Let’s create your own Divination Board! These can be made as simple or as complex as you desire.
Divination Tools
Most modern witches are familiar with the term divination, and therefore will happily list several different types of divination tools – from tarot cards to rune stones to pendulums.
The common thread of these tools is that they help you to move messages from the subconscious, to the conscious mind. Hence, they are amazing for Shadow Work!
Many believe that this is a way to connect with your higher or true self. You can also use them to connect to source, spirit, guides, or lost loved ones.
Pendulums
Pendulums are known to be particularly useful when it comes to accessing your subconscious mind. They are great for assisting you to see the truth or to determine if you are on the right track for your next step.
With practice, a pendulum will help you to access subtle energy shifts in one’s aura, or energy field. They are often used during chakra healing sessions and in different energy healing modalities.
Pendulums come in many shapes, sizes, and materials. So, it will be easy to find one that works for you. Honestly, almost any necklace or even a thread and needle can be used as a pendulum in a pinch.
Most practitioners find a crystal that resonates with their energy well and feels good to them. This helps with the connection.
Here are some examples from the shop.
Practice Makes Perfect
New to the art of pendulums? We suggest starting with simple Yes and No designs.
We recommend that you start off slow and learn how to truly connect with your unconscious by using your pendulum often before graduating to more complex board styles.
Learning how to be adept with a board that has a full alphabet can take more practice than you might expect.
You can absolutely do this!
It is a great way to learn to trust your gut!
