The
pendulum board is a basic tool of divination that has been
used by witches for longer than history records. Wooden
pendulum boards are the first and most ancient of the
"talking boards" so popularized by the board game
industry in the last 60 years. This particular talking
board is used in conjunction with a pendulum, a crystal or
other pointed weight attached to a rope or chain which one
then dangles over the center of the board in order to divine
the answers to questions. The answer to the question
will depend upon which way the pendulum begins to swing.
Though the pendulum board has come back into popularity
amongst occultists and gamers alike enough so that many are
mass-produced and readily available, like any mass-produced
item these boards are severely lacking. The popular
board of today is used to divine a yes or no question only,
and usually consist of a symbol in the center surrounded by
the words "yes," "no," "maybe,"
and "DWA" (don't want to answer). This is not
the way the ancient boards were constructed, and lacks
versatility as well as elegance and magickal significance.
As
you can see from the picture above, our wooden pendulum boards do not
contain words at all, but instead bear six magickal symbols
within the framework of a pentacle. The symbol that your
pendulum gravitates toward will help you interpret the
answer to your questions or feelings, and will help you
with a scope of matters far greater than a yes or no question.
The symbols on this board are listed below:
|
|
The
Triple Moon
|
The triple moon is a symbol of the Goddess,
for it is through Her intuition that divination is
granted. |
|
The
Sun
|
The sun is the symbol of all things positive, and has
always been used in divination to mean "yes"
if a question was not related to a choice between two
courses of action ("will it rain tomorrow?"
for instance), and as a positive sign if not divining
for an answer to a specific question. |
Jupiter
|
Jupiter is also a positive sign and represents
affluence, wealth, good luck, and general freedom from
cares. If a question is yes or no and related to
choosing between two courses of action ("should I
drive tomorrow?" for instance), this is a sign
for "yes." If not divining for the
answer to a question, Jupiter can be taken as a
positive sign, possible wealth, and clearing of
obstacles. |
Saturn
|
Saturn is a negative sign when divining. It can
be taken as a "no" answer if appropriate, or
a general slowing of resources, creation of obstacles,
and sometimes misfortune. |
Pertho
Rune
|
The pertho rune has been called by many the "dice
cup," since it deals with fate and luck. If
a question was asked, this sign may indicate that the
answer could be either way, or something not even
considered. If no question was asked, this sign
could mean great change, either positive or negative
in nature. |
Pentagram
|
The pentagram, or five pointed star, has long been a
symbol of the wild rose. In Celtic lore, the
wild rose and pentagram both stood for secrecy.
Getting this sign in divination indicates that the
answer may not be able to be, or should not be, divined. One
should use their own judgment in the matter at hand. |
