Pendulums
Small pendulums
have become prevalently used in dowsing, radiesthesia, and related divination systems which once employed diving rods.
Questions are so phrased as to acquire answers by the clockwise and counterclockwise
movements of the pendulums. These movements have the similar function as
the raps given in a Spiritualist seance.
Early forms of pendulums used in divination consisted of a wedding ring
suspended from a sick thread. Currently, however, the practice of radesthesia
obtain subtle prognostications from the pendulum's oscillations. This practice
is being used in water diving, discovery of metals, medical diagnosis, and
discovery of missing persons. A.G.H.
