Mystical Techniques: Pendulums

 A pendulum is a simple tool to create- a cord or chain with usually a crystal attached to the end. This divination tool is usually focused on yes/no questions. If the pendulum is made by the user it typically increases the bond between tool and user. There are two different variations to how they are typically read. The clockwise/counter clockwise and back-and-forth style. 

How it is used:
Hold it gently within your hand, typically between your fingers so the pendulum and cord can dangle freely.
Focus your energy down the cord to build a connection. It is important to program it before you ask any questions. Some people use the clockwise/counter clockwise style with back or forth direction as a maybe.
Back and forth in a vertical direction means yes, side to side for no, clockwise for maybe.
For both variations, the pendulum standing still means no answer.
You can practice a few times to get the hang of it.
Empty your mind and focus on a yes/no question (for example: Will I have a good day today?)
Watch the direction of the pendulum’s turn.

An example of the clockwise/counter clockwise version:
Will I have a good day today? Turns clockwise. Yes, I will have a good day today!

Please note: Pendulums tend to follow your energy, if you are emotionally invested in the answer it will give you the answer you want. Remember to stay objective when working with your pendulum.

Labyrinths-The Maze of the Mind

Often crystals are added along the path or guide stones are added for the compas points (North,South,East, West). Frequently benches are placed for resting and quiet reflection. The center point of the labyrinth is often a place is enlarged and allows one to reflect on the inner discoveries revealed in the process. The exact composition of the labyrinth can have many variations, some are complicated   and set up with choices of paths to take such as a maze.

Dreams-The Secret Language of Sleep

The definition of a dream   Dreams are emotional expressions of our inner most selves. Formerly thought of as visions. Dreams incorporate all the senses and reflect on our lives, helping us to understand and solve problems or just pass comment from the subconscious. Description of the two basic types of dreams. The two basic types of dreams are literal and symbolic. Literal dreams incorporate logically scenes and solutions. Because we are taught to think clearly and logically from childhood, many of our dreams reflect this tendency. The literal dreams should be taken at face value, as there is little symbolism or creativity involved. These literal dreams may recall past events, probable events or even future events. Reliving the past can be a valuable tool for acceptance or getting another chance to assess a situation. Symbolic dreams reflect our inner world of intuition and creativity; an expression of feelings and emotion. They can be expressions of frustrations or
