Woke up with my head overwhelmed with creative thoughts. I needed to do something more than write. I needed to bring something fresh, alive, and magickal physically into existence. At first I couldn’t seem to gather my thoughts to focus on what that should be, and then a piece from a book I’d read a few days ago came bubbling above the swirling turmoil of my chaotic mind.
I have a great passion for dowsing and I try to stay on top of all the various published theories out there, but I came across one in a book on Atlantis I hadn’t stumbled into before. There’s a chap (embarrassingly I can’t recall his name…I’ll get it up on another post when I find it again) who has done extensive work with dowsing who believes the length of a pendulum’s chain makes the pendulum more sensitive to finding various objects. In testing this he also discovered everything can be detected on a chain 40″ in length.
Fascinated by these possibilities I decided to create a pendulum with a 40″ chain. After thinking over the design, I thought having a 40″ chain you had to shorten wrapping would be clumsy so I decided to modify it. Below is both the pattern and a few pictures.
Sadly other obligations kept me from working with it once I had it assembled. But I very much look forward to working with it over the weekend. I’ll be keeping a list of what I discover on my other site.
Items used:
- 40″ of ball chain (cut into 4 10″ segments)
- 4 double sided ball chain connectors
- 1 magnetic fitting
- 1 connector to attach chain to magnetic fitting
- 1 Brass plumb bob (make sure has two holes in it)
- 1 small key ring
Putting it all together
- Put 1 double sided ball chain connector on each segment
- Attach the magnetic fitting to the other side of one of the segments using the proper connector to do so
- Attach the keyring to the brass plumb bob
Use
- When your ready to dowse click the magnetic fitting to the top of the keyring
- connect as many segments as you need for the job
