The role of the pentacle casing and the seven chakra stones
This pendulum is recommended for you if you would like to move beyond traditional pendulum shapes. The brass casing is shaped as a five-pointed star, that is, a pentacle, and you can place one semi-precious stone at a time from the seven chakra-related stones into it. The stones include red jasper, carnelian, citrine, green aventurine, sodalite, lapis lazuli and amethyst. So one pendulum hides seven different tools depending on which stone you insert.
How to swap the stones
The pentacle casing opens, so you can easily change the stone before each session. For example, if you would like to work with a heart-chakra related question, place the green aventurine inside. Each of the seven stones is polished, smooth and stays firmly in the casing. Swapping takes only a few seconds.
How to use it in daily practice
Using the pendulum is straightforward. Hold the end of the chain between your thumb and index finger, with your elbow resting on the table. Ask clear yes-no questions and watch the direction the pendulum begins to swing. The 30 gram weight is enough for a steady, balanced swing. Many people use it with aromatherapy, herbal work, card readings or simply as a daily inward-focus tool.
Cleaning and care
The pendulum is made of brass, so a light patina may develop over time. You can easily rub it off with a soft cloth and a small amount of lemon juice. The stones should be cleaned separately: rinse them in lukewarm water and dry with a soft cloth. Be careful not to drop the small stones, as carnelian and lapis lazuli can be more fragile.
What to keep in mind during use
As the pendulum is hand-finished in India, the size and weight can vary slightly from the stated 3.5 x 1.7 centimetres and 30 grams. The colour of the stones comes from natural minerals, so shades may differ slightly from the photo as well. The pendulum and the stones are designed for calm indoor use; avoid carrying them in your pocket for long periods, as this can wear down the polished edges of the casing.
