The spiral that swings with noticeable presence
This pendulum is made entirely from brass, polished to a gold tone, in a classic spiral shape. Crafted by Indian artisans, the piece is 6 centimetres long and weighs 32 grams, which places it firmly among the heavier pendulums. The extra weight gives it a calm, balanced motion.
Who this pendulum is suited for
You will find this type useful if you have already worked with a simpler stone pendulum and wish for more decisive, unambiguous answers. The spiral form, together with the weight of the brass, produces a strong, easily visible swing. Healers and therapists often choose a heavier metal pendulum for their work, because it remains reliable through long sessions.
Aromatherapy and herbal work
The pendulum can serve you well when choosing essential oils for a diffuser. Hold it over the small bottles and observe which one strengthens the swing. It can be used in a similar way for testing the ratios of herbal blends, or when searching the shelf for the tea that suits you best on a given day.
Care for your brass pendulum
Do not place a metal pendulum in water, as brass oxidises over time. After use, wipe it with a dry, soft cloth. If the surface begins to dull, polish it with a fine microfibre cloth, or with a little lemon juice followed by a quick rinse and dry. Store it in a dry place, ideally in its own small pouch, so that it does not get scratched.
Long life and patina
Brass develops a patina over time, which gives it a warmer, deeper golden tone. Many people find this more beautiful than the bright new surface, because it shows the marks of use. The patina is not a flaw and does not affect how the pendulum works. If you do prefer a brighter surface, you can polish it as described above.
