A synopsis of my crystals and gemstones purchases from our recent travels including a beautiful piece of Amethyst, a dowsing pendulum, and other stones.

In my last post, I wrote that I was going to take a few days off. I am back from a fairly brief vacation and thought I would share with you a few of my finds and treasures. I love it when you go somewhere for relaxation and can still manage to find items that you are really interested in.

We went to Door County, WI for a few days and then to Wisconsin Dells for a few days. It was very nice to be able to get away from the routine of the summer, which has been very busy.

So, what did you buy on vacation?

Umm…Rocks. Really cool looking rocks.

It was sort of funny, but I think I managed to find the only metaphysical shop in all of Door County, without even trying to find it. We were walking around looking at the various shops and it just found me.

I ended up purchasing a dowsing pendulum there and a very pretty bag for storing it, scroll down for photo. Here is another post I wrote a while ago on choosing a dowsing pendulum if you are interested in learning more about them.

Nearby was a great little stone shop that had a nice selection of crystals and gemstones. I of course had to buy some to add to my collection. My HB is not all that into stone shopping, so he waited patiently outside while I had my fun shopping.

In Wisconsin Dells we found the Dells Mining Company. It is a pretty interesting place where you can buy buckets of soil from North Carolina mines and whatever stones are in the bucket you get to keep. They help you identify any that are worth something too. They also have a nice selection of polished stones you can purchase individually, which is what I did.

Below are some photos of the crystals and stoned I purchased. I will be posting more about each one of the, including their healing properties, in the upcoming month, so be sure to subscribe to this site if you are interested in learning more about each individual stone.

How to Choose a Dowsing Pendulum

Learn how to choose a dowsing pendulum that is right for you by finding one that appeals to your sense of color, size, and shape. A pendulum can be made from metal, wood, or crystal stones, with each having different properties.

You can choose a pendulum based on balance, form, color, or the properties of the stone if you are looking at crystals. Pendulums can be made from metal, wood, or crystal stones, each having different properties. If you choose a crystal pendulum, each stone has different properties and you can choose based on what each stone offers. A wood pendulum has a smooth, solid, earthy feel to it. A metal pendulum also has a smooth feel, but is heavier in weight and gives a sense of balance.

You first either need to purchase a pendulum or make your own. I would recommend for a beginner that you purchase a pendulum. Each has a chain attached that is about 10 inches long and then a small counter weight or crystal at the other end. There are many places online that you can buy a dowsing pendulum, or if you have a local metaphysical bookstore, you may be able to buy one there as well.

There is no specific type of pendulum that necessarily works better than another, it really comes down to personal taste and finding one that resonates with you. For a beginner, try to find one that seems responsive to your energies. You can either purchase one based strictly on its vibration and how you feel when looking at it, or you can test out a variety and see which one feels better in your hand and is the most responsive to a few basic yes/no question.

Most pendulums range from about $15.00 to $50.00, with the majority being around $20.00 to $30.00. For a fairly low initial investment and perhaps a book on dowsing, you can begin to learn to connect to your higher self.

This is an item that will be tuned to your specific energy, so please don’t share your pendulum with a friend or family member. If they are also interested in learning how to dowse, it would make a wonderful gift idea.

Find a spot to store your pendulum. Many do come with a storage pouch, but it would also be a good idea to find a special box to put it in when not in use. You want an out of the way place where others will not touch it, as others can transfer their energy to the pendulum, thus muddying your answers and not giving you accurate information.

Pendulum Dowsing

Laura — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 12:38:34 +0000

Pendulum dowsing is a method of learning to access your intuition by asking specific yes and no questions of your higher self. Learn how to achieve a greater level of intuitive accuracy by using a dowsing pendulum.

Why Dowse?

This method of divining can be a very useful tool for answering many of the questions that come up in day to day life and trusting the answers you receive. It can be used to find lost and misplaced items, answer questions about an upcoming trip, a new love in your life, health questions, missing nutrients in your diet, potential career moves, or questions about money and finance.

A pendulum is fairly easy to learn how to use and does not require years of study to become confident in your abilities, although of course just like anything else the more you practice dowsing, the better you will become. By asking specific yes and no questions and also using percentage tables to narrow down your responses, you can make quite a bit of progress on issues that may not have had clear answers to you before.

I have been using a pendulum for about a year now. It is fairly easy to learn, but the key to its accuracy is the quality of your questions. By learning how to ask better questions, the reliability of your answers increases.

One of the things I like best about using a dousing pendulum is that it’s very portable and it doesn’t take a lot of set up to use. In order to begin you recite a small paragraph so that the answers you are receiving are coming from your true higher self.
