what I am not understanding is why it should be "lying" or "telling me the thruth" - I mean, I never for one instant supposed my Tarot or Oracle cards were lying to me, why would my pendulum be prone to lying...? That we might be lying to ourselves, sure, but...
My niece has successfully used her pendulum and says the same as QoW...mine does not work as well as I would wish, her suggestion was to go find another that resonated better with me...but really, why would it lie?
(QoW, of course that was all good advice and is the prescribed method of use. Please don't take what I said to be a comment on how you use the pendulum - I am SO not attacking what you said in any way! I just don't understand about the lying and truth...)
The reason I do that, is for two reasons. One is, I do it for a clarificataion and i think that is a better way of putting it to make sure my pendulum is accurate. I think others may also say that their pendulums can act stubborn or be inaccurate from time to time. Remember, I just got my first pendulum saturday, but have read up on them and am using some of the advice I found. Good point about the tarot cards. Sometimes I think mine pick up on the energy surrounding hopes and fears rather than the actual answers, although I have made several accurate predictions with my cards, but cards I think are a different thing all together.
The other reason I do it is because from what I've read, and I could be wrong, but pendulums and the charts are a lot like spirit or ouija boards where cards are not. Can you be sure of what is swinging your pendulum just like what is talking to you from the board? This is why I make sure now after asking with my alphabet chart who was on the other end and it was a dead person, what is swinging my pendulum. Now if it weren't my guides and were some spirit or entity, I'd want to make sure they were being honest with me, so I just do it as a test really, then find out who I am talking to. But today I tuned into my guides and plan on continuing to do so.
