated by experience. Therefore, there is no right or wrong way to hold the pendulum.

How does a pendulum work?

The pendulum responds to the operator’s personality and the interpretation of the various movements must be entrusted to the witch herself, who will interpret the answers using the pendulum according to his personal code. There are more than 5000 pendulum models, but the simplest are often the best.

The trait is the weight when an experienced witch can use any pendulum. A beginner is advised not to use an overly heavy pendulum. The pendulum is held at the end of a wire (or a length determined by the operator’s sensitivity) between the thumb and index finger, it will move in all directions with interpretive oscillations known only to the operator. The choice of the meaning of the movements is left to the subconscious, which someone prefers to call the soul.

Generally, the movement that follows the hands of a clock (clockwise). is denoted as right-handed and interpreted as an affirmative answer of “yes”. Movement of the clock hands in the opposite direction (counterclockwise) is interpreted as a negative answer of “No”. For left-handers, the mechanism of the pendulum is reversed.

Main movements of the pendulum explained

It is possible, at least at the beginning, to establish the meaning of each movement, but it is advisable to leave this task to the subconscious in order to establish better cooperation between the pendulum and the witch.

Although practice has shown that the material from this tool is not important to the success of witchcraft research. It is the belief of most people that each person corresponds to their own pendulum, the appearance and shape of which inspires the witch to have closer contact and whether this is the result.

It must be said that a pendulum is personal, it should not be paid for, but if it is not possible to put it temporarily in the hands of others, it is advisable to immediately rid it of foreign presences that would disturb it. It should therefore be washed under a jet of cold water and then dried. Then the owner holds it in his hand and breathes on it to make him feel like he belongs.

How many ways can it move freely?

• It can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.

It can be on a vertical or a horizontal axis.

• It can swing in any 360° direction.

It can move along a straight line or draw ellipses, narrow or wide

• Its movement can also be chaotic and disorderly.
• It can stand still.
• When moving, it can draw narrow or wide circles.
• It can move slowly or quickly.
• It can be powerful or gentle.

It can be spiral.


• It can even shake

Each of these movements can be codified and have their own meaning.

Ever since I started, I can’t settle for a yes or no answer.

Our pendulum has so many things to communicate.

The problem here is to assign a specific reaction to each movement of the pendulum.

In my case, in addition to Yes, No, and I don’t know, I added other possible answers.

For example when the pendulum swings in. A horizontal straight line means LOCK/CONFLICT to me.

I have the answer, but something in me prevents me from receiving it clearly. Does the answer hurt too much? Does it go against my prejudices or my expectations?
At this moment I don’t have the courage to deal with the truth?
Ö Is my mind just fuzzy or is it sabotaging me?

These are all more questions I can ask the pendulum if the first answer is BLOCK/CONFLICT.

Another time when asking a question, in addition to yes and no, I can observe how strong or strong the answer is through the intensity of the rotation. For example, if I ask, “Am I okay with this meal now?” And the pendulum swings clockwise with might and main, making big circles, to me it means “Yes, of course!”.

If the pendulum turns with little force and with small circles, it could be “yes, but it’s not that special”.

Why is my pendulum shaking? What does that mean?

If the pendulum is shaking in any way, it may be because it’s trying to tell you something, but you’re not ready to interpret and decipher it yet. I personally believe that in cases where the pendulum trembles and moves chaotically, without any sense or logic, it can mean that the question I’m asking is wrong or that I’m not concentrating on the matter.

I may want to know something else about someone or a specific event that is causing me pain, anger, or confusion. When I challenge my pendulum to learn more about this situation, it’s driven by all these negative emotions and feelings and I can’t tune into my higher self, my intuition.

If this happens to you, stop for a while, meditate if you can, relax, and try again when you feel like you’re in tune with the pendulum.

What if the pendulum is still shaking?

If your pendulum is still shaking for no apparent reason, you may need to clean it and charge it with moonlight or sunlight. I often clean my magical tools in the moonlight and leave them outside. For a full moon or sage night, this is done by burning sage around it.

Do what feels best for you and after your purification ritual you can return to the practice and give your pendulum and question another try.
